Tiebreaker Competition for IU & Purdue in the 7th annual Red & Black Give Back Food Drive

MAY 2, 2023

The Indiana University Alumni Association Chapter of Greater Evansville (IUAA) and the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville (PACE) are hosting their 7th annual Red & Black Give Back food drive competition this Saturday, May 6 between 8 am-12 noon at the six Schnucks locations in Evansville and Newburgh. Donations for the competition can also be made now through noon on May 6 by texting RED-BLACK to 71777; then follow the instructions to support your favorite team.

The winner will be determined by which alumni club can collect the most food and raise the most dollars to benefit Tri-State Food Bank. This will be a tiebreaker year for the competition, which currently has a 3-3 tie between the two teams. Over its 6-season history, Red & Black Give Back has raised over $25,000 and has collected nearly 11,000 pounds of food to help our Tri-State neighbors in need.

The winner is not only competing for a worthy cause but bragging rights and their own Old Oaken Bucket. “The Purdue vs. Indiana rivalry goes back over 100 years, with the Oaken Bucket going back to the 1920s. It represents not just a competition, but the greatness of each school through the history of our state. While our Oaken Bucket doesn’t go back that far, we believe this food drive competition doesn’t just show the greatness of our alumni, but their dedication to give back to our community,” stated Nate Hahn, Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville Board Member.

“The IU Alumni Association of Greater Evansville is excited to once again battle with the Purdue Alumni Club of Evansville for the benefit of Tri-State Food Bank. We look forward to taking back possession of the Old Oaken Bucket, but the real winner in this endeavor are all those who are served by Tri-State Food Bank. We’re Hoosiers fighting hunger. GO IU!” stated Kyle King, Indiana University Alumni Association of Greater Evansville Chapter Board Member.

Darmstadt – 600 East Boonville-New Harmony Rd, Evansville, IN

  • Evansville North – 3700 First Ave, Evansville, IN
  • Lawndale Commons – 5000 Washington Ave, Evansville, IN
  • Green River – 3501 North Green River Rd, Evansville, IN
  • Newburgh – 8301 Bell Oaks Drive, Newburgh, IN

Press Release Rumours

VU All-Region guard Tasos Cook signs with Campbell University

0

VINCENNES, Ind. – Vincennes University sophomore point guard and 2023 All-Region 24 member Tasos Cook (Columbus, Ohio) signed his letter of intent Monday afternoon to continue his athletic and academic careers at Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C.

“I personally chose Campbell University to continue my athletic and academic career because of many things,” Cook said. “Everything about Campbell caught my attention. The location, the campus, the athletic facilities and much more. The hospitality and love I got from the entire coaching staff and players was huge for me as well and I felt comfortable there the minute I showed up.”

“After being at Campbell for my visit, I can see bright things in my future here and that made my decision very easy that this was the place for me,” Cook added.

Cook joined the Trailblazers after playing his freshman season at Stetson University in Florida.

Cook instantly made an impact with the Blue and Gold, scoring a game-high 20 points in just his second game at VU.

Cook helped guide the Trailblazers to a 30-6 record this past season and helped VU earn a spot in the NJCAA Division I National Quarterfinals in Kansas.

Cook was the only member of the 2022-23 VU squad to start in all 36 games this past season and ended his year averaging 10.9 points, a team-high 4.2 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game and hitting 35-percent from behind the three-point arc.

Cook was selected as a member of the 2023 All-Region 24 team and continued to lead the Blazers at the NJCAA National Tournament, scoring 15 points and grabbing seven rebounds in VU’s opening round win over Trinity Valley.

“My favorite memory from this past season at VU was definitely our entire trip at Hutch,” Cook said. “I feel we achieved many accomplishments while there and came together as a team. One of our main goals was to get there and we were able to make that happen.”

Cook joins a Campbell squad that finished last season with a record of 16-18 under Head Coach Kevin McGeehan and reached the Championship game of the Big South Conference Tournament in March.

The Fighting Camels will be transitioning to being a member of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) next season.

Cook is the first Vincennes University men’s basketball player to sign with Campbell University and 283rd men’s basketball player to sign with a four-year school in VU history.

“Athletically here at Vincennes, Coach Franklin has challenged me all year to be the best version of myself when playing,” Cook said. “I have been prepared both physically and mentally for the next level while being here at Vincennes and it will all make the transition back much easier. I have learned a lot from playing for Coach Franklin that I can take with me to the next level to be a better player for my next program.”

“Academically, what I have taken away from Vincennes is to continue to hold myself accountable,” Cook added. “To be responsible for classes, assignments and of course, time management during the season. I have been prepared with many college courses that will have me ready to continue my major at Campbell University.”

The Vincennes University Athletic Department would like to congratulate Tasos Cook on his signing with Campbell University and wishes him good luck as he continues his basketball career next season.

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way City-County Observer Comment Policy. Be kind to people. No personal attacks or harassment will be tolerated and will be removed from our site.”
We understand that sometimes people don’t always agree and discussions may become a little heated.  The use of offensive language and insults against commenters will not be tolerated and will be removed from our site.
IS IT TRUE that Vanderburgh County Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Smith crossed the line of responsible leadership during his recent speech at the Evansville Rotary Club when he publically took a Mayoral candidate to task for expressing her opinion on how and why parents choose schools for their children to attend?  …we agree with Dr. Smith’s comment “that approach matters”? …that the professional thing for Superintendent Smith to do was set up a private meeting with County Commissioner Musgrave to sit down and rationally discuss any concerns or recommendations she might have to improve the Vanderburgh County school system?
IS IT TRUE that refined people strongly dislike men insulting women in public?
IS IT TRUE that a school’s quality education ranking is a key factor in drawing young families with children to move to a certain area?…that every Superintendent of Schools know that many people use the Internet in planning where they want to live, work, and send their kids to school are just a few clicks away?
IS IT TRUE that The last time “Letter Grades” were given by the Indiana Department Of Education to the EVSC school system was back in 2020?  …that several EVSC schools received either an F and/or a D letter grade back then?  …we hope things have improved over the last 3 years?
IS IT TRUE that we have been told that the national testing results trend suggests that the 2023 test scores may not have improved much from years past?

IS IT TRUE that the local Republican party is currently experiencing some political infighting within its own ranks?  …we predict that the local Republican party movers and shakers will one day regret that they showed favoritism toward a Mayoral candidate listed on the May 2, 2023, primary election ballot?

IS IT TRUE that we are told that the voters are expecting every candidate running for Mayor Of Evansville and City Council in the general election to explain how they are going to improve the morale problems at the Evansville Police Department; correct the maintenance issues in our neighborhood parks; come up with a  solution to correct the serious financial losses at the FORD CENTER, find a way to keep our monthly water and sewer bills affordable and come up with a workable plan to repair our crumbling streets within budget?

IS IT TRUE that law enforcement professionals have borne the brunt of the blame for the increase in violence and crime?  …in certain cities, our law enforcement professionals have been so restricted that they become reluctant to do their jobs?  …that the City-County Observer is a strong supporter of our law enforcement professionals?
IS IT TRUE that it is seldom that the federal government accomplishes exactly what it was meant to do at the price that was advertised?…that most government programs exist perpetually even after they have accomplished what was intended?…there are even laws on the books that should have been canceled or rescinded years ago for obsolescence?…one local community in their zeal to be like the federal government still has a law on the books forbidding the riding of a stud bull in front of a church on Sunday morning?
