gonzoron Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Not a meme, but what the heck is going on in Seymour @Impartial_Observer? "Sometimes you just don't ask questions 🤔 This modern art masterpiece 🎨 was spotted during a security check at Seymour Middle School by Officer Schapson. What should we name it??" 1

One of those meth heads from Prentice Addition behind the MS would be my guess. I can't get past the Dandelions, geez! I know the school system pays someone a pretty nice contract to spray the grounds. Methsketball? 2

I dreamed about basketball last night. Kids couldn't play unless the parents had paid their property taxes. I'm supposed to be headed to Milwaukee for a tournament right now, but planning a virtual trip instead. It was the "Windy City Classic". In Milwaukee. Doesn't make sense.
Muda69 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 You are not a true Hoosier if you dislike basketball. Just a humble opinion. In fact most of this dislike for our historic state sport is probably just some sort of inferiority complex. 1

Ya got me, I have long suffered from being introverted, shy, lacking confidence, and being the last kid picked when teams were chosen, I blame my parents for not being able to afford for me to be in Boy Scouts. 2 1

Thank you for your honesty. And the Lloyd E. Scott Gymnasium is a fantastic, historical venue. I have only been there once, but it is truly one of Indiana's basketball palaces. You and other Seymour residents should be proud of it. 1 hour ago, gonzoron said: That's too bad. You could have met Muda and his buddy Fada when you were there at Camp Granada. Never been to a Camp Granada. But have been to several other scout camps throughout the midwest. Some were very nice, some not so much. 1

My parents may have been poor, but they always taught us to be honest. I have been there more than once, and words can not describe my profound pride in a building where I was never chosen for teams in PE. 1
Impartial_Observer Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 FYI I just watched the video and there is one glaring error, the first season was in fact the 70-71 season. The 69-70 25-1 team played at Shields Gym. The team featured two Indiana All Stars, another player who would go on to get beaten nightly by The Harlem Globetrotters as a member of the Washington Generals, and another player who go on to be a US congressman. Also of note, Bud Shippee retired at the end of this season. He used to do color when his dad Bob was doing play by play. I’ve listened to Bud since I was a little kid on the radio, kind of the end of an era. I run into Bud quite often at the post office in the morning, always enjoy talking to him, he talked a lot this winter about going here or there for the last time. Thru the Damon Bailey years, smaller schools would sometimes rent the gym if Seymour wasn’t playing to get bigger gates. Seymour did quite well financially during the Bailey years. The building has a fair amount of history, given it’s relatively short life when compared to some of the other iconic gyms in the state. With all the bleachers rolled back, you can have 6 full court basketball games going on simultaneously and another two with about 75’ courts. All but 2 of the games would be on hardwood. 1
