Indiana 32-24-1?! A tie?

Midweek game vs Ball St @ Ball St. Eventually called due to darkness (Ball St doesn’t have lights).

 

[vols 30]

His teams were not good and he was a volume shooter.

He averaged 44 a game on a very efficient 43% from the field without the 3 point line. Dished out 5 assists a game too. The fact he did this with the other team focusing on him is incredible.

May 27, 1897

Greatest book I've ever read!



According to the Daily News of London, the first copies of the classic vampire novel Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker, go on sell on May 27, 1897.

A childhood invalid, Stoker grew up to become a football (soccer) star at Trinity College, Dublin. After graduation, he got a job in civil service at Dublin Castle, where he worked for the next 10 years while writing drama reviews for the Dublin Mail on the side. In this way, Stoker met the well-respected actor Sir Henry Irving, who hired him as his manager. Stoker stayed in the post for most of the next three decades, writing Irving’s voluminous correspondence for him and accompanying him on tours in the United States. Over the years, Stoker began writing a number of horror stories for magazines, and in 1890 he published his first novel, The Snake’s Pass.

Stoker would go on to publish 17 novels in all, but it was his 1897 novel Dracula that eventually earned him literary fame and became known as a masterpiece of Victorian-era Gothic literature. Written in the form of diaries and journals of its main characters, Dracula is the story of a vampire who makes his way from Transylvania—a region of Eastern Europe now in Romania—to Yorkshire, England, and preys on innocents there to get the blood he needs to live. Stoker had originally named the vampire “Count Wampyr.” He found the name Dracula in a book on Wallachia and Moldavia written by retired diplomat William Wilkinson, which he borrowed from a Yorkshire public library during his family’s vacations there.

I haven't read Dracula yet, but I've been to Sighisoara (in Transylvania), Romania. The Saxon early-medieval fortified old town in still there. It was home to Vlad III (known as "Vlad the Impaler") ("Vlad Drăculea" in Romanian), the inspiration for the fictional vampire Count Dracula.

Do you put salt on your watermelon?

Of course watermelon is delicious with salt

Since I was talking about Stark, here's another great play by Cal (and the Stache) from the tournament. And Corbin in a classic Corbin pose.

Cal Stark showed the correct way to make that play. Stepped to the first base side of the base then caught the ball and made the play.

Compared to the lsu catcher who caused a balk and almost lost his team the ball game.

After reading Dracula in high school, I decided to do a re-search paper on "Vlad the Impaler"

Extremely chaotic life............

I am all for this! I was pissed when the 1 seed in the West was not awarded to us in basketball this year (stolen from us imo), when it would have been our first. I love the idea of going in as the 1 seed and kicking @ss and taking names! I don't believe in curses. Or, if one prefers: we eat curses for breakfast, bishes. Villains. The SEC is on warning.

I do understand that there is such a thing as "having a target on your back." But we've advanced to the place in football, basketball, and baseball where we always already have a target on our backs. I take the excess worry about the so-called "curse" as a novel way that BVS presents in baseball after we missed the CWS in 2022. Sh!t happens. Never give in, never back down. GBO!

If I have my numbers right, Doc, we need 5 consecutive wins to make the CWS and 5 additional consecutive wins to win the CWS. That on top of our recent 4 consecutive wins to win the SEC Tournament. All we need is...

14-0 !!!

I like it!
All in

️ 14-0

Don't waste good salt. Watermelon is nasty irregardless of salt or no salt.

Option C.

No watermelon. It sux.

Dang it. I hate it when I agree with the commie.

EDIT: So apparently, the commie does like watermelon. Now it is the rest of y'all that are sided with tyranny. I'll bet @Weezer loves watermelon too. Y'all got some real soul searching to do.

Yeah, our newest addition has had a lot of unfortunate circumstances. His folks split when he was about 3 or 4, lived with his mom who had drug issues (lost him due to driving high with him in the car), and his dad is always traveling due to his job in construction (and has had his own issues, though not as bad as the mom). His grandparents took him in when he was 5. The grandmother passed from cancer in 2020 and his grandfather passed from cancer as well last year. His life has been nothing but instability in one way or the other and he was mostly just shut down when he started living with us. I'm hoping we've gotten him in time to give him the stability he needs so he's not mad at the world for his circumstances once the teenage angst hits.

Edit: Just to add...I really tried hard to find some sort of hobby he wanted to try out and we landed on him playing the drums. Something just appealed to him when I suggested it...maybe being able to beat on something. We've been paying for lessons every week and he's completely addicted to his drums...he even participated in a drum off in front of others after only playing for five months, which was a surprise since he was always so reserved. Thank God we have a basement since they're always loud (my son and I can turn down our guitar amps...no volume knob on the drums). I think having something like that gave him an outlet he really needed and it gives him a big sense of pride and accomplishment. If your nephew doesn't have a good hobby, then finding him one might help him a lot.

One of my sons is teaching my nephew to play guitar. He seems to be picking it up rather quickly, but he has no interest in learning to read music or spend time drilling the basics.

She can adopt me if she puts some diddly dang clothes on.

UK/Duke 1B?

Greatest game I've ever watched, no matter the sport.

Laettner was perfect that night...10 for 10 from the field, 10 for 10 from the line, not to mention the dagger. Unbelievable college basketball player...the best these two eyes have ever seen.

More power to Mark Davis. I'm sure there will be a DNA test .
