I think I will follow suit. As of now I am demanding compensation for any posts I make.

One of my friends, Duwyce Wilson, won the state championship at 22'4... I thought. I'll check. 

Haven’t heard that name in awhile. I remember when he was one of Bill Lynch’s higher profile recruits.

Might want to put a trigger warning on that. @5fouls tends to have a PTSD-type reaction to women wielding large hammers.

Saw the transfer from South Dakota St. eliminated UK because he didn't get the NIL deal he wanted and didn't get the role he wanted in the offense.  These players are now starting to be divas like pro athletes.

Most were anyway. Now they’re just getting comparable pay.

In my mind, he was the best football player in IU history.  Great, great football player.

And should have a damn Heisman.

Welcome to modern “journalism”. Ernie Pyle and Ed Murrow are doing impressions of F5 tornados in their graves.

Smith Creek is the distillery in the outlet mall, but you are not far off. The place I believe you are thinking of is Junction 35. It’s in the outlet mall and a nicer restaurant. First time I went there I was drunk off of moonshine at Smith Creek with NO food in my system. Very smart to go sample moonshine on an empty stomach.

Pork chop in a glass, my friend. 🤣

We live in Robinson, IL which is definitely not far from Lawrenceville or Vincennes. 

Been there many times. Can remember getting bags full of the quality rejects from the Heath plant.

Looks like the deal is done for a 33rd entry. I miss the old days when qualifying was a big deal. You think Scott is bad with 80’s college hoop worship, you should see me with my old school Indy love. 

Pole Day used to be the 2nd largest auto race in the world.

Got an email today announcing that the company I work for is going to be the official jersey sponsor for the Blues in the 2022-23 season. They have created 3 commercials to introduce this and one of them will air 4 times on the Blues’ broadcast tomorrow night 

It’s interesting how sponsorships like this have shifted so far into B2B vs Consumer.

I'm glad Coach Woodson threw the strike even if it was a low sinker.  No need to throw low punches at Coach Matta(not that you were but it's so low hanging fruit). I wish him very well and good health.  

Hey…the man is in his 60s with bad knees, and he still was able to get it from the mound over the plate without a bounce. That ain’t half bad.

Anybody mention that Jalen Blackmon has entered the portal?

Is he more comparable to James or Vijay?

What about the time he should have gotten a tech during a game vs. us?  After hitting a huge go ahead shot he taunted the crowd by grabbing is “satchel”! What an A$$!🤬

To be fair, if Will Sheehey would have done that at Mackey, we’d have all loved it.

Damn skippy it is.  AH scared Teflon John so much that after he wiped the deification off of his Gucci loafers, he hasn't been back for 11 years.

I assume you graduated with 95% of your Kindergarten class, as well? 

I'd say more like 75%, if they all would have stayed in. 

My school district's logistics were designed by someone during a bad acid flashback.  The county was split into two districts, and this is a county of 15,000 people.  Lunacy to begin with.   In my district at the time, there were 3 physical locations that had kindergarten: we'll call them A, B, and C.  School C was actually logical: K-4, either 1 or 2 classes per grade.  If you went to school B, it also had K-4, 1-2 classes per grade...but we'll be coming back to this one.  School A housed 2 kindergarten classes.  All 3 schools then combined when we hit 5th & 6th grade, which was housed in school A.  7th-8th was housed in School B.  And then all in one high school....which was a block and a half away from School A.

The grade above me was like that lol 

I think like 10 of those dudes have done time in Federal Prison. Good group of dudes. 😝 ... one was on Jerry Springer. Lord, I wish I had that episode saved .

Oh half of my class would have been good Springer guests, let alone the dropouts. I know at least two are doing time for meth manufacturing. 
 

And people wonder why I skipped the 10 and 20 year reunions. Why bother? It’s South Bumf**k, IL. I could find 75% of them within an hour if I wanted.

The NIL is going to be the duct tape of college athletics: it’ll fix anything!

My class was abnormally small at 58. Highest dropout rate in history. 
 

I had a design for a class t-shirt that resembled a war memorial with “the survivors” on it that got shot down by the school. Humorless bastards. 🤣

I will no longer refer to my failed marriages as 'divorces'.  They were simply me entering the transfer portal.

More like something repeatedly entering their “portals”.

At least 12x here. It was rare to see a graduating class over 100.

If not for one little roller, that would have arguably been the greatest pitching performance in MLB history. 

I'd never seen a game before or since where every batter in the lineup was overmatched...and that was a pretty good lineup...

A really good lineup: Bagwell, Biggio, Derek Bell, Moises Alou, Carl Everett…

4 of those guys hit .300 that year, and Everett just missed at .296.
