They wanted to do that to my grandson. He had a knee injury that they wanted him to play through so he decided to do something else. I think he could have been pretty good for them, he made the north/south all-star team, but in the end it was an unpleasant experience.

This very true. My grandson was on the team on scholarship for one year. They suspended classes in the spring semester because they couldn't afford to pay the professors. He left school after that and joined the Navy.

We can discredit the competition all we want, but this is a much better team than we had last year. They showed discipline and poise. No stupid drive killing penalties or acting like a fool. I'm not sure last year's team could have scored 77 points against a high school team.

Western is........not good.

How many times have we played them?

I'm calling BS on the last part. Nobody's feet smell good.

That can't hurt.

Given the number of new players I'm not too unhappy with the way we played. CCC is obviously less than pleased with the product on the field. I see a lot of room to improve, but I feel much better than I did last year.

I loved the Tao and I have the cookbook. I am a vegetarian so that place was perfect for me in the spring of 1976. I was in grad school and had my three year old daughter with me. We spent a lot of lunches there. She loved the " lellow cheese samiches". Special memories.

I just finished the book. I loved every bit of it and it's one of the few books that I was sad to see end. My job in the U.S. Postal Service required me to visit post offices around the state. If a town had a post office I was probably there at some point. And if it didn't, I probably drove through it on my way somewhere. Seeing the entirety of Indiana was the best part of the job. Whenever a town was mentioned in the book, I could picture it in my head. I remember nearly every single player who contributed to the book and remember most of the state finals games they talk about. In my house the basketball tournament was must watch TV. Class basketball pretty much ended that for me and Indiana high school basketball quit being unique. From the comments of several of the players they thought so too. Those were truly great times to play or be a fan of Indiana high school basketball. I want to thank @Whoozhers for making me aware of this great book and @eljefe6 for providing me where to purchase it.

You high rollers crack me up. With a bunch of needy kids and grandkids I am firmly planted on the bottom shelf.

Given our recent portal success and our high quality late high school additions, I am considerably less anxious about high school kids decisions. Would really like to have him, especially since we have been talking about for a long time. However, I no longer see anyone as a must get.

I'm in the same boat as you. When it comes to IU football, I've been been cautiously pessimistic for more years than I care to remember. This feels different. CCC has a specific "blueprint" approach to building a football program. It's tangible, it's methodical, and it's exactly what we have needed for a long time. And, if you he can inspire confidence in me, he can convince anyone.
