After an amazing season, I ventured into the world of recruiting in the off season....it has been very interesting and damn fun to follow, but now that signing day has come, what now? I know the spring game and practices will be in the near future, but does the board just get sleepy? Keep afloat with Draft discussions and such?....just curious...

Spring ball.

Practices generally open to the public?

Yes, but it's generally cold as nut sack outside.

Plus, we talk about attendance, scheduling bigger teams in HS, improvements to HS, marketing, etc. And, don't forget that we still have over a month of stellar basketball ahead! There's always something to talk about. When topics get lean, we bash the crap out of each other.

We talk about the Iowa game for 25 weeks.

He is not joking...sadly

This is the time of the year to find a hobby. I still haven't found one after all of these years so I'm stuck typing back and forth with these crazed people.

Parking Lot debate issue is always a good one too.

This is the time of year I spend more time at the Grotto. Thank goodness for slow periods!

Yes, and the best restaurants in DeKalb in different categories.

P.S. I still like Pizza Villa for pizza and Johnny's Charhouse for steaks. And, I love the Hillside for atmosphere.

Hey, NIU8484, we'll make sure you're not a virgin for long. Okay, guys, who wants to take the first poke at it?

For Pizza it was all about World Famous.

Johnny's is no bueno....worked there for a year, aside from the owner being a cheap *******, the kitchen is run just like any of your neighborhood Greek restaurants in Chicago... They make NOTHING from scratch....

You have posters of virgins!?! Dog Fan would like to talk to you I'm sure!

Generally the next few months you'll hear about different Huskies who have chances of getting drafted and where. Then once the draft happens we'll talk about where Huskies went or should have gone and who got picked up after the draft or has workouts with teams. While that's all happening we'll be talking about spring ball and getting some updates from those who attend (7 and someone else... maybe 32?). Between all that you can expect a few threads about next season, things happening in around campus, and other assorted riff raff. I'd say from about May to August people just REALLY want the season to get here in a hurry.

Vinny's was my favorite

There's also the Iowa bars and hotels thread that should be starting any day now.

Already checked out hotel prices for IOWA, looks like they ratchet them up for home games...
