Great find, I was in the area, Brazil HS, as a Junior in HS when Bird was at ISU along with Hodges, I forwarded it to many of my friends. Great job
 
Wonder what would have happened to Bird if Hodges's hadn't been so persistent. Always fun to read about the good old days.

Instead of living the good life & still involved with basketball he would probably never had left French Lick. Might have been driving the golf cart shuttle between West Baden & French Lick or maybe driving the train between Jasper & French Lick or maybe just "hanging around" & playing the slots?

...and Mark & Eddie Bird would never have "coat-tailed" into their Gibson-influenced careers in TH. Hell, there'd probably also be a statue of SSOM gulping beer @ Charlies instead of LB @ Hulman Center!:tumbleweeds:

Mighty kind of you, thanks! A little more friendly than the homage BankShot tries to pay me everytime he mentions my favorite pastime and Charlies synonymously!

Fred I haven't been to Charlies for a beer in 6 months - I use to go often because I lived right down the street. It was a safe destination for some friendly booze and banter with my pals! We never picked up too many chicks in that joint - a few prospects but nothing to take home to the parents...

Cheers fellas!!

Perdue Farms has a monopoly on the "Chicks" now dayz...the "Waffle House" was my favorite "predatory atmosphere" in the early 70's, as it was perfect "unwinding" to the evening for some, and easy "re-winding" (:hypnotized:)for others given the appropriate rap! Also avoided being "milked" for free drinks, w/ breakfast a more fiscally prudent alternative.

TH Topix...almost forgot about that hotbed of "alternative" news! I'll need to update my database on a few areas re: Vigo County Schools & ISU sports!:spiritfingers:

Any news re: the redesign of the proposed casino to coincide w/ HC renovation? I heard they were gonna put 'Vegas slots near your HC seating area because of ref. complaints of you "yanking their chains," thinking they'd wear your elbows out!
