They'll probably never be the standard but I like them. Maybe Lane likes them a little bit too since we've worn them twice now.
Really he reminded me of Bruno Mars in that first pic
Hang on let me check with Mr. Nagata

Man I do miss seeing us play Auburn every year.

Man sorry to hear. Remember watching him play during my college years. He was a good one. RIP

Looks like he's at the top of the MLB prospect list right now.

Indiana ultimately won the game 77-76 on a last-second shot by Bill Laimbeer.


Wait. What?


Right - Bill Laimbeer played for Notre Dame in the 70s.

Nikita Wilson just missed a potential game winner vs. the Hoosiers. Would've sent the Tigers to the Final Four in the Dome.
I read it years ago, and recall being thrown off by the ending. It's one of those I should reread at some point. I seem to recall it had long chapters for a short book.

Toni Morrison worked race into lots of her writing. You can probably Google her political views pretty readily. Great writer, but she's one who thought America was going back to Jim Crow after 2016 - you can probably find the old New Yorker essay on line.
Was trying to read a little every day, though it turned into several times a month. Working my way through Sylvia Plath's poems. Also read from a little book of Yeats poetry some nights, to keep a NY resolution going of reading some kind of prose/poetry every day.

Wow, had him for a teacher too. I remember him flinging in a half court shot in the BHS gym like it was no big deal.
0.92 ppg D is pretty solid.

Squeaker vs. Barners saved their season.
I mean we already had the Cookie Man. 1981 Final Four team.
Yep much much older than when I saw them at the Centroplex in 1981, but we all are :lol:

I kind of think opposite of OP. Thought he did not have the best voice but ended up being a great vocalist with his singing style matched to the VH sound.

I've come to think of him as kind of a crooner, Tony Bennett style rock singer. Which reminds me, didn't DLR say he'd like to be the next Sinatra of Vegas? I'm sure he'll try - Frank made it to 82!
In the Dome! Wanted to see the Tigers win a natty in person at least once in my lifetime.
:geauxtigers:
Cool stuff - Wow, "College Football at a Crossroads" in 1981!
Cool stuff. Played hoops with him & his brother in the old Gym Armory in the 80s. Needless to say Joey was tough to move out of position. ??

Working through Crime & Punishment and The Iliad.
Just finished Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Hmmm Hoosiers are legit. But their offense wouldn’t have kept up with the 2019 Tigers.
Nah I think it's just a select few high profile A-holes in recent years. Finebaum, Rece, Portnoy e.g.
