But I was told… Never mind.
A double-double from Braden Smith in his first career NBA start.

Dude did exactly what I wanted to see. Great game, DJ!
Really want to see Daniel Jacobsen assert himself on offense early.

Proud of these dudes. They showed a ton of grit and tenacity. This team is missing two things: experience and confidence. Once they find those two things, watch out. Boiler up! 🚂

Really surprised that we haven’t seen Raleigh Burgess yet. Thought we could really use his size tonight.

Loved the first half from the Boilers. These guys are competitors. Never once backed down when Gonzaga was attempting to make a run.

Ready to watch @BoilerBall tonight. This will be a tough test for the young Boilers. I said awhile back that this team will win some games they shouldn’t and lose some games they shouldn’t. Let’s get that dub, fellas! 🚂

It’s ALWAYS the hood rats from Indy. Keep them out of Bloomington.
NEW INFORMATION: Bloomington Police say this morning's shooting victims include 4 males and 3 females ranging in age from 17-27. None of the shooting victims are IU students. Six are from Indianapolis and 1 person is from Greenwood. They all told police they went to Bloomington to celebrate Halloween. Police also told us one of the shooting victims was in possession of an “AK-47 pistol.” The male subject taken into custody, running from police is an 18-year-old from Indianapolis. He is in jail facing charges of resisting law enforcement and unlawful possession of a firearm, an AR-15 style handgun. He also has a pending felony weapons charge pending in Hendricks County. I am working to confirm his name and provide more on his criminal history.

Really wanted this kid at Purdue. Going to be interesting watching his development.
Meet Villanova’s new star Luigi Suigo, a 7-3 center from Italy, prepared to dominate college basketball on his way to the League. Read more about his overseas journey: slam.ly/luigi-story

UConn did a great job of completely shutting down Purdues’ big men in the first half. Need to see some toughness and fire from this group going forward.

Love the Caron Butler reference by the commentators. That was the first ever recruiting heartbreak teenage Mike experienced. Thought for sure Butler was coming to Purdue. Anyone else remember that?!

If you’re trying to watch the Purdue vs UConn game and don’t want to pay for “UConn+” The game is on YouTube. No need to pay.

Absolutely. My wife’s friend did this a year ago. Little f*cker ate two of my daughters dolls, shit on our area rug, pissed on the kitchen floor and then escaped out the back door and ran loose around my neighborhood for 30 minutes. They asked me to help, I said “Nope.” 🤷‍♂️ They have been banned from my house ever since.
Is it rude to bring your dog to someone's house without asking first?

Imagine a pilgrim getting drunk in the 1630’s with his thesaurus by his side and writing a strongly worded letter to the woman that broke his heart. That’s what this post was.
Since my departure from the televised grand spectacle, I have been thoroughly engulfed in an absolute maelstrom of relentless activity. Our peregrinations have ferried us across a multitude of exotic, ultramontane realms, wherein we experienced the profound jubilation of reconvening with long-estranged compatriots. Concurrently, I have surrendered my intellect to the voracious consumption of dense, hermetic tomes, immersing myself in the labyrinthine intricacies of highly recondite and intellectually stimulating subject matters. In a plurality of dimensions, my current state of existential industriousness vastly eclipses any prior epoch of my life. It’s been really cool.

Hate this for college basketball.
NEWS: Kansas has officially signed Purdue transfer Trey Kaufman-Renn, the program announced. The 24-year-old forward, who was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaged 14.2 PTS and 8.3 REB last season and is currently eligible for a sixth year through a court injunction.
