Rutgers gets a massive throw-down at 1:55 and the announcer says: "That may be the exclamation point!" That came about 15 minutes ago.

I did not see Race's injury, but I do have exclusive footage of our practice yesterday.

It's Cooper Bybee time!

Man, did that get ugly in a hurry.

Well, we can't blame this one on a poor start.

Jerome just bounced the ball right to the Rutgers player. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

We can't score but at least we can't stop them.

Somebody been yankin' our chains?

I posted in the other thread, but will do here as well ... Reliving the "War of the Worlds," perhaps? Nothing but a hoax? ... He could very well be injured, but who knows?

Could it have been a reprisal of "War of the Worlds" --- a big hoax? Race, warming up at the State University of New Jersey ... He very well could be injured ... Who knows?

It seems to me that by most indications, he will most likely be back next season -- your chat with the Super Sub notwithstanding. Do you think he gets a little latitude from the decision-makers for going all season without his starting center, losing his best shooting guard for a couple games in the middle of the season and presumably finishing the last two weeks of the season without one of his two healthy true front line players? Please don't understand me -- I'm not making excuses for him; just asking a question.

Hmmmm ...

I'd be willing to bet Old Fart is praying it is true as well!

That whole thing last night reeked of the old "I know something you don't know" game that 5-year-olds play. Just seemed very childish. If you have info and are gonna put it out there, do it. Otherwise, what's the point -- other than to get attention, I guess. And rather than to share information, that very well may have been his goal. ... I saw on another board, people were guessing as to what might have happened. One person wrote something like, "I saw some things, but I'm not saying ..." ... Then why post? What's the point?

My guess is nothing has been released to protect Race's privacy. ... It's sorta up to reporters who cover the team to flesh it out and so far, it appears nobody has. That Tom Brew dude posted a couple hours ago that the IU media relations department had no comment. Well, of course they had no comment. If you're a reporter, you need to have better sources than just going to the SID.

The new scouting report on us, sans Race Thompson ... "They got no head toppers -- a bunch of mites, run ya off the boards. You got to squeeze 'em back in the paint, make 'em chuck it from the cheap seats."

Is Coach K retiring? LOL!

On a FB page I follow, someone said Race broke his nose and that it's the kind of injury that requires surgery -- a mask won't do the trick. Or more likely -- surgery, then a mask. Said it's all over Twitter and message boards. Guess I'm not looking for the right things, because I'm not seeing anything on Twitter -- except that Sam Story tweet.

If what I'm seeing here is true, maybe very, very soon ...

Tough call. He did mention that Joey is "pretty much done for the season." And while he didn't say that specifically for Stewart, he sure didn't make it sound as if he'd see the court this season.

Just listened to Archie's presser today. He sounded almost as if he thought he screwed up by not getting Geronimo some minutes against Sparty. ... I have to admit, I found Jordan's riding the pine a little odd.

Oh, boy. Here's a hot take. Stephen A. is calling out Brad Stevens. Load up that Mayflower truck to B-town, baby!

A chat w/ Mike. Says he's perhaps a little ahead of schedule. Will be interesting to see what happens when camp opens this summer -- will the job be his, or will Tuttle push him for QB1?

Happy 21st, TJD. Drink up! (He must be older for his class. When I was in college, I didn't turn 21 till I was a junior.)
