I just love the last few words of the opening paragraph   "coach an effective style of play, and win"   :lol:

So, apparently, IU is looking for an assistant bball coach.....   https://jobs.iu.edu/joblisting/index.cfm?jlnum=10925&search=2   Anyone think they are up for the task?

What are everyone's views on the new NASL team that has its first official game on Saturday? Anyone going? Do you follow the team? Will it continue its success that it has had in selling tickets? I heard that they sold the 7,000 season tickets pretty quickly.   I've heard doubts from some people as to whether or not it will last. I'm hoping it will, but I don't live in Indy, so I don't know much about the support for it.

  Yeah, Shabazz Napier

  I should retire eventually, looks like a great time to do that now! Who wants to co-own my timeshare?!

You gotta love it when people blow things out of proportion... CFB and CBB are two TOTALLY different things....

Obviously, losing Halstead was going to put a damper on the season. But honestly, isn't baseball all about just getting through the struggles? I really wouldn't worry about how the team is performing or under-performing until closer to the end of the season. This is nowhere near the time to but this team to bed.

Love this team, lots of fight, lots of grit. May drop a few here and there, but that's baseball. Let's prove the doubters of northern baseball wrong again! #IUBASE

My advice: get involved. If you think you might enjoy something, go out and do it, even if its just for a little while. If you don't think you will like it, go to the call-out meetings for the free food.    I lived in Teter, and while it may not have been the most glamorous, I lived on a co-ed floor. So. Much. Hookups.   IU is a different experience for everyone, depending on what they chose to do with their opportunities. Take yours, and do with them what you will. Just make sure you can't look back and say, "What if?"

  My mom has always told me "Communication is a receiver phenomenon". It all depends on how the person being spoken to interprets the message. Even with the most careful of deliberations, words can still come across with a different meaning than what one wants.

  But he did hire (or at least keep) the coach, did he not? By that token, meeting with and having the coach succeed would fall under the "control of employees who get paid".   I also don't think you can put individual success on a different plane than team success. It's all athletics, right? Not saying he should get paid for any of it, but if it's done for basketball, why shouldn't it be done for tennis?

  Why funny? Isn't that what kids do nowadays?

In case you guys missed it, Jeremy just followed several Auburn accounts on Twitter...possible destination for both him and PU transfer Ronnie Johnson

  Wow are you out of touch. Everyday, I see the freshmen chilling together. Stan and Troy are peanut butter and jelly. Luke was here over the summer with Collin, they even had classes together. Off-court friendships have grown, or at least as far as I can see. They are always with each other, heck, most of them live with each other!

Fair enough. Just wanted to see if the chat room worked, haven't heard of its use much
