which suggest it is him, claims to be him , and is accepted as Osiris by other posters.

A discussion that has since expired on Redbirdfan, and has been deleted was titled "King O" and talked about him posting under that name and confirming thast it is him.

c'mon bro. you are much smarter than that. I may be the real Danny Cooksey from "Diff'rent Strokes", just because my signature says I am??/I tell people I'm him so that makes it so???

If I change my name to Michael Jordan, does that mean I am really him???

Are you really a tornado???

Just because someone claims to be someone on a message board it doesn't mean it's true. No one knows with certainty whether that's Eldridge or not except the person who is posting under that name.

This is a terribly inaccurate representation of what I think about Eldridge, and I think if you read what I've posted, you'd have to rescind that allegation.

I took this type of thing as a negative:

Obviously OE did not have that ability as the only teams they beat this year were the weaklings and sub-sub.500 guys.

And when I say something like you seem to dislike Eldridge that is the just a general impression I get from you. If you say it isn't so, so be it. :wink:

I hope he ends up in Bloomington. Wesleyan will have landed a heck of a player. ISU is in Normal. :)

That is true. :oops: However, i would think a kid who had committed to ISU would know the difference between Normal and Bloomington, especially if he intended to be there for the next few seasons. :-o
 
cpac, I have lived in Central IL for 40 years, and have been to B-N several hundred times, and guess what....
I still have no idea where Bloomington ends and Normal begins, and it seems most people there don't know for sure either, since when I have asked for directions I often get told "I am not sure if it technically in Bloomington or Normal".
I have also been told by people who are from Normal that when they tell others where they are from they often answer for simplicity (and to avoid the monotonous jokes) that they are from Bloomington rather than Normal. Almost all the youth teams that come to Peoria to play in different sports are always the Bloomington "Whatevers" or the Twin City "Team Name" but I have never seen a travelling team named for Normal, so there must be a reason?

Well I have lived in Chicago for 35 years, and I can tell you that I always knew that Illinois State University was in Normal, just as I knew that the Univeristy of Illinois was in Champaign, not Urbana.

This is what is pretty common up here:
Normal = ISU
Bloomington = IWU

By the way, go to today's pantagraph's article on Vianney leaving, there is someone that posted as Cpacmel, and I can assure you it wasn't me. (and once you read what was written by Cpacmel, you will know it wasn't me).

Who's to say that isn't the case with KING "O" and Eldridge?

Not to be picky Mel, but I THINK U of I is in Urbana. I know the majority of the campus is in Champaign, but I THINK that the campus post office is in Urbana which technically makes Urbana the offical address. Maybe some U of I alum can verify this.
 
I recall a man from Normal,Il. marrying a woman from Oblong, Il.

The paper said...."Oblong woman marries Normal man" :-o :lol:
 
I stand corrected about U of I. :oops:

Who knows if it was Eldridge or not, posting on some message board.

Next year I will ask him. :D
 
fwtw my friend who went to ISU said Bloomington when i asked him, i dont see what the big deal is, about if its offical address is in B or N, its still basically the same thing, and is just known to most people as B-N, combined.
