    I am mildly interested in hearing your argument that the script Indiana is traditional.  Can you elaborate?   When I think IU tradition, I think Block I or IU Trident, not Indiana script.

  What's traditional about it?   It's a brand new style of helmet, never used before, unveiled for a football game against Western Kentucky.   The only tradition we have with that helmet is we are 1-0 wearing it.  Against Western Kentucky.  38-35.  In 2015.   I'm not trying to break your balls.  I am just trying to make a point.   If you like tradition, try the Block I or the Block IU.  We went to the Rose Bowl wearing the Block I.

I'm a Block IU Trident guy with the interlocking I and U to form the IU Trident.  That's our logo, and I think it is one of the best university logos in college sports, and also one of the best logos in the world of logos.  I also really like the Block I.   On top of that, I also like the new helmets, the helmets from last year, and this year's newbies.   I have to wonder if someone was simply overcome with drunken college gameday zeal when they proposed the petition lol.  Everything is a good idea when you are drunk.  No offense intended to those who think the new script is the greatest helmet ever made.  I just don't agree.  Strongly.  Even if it is an OK helmet.   I just don't think it is better than the Block IU Trident, our logo, or the Block I, our tradition, or the State Flag recently added to the mix, or good enough to forfeit our freedom to introduce new helmets in the future.  The new helmets always seem to be wildly popular and fun, and nearly all of them are worth bringing back again.  Keep em coming.  Don't stop now.

  Me too.   Been hoping for some size at the PG position for some time now.

  Maybe we can pick him up and he can play QB, CB, and Safety too!

  I hope the Bears pick him up.   We need WR/PR/KR

  The University of Illinois takes its tradition of scandals very seriously and this year they seem determined to smash some All Time Records.   I do enjoy the Illinois stories.   Keep em comin boyz!

  Good Lord.  That's worse than "The Fist" by Bruce Weber

Dear Lord, please comfort the souls of those affected by this gruesome killing spree.

Prayers offered up on his behalf, Nat.

  dear lord, prayers offered up

  Praying for her now.

Prayer offered up on you and your sister's and the rest of the family's behalf.   Very sorry to hear the news.

Praying for more peachy for you too!   Not the sarcastic kind!

    Hi!  How are you?  Thank you!

  Late prayers offered up on your behalf, Nat.     Praying for you and your family too now, Jaybob     Late prayers for you and the new member of the family, Trav.     I too have a prayer request if anybody sees this one.  2 renters just broke their lease and left me holding the bag.  Would like to request prayer for help to triumph over this recent setback.     Thank you all!

You poo-pooing upstarts just don't understand the game as it is intended to be played if you see it that way.   The key is dominant pitching, with pitchers who can crush the ball, and a bench that is synchronized with your pen.   That's baseball, boys.   When you get to the playoffs and your mashers are still working the butterflies out, and your ace steps into the batters box and launches one against a future Hall-of-Famer in the third to get the offense untracked, you know you have a team to be reckoned with!

Me too.  Also not a fan of the dh.   I like the strategy involved in batting your pitcher.  And I like pitchers who can hit too.  That's fun.

Prayers offered up on your behalf, brothers and sisters!

Thank you, guys, for the prayer!

Thanks, guys!  I need it!

Major special intention prayer request on my behalf, please, Hoosier prayer warriors!
