" Coach Bobby Knight Meets His Match With Former Columbus Hall Of Famer Steve Welmer "
Background Intro: Steve Welmer a former Columbus High School Star, Member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, and now a well known and respected NCAA Basketball Referee. Coach Knight is the Texas Tech Basketball coach and former Indiana University coach.
Story: During a recent basketball game between Texas Tech and Kansas State, in which Coach Knight's team won the following events were reported in a Kansas Newspaper:
Explain, please said Coach Knight
Coach Bobby Knight needed a really good explanation after a Texas Tech shot clock violation in the first half.
Referee Steve Welmer obliged.
A jumper by Decensae White hit somewhere between the rim and the backboard with four seconds remaining on the shot clock. The ball skipped back to Tech, but by the time Alan Voskuil got off a three-point attempt, the shot clock had expired.
Knight, however, was convinced White's shot had hit the side of the rim. Welmer shook his head and bounced the ball off the backboard three times to show Knight where he saw the ball hit.

Via Bob: Gom awaits and special Chess pies. Wash cloth available for sloppy eaters of Gom Sandwiches. Chef Bob today to make the sloppy stuff with heart burn Tums available. You have to go out West to eat pie and go East to eat the beef.Chess Pie is duly made, and sampled. Very good. Only thing, this turned out looking much better than what I remembered, tasty nonetheless. The finger foods are ready, and the table in front of the TV almost set up, and let the 'yells' begin before too, too long. GO COLTS Nanc

Hmmmm!!!! Best that one can do on 'short notice' in the way of a response.....................................to Bob, the pooch, and the yell leader..................... ;D ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL? For your half time entertainment, 'Elvis' makes an appearance, perhaps, actually a 2nd time, on the Historic Columbus message boards, along with 'his 50s groupie,' who, without disclosing her identity, hidden behind her cool shades, has made appearances at Super Bowls of the past.

Chef Completes Large Pot of Super Bowl Gomwich Concoction
Gom (Sloppy Joes)
It took me 70 minutes in lieu of the time in recipe, but it really is great in my book. If anyone wants to cook this sloppy stuff here is the recipe I went by to the words:
PREP TIME 10 Min (more needed for this Chef) COOK TIME 20 Min (more needed for this Chef)
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 onion, chopped 1 red bell pepper, chopped 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste 1 cup water 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 8 hamburger buns, split
DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and red bell pepper; saute for 5 more minutes, or until onion is tender. Drain the fat. Mix in tomato paste and water, stirring until paste is dissolved. Stir in garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, vinegar, brown sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Continue to heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until mixture is thick.
As they say in the military "its Chow Time."

Margo, you are so right !!
What a great game that goes down in history about two great Christian coaches. That being Dungy and Lovie. They both reflect true values of leadership to the nation. It was a great game after the first minute went by. I read this morning on a ESPN poll that 68 percent of the whole nation were Colts fans during that game. The survey came from a polling of around 400,000 people surveyed.
I really like the flags Richard posted too. Most of my friends here were Colts fans and they didn't need Tums and loved the food. Having said that it is now NCAA Basketball time with March Madness approaching. Loads of great round ball teams this year and a few more quality coaches.
Colts coach Dungy will go down in history as a great leader among coaches and players because of his positive image.

Interesting Television History For Indiana Colts Super Bowl
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Indianapolis Colts' rain-swept victory over the Chicago Bears averaged more than 93 million viewers on Sunday, making it the second most-watched Super Bowl and third most-watched U.S. telecast ever, Nielsen Media Research reported.
Comment: Maybe a repeat is in order from Dungy, Peyton and players next year.

Fort Bragg Army Cookbook For Field Operation Special Forces Unit
As we all know Army men go into field training in various terrains and conditions. They go into jungles, deserts, woods, mountains, and whatever earth has I guess. Well this cookbook that we have has many serious recipes for food preparations. Ninety-Nine percent of them are very serious concoctions. One stands out to be the funniest, but could be serious I guess. Here it is:
Tomato Soup Delight Recipe Field Conditions:
. Find a pot or large gallon can that had food stored in it, . Dump a half bottle of catsup/ketchup into container, . Fill container half full of clean water, . Find a clean stick or use a huge knife, . Make a fire or use canned heat, . Place container on heat source, . Stir solution with stick or knife, . Remove container with any cloth or gloves, after solution comes to a simmer.
Last but not least EAT your tomato soup.
Note: You do what you gotta do, to survive. If you don't like tomato soup then there are lots of things in th wild.

Words That Are Spelled With "ander" Letters Within
After typing the words Dander & Gander yesterday, my curiosity started clicking about other words that have "ander" use within the word structure. Well, I researched Mr. Webster and came up with six words and all promoted sort of a negative meaning or intent, except Gander.
Here is why I say that with the six words and brief meanings.
Bander- Restrain or constrain or hold something
Dander- Temper
Gander- Male Goose
Pander- Cater to other's weaknesses
Sander- Smooth with abrasive
Wander- Move about aimlessly, stray, delirious
Well, you say so what ! And, I agree with you it doesn't mean much of anything. Maybe, it belongs in a Trivia post or shouldn't be posted period. However, among the twisted negative definitions of all six words; a male goose takes the positive stage.
Enough, of this non-sense it is time to read.

Oil & Gas Wells in Southwestern Indiana Virtually all of Indiana’s oil-producing wells and surface and underground coal mines are in southwestern Indiana. During the heyday in the 1920s & 1930s the geographic region called the Illinois Basin yielded 4 Billion Barrels of crude oil. During 1950 the wells produced 11 Billion Barrels. This basin includes parts of Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois. Today companies are drilling new wells in Indiana’s central and southern basins, looking for more natural gas and crude oil. The escalated prices of crude oil today justify the expense for continued exploration. Note: World Crude Oil Reserves As Of 2005. Go Here & Scroll: www.eia.doe.gov/pub/international/iea2004/table81.xlsComment: One barrel of crude oil equals 42 gallons of oil. One barrel of crude oil yields: 19.5 gallons of gasoline, 9.2 gallons of distillate fuel oil (diesel fuel and home-heating oil), 4.1 gallons of kerosene-type jet fuel 2.3 gallons of residual fuel oil (used in industry and marine transportation and for election power generation) 1.9 gallons liquefied refinery gases 1.9 gallons still gas 1.8 gallons coke 1.3 gallons asphalt and road oil 1.2 gallons petrochemical feedstock 0.5 gallons lubricants 0.2 gallons kerosene 0.3 gallons other Indiana Crude Oil Refineries: Two operational of 149 in the United States. Indiana's two refineries process 444,000 barrels of crude oil per day. This provides approximately 8.5 million gallons of vehicle gasoline per day for Indiana and all vendors. The United States uses approximately 400 million gallons of vehicle gasoline per day, and imports about 66 million gallons per day.Number Of States With Refineries: 33, plus 2 in other islands.

Bob,
Thanks for the great picture, I spent a lot of time on that street back in the 1930's, the only big change is the arch alley is no longer there, it was mid block.

I had often wondered how that tree got water during a dry spell. I happen to be over at Greensburg a short time ago and ask a man on the street what the tree did for water when they did have a dry spell, the man looked at me and said, " son, it gets it's water from the spring in the clock, where did you think it came from ? ", well that was good enough for me.

George I Really Liked All The Recent Postcards You PostedThe one of the Greensburg Courthouse Tree is interesting history and I have a web site you can call-up and see many more pictures of the tree and old streets of Greensburg. Brief on Courthouse and Tree: "In 1870 a tree was first sighted growing from the tower of the courthouse, which was built on the present site in 1853. Tourists and others from nearly every state in the Union have come to Greensburg to take a look at the famous courthouse tower trees."Go Here: my.voyager.net/~mfhaston/GreensburgIN.htmlBob

Reference: Rhonda's Blue River Dam/Falls at Edinburg or
Located on the standing bank side (picture) of the dam area is a historical marker. During the Civil War there was a Grist Mill located on the river banks. The local corn was milled there and provided to the Union Army during the war. My grandfather lived near there during that period and probably provided corn to the mill for processing. If anyone goes to Edinburg Blue River Dam/Falls look for the history maker.
