I'd hate to think how good Harper Jr could be if he ever really got in shape...

It just goes to show....doesn't matter how much exercise if you put crap in your body....your going to gain weight....it's like Zion....the stuff he eats he would have to run a marathon each day to work it off.

I’ve gotten a lot better over the years I wasn’t always like that. Just realized that while I love sports, it’s just a game and there are WAY more important things in my life than that. My wife was in a car accident the other day (she’s fine) because some jackass almost ran her off the road causing her to hit someone else and then he ditched. My mind has been caught up on that all week tbh. Basketball can be a nice distraction sometimes. 

This post is so true! Glad to hear the wife is doing OK. I lost my brother right before Thanksgiving to a brief battle with the big "C". It does put things in perspective.

Takes a special kind of person to come to this thread as an opposing fan following a loss. Maybe masochistic tendencies perhaps?? lol

I’ve been on this board a long time through good times and bad. Don’t want to ever have the fair weather label attached to me you know? 
 

And yes maybe some masochistic tendencies too haha.

Really sorry to hear that man. I get the whole rivalry thing but at the end of the day we’re all people and it’s just fun-natured jabs back and forth. Would be happy to buy like 99.9% of you beers in real life haha.

Sorry to hear about the accident and glad that she is OK. I did not see this post so I feel like a jerk poking fun before responding to this one. Its a game we all love and we all here hate the Boilers but most of us really like you and I enjoy your perspective on things. Kind of like a take from behind enemy lines. Just thankful she is ok.

Oh dude you’re all good. I didn’t take it personally. I feel really bad for her. Her HR is being really shitty about her having to already go back to work this week even though she’s on heavy pain meds and is a therapist working with kids. I’m pretty livid.

I know we've said this before, but the NET rankings love them some Boilermakers. Rutgers jumped 57 spots after last night. 

NET formula:

# Quad 1 wins X 1.4

# Quad 2 wins X 1.2

# Road wins x 1.1

If team = Purdue = yes X 1.5

If team = IU = yes X 0.50

Well I just started a new route in my job.  The first two days I had to go to a hospital morgue and pick up a baby who was premature and died.  I had to take it back for an autopsy and it puts things into perspective.
