Purdue did not come out of the gate firing last night. They were down 8-0 early in the game, but used their defense to get them back into the game. Robbie Hummel led the team in scoring, but E’Twaun Moore really carried them when he was needed. Moore s…

Tonight I will be at the NIT Tip Off games at Mackey Arena. I really have to get going to make it in time, but I need to get some predictions in. Purdue plays Eastern Michigan in the first game. The Boilers just set school records on Friday with only 3…

Friday when I was buying my Masterpieces box I found a factory set of Upper Deck that was marked at $19.99. I thought that it was a good deal for what I thought was the entire Upper Deck set. What I found out is that the entire first series is there (c…

A month or so ago I wrote a post about going to the Robin Williams show in Lafayette. Tonight I saw Frank Caliendo in Merrillville, IN. He makes his living impersonating other people. He does some great ones, but his best by far is President Bush. What…

Today I took another crack at the UD Masterpiece set. I bought another box of eight packs. I think that this was my last box. Out of the 32 regular cards in the box I only got 3 that I did not have. That is only about 9%. That is alright, but the doubl…

Purdue has so much going for them this season that I think they can only dissapoint. Last season we had lower expectations, and the kids outperformed them. Now we are expecting them to win the Big Ten, and go deeper in the tournament. Things have defin…

I received this card as part of my ‘78 Topps lot that I received a while back. It is a good card of Ron, and part of the reason why I ordered the other cards. I realized that I did not have many cards of a hometown hero. This card of Ron looks about li…

As part of my other site 1984 Topps Cards I had to actually buy the sets. They did not cost very much, but I did get the complete set. I was going to try and hand collate it like I am with the 85 Fleer set, but time was going to be an issue. Part of th…

Today I was still in Lafayette so I went to the Purdue Women’s game. They were playing an exhibition against the OBGR Legends. One member of that team played for Purdue at the turn of the century. She is Erica Valek who is pictured above in the black j…

Last night I was at Purude’s final exhibition game. Purdue only won by 20, but there were plenty of bright spots. JaJuan Johnson looked great. He still is skinny as can be, but he could really develop into a dominant force under the basket. What will m…

I have not been to many Slicer games this year. Things have gotten in the way. I may have to travel to Mishawaka tomorrow night to see the Slicers take on Penn. This is the second time in two years that the teams have met for the sectional title. LaPor…

Today I recieved the 1985 Fleer Sox set in the mail from a seller on eBay. I won the auction for 99 cents, and thought that it would be a great way to get most of the Sox cards from the set. I still need eight of the nine cards from the update set. The…

This website started as a log of the end of my quest to attend 100 college or pro sporting events in one year. I accomplished my goal, but kept the site going. It evolved into a site where I talked about the games that I went to, and put up a couple of…

Here is part two of my haul from Paul’s Random Stuff. The coolest card I think is the Konerko bat card shown above. Although some of these cards were just cool. I may have to try and get the rest of the team sets this winter. I will just get down to th…

This post has been too long coming. I think that the sheer number of cards has prevented me from posting this prior to today. I decided to get back into trading cards a couple of weeks ago. This was nothing like how it used to be as a kid. I don’t even…

Today I received two cards that I bought on eBay last week. The first is a 2008 Donruss Threads Carlton Fisk game used jersey card. It is a sweet card that is #90/100. When I saw the card I knew that I had to have it. The price was very right too. Mayb…

In my package that I recieved Saturday there was also a Ron Reed 1970 Topps card. Another card featuring him as a member of the Atlanta Braves. This is your typical shot of the time on a card. The player posing at spring training. At least this is not …

While I was gone this weekend I received some cards in the mail. One of them was a 1969 Topps card of LaPorte native Ron Reed. Actually I got two of them. I must have hit a wrong button on the Beckett marketplace site. Anyway this is a great card of Ro…

Today on the way home from Lafayette I stopped at a shop right off of 421. It was a little creepy, but could be worth my time later. I have always seen the sign, but always saw what looked like a farm instead of a card shop. Today I decided to go down …

Tonight I was at the first game of the season for the Purdue Men’s team. Well sort of the first game. The game was an exhibition, but you would not have known it from the way the crowd was rocking at the beginning. The final margin was not as wide as I…

This is a hard game to call. Michigan is down. Way down. We should be able to mop the floor with these guys. The only problem with that is the fact that we are way down as well. Michigan is getting beat, but at least they are scoring points. We are not…
