AZ Hoosier

here's a couple for ya

It’s GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY. There is no Grand Canyon State, at least not in Arizona (where the actual, literal, hole-in-the-ground Grand Canyon is).

... or the disparity between a man’s basketball player and a woman’s field hockey player. Paying student athletes (beyond a free education) is a slippery slope that very well could end all college athletics...

I really hope you are right... and I am rooting for a full and fast recovery and return... but you also have to be realistic. A ruptured achilles is a major injury that will take time to fully heal... and there's no guarantee that De'Ron will be able to play at the level he was at before the injury... but definitely rooting for him to succeed.

Things may be bad but at least I don’t have to worry about getting drafted by the Browns tonight.

The best quote I heard throughout this past year's NCAA tourney? "Statistically, Purdue is more likely to get to the moon than they are to get to a Final Four". Painter and the Boiler-weenies can suck it!

there. that's better.

One could argue that Vonleh was somewhat of a collegiate bust. I never saw him as a 'fit' here... and between his college coach and Vonleh's attitude, IMO, it was not going to work any way/and how.

To me, it just seems like kids wanting to speed up the process of getting to the NBA... getting to college a year early gets them to the (potentially) big paycheck a year earlier... but you are correct, there is always the issue of maturity, both physical and emotional/intellectual. Some can do it, but not all can or should try.

It's hard to clap when I have to keep hiking up my pants, shuffling papers and drinking all this Diet Coke.

Well, color me shocked. [emoji15]

and we all know how that ended.

Received an offer - 4/17/2018 Combo Guard 6-4 180 CLASS OF 19 BRADENTON, FL(IMG ACADEMY) 247 ESPN Rivals Just saw a tweet that Jahmius Ramsey was offered by IU http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/230354/jahmius-ramsey Blessed and Thankful to receive an offer from Indiana University‼️ https://twitter.com/newanimprovedJR/status/986312851030716417/photo/1

My opinion. No one else needs to feel obligated to hold it.

The girlfriend was crippled as a result of the accident, and she no longer was "worthy" of Recker's companionship/love. He dumped her in a flash.

Speaking of loathsome human. beings ... Luke Recker is the "other reason" why Stevie isn't coaching in Bloomington... after the Pierce saga...

Conspiracy much? I will agree that early on Knight was a master strategist... but a truly loathsome human being - especially if you crossed him. He clearly outlived his welcome in Bloomington, and was his own worst enemy. At this point, he's just an angry, bitter man. Archie is our guy now...

Even more egregious than the culture of enabling and protecting the sexual predator and pedophile is the fact that MSU is proposing tuition rate hikes to cover the ‘attorney fees’ for defending their actions and dealing with the fallout.

IUBB None of the others matter. When I left Indy, the Colts were in Baltimore and the Pacers were in the ABA.

Was your 5yo anywhere near W Lafayette? Don’t tell me he was shaking hands with the purdouche BB team or any of their co-ed livestock. [emoji15]

No, officer. Honestly, I was just helping those sheep get over the fence.

That's the absolute worst case from a Kansas perspective... but with a post season ban, it might be enough keep you-know-who home next season.

Here they come again... https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/ncaab/2018/04/10/additional-counts-college-basketball-scandal-kansas-nc-state-louisville-miami/504994002/

Glad to help out... InArchWeTrust posted a link to a tweet from reporter David Jesse that included the link... but didn't the link itself posted. Just doing my part to spread the truth.
