Mmmmm y'all talking breakfast??

 

Inkwell and Runcible Spoon are my go-to breakfast spots these days.  Back when I was on campus, there was a diner just a few spots to the west of Uptown, I can't remember the name.  Best biscuits and gravy in town, but they shut down.  

 

Also you all have me refreshing this page a little too much this morning.  Real excited to see what this team will look like next year.  

You talking about Ladyman’s Cafe back in the day? Another one I frequented was Gib & Denzils and no idea if they’re still around. Oh and, the old Hour House that became Jared’s Subway but that was typically a 2 in the morning breakfast experience. The Hour House special was 2 eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns and toast or English muffin for $.99!

Give me Uptown for breakfast (or any meal for that matter) and Lennie’s for lunch and/or dinner - those are my long-time go tos.

If Kopp’s dating game is like his bball game, no worries about him taking a shot at your wife.

He's too slow to get it off. HAHA I kidd

Gib & Dentzil I believe turned into Wee Willies which there is only one around anymore which is in Ellettsville and owned by their son. But not the same as the originals

Ledlum was a junior this year, so wouldn't he have 2 counting COVID?  I believe you're right on Knecht only having 1.

Yeah, looks like you are correct and I was mistaken. I thought he played 4 yrs at Harvard, but looks like he must have red-shirted in 20-21. Or did the Ivy League cancel that season due to COVID? I am so confused!

Ivy League didn’t play that year I believe.

Man, I’m one week too late! My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last weekend in Bloomington! 

Happy 30th to the newlyweds.

Any level of concern scaring HS commits from committing with all the transfer portal rumblings. Not sure how in tune HS players are to the transfer portal comings and goings but these transfer hub schools can't make it easy for true freshman to gain minutes, no?

On a podcast I heard (but have not verified) that 19 of the 40 Elite 8 starters had transferred from their original school. “It is what it is” these days.

My wife and would have gladly been super snoopers for Hoosier Nation! We’ve stayed there about 3 times now, wonderful experience. If you ever get a chance, I would highly recommend it! To top it off, IMO, the best breakfast in Bloomington is at the Uptown on Kirkwood, hands down!

Whenever I’m in town I stay at The Graduate. It’s great walking distance to any spot really, glad you enjoyed your stay in God’s Country.

Purdue’s NIL sucks, so I would say he’s grasping at straws.

I will have to give it a shot. My oldest daughter swears by the Runcible Spoon for breakfast.

Went to Runcible Spoon multiple times during my years at IU. Phenomenal Eggs Benedict.

It's a nice twist on the pizza threads these normally evolve into when we're waiting on news.  And Stuhoo has awful taste in strombolis, for the record.

 

On topic... not sure when this was last posted.  Bates made it, no mention of Jordan.

Rumor has it they took Ware to Runcible Spoon yesterday, and he (allegedly) committed later in the day. 

Rumor has it they took Ledlum to Uptown on Kirkwood today, and he has yet to commit (to our knowledge).

That settles it.

Runcible Spoon is the best breakfast spot in Bloomington and The Official Indiana Basketball Transfer Portal Player's Favorite Way to Start the Day.

You have to woo potential recruits with all the wonderful food options for various times of the day! Always have to sell, sell, sell and seal the deal!

RS is indeed the second best spot in town, behind VD because of the Paxton Taters. Uptown is cute, but meh.

I wonder if the new portal world will pressure high school kids to commit earlier than they have been. I could see them wanting to lock up a spot at their school of choice before the portal madness begins each spring.
