Yeah they used to have like 5 HS now down to one I think. They did build a casino a few years back. I dont think Michael Jackson went to Hs and he's a few years older than me. I grew up one town over but my dad took a coaching job so I went with Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 A) Dude was a headcase since he arrived. He barely made it through spring ball. It was only a matter of time imo. It sucks since he was a good player, but making exceptions for certain players isn't how a culture is built. 2) There is no way the team is flying into Chicago (and then it would then be a 2.5-3.5 hour bus ride depending on traffic). There is an airport in Layfayette that is owned by Purdue (who has a leading aviation program). 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The story is that a Rivals writer saw MM boarding a flight to San Francisco at Epply while said writer was boarding a flight to Chicago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

That makes more sense. Which, then begs the question....why would he be flying to San Fran? I think he's from Maryland. Quote Link to comment

No clue what they are actually doing but it would make sense to me to take the 2 hour bus ride and ensure a safe landing. 2 Quote Link to comment

The Indianapolis airport is open and running as normal, so I don't think an airport an hour northwest would have problems. 1 Quote Link to comment

Would have been a year or two after the Brook Berringer crash. He was a good guy. Gary also has an international airport and it would be an 1:45 at most drive to PU Quote Link to comment
