Tariffs

Salad bars buffets and all things shared in restaurants are disgusting. We have a pizza chain called Dewey’s. Last week my minion and I were eating there. They have clear red pepper and parmigiana shakers. He likes to handle his parm on his pizza himself. After he did the shake with it he took it and licked alll the parm off the top of the shaker. Just ran his tongue along the entire top. I was paralyzed

Well, at least he doesn't need anymore vaccines.

Woodson: "That's on me..." is getting old!

Playing a season with a team that lacks talent is only tolerable if the team plays with max effort. I struggle to root for this team when I see lazy play. Indiana basketball fans demand effort. Sure, we love to win, but if you watch the crowd's responses, they are never as loud as when they watch a good defensive stop. Effort wins the hearts and minds of fans who have to watch a team lose a game.

I'm almost done listening to Woody say, "That's on me" when the team fails to deliver. If he expects to hold players accountable for their lack of effort, then the AD needs to hold him accountable for errors he admits are his fault.

Living in Columbus, Oh

If you are wanting to get parked before the noon game, how soon do we need to be in a lot before they become completely full? 8 am? 9 am?
There’s a lot of parking options and this area is farther away so it will fill up later than the closer options. 9:00 at the latest. My brother and his wife have (her parents) have OSU Alumni parking in Ohio Stadium. My wife and I will drive to my brothers house at 7:00 and we will ride with them but we will also be parking in the grass lot off Ackerman. I am the only IU fan in our group. The rest including my wife are all OSU grads. It’s a fun game for me. I’ve stated before on here that I grew up in Columbus, undergrad at IU and post grad at OSU. I was a OSU fan growing up and still have a lot of love for OSU but not Saturday.

I wish Luke Goode would quit launching 3s....

He's like o for how many in the last few games. Our percentage would be way higher if he just passed more and shot way less. He can't hit. Hope IU never paid too much NIL for him.
Great idea: have one of your best shooters stop shooting because he's in a minor slump? Not worried about his shooting as long as he's taking good shots. I think he was 1-2 last night, so not like he's throwing up a ton of shots and that's 50%, so he helped our % last night. If he's taking good shots, you want him taking all that he can. Shooters shoot themselves out of slumps, not stop shooting.

Not that there would be such insane mass substitutions like last night, but.........

What is the point of mass substitutions? In the NBA I get it. The clock hits a marker and both teams do it.

In college though, why are you doing it? It can disrupt the rhythm and kill momentum. Experimenting with lineups in a game that seems like it’s becoming a blowout is one thing, you can do that by bringing in 1 or 2 off the bench to see how it goes.

Going back to RMK. If it is a problem with all starters playing like they don’t care, and you want to send a message, I can understand that. The bench sends message to the players …. Etc

But, when you are rolling there is zero reason to do it.
Just needs to work out a functional rotation. Think I'd first sub Ballo and Carlyle and get a few more minutes out of Rice, who's a stabilizer and to me seems the most important for pace and flow. Then bring back Ballo and Carlyle with Galloway so you have 2 ball handlers in the backcourt and Ballo and Galloway have played well together in the PnR. Whatever it is, you can't have too many starters off the floor at once.

I'd just texted a buddy when it was like 21-5 how much better our D looked, and then it was like a switch flipped and it was a battle against old, bad tendencies for the rest of the game.

Still like Hatton and his effort when he comes in and think he'll find some minutes. I know one time I'd bring he, or Tucker or Goode in: when Reanu has a brain fart and walks away on the FT line without blocking out. Pine time.

90 year IU grad-with chip on my shoulder-we will beat Ohio State!!

Ya Ohio State fans -I heard-you-you think what can a 90 year old guy do and that I don't belong here -so I tell em, look me in the eye-all 140 pounds of me, -I've been around the block-faced big odds before, the Army couple of years in Okinawa (peace time) toughened me up some. IU and I are ready for you. Found some life long loves-IU, my IU met wife of 65 years-been around the world-our country-far and away the best, like our coach and team.

That's what IU will be Saturday.. Seen it with my own eyes-Bill Mallory 's team crushed them in Bloomington, my wife and I were there (after beating them a year prior in Columbus. Saw coach Hep who would have done it too, had he lived. Now we got the real deal. My shoulder is pretty scrawny now but I got a great big chip on it now, but it will send vibes with thousands of other IU fans, who in the toughest moments Saturday will help us prevail, as in win

Gloriana Frangipana ere to Her be True She's the pride of Indiana Hail to old IU
I got to enjoy Okinawa too in the 1976 for three weeks attending staff school. I hope to have my life love for as long as you had yours as we are now together for 40 years. Now we both get to see IU getting a coach that can move IUFB into the top of B1G.

Memorial Stadium renovations coming?

A savvy coach, which I think CCC certainly is, would approach NIL from the perspective of getting the 'best bang for your buck'.

Looking at what Cignetti assembled in year one and without knowing concrete numbers, I'd still say that Cignetti was EXCELLENT at value shopping/bargain hunting....

If you've got a money tree I guess this theory doesn't apply. Michigan apparently has a money tree because they gave a 5* QB like 12 million dollars yesterday!! It's out of control and caps need to be in place.

I wish Luke Goode would quit launching 3s....

For 2 years now..."they need to shoot more three's"....start shooting more three's, and then it's "we need to stop shooting three's".....this fan base is atrocious.
You can't possibly watch this and think this is acceptable. The effort, the subbing, the approach to D, the sets.

What are the positives you see and please don't say we are 4-0. This schedule is a joke.

A reason for Covid vaccine skepticism?

Even with "the initial vaccine saved lives"...it still wasn't worth taking it for 90% of the population. In dire cases,fine, not for the entire population. It takes 10 years to get approval for a headache medicine sometimes...but the vaccine was good to go in 10 months?..they would have had to tie me down to get me to take it.
That is debatable but once again I real time the shit was real. Herd immunity was not necessarily a bad goal to try to attain. Monday morning QB could take it either way but as Spartans said those of us in healthcare knew what was happening and the political posturing on both sides was maddening

those whole sale line changes aren't working, haven't worked ever for Woody.

last night was particularly hellacious. and it destroyed our mojo into the 2nd half. having to call a TO 2 min into 2nd half is not a good thing.

Agree. The maddening part is he keeps doing it when even amateurs like us see it does not work. He's is either stubborn or incapable of learning at this point.
