Shooter, you crack me up. You post this overly dramatic gem in the Only Good Things thread.

This thread is now my sole reason for coming to this forum. The forum is deleted from my bookmarks.... it's become far too toxic, with insults, threats of violence, just outright nastiness. I bookmarked this thread and will try to ignore the rest of the forum. No guarantee of success though.

Oh I see that some of the toxins are having a good laugh

Here's a smattering of your comments just this week that would make you a "fellow toxin" which you want to avoid.

Would it be even better without so many morons like you? Certainly.

It gets worse, since Trumpers are having kids at record rates. Why? Because they use condoms by placing them on a broomstick, as they were taught in health class. They don't really work like that.

Too much high fructose corn syrup could be bad for brain cells. For McMurt, who is already struggling in the brain cell category, he might want to taper off. Plus the carbonation might contribute to his notorious flatulence that drives off the chicks even more than the gravy seal gut.

I don't sympathize with either extreme, as an independent. But I think you'd have to admit that the Trumpers, with Cheeto dust stuck in their fat rolls, provide a sight and an odor to particularly avoid.

That would be my ignore list. Which of course you should be on, but when I put you on it, half the threads disappear, since you have no life

I see posts by dumbasshoosier... er i mean dbmhoosier and IUcrazy2 posting shit about the Chinese intentionally releasing an bioweapon, posts which I was assured I was lying about, or that perhaps were merely a figment of my imagination.

"Why don't you do the world a favor? Pull your lip over your head and swallow." - Max Goldman

Just now, I stopped by my local Starbucks to grab a pick me up espresso for the afternoon.

As I’m walking into the store, there’s a panhandler, dirty, kid about 20. Little cardboard sign, ratty clothes. He quietly asks if I can buy him “a coffee.”

Normally I say no or ignore, but a coffee? Why not. I say “you want a coffee? Sure kid. What size?”

His response: “ just a small mocha cookie crumble”.

“What?”

He repeats it.

I just started laughing out loud. “You’re kidding me?”

“No sir.”

“You really want some sugar, huh. Ok. Give me a minute.”

I’m sitting here waiting for it to be made. Anyone want to guess what it cost me?

Now that we know the laptop was real and Hunter’s laptop, should the 51 former officials, Biden and all others who said it was Russian disinformation be prosecuted for election interference?

It would seem with their deep roster that they may trade away a couple for future picks. Two of last years picks didn't see much action (Walker & Tshiebwe), in fact they hardly saw the court. Sheppard showed some promise though.

Right now they have the 6th, 19th, and 20th picks of round 2. They had no 1st rounder last night, as it went in the Siakam trade (well worthwhile).

I am thinking they go big, with resigning Obi Toppin being uncertain, they need a PF or a PF/C to eventually give backup minutes.

Interestingly, Filipowski has slid and is still on the board. 6'11" and offensively skilled but not a rim protector and probably a PF-only. I wouldn't mind him, defender Adem Bona, or undersized leaper Jonathan Mogbo. The Pacers don't need PGs at all or I'd take a flyer on Shead, but a few wings available are Furphy and McCullar from Kansas, Christie from Minnesota, Reeves from Kensucky, and my personal favorite Nikola Djurisić from Serbia, 6'7" sweet shooter with hops and only 20. Long term potential.

Thoughts on where they should go?

Yes there are changes to the Rivals site and TheHoosier.com. Changes usually bring mixed reactions, but change in all things is inevitable, especially in an effort to make things better.

There are several exciting, new elements that come with the front page and content refresh, including a scrolling latest news ticker, an expanded content display and new homepage widgets. In the future those widgets will be customizable, but initially they will default to the Rivals250, 2024 Team Rankings, your team’s Top Targets and your team’s Commitment List.

There is currently a Promotion for FREE Premium content and Premium Boards access. The link https://indiana.rivals.com/sign_up * code: IUSUMMER.

There are many of you that enjoy the boards everyday, but are not subscribers. We provide a ton of content, as much as anyone. And we want to be able to do more. The only thing that is free for us in our coverage is admission. There is a cost to everything else for us. Travel, equipment, payroll, etc. The cost of a Rivals subscription is $99.95/year or .27 cents a day.

And my hope is that you will please consider supporting what we are doing by becoming a subscriber to theHoosier.com. The Promo gives you multiple months for free.

Oral argument the week of Apr 22. Decision probably not until late June. It's likely the Court will rule against Trump, but it's looking more likely that he'll be able to run out the clock (his singular goal) and delay the trial until after the election.

Smith asked the Court to decide this issue in December and they punted. Pathetic.

Seems weird. We share a state as some of you know. Notre Dame plays everyone else in the region at least occasionally even with the ACC schedule. Purdue, MSU, Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin.

Why don't we ever play Notre Dame? They scared? We scared?

If you have yet to cast your BOT vote, you have until the end of June.

Encourage you to read the candidate statements, most are rather telling of what their focus is.

If you ar a DEI supporter there are a couple of candidates with a heavy focus.

If you are focused on maintaining/improving IU's status as the flagship/premier academic university in the state; there are a couple of candidates with heavy focus.

Regardless...vote.
