    Can anyone send me the a copy of the video on Patterson "the booger eater" show. I was showing a friend on the link to a friend on You Tube but Patterson must have begged coach to have it taken off.

    MPMIKE,
    Forgive me on my blog etiquettes. Sorry that I broke the chain of command in regards to my question not having anything to do with the recruits. But I like responding to the last posting regardless of topics and thoughts. I can talk all day about our new recruits but I digress...as others have.

    I'm a huge IU fan, sitting in row 12/time line during the KY game. I heard the "booger eater" chants but didn't catch it at first and even asking the guy next to me still didn't grasp it uptil I got back home. So watch the video and you will know what I'm talking about. I would like to post another posting idea on the criticism of KS but when do you think the next time that will come up? I would like to think we can discuss any topic at anytime. I'll let the blog guys decide that one.

    DAVID - I'm just short on time to research. I own two biz and work full time as a sales rep for four states. Thanks for the link and I now have it on MY files.

    BC--Thanks for your explanation. Where can I find this video?
  • ray
    i never saw this before...how funny. i feel somewhat bad for the kid, but then again, that's disgusting!
  • MPmike
    Oh nevermind, I found it. I can't believe Patterson did this during a game and on national tv. It's kind of disgusting, funny and shocking all wrapped up in one.
  • ray
    as for the update on the recruits, thank you! keep us posted on the future hoosiers.
  • Bleeding Crimson
    Thanks guys for being of kindred spirits. We all live in glass houses...but I still love to hate KY more than PU and now Ill.

    As for recruiting information...I'm a longtime subscriber to Inside Indiana two reasons, the Courier Journal I dislike and recruiting info. The other source like to charge for free info. Unlike ITH and they are just as updated as any other page that I read for IU recruiting. So Kudo's to ITH.
    Merry Christmas!
