  1. I swear Harry Carey was drunk by the 3rd inning of every game.
  2. I hear he wants to spend more time with his family....Until the SEC train comes rolling through.
  3. Yea for you, I guess?!
  4. Anything that doesn't have the 'sweaty back' look is A-OK in my book (for the most part).
  5. That crazy train sure made me laugh a lot. Momma Williams running to the bank laughing all the way there.
  6. You say that now, but the bastard will probably put 30/15 on us. The universe is funny that way.
  7. That must be some kind of department of health violation right? That's disgusting.
  8. I didn't see that. WTH?!
  9. Careful, some people take statements like this very seriously! ;)
  10. We arrived home around 3am this morning after attending my first IU game at Memorial Stadium since the Navy game and was honored to take my wife and children to Bloomington for the first time and show off the stadium. Because it was a quick in/out trip for the game (and the drive home loomed) I wasn't able to show the family around the campus. We arrived at 11am, hopped into the Varsity Shop and then headed over to the game. By the time we got the munchkins fed and watered it was nearing game time. We bolted after the game (after another quick stop at the Varsity Shop). Nice to see some things never change...those lights in Martinsville still suck...but 37 overall is much better than the last time I made the trek. The stadium. It's absolutely gorgeous. I mean, beautiful. I absolutely love it. I remember how much the wind ripped through the stadium when the ends were open. There was a good breeze on Saturday, but I barely felt it. Ok, one crappy thing...the flag pole. It split my view of the screen. More of an annoyance, but couldn't they find a better spot for it?! The game. Welp, we were who we thought we were. More of the same. We still can't tackle. Still can't throw a deep ball (thank God for PI's to keep drives alive). I like Ramsey...but he's not the guy. Marcelino Ball is a stud. I don't know if anything about his future has been said, but I'll be shocked if he's around next year. Stevie Scott was a pleasant surprise for the season. #27 with the throat slash...c'mon man. Right in front of the official too. Luckily that drive stalled out mid-field, but it would have been nice to have that field position. So many things to rant about. Ah well, I'm a homer and I love IU and still had a good time. The crowd. You could hear a pin drop. I know I know put a better product on the field...etc etc. Scott would run 8 yards, drag 3 guys, and it was like a golf clap throughout the stands. Don't know if that's the norm or a culmination of the season. And there was a fight in the section about 20 rows below me. That's always fun. I couldn't see what was going on, but there were about 10 cops and 5 event staff roaming around and eventually a couple guys were pulled out. Purdue fans were classy for the most part, nothing that was said that was cringe worthy...lots of compliments on the stadium. And who the hell puts up scores and stats on the big screen?! Is this amateur hour, there were multiple errors throughout the game. The halftime stats were wrong (34 receptions at half?!), they had the Georgia/Georgia Tech score flip-flopped, so everyone thought Tech was laying a beating on Georgia. Just total amateur hour. Embarrassing. Regardless of the outcome I always love being in Bloomington, if only for a few hours.
  11. I'll take the not playing at all option myself. But that's just me.
  12. Very fortunate there was no penalty. The ref probably thought it was accidental in the heat of the moment.
  13. That stop was awesome!!! That was a huge tackle to end the half!
  14. I hear they don't have drop ceilings.
