So you’re under the impression that you can’t act like an adult and also root for IU? That will hopefully change as you mature.
Justin Smith is now a Razorback!

I just quoted what you posted. You said:
"IU and Purdue are both wonderful schools and great for the state. They actually complement each other very well. That said I’ll never root for their sports teams in anything no matter who they’re playing."
Seems pretty clear to me.
I’ll never root for Purdue. But I’m mature enough to say that they’re a great school and I have a lot of friends and family who went there and/or are fans of their sports teams. Grow up.
You can’t see reality because you’re being blinded by the crimson glasses. Your loss.
Not what you said in your post. You clearly stated that you would not root for either school.
If that's not what you meant, you may want to stay after school with your 7th grade Language Arts teacher and work on your syntax...kiddo.
The way I used their could actually mean either interpretation. Your arrogance is unfounded. Try again.
Go back and ask your 7th grade language arts teacher what she thinks about ambiguous sentence structure, kiddo.
Then get back to us.
You honestly don’t know that a word can have multiple meanings? I would’ve thought that would be taught before 7th grade.
Kiddo, you’re really slipping with your trolling efforts.
To be clear, you’re means YOU ARE. Don’t want you to be confused since you obviously struggle with sentence construction.
We aren't talking about words, kiddo. We are talking about sentence structure. Good writers know how to avoid ambiguity. For someone who lives for posting on this board, you sure aren't very good at it.
I felt fpeaugh was responding to my post where I said I respect PU but will never cheer for there teams . I took it that he was agreeing with me. I know that some of you have issues with each other,but that’s not the way I took it . Just my view , but I really don’t have a dog in that fight.
We don't agree on his ability or talent. We do agree that Race and Jerome have potential.
Losing a Senior who started the last two years is a big deal to me. I think he will be missed.
Go Hoosiers!
And I suspect, ultimately, the feedback JS received from the NBA...he wants to go an have that role to boost his chances to play at the pro level. I hope he succeeds...but I haven't seen it from him.
His shot mechanics vary on every single stroke. He fades left, right or back on every jumper. It's simply not repeatable. (IMHO). I hope he sorts it out...
When is the new big news player showing up as you predicted? Or is this just another prediction gone sour for you?
right. smith was penciled in for 30 plus per game. Now, it’s possible that IU ends up being better, but what would that say about Miller? Either miller knows what he’s doing and we will miss Smith, or the average poster on here is smarter than our head coach,
either way, it does help us in the long run as now our Coach is forced to use those minutes and develop someone else.
Nope. Nobody missed that. It had been speculated about for a week or so on several sites. No inside info.
When is this new player coming you bragged about?
Smith is gone. Time to focus on the future and quit peeing on other posters' shoes.
Justin announcing for the draft for a 2nd time should have been the writing on the wall for anyone paying attention. There had been strong speculation (which turned out to be true) that he had played his last game at Indiana.
I would argue against that and I live there and work there, and as the University is still a beautiful campus, Bloomington itself is far from the nice college town it was 30 years ago. It's congested and the city and University's policies regarding parking make it basically not worthwhile to experience much of what there is to do. Affordable housing is non-existent, construction of unaffordable housing continues like they're building the Winchester house, catering to foreign and East Coast non-resident $$$. The homeless problem is out of control, if you smoke and go out for dinner downtown, plan on bringing a bunch of $1's and an extra pack of cigarettes to dispense to the homeless. Then there are these f'n scooters left everywhere because the city can't control use of them. Downtown is just not a pleasant experience anymore. There are not many good restaurants at all left, maybe 2 or 3 downtown that are decent, but there is no fine dining period. Uptown and the Farm and Lenny's are not "great" restaurants ... they're OK, but the lack of city planning and congestion as far as traffic and parking have basically turned me off to the stress of going out for an OK meal.
I think if there is any silver lining in this pandemic, it might be that Btown gets purged of a bunch of shit restaurants and businesses and returns affordable housing that was gobbled up to profiteer for rental purposes for the last 30 years.
One of the reasons I moved is the lack of opportunities for me. If you are ok with 50k a year jobs then stay. Housing is very expensive. The food in the area is still great but like you said hard to walk past the homeless.
You probably moved because your parents moved and 14 year olds can’t live on their own.
With the civil unrest on this board recently it may be time to call out the national guard. Couldn't resist.
Everyone stay safe.
Go Hoosiers!
Everyone stay safe.
Go Hoosiers!
You really are a troll. I moved because my wife had (at the time) terminal illness. She beat the odds but the medical bills got to be to much. ( off 5 months caring for her with 2 young children) I had to travel for work and finally got a great opportunity in Kentucky that still facilitated me living in Indiana. So no I’m not 14. Haven’t lived in my parents house In 30 plus years. If you want to make a joke about people at least make it good.
Yep, that about sums it up. I'm just trying to ride out the end of my career there and I make a far better salary than that, but nothing close to Indy equivalent. It's a different town now, sort of Indy, but with worse traffic, less pay, and less affordable, there's very little left of the small town with the good bball team I used to love
I suppose if you already live in an area close to downtown, which would probably be unaffordable to most now and could walk there, it could be vastly more fun. What I see when we do venture out, is a lot of homeless, almost makes you feel guilty for eating out, and hell no, I'm not going to anytime soon or speaking of the present, but I can only imagine its become worse and more dangerous since last year.
I'd add to that, it just seems the city has their priorities ass backward, like yeah, we need a new convention center and parking garage to attract more downtown business to put our homeless problem on full display. Downtown has lost it's charm and even going to the frickin Farmer's Market means dealing with either neo-Nazi's or protests over them, it's just not that appealing. The city needs to do a much better job, they've basically transformed it to Carmel and sold out

Congrats to you and your wife. I lost my wife early and raised my children from second grade forward. I backed my career down to get off the road to be a dad. Nobody can understand those types of decisions unless they have lived them.
Good luck to you and Go Hoosiers!
They cleaned up downtown from the homeless last year. Have you been down town in 2020? Hell even last fall? btown gave a bunch of homeless people apts on the south side. They now congregate by the main post office on walnut. Seminal park maybe.
Thank you. It’s tough. Sorry for your loss. You are so right. When those kinds of things happen, nobody really understands the drive it takes to keep it together. Thank god He gifted me with the switch to just turn it on.
It absolutely is a win if any of the rest of the team can fill the void at SF and add more offense, and rebound, and not force low percentage shots. Plus if his attitude was not All- In at IU, then I am happy he moved on for Team Chemistry.
Hopefully they're not on our schedule.... I have these images of a career night for him against the Hoosiers..
Many on here also thought it was a win when Yogi graduated and we got “pass first” PG Josh Newkirk. Point guards who score were deemed bad and we had this shiny new toy named Josh Newkirk coming in. These declarations happen every single offseason.
Lol . . . bullshit.
Posts go back to 2015, remember? So . . . seeing Yogi graduated in 2016, I'm sure you be linking to these said posts, correct?
Can't wait for this . . .
