Unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch IU during their prime years. The only times I’ve been overly excited was -2002 championship game against Maryland. (Ended poorly) -2012-13 season (Ended Poorly) -This offseason, with hopes of finally bringing in Stevens. (Appears to have ended poorly) I’m still hopeful we land a great coach, it’s just not the result I had hoped for. Edit: Just saw 0708’s latest post...no longer hopeful I guess. Lol

I’m not entirely sure where to post this, and I didn’t want to make a new thread about it, but I’m looking for a little guidance. My 17 year old nephew had his heart transplant yesterday, and is a huge basketball nut. Obviously a big IU fan like the rest of the family. Anyways I’m making him a video of his journey, and looking to make it a little more special. I’m trying to buy him a few cameos of his liked nba players & old Hoosiers he knows. I’ve found CWat on a cameo site, just waiting for the video to finish and get sent to me. I didn’t really see anyone else on there he would get excited about. My question is, do you all know anywhere else where I can find some of these guys to book? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It definitely was. Haha. He did the IUBB takeover q&a today, and I guess he read the message I sent their Facebook page a few days ago. So it kinda came as a surprise. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me out with this, & give a small update. So far I have the videos of Watford & Al Durham. I also got messages back from Newkirk & Hartman, who are supposed to be sending some later. Extremely happy with how this gone. Even if there are no more to follow I’m grateful for the ones we have already. That’s 4 videos more than what I originally thought I would get. So, thanks again to everyone who helped point me in the right direction. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I had a good long talk yesterday with a coworker who is originally from Dayton. He follows the the Flyers almost as much as he follows UK. We discussed the possibilities of renewing the UK rivalry, the recruiting Archie has done, and most importantly his basketball IQ. Overall he was pretty upset that Dayton lost him, while also being happy IU landed him. This is coming from a guy, who has found any reason possible, to give me **** for being the only IU fan at work. Like him, I believe the general consensus around the college basketball world, is that they are ready for us to be relevant again. They, like MOST of us, are excited to see Archie make us compete again. Personally, I was a little upset after the announcement like a few others. Although, after spending the entire day reading other coaches opinions, seeing his body of work as a whole, and thinking about where we were just a couple of months ago, I went to bed fairly excited. I firmly believe the only way to go from here is up. That being said, even though I'm going to miss my Belgian Ales, I'm ready to start stocking my fridge with Millers, and enjoying IU basketball again.

This is terrible. I woke up today to UK making it to the elite 8, and IU still not having a coach. Going back to sleep and trying this again.

Right? Tomorrow is set to be my busiest day at work in months. I'll be 100 pages, & 200 offsetting rumors behind by the time I can get on here.

You believe this is his real stance on Crean? Or just being polite?

Stage 1: Denial

This suspense reminds me of the few days before Christmas as a child. Am I going to get the new toy I begged and pleaded for, or am I going to get that lump of coal?

Yuck, they pulled a few of us to do JRTC down that way a couple years ago. Probably my least favorite place in the U.S. (Right up there with Lexington.)

Thanks, it was better than I anticipated.

Wow. All things considered, idk that I could've asked for a better first trip here.

17 mins until my first game at AH, and Crean's last game at AH.

Been a lurking here for a couple months. After the Bryant commitment and UK lost, I just had to share my excitement with some fellow Hoosier fans. It's hard to share enthusiasm being a IU fan living in Kentucky lol.
