Goodbye RCA Dome



Since 1984, the RCA Dome has been the home of the Indianapolis Colts, but of course before rapid commercialization of naming arenas, it was known as the Hoosier Dome. The Dome while being the smallest Pro Football stadium in the NFL, was also one of the loudest there was out there.





Being a season ticket holder along with Floyd Hustle, by god I am going to miss this place. Not the outdated fixtures and the small hallways, but the loud ambiance that it had. The sight lines were great, and while we were stuck the last three years in Section 317, way up in the top. You could see the whole field and the way the sound reverberated throughout the whole stadium. But the bathrooms were packed and crap, hallways were too small, mainly when there were breaks where the concession stands would have lines almost back to the end of the wall.

I have seen a lot of things in the RCA Dome, I saw Jeff George during his rookie year, was lucky enough to see Eric Dickerson play there, lived through the Ron Meyer years as head coach. Saw many of IU and Kentucky games at the Dome, saw a Super Bowl winning season, NCAA playoff games, NCAA Final Fours, watching Damon Bailey on TV his Senior year of High School play at the Dome as well. Watching Floyd and Row 26 break the benches more than one time. The place did it all.

The RCA Dome also led the the basic revival of downtown Indianapolis, it is no longer "Naptown" but a thriving bustling downtown city, complete with crime (see Jamaal Tinsley). And with the Colts being successful it has only helped out immensely to what Indianapolis is.

But next year Lucas Oil Stadium opens. My seats are a little lower, and probably a lot higher. it will not have those unforgiving metal bench seats, it won't have the crowded hallways, and the old small TV screens, it will have everything and more that the RCA Dome didn't have. I can't yet figure out if that is a good or bad thing....I just hope it keeps the noise in like that Dome did.

Bruce Weber is a classless whine-ass


Stick with me before you call me an IU homer. After missing the first five minutes of the IU-Illinois game due to CBS Sports making us watch that fat tub of shit Jared on TV talking about whatever ( I had it on mute) we finally joined the IU game in progress, what the entire game was a defensive struggle and a bad offensive night for both teams.


Illinois played their asses off, they came to play, trying to shrug off Weber's longest losing streak since he has been at Illinois. While Illinois is maybe a guard away from being a pretty good team, they lack a definite scoring punch.


After the game is what gets me, the whole game was physical both ways, and had plenty of jawing each way. Not to mention the games biggest figure, Eric Gordon, while still effective, was limited by the larger, better defender Brian Randle being on him much of the second half. But when everything was said and done, and the game was over, you see Illini assistant Jay Price storm off the floor and Bruce "Cry Baby" Weber shake Sampson's hand then storm off the floor as well.


I mean the last time I looked Bruce Weber is a grown man, doing something that a child would do after he didn't get his allowance. It's pathetic to see a grown man, making thousands at a public university act this way, nevertheless a public figure such as him. It's downright embarrassing to the university and alumni to see a man act so childish towards another peer.


If someone beats me out for a job I wouldn't hold a grudge, that's life folks, things happen. Apparently Bruce Weber has never figured this out in life

Iowa 43 Michigan State 36???


Can someone please tell me how the #6 team in the nation only manages 36 points against the lowly 8-9 Iowa Hawkeyes? What an absolutely pathetic showing by the Spartans, who were preseason favorites to win the Big 10. Drew Neitzel only managed 10 points on 4-14 shooting which is awful, considering Neitzel is supposedly the best player in the Big 10. If the Hoosiers can pull out a W against the Illini tomorrow in Btown that will put them at the top in the Big 10. I have a gut feeling the Mr. Eric Gordon may end up with more points against Illinois than what the Spartans ended up with today against Iowa. Good luck in the NBDL next season Neitzel...you suck!!!

NFL Divisional Round Predictions


It is time for the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs and just like the regular season Patriots; only one of us went undefeated in the Wild Card Round. Floyd Hustle went 4-0, with Skip, SkinDog, and KDoles coming in at 3-1. Where is Trip? Well Trip must have been on a bye week with Romo and Jessica, because he went 2-2. Maybe Trip will be inspired by the words of Herm Edwards:
Now for the picks:

Floyd Hustle
Green Bay over Seattle
New England over Jacksonville
Indianapolis over San Diego
New York over Dallas

Skip
Green Bay over Seattle
New England over Jacksonville
Indianapolis over San Diego
New York over Dallas

SkinDog
Green Bay over Seattle
New England over Jacksonville
San Diego over Indianapolis
Dallas over New York

KDoles
Green Bay over Seattle
New England over Jacksonville
Indianapolis over San Diego
New York over Dallas

Trip
Seattle over Green Bay
New England over Jacksonville
Indianapolis over San Diego
Dallas over New York

Get to know Bob Sanders

The Indianapolis Star has a brilliant piece up on hard hitting Bob Sanders that is worth a read.


To many Colts fans, including me and Floyd Hustle, Sanders remains a favorite of ours and we're lucky to have him wrapped up for 5 more years. Besides take a look at his mug, this fucker looks mean...


Who scores 20 points in a game?

The Saint Louis Bilikens that's who. In a world of fast paced, up-and-down the court style of basketball, Rick Majerus couldn't get his team to score more than Eric Gordon averages a game.



There must have been something else on Rick's mind....

Oral Roberts, an NBA team??

Yes, you heard me right, Oral Roberts is likened to a NBA team. You all must think I am crazy, right? Well not me but IPFW head coach Dane Fife is.

“I told our guys after the game that I was very proud of them, because I am,” IPFW coach Dane Fife said. “Oral Roberts looks like an NBA team, and I think that is what ultimately got us.


That is the direct quote from Dane Fife. Now many of you don't know what IPFW is, and that's fine, but I'm sure a lot of people who regularly don't follow college basketball have a tough enough time knowing who Oral Roberts is as well.


It seems Fife is learning well from protege Mike Davis on his public speaking abilities. I mean he constantly puts his foot in his mouth. Next thing you know he'll be telling his legion of 14 fans that help is on the way, and once he gets his guys in his system he'll be fine.

And there are even IU fans that want this doofus as the next head coach when Kelvin Sampson leaves IU, are people that damn stupid? Look at what Sampson has done, we don't need a IU guy to be competitive anymore in this day of basketball, people need to get off his nuts. He was a mediocre, hustling basketball player.

$100,000 to can Ty Willingham, I'll pay Notre Dame $50 to hire him back!

A rich wealthy University of Washington law school grad will give a gift of $100,000 if Tyrone Willingham is canned. It must be nice to have that kind of money to throw away. This generous guy will also shell out another hundred grand if the schools AD is also sent out on his can.


Willingham in his third straight losing season at Washington, isn't getting the job done in the powerful Pac-10, and likely has one more year to turn around the program.


Hey while Notre Dame should limp into a 6-6 record next year I am willing to offer Notre Dame a gift of $50 to hire Ty back! Yes, you heard me right folks a BRAND NEW Ulysses S. Grant to come back as coach of Notre Dame. I mean at least he led them to bowl games, something a certain fat coach couldn't do.

Really Notre Dame fans was Ty that bad? Now you have a colossal blimp on the side of your team, and one that could be rushed to Saint Joesph Regional Medical Center any day of the week.

Then we'll hear the fans wake the echo of Rick Meier or Ron Powlus. Seriously Notre Dame, 50 bucks if you hire Ty back, DO IT, I need a tax break.

Meet the 7'7" Pansy


Kenny George is 7'7", Tyler Hansbrough is listed at 6'9"; although it seems to me that George has a good foot on Hansbrough.

How does a guy who is 7'7" play for a crap team like UNC-Ashville? You would think on pure size alone he would get a scholarship to a big name program. Hell Shagari Alleyne (Who?) played for Kentucky and he had to be the worst player ever. I saw him live in the NCAA tournament with Skip and Floyd. We were just shocked at how lost he was on the court. He showed no basketball skills at all.

Anyway, there is no reason that Kenny George should have been dunked on by ANYONE if he had any basketball skills at all. Here is the video of Tyler dunking over Kenny. I HATE North Carolina, but I have to give props to Tyler; extra step or not.
