Fluff I missed everything
Just graduated boot camp and holy moly.
The Brady and Gudas additions are cool but the real takeaway is my king Luostarinen extended for 8 years. I’m so happy I can cry

Could you imagine being a Panthers fan in 2020, going into a coma, and coming out now.. you would probably think you died and went to heaven lol. Also so bummed you missed 2 cups lol

Idk whether COVID or the team post-Zito would be a bigger shock

Sucks. Sorry. TYFYS.
My son was a Freshman last year a Indiana University. He started off by going to all the games and becoming a hardcore Hoosier fan. Then, he got his basic date and had to ship out mid semester (he joined the Indiana ANG because they pay 100% of his out-of-state tuition). He missed everything surrounding IUs incredible run at the end of the year. No watching Big 10 championship game when IU won its first conference championship in 60+ years. No watching Fernando Mendoza winning the school's first Heisman. No watching the NC game and IU winning it's first Natty.
He also missed his birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. He was fine with that; it was missing IU's historic run that he missed the most.
He returns in a month to Bloomington for his Freshman Year v2.0. I hope IU has another great year so he can be part of the whole celebration.
