    NCAA March Madness 2024

    Anyone interested in discussing? UConn repeat? Can Purdue undo what happened last year? Auburn playing as good as anyone right now. Who's the 12-5 upset? Maybe the funniest tidbit about the tournament is Long Beach State. They let their coach know he was going to be fired after the season, only...

    December 7, 1941

    It's been 82 years since that horrific event. Even though FDR said it was "a date which will live in infamy", the memory becomes a little more distant each year as those who either fought in WWII or worked to support the war effort pass away. There's only a handful of heros left that were at...

    NCAA Tournament Talk

    Who you got? #1 seeds Alabama, Kansas, Houston and Purdue I was surprised to see Kansas get a #1 after getting shellacked by Texas, but the committee must think Self is worth 20 points. Texas is going to be dangerous IMO.

    Rockne to IU? Interesting background story on Rockne

    Looks like some at Indiana wanted Rockne, but the new coach Childs didn't. What a mistake. What if … Knute Rockne had ended up on the Indiana sidelines? Clarence Childs had been a track and field star at Yale and was named to the 1912 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team that would compete in...

    Interesting article on a possible trend developing in CFB? Redshirt rule being utilized in a manner not expected? How does a kid tell the coach he doesn't want to play and wants to redshirt right before kickoff? Does the kid have the right to do that if the coach wants to play them? Growing...

    DB Cooper - Have the found the famous high-jacker?

    Almost made it to Mexico (San Diego). Came across this article (link below) in today's Indystar. I've always been fascinated by this case. For those of you who are not aware, outside of 911, this is probably the biggest high-jacking story in US history. The FBI has closed this case, which is...

    McDonalds Monopoly Games Fixed

    This is an amazing story. I really don't remember this, but it was probably because it broke the day before 911 and got buried. Otherwise it may have been the leading story for several days. It's a lengthy read, but well worth it...
