Reminds me of the story of Fordham football. Vince Lombardi's Senior season (the time of the 7 blocks of granite on the offensive line), they were playing for a spot in the Rose Bowl. They ended up losing the game....another interesting story.....But at that point, University leaders decided to de emphasize football. They never did recover from that decision. This is all detailed in a biography about Lombardi titled "When Pride Still Mattered". It is still one of the best football books I have read.

Russ and myself do not have smart phones.😛 Ted only has a landline.😄 So we might need some help.

It will be a good one. Not sure how dynamic HH will be with their skilled kids. FB will be a really good player. The question will be can they generate enough offense to beat good teams?

The ONLY owner (former) I can think of that looks like their mascot.

Bob is a plethora of AWESOME knowledge and old. 🤣 Thanks for the great insight as always Bob. I want to know the stuff you have forgotten. LOL. Let's roll boys. Me, @Bobref, @southend, @Irishman, and KAJ.

He doesn't work in education--I don't know if any of his staff will be in the building

I was at the game in Dayton, when Kentucky beat Indiana, and one armed Scott May.

I loved that team ... but the best NCAA team ever was Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul Jabbar) and any 4 other guys you could find on the street.

I am not much of a basketball fan. I haven’t watched a college or pro game this season. But I confess to feeling glad that Baylor beat Gonzaga last night, just because it keeps the IU 1975-76 squad as the last team to go unbeaten. I was in law school in Bloomington during that team’s run. Saw every one of their home games. That was a magical time in Bloomington. What a lot of people don’t know is that the 1974-75 team was better than the squad that went undefeated the next season. They swept through their Big 10 schedule with an average 23 pt. margin of victory. But Scott May, IU’s leading scorer, rebounder, and the eventual 1976 Player of the Year, broke his arm in the last game against Purdue, and was limited to playing 7 minutes in a 92-90 loss to a powerhouse Kentucky team in the Regional. The Hoosiers landed 4 of the 5 spots on the All Big Ten first team that year: May, Quinn Buckner, Steve Green, and Kent Benson. Although Steve Green graduated, John Laskowski, the outstanding sixth man on the 74-75 team, moved right into Green’s spot the next season, and they ran the table. Just a great, great team. They were such a joy to watch.

The IHSAA needs to hurry up and release the new enrollment figures. Don’t they know I have some sensible sectional alignment predictions to get wrong?
