    NBA Draft Thread

    I thought the same thing when I read that.
  2. Whoa. I feel the need to set you straight here. Phil's first two albums were really good. He started going off the rails a bit with "No Jacket Required" and never got back to the first two. I never felt his solo's were as good as Genesis though. Billy Joel is and always has been over-rated. Ok, let's move on.

    Seen a lot of the "University of Indiana" from recruits, but I think this is a first.

    Trayce Jackson-Davis - Golden State Warriors

    Maybe a team with 3 first round picks would go after him...
  5. All I can say is no one who has had the unfair advantage under the "old rules" like the playing field being leveled.

    Who fills the last scholarship?

    I really don't see a reason to hang on to a scholarship in the current climate of the portal and players moving all the time. My preference would be to get a player who can help us for one year. I like Galloway a lot, and maybe having some forwards who can hit from the outside opens things up for him, but I really just think we need about 13-15 PPG from that position. But, then again, maybe not. Last year's team definitely could have used that, but maybe there's enough scoring at other positions on this team. Gallo is that guy that will wear on opposing players over the course of the game, and there's a lot to be said for that. Whether it's Gallo or someone else, I just want him to be able to take advantage of the offensive opportunities that present themselves over the course of the game.

    One problem with this story. You said attractive.
  8. No worse feeling than this coming on at someone else's house. Ask Tommy...

    "One of the most difficult in North America." I'll take your word for it and not attempt to find out myself.
  10. I just asked the Magic 8 ball. I can't say what it said, but I think you all will like it!!!

    I've only done two full marathons. They were hard enough without adding the cold and elevation! My marathon days may be behind me. The training time is just too much of a commitment, even if my body can still hold up. I never say never, but...
  12. Potato products only, and then only if malt vinegar is not available.
  13. We got this. He is announcing on May 12, or 5/12. 5+12=17. How many letters are in Indiana University? You're welcome...
  14. Has anyone reached out to M&M's about a NIL deal? Seems like a good fit.
  15. Seems like everyone is getting all caught up in what a lot of people who have no idea are thinking. They thought he was committing on May 2nd, yet he didn't. He still took the visit to IU. I don't know any more than anyone else, but until I read or hear the words from his mouth, IU is still being considered. We've all been on this roller coaster enough to know that things are not always as they are perceived.
  16. Why doesn't anyone like us anymore? We're good people! He seemed so into us and then just stopped calling. What did we do wrong? I knew we sent that follow-up text too soon! We should just give up and stop recruiting altogether.

    IU Autographs

    Nice. I didn't realize Lou Watson was still an assistant AD in 1984.

    2022/23 IUFB Offseason News

    I'm not arguing anything. I'm just stating facts. In TA's most successful season, he won 6 games. In reality, Allen's best move was to hire DeBoer and bring in Penix as QB. Allen's success came from those two guys and followed them when they left. As I said before, if Allen's behavior and trajectory make you happy, then I'm happy for you.

    When do we get to see Allen's prime? ...or have we already? When you say his last two seasons were train wrecks, which coach are you talking about?

    2022/23 IUFB Offseason News

    You're cherry-picking stats. Once he got rolling, Mallory was more consistent over a longer period. He went to 6 bowls over 9 seasons in his prime. The three years he didn't over those years, they won 5, 5, and 7 games.

    The truth is a funny thing. It's not dependent on whether you like it or not. You asked about other IUFB coaches success. I'm old enough to remember Coach Mallory. He managed to have a respectable team on a yearly basis and really good ones every few years. He got good players and developed them into really good or great players. He was also a class act. I'm not trying to argue with anyone about our current football coach. The results speak for themselves. Anyone can see his record and see him on the sidelines and decide for themselves. If that is what you want, than I'm happy for you.
