Tough one for VeeKay. Dixie and Palou looking stout early. 

I once dreamed that I was 3” tall and trapped in a pinball machine

Herta tubbed his primary during Carb Day today. Having watched him, I bet he comes out as aggressive as ever on Sunday in the backup and doesn’t let this phase him. 

Of course he will. He’s 22. Don’t you remember when you were that age and indestructible? 🤣

Edit: I hope he does. If Colton wins, he’d set the record for the youngest 500 winner, and this will be his last chance to do it. 

Dear Hockey Gods,

After last nights steel toed boot to the twig-n-berries, I hope our debt for 2019 is paid in full. 

Sincerely, 

The St Louis Blues

And in the 70s….well it depended on the substance of the day. Some days may have been tye-dye. 🤣

Don’t know why most are hung up on the home and home aspect

Because a “neutral” site game in Indianapolis is still a platform for Teflon John to peddle his snake oil to recruits. Get the game in BTown….yeah, that ain’t going to happen.

Totally agree James

In other, more shocking news, the sky is blue. More at 11.  

Draw a straight line between BTown and Lexington and you’d wind up approximately in Madison, IN. Given that town’s history of boat racing on the Ohio, here’s what we’re going to do. (Hold my beer)

We’re going to get a couple of barges, constrict a court and play the game in the middle of the damn river. One year we can have it slightly closer to Indiana, next year we can have it slightly closer to Kentucky. 
 

Two years of this and Teflon John will be begging to come back to SSAH, because god knows what a good dose of Ohio River water will do to those Ferragamo loafers. May want to put on socks Johnny Boy.

'm pretty much there as well, although I can't imagine that smoking weed during the season would be considered a performance enhancing drug.

As Robin Williams (RIP) once said in regards to Olympic snowborders testing positive for weed:

“Marijuana enhances many things: colors, tastes, sensations…but it does not make you f*****g empowered. When you’re stoned, you’re lucky if you can find your own damn feet.”

The "neutral" site could be in Ohio (Cincinnati or Columbus) or Chicago. The "IU" concern was that a marquee game in Bankers Life Fieldhouse was a recruiting showcase for UK in our home state. Fine, move the neutral to Ohio/Illinois and have both schools showcase in that state. 

Cincy is relatively easy to get to from either campus. The issue is that there’s only one arena that’s comparable in size to SSAH or coRuppt Arena, and it’s the aging Heritage Bank Arena (FKA Riverfront Coliseum). It’s a decent enough arena for minor league hockey and concerts/events, but it’s not exactly state of the art. UC’s Fifth Third Arena and XU’s Cintas Center are newer but significantly smaller (12K and 10K capacity).

I’m going to do Scott Dixon a favor and not pick him to win this year. I’ve been convinced he would run away with it the last two years. It’s hard to believe he only has one Baby Borg. 

Here’s an interesting fact: Scott Dixon and Mario Andretti have as many 500 wins as Buddy Lazier and Eddie Cheever. 
 

Almost like dividing by zero, isn’t it?

Edit: that said, he’s starting in the right spot. More wins have come from the pole (21) than any other position.

So Tim Priller is your favorite player?

If he and Bobby Capobianco did a podcast together, they could call it Thriller and the Vaniller Goriller

If “neutral” means Bankers Life or the Yum! Center….meh…ok fine. I’d rather have them on campus, but those are about as non-neutral as neutral sites get.

Pity and empathy are two words for guys like DD.

Oh I can think of a few more, but Blue or HoosierFaithful would yell at me if I used them. 

Well….that’s encouraging, and going back home for Game 6. 

Blues are going to need a 3 game miracle, and it'll have to start tonight.

Why not a 5th year?

Could he break IU or even Big Ten records?

 

Wouldn’t expect him to. If a player winds up with an undergrad degree, I’ll never fault them for leaving. I equate that to what 95% of other undergrad students would do: go look for a job. If that job happens to be professional basketball, so be it. 
 

That’s one thing I don’t hold against Vic. The kid graduated in 3 years. I don’t blame him for leaving when he did. Didn’t have much more to do, on or off court.

In the interview with Hoosier Hysterics, though, TJD was very complimentary of Phinisee and it's pretty obvious he respects Rob. 

There was also the time last year where someone on Twitter (of course) said that  Lander didn’t deserve to be a 5* or a D1 player or something and TJD replied with something along the lines of “You put on the uniform and do better”. So there was at least some degree of respect between TJD and Lander at some point.

TJD

But I respect and admire Juwan Morgan. That guy was tough as nails and worked his way into being a really good player, in tough situations. High character guy for sure!

Worked his way from a 3 star recruit into the League as well

Kadri knocked out Binnington who won’t return this series. What a scumbag. 

He’s now down there with Marchand, which is about as big an insult as I can give.
