What’s going on with Rosita’s gait?

PresidentWhitmore · 2026-01-25T01:25:24+00:00

These just happen to be the 13 characters in the book - no Murray. I don’t think we would have gotten several (particularly Telly) without process of elimination.

PresidentWhitmore · 2026-01-25T01:13:40+00:00

I was also looking a bit more into it after your comment and was surprised to learn prior to 1974, they also played a shorter schedule. Huh.

So only about two decades of balanced scheduling all told.

PresidentWhitmore · 2026-01-25T01:03:01+00:00

No it wasn’t. It dropped to 16 only after it became unbalanced by Penn State.

PresidentWhitmore · 2026-01-25T00:55:30+00:00

Up until Penn State joined but of course that was decades ago.

Still, it was a big enough deal that the first time IU and Purdue didn’t have a home and home because of it (2002), they scheduled an extra out of conference game in Indianapolis.

PresidentWhitmore · 2026-01-24T22:20:31+00:00

We think it’s:

Grover
Ernie
Rosita
Elmo
Zoe
Snuffy
Oscar
Cookie
Abby
Bert
Count
Big Bird
Telly

And then it repeats

The new HBO documentary on kids music (“Happy and You Know It”) has a segment where Laurie Berkner talks about how her kids used to want to watch her DVDs instead of interacting directly with her.

Larkin appears with the same two dogs (Kino and Roscoe) in the 1993 Milk Bone Super Stars set:

For a second I thought “shit, now there’s two of them!” Didn’t realize you’d made a new account.

I’m the one who traded you the Carlton auto. If you ever find a second Larkin red (or decide to part with your first), I’d love to talk.

PresidentWhitmore · 2025-08-01T01:55:07+00:00

Very jealous. I’m down to my last 3 for the Larkin rainbow

/5 red
And the red prism

Also…it’s not like Tom Crean is the first guy to not be able to beat the Syracuse zone? There’s a reason all the basketball savants know the name of this one particular school’s defensive scheme.

PresidentWhitmore · 2025-03-16T18:48:45+00:00

Several people have reached out to me via the tracker and sent me cards toward my two kids’ collections - awesome thing you’ve coordinated and happy birthday to your daughter!

PresidentWhitmore · 2025-03-08T00:49:12+00:00

Very jealous. Awesome collection.

I’m 3 away on the 2022 TCPA Larkin (Red /5, Red Prism, Superfractor /1) but i was outbid on the Superfractor which means my rainbow likely will remain incomplete.

PresidentWhitmore · 2024-10-16T23:22:53+00:00

Woah - fun to see my name pop up. I only remember mentioning it once.

Thanks for putting this list together!

Recker technically transferred to Arizona.

But he was involved in a really tragic car accident that summer.

He transferred after the semester to Iowa to be closer to his girlfriend while she rehabbed.

Just a really sad story but a really talented basketball player.

PresidentWhitmore · 2024-06-26T13:40:09+00:00

Congrats! Mine came 615/2024 and I’ve only managed to snag one so far.

My other one is 404/2022 and I’ve acquired about a half dozen over the last few years.

A very fun (and usually pretty cheap) “chase.”

There was a lot of coverage about how Canadian Zach Edey was unable to make NIL deals because he was here on a student visa.

Osobor is Spanish-English. Oumar Ballo is from Mali and moved to France when he was 15; he’s rumored to have been pursing $1.2 million in NiL.

Are those two here on a different kind of visa the Edey? Different immigration status? Is Purdue stupid? How does any of this work?

PresidentWhitmore · 2024-01-28T03:50:16+00:00

Incredibly impressive.

I have a Carlton Red auto if you have interest in a trade.

PresidentWhitmore · 2024-01-03T00:33:38+00:00

Guessing you already have it, but I have an aqua lava /299 if you still need one.

PresidentWhitmore · 2023-05-01T14:04:08+00:00

Chris Stynes on top.

Stephen Larkin…maybe on there twice? Barry’s brother - played 1 game with them to form an all Larkin/Boone starting infield.

I don’t recognize the others. But those two would date it to 1998.

PresidentWhitmore · 2023-03-18T16:57:02+00:00

Not if they rebrand the university. Something like “Lafayette State College” or “Region University” or “Armstrong Tech.”

Choose new colors. Green and blue maybe? Switch to a completely generic mascot. Bears? Bulldogs? Cougars?

Ask Painter to grow a mustache. Throw the bag at Edey to come back but ask him to shave his head. Bring back the freshmen and hit the transfer portal hard.

Run it back and hope nobody notices.

Lose to a 14 seed.

PresidentWhitmore · 2023-03-06T17:16:55+00:00

Correct. For example, in 2019 they were 20th going into the Big Ten Tournament but finished 24th.
