Kind of appropriate, cc-cat. Couple teammates from that intramural team and I will be seeing Bruce in 3 weeks and he'll play "Glory Days" in the encore. It'll also be my son's first time seeing Bruce and the ESB.

Kind of not appropriate, cc-cat. Usually when I hear Glory Days I think of Friday night high school football games. Not college intramural games.

And fully aligned with this topic, Bruce is screwing his longtime fans with surge pricing and exorbitant fees. And Jimmy Haslam wants to move the Browns to an adjacent city so he can control all parking and ancillary revenue. Sports, arts/entertainment, education...it's all about maximizing the shekels.

He's not alone. Are you familiar with prices for last year's Phil Collins concerts? Garth Brooks? Adele?

Concert ticket pricing and the fees from Ticketmaster and/or AXS are insane.

NIU's David Coit in the portal.

Apparently there's been a spike in portal entries today. I read a theory on reddit that athletes were probably waiting for an end of month NIL check to clear.

Half the guys in the portal will be playing intramural ball next winter.

So, compared to them, Jalin did pretty good. While he's playing Rio Grand Valley State Tech, lots of the others will be playing against Sigma Delta Gamma.

Dynamic pricing backfired a bit with bruce.
Except for the last show at Met Life ,Last year's concert setlists were a bit stagnant.

That dropped the market.
A number of his shows had tickets going for well below face.

Not really a portal post but Shereef seems to have a NIL deal with Applebees. Gotta think he’s staying for another year
Guess he loves his baby back baby back baby back baby back.....
A page of replies and not a single person corrects the crossed up Chili's reference to Applebees? I expect better.
Guess he loves eating good in the neighborhood.

Seriously? Lololol. I was just the other day reading on the Ball board how he and Sparks were buddies and how Sparks' return means Jihad probably stays and with Pearson and Hendricks coming into their own they're going to have the best front court in the MAC. Could still be good, but is there a worse luck program in the MAC than Ball State?

Any frontcourt that includes Hendricks cannot be considered the best in the MAC. Even in the 2024-25 version of the MAC.

That's great news. Shareef always seemed to come through with buckets when no one else was. Great defender.

I didn't see the Instagram post by Shereef. Hoping it's true but I don't see it. To bring back a core of:
PG: Shereef Mitchell
SG: Elmore James
SF: AJ Brown
PF: Aidan Hadaway
C: AJ Clayton
Bench: Ajay Sheldon, Ike Cornish and a grad transfer in Searls

This is amazing. I still think we need a veteran point guard to spell Reef since Ajay is not quite a point guard. I would also like to have a big to allow Ayden Evans to grown slowly (unless Boals thinks he's ready). This way Nichol and Burris can also take their time.

It's his most recent one. It's a collage of photos and has the Back, 4, trophy, cat, and green heart emojis as the caption. Boals shared it. He's back.

Agreed on another PG, although as I've alluded to a few times; we haven't been connected to as many as I thought we would be.

Apparently ASU’s Braelon Green didn’t commit to Toledo, he just visited. He did however, commit to BG.

Keep your fingers crossed on Glory Days.
Bruce is mixing up his setlists and isn't playing Glory Days Every show.
