Class of '66 Old Fart

Hitting the news this morning. Andrew Luck returning to Stanford. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2024/11/30/andrew-luck-stanford-football-general-manager-gm/76674444007/

Transferred from DeSoto HS to play for Legion Preparatory Academy in Dallas. Full story behind a paywall but here's a brief blurb from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. I'm just too old school but I have to wonder about the academic side of these institutions that spring up and have amazing athletic success right out of the box. A nondescript building in Dallas lists an address for a school that many may not be familiar with: Legion Prep Academy. The school was formed by Nishia and Donald Walker in 2015 but the 2023-2024 school year was the first the school had an athletic program — starting with girls basketball. Taylor Johnston’s first squad was built with some key players from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, many of them some of the top players in the metroplex. With a roster that featured four college signees from the 2024 class, the Bulldogs went 25-4 last year and won the TCAL State Championship.

4:00 ET on Saturday Preview Live Stats

Better forecast. Morning low 30; afternoon high mid-40's; sunny; wind NE at 5 mph. GO HOOSIERS!

Little over an hour until Providence tip-off and no game thread! The silence is deafening. Carlyle and Cupps are questionable; Newton is out.

Opening round game in the Battle 4 Atlantis. The Cardinals (3-1) have defeated Morehead St., Bellarmine and Winthrop. They were beaten 77-55 by Tennessee. Radio

I thought last night and again today he (Tyme) was trying to say conditioning was an issue? Did you get that same sense?

Woody could coach the Globetrotters and lose by 20 to the Washington Generals.

Nembhard had 13 assist. We had 17 total.

I'm done. Woody has just plain sucked the joy out of IU basketball.

IMO that's been going on since the end of last season with Dolson having full expectations Woodrow is gone after this year.

Just shove it where the sun don't shine!

Long time; no post. Welcome back.

I jumped the gun and had it ready to post before the final bucket so it was a 28 point loss tied for his second worst. I have since seen a tweet that our largest beatdown was 32 points in 1954 when we were ranked #7 and got beat 97-65 by unranked Cincinnati.

NO! Woody's going for a new record.

I took a break from raking leaves to come inside and check on the game. Think I'll go back outside and rake some more leaves.

According to the Big Ten availability report, Indiana’s Jakai Newton is questionable for today’s game against Louisville. No other Hoosiers listed on today’s availability report.

UNC leading Villanova by 20 with under 4 minutes left so I'm feelin' pretty confident it's UNC we'll be facing for the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship. Who da thunk after the Harvard and Butler games? Tarheels (4-1) only loss was to UConn 69-58. On the post-game CTM pretty much ruled Syd out for tomorrow which was hardly a surprise. Said they'd have to wait for imaging. Can't expect another 30 point game from Shay but someone will have to help put points on the board. And with Syd out, Jules has got to find a way to stay out of foul trouble. Need more than 12 minutes/game from her. Haven't heard a word about Beaumont and if she's expected back anytime soon or not.
