our entire house is sick i tryed everything i could think of to keep our almost 6 month old from getting it but despite my best efforts she got it. i love seeing family but when your kids are sick i would rather have people stay home thats how this got started a family member brough her kids over sick. has anyone else had troubles with there kids getting sick this year? does anyone have any ideas about keeping there kids from getting it or how to keep them from getting it if you get it first
It can be very difficult avoiding colds; the best way would be to simply ask your friends and relatives to respect your wishes that they not visit or bring anyone over with a cold. Another thing to consider is that exposure to colds helps to build a childs immunity. It is always a matter of degrees and comfort, and you should do what makes you comfortable; with our daugher we try to keep her away from those who are very very sick but thanks, I feel in part, to her earlier exposures she is usually able to be around people with colds without necessarily picking it up.
Our kids are the biggest source of illness in our house. While my older daughter has built up a good immunity and is rarely sick, my little one has been almost constantly sick since she started daycare 18 months ago. She's had tubes put in her ears because she had an ear infection almost every week. She's been through at least three types of antibiotics and it's concerning when your little ones are sick so often. On the one hand, it's important for them to build up the immunity. On the other, when it becomes consistent, it's an issue, especially with antibiotic-resistant bugs becoming more common.
I think that if there's something going around, our kids getting it is inevitable. I try everything I can to spare them from the experience (handwashing, vitamins, etc.), but if it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
I tryed the same thing with my daughter... but i found out that there is actually no way to prevent them getting a cold. My daughter got her first cold this past week and she is 7 months yesterday. She was given cough medicine and she kicked the cold within a week. Its not really uncomon for babies to catch colds their tiny bodies cant handle all of the germs we put out there. I hope this helped (i only have the one daughter but im a single mom and i found out from doctors and nurses a lot of thing that i never knew before)
Definitely ask people to stay home if they are sick at all. Other than that you can really only practice good handwashing and hope for the best. Eating a healthy diet will help some, but this time of year is just bad for most people. My children stay home with me and my son has had croup 3 times already this year. The good news is flu doesn't seem to be as bad this year as it was last year. I haven't had a flu patient yet and I am normally up to my eyeballs with them.
well she actualy didn't have a cold on friday she started weasing and i freeked out, took her in and she had RSV and nemonia (probley didn't spell that right sorry) she is on amoxicilin and a nebulizer she is doing better now she seams to be acting more normal,
Wow! I am glad she is better now! RSV and pneumonia are two illness you do not want your child to have. I'm glad you caught it and took her to be seen. Good job mom!
ShortySuger, how scary when that happens! How is she doing? This used to happen to me all the time. I'd bring my kids in to be seen by the pedi because of a cough that wouldn't go away or some other reason, and find out they have severe ear infections or something else that I had no idea was an issue.
Always nerve-wracking, but the good thing is that you followed your instincts and got her into the doc.
well she is much much better now, she still has a little bit of a cough but thats about it, when she woke up weasing friday i knew something was wrong, my nefue had it a few months a ago so i was pretty sure what it was, Having baby x-rays sucks its not like parents aren't scared enough, to have to put your child in a plastic tube with there hands in the air and leave them there while they scream there heads off is quite horrable, i know its the best way to get them but my gosh they have to have a nicer way it just seams crewl. we go in on tuesday for her 6 month shots and she will get all checked out again then, we have stoped the nebulizer it really didn't help but she is on amoxicilin till monday, she loves it she will be totaly full refusing food and take it will no prob, im not complaining tho it makes my life twice as easy.

Her grandfather, youngest son of the revered Sanzer Rebbe, the Divrei Chaim, had promised her she would survive. Was it possible?
Sima Halberstam Preiser grew up in a majestic chassidic household, related to many of the great Rebbes. "Tell me a story of the Sanzer Zeideh" she would beg, and then, entranced, she would hear how her illustrious great-grandfather, the Divrei Chaim, had peddled apples to help an impoverished Jewess or miraculously located a woman's missing husband.
When she was nine years old this sheltered little girl became a fugitive from the Nazis, a smuggler slinking in the shadows, risking her life for a slice of bread, walking barefoot in the snow to find her imprisoned sister. Her journeys would take her into bunkers hidden beneath haystacks, into Hungary's most infamous prison, into a world of death, brutality - and open, unbelievable miracles. Her flight from the Nazis would lead her, also, to the homes of luminaries such as the Munkatzcher and Bobover Rebbes, refugees of joy and faith in a world of despair.
Heaven's Tears is the story of a courageous Jewish child, an outspoken free spirit who grew into a remarkable Jewish woman. Beautifully conveyed by bestselling author Rabbi Nachman Seltzer, it is an unusual mixture of Holocaust memoir and fascinating tales of Chassidic greatness.

301 S Tryon St Ste 55, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2828235.224269 -80.845534
There are better places in Charlotte for lunch... – Food is good, don't get me wrong but if you want to be served by rude person at the cash register this is right place for you. Choice is yours.
Good experience, Great Service, Huge burrito, Good Quality overall – I spent around 7.50 or 8.00 for a massively loaded chicken burrito and coke. The guy behind the counter (maybe it was Johnny himself?) was really nice and explained how to order and recommended certain items to put in my burrito. There were several different types of salsa and 10+ different types of mild to hot sauces available on the side or to be placed in the burrito. The guy behind the counter recommended a chipotle sauce that was really good, I think they make it themselves. Anyway, the burrito was huge and I can't believe they were able to wrap it. There is a faxable form on their website that will save you waiting in line so the food can be had rather quickly. As for the burrito itself, very good with fresh ingredients.I tried Phat Burrito the previous day and I'd have to say JB beats out Phat burrito in terms of quantity and quality of food, specifically JB was more flavorful and had fresher ingredients. The burrito I received still could have used a little more spice to it, next time I'll get the sauce inside the burrito and I think it would be a perfect blend out the door. I really felt welcome there, and around 1:30 or 2:00 I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. Lastly, I typically think of burritos as being extremely messy and getting all over my tie and shirt but this burrito was so well wrapped that I didn't have to worry about it. Good experience overall.
Mixed Feelings – First of all, I agree that you get a ton of food, and that it is good. However, I've eaten at JB and also at Salsarita's downtown, and while the flavor at JB is good, it doesn't always taste quite as fresh. And I do agree that the owner can be pretty rude if you don't play exactly by his rules. When you do, he is very friendly. When you don't, he comes close to turning into the "soup-nazi" from Seinfeld (if you don't watch Seinfeld, don't worry...it's not really as bad as it sounds).
Overall, I say the service is mediocre, the food is good but not great, but you will be full in the end!
Rude Owner – I have never had the owner of an establishment act so rudely towards someone who wants to use debit cards to pay for their lunch. Hey, Johnny Burrito, if you don't want customers to use debit/credit, why don't you switch to cash only? I've been going to his place religiously ever since they first opened. No more.
Fresh ingredients and efficient service make this Uptown burrito shop a must-visit. – The Scene
Rush, rush, rush. Eat, eat, eat. Lunch hour is never long enough--unless you go to Johnny Burrito. Place your order at the counter, and someone will make it for you quickly and efficiently, right in front of your eyes. You'll be on your way in minutes. A nifty twist: These folks don't mess around with change. They round the prices up or down, so it's easier to split the cost with a friend.
The Food
All burritos and salads include your choice of rice, black beans and hot/cold fillings: vegetables, cheese, lettuce, black olives, jalapenos, habanero salsa, guacamole and more. Meats include marinated and char-grilled chicken and steak, spicy ground beef and a weekly special. Chips, salsa, rice, beans and veggies star as side dishes. A good choice is the special spicy brisket burrito with plenty of fresh cilantro.
Great Burrito FAST!!!! – Hands down the best burrito in Charlotte made before your eyes in under a minute. Don't be put off by the long line running out the door you will be served in a matter of minutes, by one of Johnny's Burrito artists. These burritos are sooo big (football size) I don't see how they get them rolled up.
Don't miss the Tamales on Friday either.
I've never seen the health rating under 100 !!!!
Great food and excellent service – I was working in Charlotte for a few months and would visit this place for lunch at least once a week. The fact that you customize the burritoes separates this place from all other burrito places I have eaten at. Too bad Johnny won't come to New York.
Amazing place – I love this place. fast, very friendly service. The folks behind the counter seem to be having a *great* time. Plus the burrito was one of the best I've ever had.
Made a believer out of me! – World class burritos!! Although this is technically a burrito stand in upscale surroundings, the service is quick, efficient, and friendly. I drove my wife and 4 kids 45 miles to see if the reviews were all just hype: the burritos are unmatched in the Carolinas (and even by "authentic" Mexican restaurants). I wish that JB would open branches in other communities in the area. The food was fresh and exceeded my expectations.

Two Evansville brothers are arrested after police say they caught them stealing metal pipes.
Police say 48-year-old Eric Coffee and 50-year-old Steven Coffee were loading large pipes onto a U-Haul truck on Burkhardt.
The property caretaker called police when the two men were stopped a few blocks away. Both claimed they took the pipes, because there was a sign that read 'free.'
Officers say there was a sign that appeared to have been placed there by the brothers.

Dinosaur Valley State Park
Things to Do
Dinosaur Valley State Park contains some of the best preserved dinosaur tracks in the world. The dinosaur tracks are located in the riverbed, so please call ahead to check on river conditions. There are two fiberglass models, a 70-foot Apatosaurus and a 45-foot Tyrannosaurus Rex. They were built, under commission of the Sinclair Oil Company, for New York World's Fair Dinosaur Exhibit of 1964 - 1965. Other activities include camping, picnicking, hiking, mountain biking, equestrian use in a separate 100-acre area, river swimming and fishing, and wildlife observation.
If you would like some help finding and identifying the dinosaur tracks, you can use your gps enabled smartphone, or other mobile device, and the digital dinosaur track maps available on the Mapping Dinosaur Tracks page, to hunt for tracks; you will even be able to find tracks that are not currently visible because they are covered with dirt.
If you plan to swim at the park, read through our swimming safety tips before you come.
Equestrian: The South Primitive Area, a 100-acre section of the park, is set aside for equestrian recreation, and horses may be ridden only in this area of the park. Visitors must provide their own horses. There are no marked trails. A river runs through the area, and the terrain is wooded and semi-rocky. A parking area is provided for horse trailers; no potable water is available. River water is available for horses, but you must bring your own bucket. Restrooms without showers are located in the day-use park complex.
Volunteer Information: For information on volunteer opportunities at the park, contact us, go to the TPWD Volunteer Opportunities page, or check the LDL Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park web site.
Ranger Programs
The park offers a variety of educational opportunities, including dinosaur track tours, stargazing and wildlife viewing. Check the calendar for upcoming events or contact the park for special tours.
- Interpretive Guide to Dinosaur Valley State Park
- Ask about the Junior Ranger Explorer Packs available for free checkout at the park!
Dinosaur Valley SP held their first Citizen's Park Ranger Academy (CPRA) in August 2013, and it was a great success. Preparations are under way for the next CPRA to be held in September 2014. During the course, students 15-years of age and older, will experience the adventures of working in a state park and learn the various operating aspects, including wildland firefighting, search and rescue operations, interpretive programs, infrastructure operations, park law enforcement, and other related fields. There is no cost for the program and when students graduate they will receive a certificate and T-shirt.

This post is all about showcasing awesome landing pages, to give you some inspiration for your next design. It's worth stating that no page is ever perfect – or conversely, every page can be better. With this in mind, we'll be offering perspective on what makes each page special or interesting, while providing some insight into what we would try out in an A/B test experiment to optimize for higher conversions.
There are many factors, but the principle reasons are an adherence to the fundamental rules of conversion centered design:
Note: All of these landing pages were built using the Unbounce Landing Page Platform – huzzah! A big thanks to customers that consented to have their pages showcased here. Enjoy!
For this post we're going to do something different. We'll have 2 people to critique the pages. Oli Gardner will do some and Carlos Del Rio the others.

From the selection of "lead gen" landing page examples shown, a whopping 73% are doing it right and describing what will happen when you push their buttons!
*wipes eye in moment of gushing pride*
If you've got or have seen a rocking landing page, please share it in the comments.
Wow, Great list of landing pages, most of these pages are effective when it comes to convert visitors in to sales immediately after they landing.
Well we don't know if they convert…sometimes a terrible looking design converts better than a stunning one. i.e. there is a reason all those ebook pages use the long sales page that looks like it was designed in 1996.
This is not necessarily true. Yes there are reasons why those ebook pages look terrible. It's mostly because of circle jerk nonsense passed around internet marking forums.
Those designs don't necessarily convert well because they look horrible. They convert well because they have strong calls to action and convincing sales copy. They also appeal to a particular audience which is used to seeing those crappy pages.
Using A/B testing on more modern, well-designed sales pages that also have strong calls to action and good sales copy could lead these marketers down the path to larger sales but most of them are too scared to break out of what they know.
Thank`s a lot for this list of really great landingpages!
Your comments, advantages and disadvantage of each page are really helpfull. Thanks from Germany
Great list.
As someone who worked on a few of these, great to get some professional feedback. Lots of great tips to glean from ALL the critiques.

Great information there and some great tips that everyone could benefit from! This site is now firmly bookmarked.
Great list, nothing better for inspiration than critiqued landing pages. Love to see more of this.

Hey Oli,
I know this post took awhile to put together, but as an ongoing resource, it's a fantastic piece on all types of landing pages for all sorts of purposes.
This appeals to small and large companies alike regardless of their desired outcomes.
What would you suggest for companies that are smaller, and perhaps don't have the know-how, expertise and/or creative team or budget to produce pages of this caliber?
I'm sure some of your audience would love to design these types of pages using unbounce, but simply cannot (either because they can't afford the high level design/artists, or they are not as sophisticated), so what do you suggest for some of these types of companies?
Again, great job my friend.

"Beauty over substance" is a fool's choice. Strong content will lure traffic to the ugliest websites.
No argument there. But Beauty PLUS substance stands a better chance. Just makes pure logical and psychological sense. Content is very key in making a page convert – after all, messaging is words (or images/video). At the end of the day, you need a combination of everything and just need to execute well.
Those without skill won't succeed, those that can write, design and layout a message in a way that communicates a need to a visitor will.

It seems like you are expert at landing pages and therefore I would really like to hire you to build a landing page for me. Please send me a email through my website at http://worldclassmortgages.com/contact/.
Thank You
I like the GreenLighted one .. the design definitely sells even if the product is not great, the design will attract the customer to buying ..
To be completely honest, 50% of these sites clearly suck. "The Sharp Firm – A Consistent CTA" beautiful example? Really? come on
Thanks for the wonderful illustrations and reviews. Now I am seriously considering about creating a landing page on my own.
Hey There. I found your weblog using msn. This is a really neatly written article. I'll make sure to bookmark it and return to learn extra of your useful info. Thank you for the post. I'll definitely comeback.

Great examples – wish I had someone who create pages that good for me! Since I'm a home business of one person who sucks at technology, I did the best I could with a site building tool and used the same design for the email as the landing page.

Are these landing pages all created with the unbounce tool? The templates are pretty much limited. Hopefully we could see more templates in unbounce.
Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person's webpage link on your page at appropriate place and other person will also do similar for you.
Many good examples, enjoyed it. I wish you had a real estate landing page sample. I was just curious :)
Thank you for sharing Oli, you are amazing!
This was a really great eye opener at the quality of great website landing pages out there. Just seeing how website landing pages have evolved into quality vs qauntity. Finally 'designers' are getting it, a site is not about having a million options on your landing page, but refining it to a call to action… I have been applying this technique just out of my own experience what i want my visitors to do when they land on my page, option 1 or option 2. Go left or right. you choose.. I'm a designer and tend to whip landing pages together and later on tweak them as the website gets popular. I was really inspired to really tweak it to the best ability to convert visitor into buyers and refine my skills even more and be more refined.
Great website !
Hi Oli,
Great article here. I am seeking your valued advise for my site because it is not making my visitors stay long or buy any of the services I offer yet.

I really like the Smart Rewards landing page. We have an online sign shop that allows you to design your own signs. And one of our biggest conversion challenges is to get someone directly into the designer tool. If we out a sign template in the space where the main graphic is at the top, I bet people would get started designing right away.
I like the idea of the landing page instead of pointing right to the home page. Your post proves it so well. I've seen another article about 'About Us' pages – I like the idea of the landing page instead of pointing right to the home page..

Today is the day for the Thunder in the Valley, and the Terre Haute Triathlon is under new leadership in 2013, the 28th year for the event at Hawthorn Park.
A former Terre Haute North track and cross country standout, Ethan Page is the race director as the race falls under the reign of Page's new company Crossroads Events.
The 22-year-old graduate of the Indiana University Kelley School of Business with a degree in entrepreneurship has been doing triathlons for several years.
Page is expecting a final competitor list of more than 200 racers — or on par with recent races. Among the competitors will be two-time defending men's winner Nick Waninger.
Waninger finished the course — a 800-meter swim, 40-kilometer (24.9 mile) bike and 10-kilometer run — in one hour, 36 minutes and 30 seconds last year, which is the second fastest time in the event's history.
Kirk Nelson, a professional competitor and triathlon coach based in Colorado, holds the record with a time of 1:34.24.
The Terre Haute native hopes to continue to put his personal touch on the event.
"In the future, I'd like to attract sponsors. You can really spruce up the race. Can make it more professional, give extra stuff, nicer awards," Page said.
The IU grad also has a race coming up at Lincoln State Park near Santa Claus. That race is June 8 and two distances are available. The sprint distance race, which will start at 8 a.m., will be a 400-meter swim, 10-mile bike and 3-mile run. The other race, which is a modified Olympic distance like Terre Haute, has an 800-meter swim, 40K bike and 10K run that will begin at 8:45 a.m.
Page is looking to bring more events to Terre Haute. With the fitness industry growing in different ways all the time, Page wants to bring people to his hometown for cycling, running races — or even adventure racing.
"I'd love to bring some cycling races to Terre Haute. There's road racing or a criterium," Page said. "We have some excellent cyclists in Terre Haute and we can attract others from around the state and the Midwest."
Terre Haute was home to the Crossroads Criterium, a downtown cycling race, for several years around 2006. Page would like to do something similar.
"The Morris Trucking Company use to put it on, it was popular for a while. That's another example, they're great, but kind of did it on the side," Page said. "I didn't realize how much work it is to put on an event. It really has to be a full-time job. They did a good job, just didn't have enough time to grow it and make it better. I think it would be cool to involve the downtown area, highlight our old buildings like the Sycamore Building and the Hulman Building. Can fill up those downtown restaurants. It would be cool to do something with ISU. Work in the stadium somehow."
Also, 5K races are popular with many organizations as fundraisers. Page would like to offer his services as an event manager to help events attract participants.
"People aren't going to come back if it's not doing well. You pay off what your event manager does in the results I'll provide," Page said. "I'm hoping to bring a lot of cool and different 5Ks. There's some that are getting popular. I've got some ideas for that. People aren't going to come back if it's not doing well. You pay off what your event manager does."
Page mentioned that more than half the registered participants in the Terre Haute Triathlon today are from out of state. He'd like to add a few more events like this to bring visitors to the city.
"Another big goal of mine is to enrich the community of Terre Haute. I'd like to bring more events to Terre Haute to bring more business in to the city," he said.

Todd Golden: Elite athletes? TH bows to no one
Maybe instead of a new swimming complex, Terre Haute ought to built itself an ice rink. I mean no disrespect to swimming, but ice hockey is the only sport that Terre Haute can't unequivocally claim an elite athlete in.
Til it's over: Grand memories usher in a new era for ISU track
John McNichols won his first Missouri Valley Conference championship in outdoor track at Indiana State's Marks Field back in 1988. He's gone on to win eight more — in addition to his two indoor track and eight cross country crowns. In 2016, McNichols will have a chance to add that outdoor title total on the site of a brand new facility — proposed to be named Gibson Track and Field by ISU President Dan Bradley.
Redneck Quaker: A young lady of the outdoors
Where do I start to tell you about this 10-year-old outdoor lady? Let's start with her own words from a nice letter she wrote.
"My name is Lilly Hutchison and this year when I was nine and again hunting with my Papaw, Mike Burch, we got up way before daylight on opening morning of youth deer season. I was watching a 6-pointer for several minutes until a larger buck appeared and chased him off, but not giving me a shot at him. Papaw and I were preparing a place for our evening hunt when a couple of does came across the field right to us. I carefully placed my shot and she ran around 8 yards. That evening, we decided to go to our neighbors' woods. On the way in, we saw a large buck watering in one of the few puddles in the creek. Papaw said we would wait nearby to see if he would come back. To our amazement, he did! I was fortunate to take this 10-pointer, 250-pound buck. I have had many great hunts with Papaw."

Hughes, News & Views: Memories relived of fallen 'Warrior' who attended ISU for one year
Editor's note — Amid national media reports that retired pro wrestler The Ultimate Warrior (formerly known in real life as Jim Hellwig) died late Tuesday night at the age of 54, here is a column that David Hughes completed about the man Tuesday afternoon, not realizing Warrior would be dead within 12 hours.
I realize some of you will cringe or perhaps shift your attention to a different story if I mention "pro wrestling" in this column.
But give this stroll down memory lane a chance before you bolt, because I think it's interesting.
If I'm wrong, feel free to put me in a headlock. Gently, please.
TODD GOLDEN: Waltman's integrity helped him rise to the top
When I began to think about former Indiana State coach Royce Waltman — and I've thought about him a lot in recent months as the ravages of a stroke and cancer robbed us of his presence — I thought to myself "what can I print?"
Waltman was many things. Blunt, plain-spoken, unfiltered? All of the above and more. Every Indiana State fan saw Waltman in action … and I had a front row seat for three years right next to him on press row.

FROM THE PRESS BOX: Missouri Valley is tough — ISU making it tougher
For those who measure the quality of a conference by their place in the Ratings Percentage Index, it was a tough year for the Missouri Valley Conference and its marquee sport: men's basketball.
The MVC was 11th in conference RPI and took all manner of criticism when Wichita State ran the MVC table for a perfect 18-0 season. The fingers that pointed at the league for fielding a weak challenge to the Shockers' dominance were many.

Two Wabash Valley hurdlers helped the Division III Wabash College track and field team go head to head against talent from NCAA Division I schools in the Vanderbilt University Black and Gold Invitational this past weekend.
The Little Giants produced several quality times, including a first-place finish by Northview grad Joel Whittington in the men's 400-meter hurdles. The junior captured the title with a top time of 54.4 seconds, the fourth quickest recorded for NCAA DIII men this season. Cole Seward, a freshman from Terre Haute North, took third place, crossing the finish line in 55.7.

Hughes, News & Views: West Vigo graduate earns 600th victory as coach; Looking back at 1979 championship game
I haven't written a column since before the Super Bowl, so now's a good time to get a few things off my chest:
• Congratulations to Mike Fields — a 1969 West Vigo High School graduate, a 1973 Indiana State grad and a former Terre Haute Tribune part-time sportswriter — for posting the 600th victory of his baseball coaching career.
He accomplished the feat March 3 when his Harmony High School squad defeated Orlando Oak Ridge 11-2 down in Florida.
TODD GOLDEN: ISU's no-excuses approach for real
If you were to ask me what the drawback of covering Indiana State baseball is? I'd be hard-pressed to name very much.
Redneck Quaker: Lidster knows his mushrooms
To be or not to be, mushrooms this year? After looking high and low, I found a legendary Morel mushroom hunter living amongst us here in the Wabash Valley.
You are about to learn all of Richard Lidster's secrets and knowledge on sneaking up on those elusive creatures. Richard is the oldest of three boys. He's 67 years old, Mike's 63 and Steve's 55.
Til it's over: Long wait finally over for first-year West Vigo baseball coach
My sincerest apology if I jinx it, but winter should be done now. This means, first and foremost, baseball season has arrived. It's been a long winter for Culley DeGroote, in particular. He takes over the West Vigo program that his father Steve DeGroote built into a perennial winner.
Amey Takes Aim: Columnist's boys basketball tradition continues
In marked contrast to my recent whiny column about girls basketball, I was blessed this winter to see virtually every high school team in the Wabash Valley during the boys season.
Some might suggest that was a mixed blessing, since a few of our teams weren't as successful as they are used to being (particularly in the 2014 portion of the season), but the Tribune-Star was still involved with two teams that came within a game of the state finals, one of them in an Indiana final four (no capitalization anymore, new system) and two teams that were in the top eight of their class. That's only three great teams — Paris was both a game away and in the final eight — but that's still a pretty good haul.
Weekley is among Hall of Fame honorees
It's a big week for Indiana basketball. The high school boys state finals will be played Saturday, and former players and coaches will be honored at the annual dinner of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Paul Weekley is one of the former coaches who will be inducted into the Hall.
FROM THE PRESS BOX: ISU never kicked down the door in 2014
After Indiana State's 91-71 loss Tuesday at Arkansas in the National Invitation Tournament, and in the days since, I can't help but think of Bum Phillips and the 1980 Houston Oilers as I ponder Indiana State's 2013-14 men's basketball season.
Stay with me.
The Oilers had lost to the all-conquering Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1978 and 1979 AFC Championship games. Despite that, it seemed the Earl Campbell-led squad was the team of destiny to knock the Steel Curtain off their perch.
So much so that Phillips, the wonderfully colorful Oilers coach, said the Oilers would "kick the door down", knock off their black-and-gold nemesis, and win the AFC Central in 1980.
Ramblin' Reck: Three local hoops teams still have shot at titles

Illinois high school boys basketball teams commenced postseason play Monday night and teams in Indiana are set to close out the regular season. Two of the teams with top marks in the area are Cloverdale and Clay City and they met last Saturday to cap a good week of basketball.
