Class of '66 Old Fart

When Calimari announces he's reconsidered and decided to jump to the NBA (again) will tell you that pUKe's headed for an NCAA investigation.

  Because we all love you!  Does that work?

  An injury we can live with as a reason for limited play but please don't let it be due to alcohol or marijuana issues.  We've had enough of that drama to last us a lifetime.

  Also noted she only played in 4 games???

I'd just like to see the NCAA move a little faster than it historically has with its investigations.  At the NCAA's typical pace, MSB will be on Social Security and playing on the Old Folk's Home All-Star team before any decision is announced.

Most importantly she said Indiana University and not U of Indiana!

  Many of the largest banks have departments that cater to the pro athlete and will make these kinds of loans "on the come".  Even if they go overseas, they'll likely make enough to make the payments.  

MSB is THE MAN!        Tim Priller ‏@Vanilla_Prilla May 16 Almost had to jump in the arena myself and slay the red knight after he threw my woman flowers, but he got killed so I'm good#MedievalTimes

This really has been a depressing week, so in an attempt - as feeble as it may be - to restore a little levity let's try some Vince & the Crüe:     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WAZ60xA9wo   You know he’s a player             Standing six foot nine. He came to us from Texas             Passing up Incarnate Word That’s when things went right             And he moved to Bloomington We love this kid and he’ll never feel             Left all alone   Take him to your hearts             Feel him in your bones. Just one more game               And he’s tearing up the             Kentucky Wildcats.   He’s on his way             He came to play             Middle School Bob Tonight Tonight             He’s on his game             We cheer his name Middle School Bob.   You know that we’ve seen             A lot of great basketball Under the lights shinin’ down             On Assembly Hall Bob’s wearing our candystripes             For the whole world to see. Sometimes nothing             Keeps us together             Like our own Scooby-Doo.   He’s on his way             He came to play             Middle School Bob Tonight Tonight             He’s on his game             He’s earned his fame Middle School Bob.   Yeah!   He’s on his way Just let him play Middle School Bob

This has been a difficult and trying week for MSB as well as the entire Hoosier Nation.  If we could have bottled up all of the tears MSB has shed in frustration, sorrow and anguish over this week's developments the western states drought would be over.

  Then we'll just have to judge you for what you don't post.  :yes:

MSB singlehandedly dug the Grand Canyon  --  on his lunch hour.

MSB was the ghost writer for Lennon & McCartney.

Ev’ry morning at the gym you could see him arrive             He stood 6 foot 9 and weighed 225. Kinda lean and skinny like corn on a cob              But everybody knew you don’t give no lip to Middle School Bob.   Nobody knew where MSB called home             Only that it was somewhere north of San Antoine. He didn’t say much, kinda quiet and shy             And if he spoke at all, he just said “Hi”   Some said he came from faraway lands             Drawn by the sound of Crean’s clappin’ hands. Once in B’town and after just one glance             He wanted to wear the candystripe pants.            Then came the day with the pUKe game on the line             Crean shouted his name and said “You’ll do fine.” Calipari was prayin’ and his heart beat fast             ‘Cause he knew his team had breathed its last.   Through the heat and the sweat of Assembly Hall’s hell             Entered Middle School Bob to the crowd’s huge swell. He grabbed a pUKe rebound, gave out with a groan             And just for a moment he stood their alone.   And with all of his strength he gave a mighty heave             A full court shot to the crowd’s disbelief.                                                                               Then the Hoosier Nation roared with glee             Middle School Bob had swished a 3.   Now pUKe never got over its awful loss             And Middle School Bob is the new Big Boss. He proved Calipari was nothing but a slob             And thus became the legend of Middle School Bob.   [somewhere Jimmy Dean is spinning in his grave.   :laugh: ]

To the rest of the world it's Remember the Alamo but in Texas, it's Remember MSB!

In one of the lesser known NASA and federal government cover-ups, Neil Armstrong's first words upon stepping on the moon were not "That's one small step...."  What was bleeped was "Holy crap, MSB's already been here!"

MSB calculated pi to it's full completion.     BTW, you people are killing me.  This is better stuff than any stand-up comedian ever came up with.

Come listen to my story ‘bout Middle School Bob             A down home kid and certainly not a snob. And then one day shootin’ hoops in Texas land             Coach Crean came callin’ and clappin’ his hands.   Real loud claps; multiple claps; IU claps.   Bob’s first scholly came from old San Antoine             Incarnate World first to throw Bob a bone. Crean said Indiana is the place you oughta go             Wearin’ IU candystripes and I won’t take a no.   Little 500; Dunn Meadow; Beautiful Coeds   Bob said yes and became a wunderkind             An IU legend in our hearts and our minds.  Immediate fan favorite that’s Middle School Bob              Not to mention that he's the campus heart throb.

Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100 meters because he was being chased by MSB.

  Shall we start a pool on how long it takes for him to run the Liberty into the ground?  Incredible on-court basketball talent; incredibly bad decision maker as a manager.

And if he accepts how many de-commits and transfers will FL have?

  I thought Larry really threw Hibbert under the bus with this comment:  "Lance (Stephenson) ain't stealing his rebounds, I'll tell you that,'' Bird said, eliciting laughter from the media. “That's all I heard last year.''  Kravitz suggested the Pacers might even help pay Hibert's moving expenses if he would opt out of his final year.

Thanks to a successful yard sale last Friday, bake sale on Saturday and car wash on Sunday together with turning in my aluminum cans to the recycler I was able to scrape up enough money for a subscription.  But I'll be going hungry until my monthly Social Security deposit is made on the 23rd.   :cheese:  

He's a blue-collar, hard-nosed kid with a good basketball IQ.  Not the most athletically gifted basketball player but very glad he's on our team.

    l like the muscular definition that's already evident in O.G.'s shoulders and biceps.  Wish we still had Je'nay Jackson on board to work with all 3 but especially with Juwan and Thomas who will need to 'muscle up' for the rigors of B1G basketball.
