I so disagree! And I am all in on TJD staying at IU, both selfishly and from a look at his professional development. When a young person gets a chance to receive independent mentoring from the absolute best in the world at their chosen field, it is not something to be turned down! If Trayce and his dad were doctors, musicians, or any other profession, we wouldn't think twice about the value of him getting feedback from the pinnacle of his future profession. This is largely the same in my opinion.

He was our man! Our buddy! And my friend! RIP my pal. We miss ya bro! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I miss the General

The more numbers I see, the more I remember the sick people with a weird....something that was never diagnosed and presented as "negative" for the flu, and the more I read about people with antibodies, the more I think this bad boy's been around for longer than "since January 21st."

Working from home, preparing for one schooling from home, preparing to occupy the other from bothering the one schooling from home, and a cat in heat! It’s time for a drink! And I really miss basketball[emoji30] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I had to come home today because of flu like symptoms. Wasnt hiding them I don’t think it’s Corona but hoping to get tested(doubtful) so I can get back to work

Hey, I showed my prowess by leading my Boilermakers to a big win over Northwestern.....coached by me as well.

I honestly don’t feel that bad. If this wasn’t going on I would have popped some Tylenol and been at work. I don’t even have to take vacation but since I don’t feel that bad I want to get back to my team we are understaffed and I want to be there for them.

I wouldn’t trust a word the CCP says! When this is over its time for big changes to be made in the relationship. Or so called relationship! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

My coaching prowess leads THE Ohio State University to dropping a home game to the dreaded paternos. Any record on if the 5 loud screaming fans traveled with PSU to my arena? If so, with my coaching powers, I’ll ask that security not allow those turds at our next matchup. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: classroom, community, character and competition. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native is a two-year team captain and started every game for Indiana in her career.

No dice: Accepted to Jacobs. Accepted to his dream school, which sadly is Boston Conservatory. THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE A GODBLESSED BASKETBALL TEAM! But alas, he will be in Boston. Two more kids to shoot for as Hoosiers ;)

Somehow I missed this sad news, I am so sorry. I salute the general. He was the best, let the proper documents reflect this. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Since January 21st and as of January 14th, the Chinese government was telling the WHO it wasn’t contagious from human to human. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

912 people yesterday died from this just in the US. New York had a worse day by population than any day Italy or Spain has had Statistically we will likely see 1000+ die tomorrow. Variation might spare us a day but at the rate of increase we are looking at 2000+ a day by the end of the week Louisiana, New Jersey and Michigan are hot beds sounds like Chicago may not be far behind. Indy and Miami may even be close behind them.

Hey man hope you get to feeling better. We had 2 in our extended family get tested. 1 was negative and 1 positive. Fortunately the positive one is feeling great but we all crossed paths with her so now we wait. Hopefully you feel better soon and can get tested to provide some direction Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hard to win games at OSU when Kaleb Wesson decides not to show up.

Pretty scathing article from Rob Dauster on Billy Gillispie's hiring by Tarleton State. Tom Coverdale gets a mention in the article. https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2020/03/31/tarleton-states-decision-to-hire-billy-gillispie-is-shameful/

Quarantine is making people philosophical again.

FYI for those who asked. Jeff Goodman is the source for IU's possible interest in Turner.

This is nutty. Phinisee, Lander and Durham are going to get the lions share of minutes and Leal, Galloway and franklin will back them up. If those backups end up lighting the world on fire we might see some 3 guard lineups to get them more run and balloon that 80 minutes to 120. Al is going to be a huge part of the team and suggesting he should leave is idiocy Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The only player that is coming in next year, potentially, that is as good or better currently than Al is Lander. We were thin at guard and not good at that position either. Our other freshmen are not going to fix that right away, your giving them way to much credit/expectations. We need Al to come back and improve his 3 point shot to 40% and find ways to get open for kick outs from Lander. There is nobody else that is likely to be at 40% next year - he is our best shooter and we suck at shooting Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

When you say a player has peaked at the age of 20-22 years old, it sort of discounts your argument. If we have 4 or five guards better than Al, then I would say Archie is taking this program in the right direction.

Bless you and your family Tammi. This on-line community was enriched, entertained, informed (and occasionally put in our place...lol) by Gary. He is missed and regularly remembered here. The imprint he left here greatly contributed to a place where he left the effects of a life well-lived.
