  3. I hate to ask for prayers again, but here goes. My older brother was admitted to the hospital 2 weeks ago with a lung infection(non-covid, he wastested) . They haven't been able to get rid of it and it has steadily gotten worse. They Finally put a chest tube back in. We know he will be in there for a few more days. This is the same brother who I asked for prayers last fall when a tree fell on his chest and he had broken ribs and a collapsed lung. I also request for myself.

  4. this is the newest game on BtownBanners, "see who can beat Old Fart starting a new recruit thread". [emoji6] It doesn't happen very often. He does a great job keeping us informed. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

  12. The other day I recorded 4 Indiana classic games. 3 of them were against Purdue. I'm watching the 1988 Purdue at IU game and there is a starter I completely forgot about. His name was Magnus Pekowski. If I remember correctly he transfered after the season. On another note, I would have loved to see the BtownBanners game thread for this game. There would be a lot of B******* after IU blew an 18 point lead. I think Purdue was ranked in the top 5 coming into the game. Edit- Dean Garrett had a monster game and hit the winning basket with 4 seconds left. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

  14. Perhaps if they had done better last year, we might have seen a better opponent. They haven't proven they are ready to play better competition. We may look better on paper, but it isn't a lock. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
  15. Interesting article. Especially this part: “You can see a path where there is some consensus that something ought to be done in terms of giving the NCAA some leeway,” Grow said. “If you look at the baseline numbers, and polls are all over the place, but people are generally more supportive of compensating student athletes, but I saw something fairly recently that when it comes down to universities putting basketball and football players on salary, only like 15 percent of Americans support that. There’s this weird scenario where everyone hates the NCAA, but at the same time, I don’t know if the majority supports full on pay-for-play. I can see that if the NCAA played that right, it could gain some traction.” That’s especially true, Grow said, because the ability of the United States to compete athletically on a global international scale comes from its ability to use its college campuses as training grounds. Though the non-revenue sports do not add to the bottom lines of athletic departments, they do help shape Team USA in the Olympics and other international competitions. That’s likely to appeal to Congress in its deliberations. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, we lose women’s tennis,’ from the perspective of the schools themselves,” Grow said. “The whole Olympic framework in this country depends heavily on the colleges and universities training the track stars and the swimmers, etc. That’s going to be the first thing that’s going to get cut. You could see some scenario in which Congress says, ‘Hey, this is a little untenable to have totally unregulated competition here.’ They’re worried about the Olympic part of it. I wouldn’t expect them to sign off and say the NCAA gets a blank check, but if they had enough protections in place that athletes would get some kind of more meaningful voice, you could see them getting more traction. I’m not a political scientist, I’m not sure how likely that is, but it’s not implausible in my mind to think they could find some momentum there at some point.” https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-professor-opinions-in-alston-v-ncaa-spell-long-term-trouble-for-amateurism-model/ Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

  21. I agree. I never think twice about the names or what a uniform looks like(unless they are really ugly like the Astros' unis in the 70s). Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

  23. I like all 4 of those photos [emoji328], but for some reason the third one with him sitting is my favorite. He looks good in candystripes Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

  25. This article has IU as the 5th most likely to get Flipowski. Don't know much about this site https://bustingbrackets.com/2021/06/07/ncaa-basketball-recruiting-ranking-11-contenders-2022-f-kyle-filipowski/4/ Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
