Haven't seen that yet.  Is it pretty common for coaches to bring in their own "Marni's" when they take a new job?

Marni did not work for Crean or would she have worked for Archie. She was not a basketball employee, she was an athletic department employee. Archie might have some say on who the new person is but FG will have the final decision.

Thanks.  That makes sense.

I'm glad this is how it works. A little checks and balances with the academic side is a good thing. Hi UNC!

I've been to a little Tavern in Denver.  They play both kinds of music Country and Western.

Is this a good place to ask why so many Indiana towns share a name with somewhere else?

I was thinking the same thing. Appears they ran out of names that end in "field" or "ville" so they pulled out an atlas and went to it: Mexico, Peru and Denver.....not a lot of imagination in 19th Century North Central Indiana I guess.

Portland, Kokomo, Brazil, Columbus, Montpelier, Albany, Geneva, Winchester, Syracuse, auburn, Akron, Warsaw, morocco, Monticello, Milan, Versailles, Rockville, and Attica are the ones I think of on top of those. I can't tell you how many times someone told me where they were from and I asked the wrong follow-up because they didn't toss that "Indiana" at the end.

Not just North Central IN.  It's Southern IN too; Rockport, IN and Rockport, CA.

Add Rockport, and I believe there's a Rome as well.

I feel pretty comfortable in saying NOWHERE else has copied the name of the spot-in-the-road where I grew up.

Gnaw Bone, Indiana

For those who don't know, it is on State Road 46 about five miles east of Nashville, Indiana.

 

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Not just North Central IN.  It's Southern IN too; Rockport, IN and Rockport, CA.

Both named after Rockport, MA

I mean, I live in a city named after Portland, ME in a state with town names like "Boring" and "Bend" and a capital named after Salem, MA named after a Biblical city so who am I to judge?

I always heard it was named after Narbonne, France but, you know, Indiana countryfolk can't say Narbonne…

If we're going down this tangent, America in general is pretty unimaginative with names. The Northeast, because of colonization, borrows many British names, including some really obvious ones: New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey.
