I noticed that something IU has been missing for part of this quarter. Penalties.

It's the beginning of a beautiful season! Right?!

Tradition!

Beans!

Contract extensions negotiations between IU and Allen and Adidas have started just now.

Oh ye of little faith...

I just ate some delicious homemade bean soup. In an hour I will make a few editorial comments on IU's football season.

Uh, my better half says "Get rid of the football! For heaven's sake, I can do better than that..." Direct quote.

Wake me when Indiana men's soccer is on.

The Battle of the Titans!

What Color is Your Parachute? is a practical guide to help one land the job one is looking for and change one's career. It comes from the saying: Check your parachute before you jump. Implying that Tom Allen is on a slippery slope and has been checking the exit pros and cons. Sorry it was obtuse. Thought it was obvious. Heh.

TJ Sheffield, senior receiver. is no longer with the boil makers because he is entering the transfer portal. Yawn. It's senior day up at Farm U for those older cow pokers that could not find their way to the exit. Tom Allen arrived in W. Laffy yesterday riding a banana peel. Reportedly he checked his parachute. Coach Allen has reviewed and approved the same damn game plan: that is take the lead and then go conservative. I will be watching when not ordering stuff online and sipping my favorite bourbon...and planning a trip to see IU basketball. Tom needs that parachute. We need Tom to use it. By the way, who packed it? Dolson? Not holding my breath. It is Indiana. POTFB.

Going to pop for 4 tickets to OSU @ IU basketball, Saturday, Jan 6. Considering Cascades Inn...2 rooms. Probably purchase A or green lot one evening. Any suggestions?

I went there in '75 after getting out of the Navy. Took a statistics class. It was ISUE at the time. Then back to IU!

One year. Peacock shows that the cost goes up after a year.

Earlier this year I bought a smart Samsung flat screen tv. Set aside my older Roku stick. Just got it out and tried to get Peacock and BTN+ and read here about the 'deal'. Set aside my older Roku stick. I just got Peacock, too. And cancelled my BTN+, gladly.

Revising my guesstimate. Indiana, of course 31 Purdoodoo 24

On the group W bench...the meanest, nastiest...came up to me... He said, ‘What were you arrested for, kid?’ and I said, “Litterin'” . . . .

Oh, stuff it! The turkey, I mean. And a word of advice...beware the dark meat...

Happy Holidays and happy Thanksgiving. Remember those less fortunate. Hug those closest to you.

I have mixed feelings about Peacock, BTN+, and other pay-to-stream services. But whether we agree with the Big Ten's decision to earn more money and, in turn, providing more to the universities, this site and ITH are providing us a service. They are informing us that there is a reduced fee for viewing more than a few IU games. I say thanks to OF and ITH for letting us know. My better half and I are frugal with spending for a lot of entertainment. We cook at home about 6 days a week. And I hate paying lots for cable/Hulu/whatever. We can well afford such fees. But both of us are glad that ITH and OF(BtownBanners) have told us of this reduced price. Just think. A couple of dollars goes to IU out of the fee. Now complain about Coach Allen getting over $4 million a year. And nurses don't even get healthcare in their benefits. And those folk serving tacos do not get a living wage. Nor do those in assisted living cleaning and serving. It is not a fair world in any sense. Give your $20 to some do gooder non profit. Like drilling water wells so people do not have to walk 5 miles for water. We do that and more. I can understand people not liking to pay. I don't like it. It is different. Welcome to the money-grubbing new world. And vote with your remote. Don't watch the games. That will show the Peacock and the B1G.

Include: All players make vast improvements throughout the preconference games; All players play well in conference games; Compete favorably with the best in the conference; Get a decent seed in the NCAAT; Get into the Sweet 16 with a decent opportunity to advance; Start thinking about hanging another banner!

I graduated from both Indiana and Wisconsin. And I went to Harvard. I was visiting my sister-in-law's family. Had to paahk our caah outside of their gaahraahj.

Nice prediction. However, this is the results thread. May want to post that prediction on the Game 6 Harvard Prediction Thread for it to be considered. good luck...
