TAKE A LOOK
REM’s “Everybody Hurts.”
Dustin, you look pretty tough on the youtube video throwing up bench presses like they’re nothing!
Do you guys see IU beating some teams up this season?
Interesting read on Orhian Johnson, would have liked him here, but he sounds like a good young man, even if he is a Buckeye.
Dustin’s form on the bench was better than most of our team.
A coward’s words seldom hit their mark
Mistake them not for a Husky bark
Like urine in fresh snow
Remora’s color is yellow
and cowardice his art
Is anything to be inferred from Cody Zeller visiting a second time so soon after the previous visit?
Proud the Husky howls again
Safe and sound in Hoosier den
Leads the pack on Envy Trail
Boiler had his momma’s tail
Still my fluffy friend.
