Oh no, was it that burrito place off of 24 and West Park Drive (by West Park)?! :)

Thats now a dog training spot. Next to it is Moes. Fantastic little restaurant.

Banishing goats has not helped you in the past. Time for Chicago to embrace its fate. Introducing your 2016 Chicago Goats! 

Who said anything about banishing? Hows about kill with impunity?

Perhaps its time to stop being mean to goats and the World Series will return.  Perhaps consider letting them graze on the field during every 7th inning stretch.

You know what comes after grazing, right? With the amount of poo we've seen on that field in the last century+, we dont need anymore to clean up.

According to Twitter, Starkville actually is a pretty nice college town. Which sucks for us.

You're saying there are other college towns that are nice just like Bloomington is nice?

 

That is blasphemous, everyone knows Bloomington is the only nice college town

Don't tell anyone I told you this. But, many if not most "college towns" are nice in the same way Bloomington is nice. When students make up half the population of any small city, they'll inevitably influence the growth of restaurants or bars or cultural centers or whatever. Those things will be thought of as unique to this town because they aren't in non-college towns and most people don't live in other college towns to see how similar they are.

 

Um, I mean, Bloomington is the only place like itself in the US!

The basketball IQ of our campus is of a much greater quality though.

I've got the same bad feeling that I did about Goodluck. I think he's heading to MSU

I posted on the other forum that we went after Davis as a last ditch effort just like many of the recruits we finish second with. Has the same feel aND sound of Goodluck

Article by the IndyStar regarding De'Ron's announcement.

@ZachOsterman: IU top target De'Ron Davis to make college choice Thursday. Where do Hoosiers stand? https://t.co/ci3lHf8rFc #iubb

Important quote:

"Thinking about the move to college, Fisher said Davis has been impressed by IU coach Tom Crean's track record in player development, the opportunity to play early in Bloomington and the academic support the Hoosiers offer. But IU's biggest advantage encompasses all of that.
"With Indiana, it's the environment," Fisher said. "Everything is so dedicated to Indiana basketball. The tradition is so deep, so strong. It's bigger than any one recruit, any one coach. It's a history all its own. The town of Bloomington, that is basketball central.""

Also, the two items other than Howland cited by De'Ron's coach Danny Fisher as MSU's selling were academics and the strength and conditioning resources. Indiana just so happens to compete very well in those categories with seemingly every program in the country.

In a show of optimism, I believe Coach Crean will no longer need apologists after the incredible season we have coming up.

 

The only thing we have to fear now are Walking Boots marking the decimation of our limited resources in the front court. DAMN YOU FOOT INJURIES!

I feel good about getting Davis, Kegler on the other hand...

What is wrong with goats? They have been bringing luck to Cardinal fans for 70 years!

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Well there you have it:

 

Davis and Kegler know each other's decision.

 

If y'all could read their texts instead of their Twitter feed, you'd know what that decision was.

 

So your saying the Department of Homeland Security already knows?  :biggrin: Sorry---couldn't resist!

But it's Albers. I believe he's right, but only because plenty of other, more reputable individuals have indicated that Davis is coming here.
