Brunk eager to make memories

I refer to my Irish heritage. But you apparently know everything already. How long have you followed IU? I was rooting for IU basketball when George McGinnis played. I do like Notre Dame football. Do I worship them? No. I only worship God!! I never try to argue on posts but I despise know-it-alls who don't know facts.

I hope you have a really fun basketball experience next year. I also hope you are mired in misery from September to November. If ND goes 1-11 in football, they've won too many games to suit me.;)

Please ,let me state this very slowly. I like ND football but I'm not beholden to them. I watched them since I was five.I'm 64. I've watched IU since Lou Watson days. Am I being attacked here because I follow IU? i HAVEN'T SAID ONE THING DEROGATORY ABOUT OLD COUGAR 77 or anyone else. I don't understand a few of you. Your lives must be filled with a lot of judgements.Let's just discuss IU basketball and leave it at that. Pleassssssssssssssssse!!!!!

No offense intended ( hence, the emoji). Just busting your chops. My own brother is a reversible jacket guy (he didn't go to IU like I did). I didn't come to loathe everything Notre Dame until I became an adult and lived in a predominantly Catholic community. I encountered some really obnoxious Notre Dame football fans, some of whom were also obnoxious IU basketball fans.

My primary problem with Notre Dame is the way they have openly manipulated conference affiliations over the years in order to have their cake and eat it too. They played (as in used) both the MCC and Big East for years to get access to automatic NCAA bids for minor sports and women's sports while hoarding all of their football stash for themselves. They also didn't want in for men's basketball until their program went through its own struggles. They still do it to an extent by refusing to play a full ACC football schedule.

Try not to be too judgmental about posters here who are anti-ND. It's tough for many of us who are loyal to IU in EVERY sport to deal with some of the fools who squawk the loudest about wanting a great basketball team but who openly proclaim no interest in IU football. Some even ridicule and mock the football program. IMO, those who do that have no right to claim fandom in any form. If a person can support both IU and ND in both sports as a matter of interest in both being in-state programs, I have no problem with that person.

I don't believe I have ever met a "reversible jacket". I hear they exist, but never met one.

They play in the Big Ten for ice hockey, and Compton Family Ice Arena is a beautiful facility. Really wish IU would get into D1 ice hockey. Sorry for the O/T.

They are all over the Indy area. Met and know several of them.

Now the state of Ohio makes a nice “directional jacket fan” as does the state of Michigan.

These are all basically small tech school grads and some MAC folk from Kent State or Central Michigan who suddenly become the biggest Ohio State or Michigan supporter each September. And it also comes with a manufacturer’s guarantee to also become a member of the “lifetime asshole club” where you can buy as much Walmart team gear and act like the biggest fan without really having anything to do with the university.

Interesting, I have met hundreds of non-grad fans over the years (ball state, Butler, Wabash, DePauw, no college, etc) but never this IU BB ND FB combo I hear described. At least that I knew of.
 
Careful, arcb will run sobbing back to GBI with anything you say here. It is the sum total of his identity.
Oh come on now, CSense, Jimbo is pretty out-there with his postings. He came real close to bringing me to tears when he said he didn't like my Boilermakers. I am not sure I can take the rejections!

By the way, I haven't seen anyone "sobbing" over on GBI, but I guess tears are in the eyes of the beholder.

You all have a great spring, and we will reconvene this fall for more fun!

This was a thread about Joey Brunk. The GBI poster responded with an ignorant comment. Shame that the thread turned to garbage with his/her arrival.

Still pretty objective. What I posted was just TIC. Perhaps a poor attempt to be humorous. I have no issues with Jimbo. He is welcome to his opinions and maybe somewhat justified by recent events. I do think his bitterness is a little over the top, but there are some guys just as bitter on the other side of the rivalry too.

:cool:
 
Was it anything like the rumors you spread about Ryan Cline and his parents, both here as Courtsense and at GBI as Love4beer? Or did you forget our mods exposed you? We didn’t!

Love4beer Sucks!

Uh, what did I say about RC and fam that wasn't printed in the paper? I never repeated a rumor like your troll buddy did.

I'll wait.
