Not sure how legit this contest is. Brenna is now down to 10.9%, and someone new (Mikayla Pivec)has been added to the voting, and she has 21.7%....

3rd place!

First, it’s possible to watch a team and not support the coach. When Sampson was hired, I hoped he’d changed or could at least keep clean while here. As soon as I saw the character of his recruits, and Sampson’s unchanged nature, I couldn’t wait for him to be gone. Just because you’re comfortable with cheating/grey area doesn’t mean everyone is. Call me what you will but I’d much prefer to lose while following the rules to winning while cheating. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Or, he would have created a different negative situation here. He's had controversy of different sorts at several stops.

Someone mentioned to me that several of the ladies were sick with cold/flu symptoms. Cannot speak for the validity but would help explain the running out of gas and being off-step. I'm just happy to get a W lol. @Class of '66 Old Fart, we about had to do the double negative thing and let @JerryYeagley23 start the next one!

You have the mod board, that's pretty entertaining at times

And take away your benefits!

No, no it's not. This is the anti-Purdue thread, nobody wants to hear negative stuff about IU in this thread especially. There's one devoted to that

And don't forget that you can vote as often as you'd like! (Although, as @johnsoniu noted, the anti-robot verification stuff picks up after about 10 votes- I'm getting tired of selecting crosswalks, buses, vehicles, chimneys, motorcycles....., lol)

@Class of '66 Old Fart posted this yesterday. I wanted to start a separate thread so that it didn't get lost in the other discussion in that thread. C'mon BTB, I know you're great at helping the Hoosiers in voting (remember when we got barred from voting for Oladipo by the Orlando Sentinel???). She started at 7.5% yesterday, and with a few of us voting, she's up to 17.2% today (4th place)! Everybody give her a few votes- contest runs through 3/23. Another Hoosier in the running for national honors. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2020/2/5/womens-basketball-brenna-wise-a-top-10-finalist-for-senior-class-award.aspx Be sure to go to the website below. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner, and fans are encouraged to submit votes online at the Senior CLASS Award website through March 23.

This could be my new favorite saying!
