These photos popped up in my Facebook news feed the other day, shared by none other than Mr. Jeff Tyler who had a ‘disposable camera’ on hand at the time. I believe these were from a Thanksgiving feast where some 406ers chose not to leave Bloomington (school year 97-98). As we’re in Fall headed toward the holidays I figured this was a great day to share. Enjoy! Do you have any other 406 photos? Send … Continue reading
It’s that time of year… the leaves are changing colors, the temps are falling and there’s football on every weekend. Here’s your weekly (ish) Throwback Thursday spot on 406. Today we take a peak at the 2003 Homecoming Game in Bloomington. Well… let’s be honest. We’re actually looking at the tailgate party. I can’t recall if any of us ever actually stepped foot into the stadium. These photos / captions are taken directly from the … Continue reading
A continuation / follow up to last week’s Dirty Dozen post… I’ve been going through the long process of cleaning up web servers, merging and migrating old hosting plans, deleting stuff, archiving stuff, etc. What can I say, I’m a web geek. I ran across this particular page today and wanted to share. Way back in one of the first incarnations of this site there was a page called “The Usual Suspects”. It listed all of … Continue reading
Today’s Throwback Thursday spotlights our good buddy Floyd. Floyd came to IU the same time we all did and his nickname was derived from his hometown, Floyds Knobbs. I think I may have actually called him Chad once or twice ever, and I haven’t felt right about it since. He had some pretty interesting roommates through his stint on Thompson 5, but he made it through and was a part of the 406 origins. Floyd was … Continue reading
For today’s Throwback Thursday I’m pointing the spotlight directly at myself. Don’t want anyone to think that I’m posting all of this stuff of everyone else but have forgotten just what a jackass I was in college. As I’ve pointed out in the past, this gallery shows once again just how much flannel I had, how many earrings I thought were cool and how many bad decisions and poor facial hair choices I made back … Continue reading
I almost missed it! Sorry I’m WAY late in the day, but here’s your weekly Throwback Thursday spot on 406. Today we take a peak at the 2002 Homecoming Game. Well… let’s be honest. We’re actually looking at the tailgate. I’m not sure any of us even made it into the game. (Maybe Gookins… and perhaps Buford for a a quarter or two). I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again. I’m … Continue reading
Welcome to today’s Throwback Thursday! The timing of this one is sort of ironic as 406 Founding Father Floyd just celebrated his 14th wedding anniversary yesterday! Here’s the original album that we shared on the site way back when he got married. It just goes to show you that whether at “home” at 406 or out on the town, these folks know how to party! Congrats and happy anniversary my man! Do you have any other 406 … Continue reading
Welcome to today’s Throwback Thursday! Our good friend Ryan Gookins spent many a days and nights at 406 (seeing as he lived right across the parking lot). Here’s the original album that we shared on the site way back when he got married. Gotta love drinking directly from the Bud Light tap and (Pip?) double fisting bottles of booze. That needs to be your profile picture everywhere sir… Do you have any other 406 related photos? Send … Continue reading
If there’s one universal rule when taking pictures at a wedding (especially as the night goes on) it’s that there is always (at least) one person in the photo that is “that guy”. In this one we’ve actually got two options. The first that jumps out is Dark… not much else to say when you’re the dude in the photo LICKING someone else. But don’t overlook Gookins… the look is priceless and definitely is in … Continue reading
