All of your years of wisdom have given you a nice level-headed approach to IU news. I love it, I'm just not very good at it yet. 

You give me FAR too much credit for possessing wisdom and being level-headed. I ride the roller coaster of emotions through the peaks and valleys of IU basketball and football news just like everyone else here and just tend to keep extreme reactions that I experience to myself. Don’t always succeed in that regard either. Most recent example was me being publicly disgusted about IU football last year and how I had finally succeeded in making the emotional break after 50 years of fandom and buying season tickets. THIS was at last going to be the year that I would drop 2 of my 4 football season tickets and was only keeping 2 for basketball points purposes with no commitment to using them or planning my Fall weekends around IU football.      Well, you probably already guessed it - I re-upped for 4 seats again this year. I’m just another chump!

I believe you are wrong. Ledlum & Knecht have the COVID year only. Ware does have 3.  

Ahh yeah the math makes sense now lol. I saw that Timberlake was 2018 class and Ledlum and Knecht were 2019 and just assumed without doing my finger math

My wife was going to Inkwell so much to see Miller Kopp I thought he was going to file a restraining order for her to stay 100 feet back. LOL Not really but she did run into him there about 3 times when I was never around. Was it Bruce's diner?

I'm also very excited to see the makeup of this team next year. I think the freshman are going to make a big jump

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

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.

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

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? 

Ivy League didn’t play that year I believe.

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.

Man, I’m one week too late! My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last weekend in Bloomington! Our daughters got us a night at the Graduate on Kirkwood last Saturday night. 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.

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!
