Indiana fans living in Illinois going to work today

Don’t tell my wife and kids but that was maybe the best night of my life.

Wow not sure we've seen a performance like that in a long time. That was a lot of fun. Not sure why they decided to guard TJD 1 on 1 but sure glad they did. The D is the last two games has been phenomenal. We get more lame T's than any other team I have ever seen. Why is an official going into our bench looking for trouble? We're still not in the double bonus for the game. only 8 fouls on ILL for the whole night. They pressed and trapped the whole second half. Big Ten officiating is not getting any better. We have a chance if we win Sunday to string a few in a row with Minny & OSU coming up. Go Hoosiers!!

Hova this morning.

omg forgot to tell you guys a story!!!!!!! This one guy that was body painted head to toe to look like The Chief tried chest bumping my wife so I grabbed him by the neck and threw him down the stairs. She turned and looked at me and said "my hero!" and we embraced. Chief guy comes back up the stairs, stops at our seats, and stares at me for a good 15 seconds before offering a handshake. As we shake hands, he pulls me in close and says "TJD is my favorite player" and out of nowhere pulls out 2 tubs of body paint, one crimson one cream. We then candy striped him top to bottom and drank warm beers together, singing This Is Indiana until they cut us off.

While Race probably wasn't playing as well as last season, he was still playing infinitely better then his replacement (JG) had been playing up until yesterday. He still was a much better defender then JG up until yesterday. He knew and understood the defensive rotations, etc., he played better off of TJD offensively, etc. As we've discussed, we can win without XJ and Race. Not to the same level, but we can win if we play like yesterday. But you just can't dismiss the injuries. They do matter and can take a team time to adjust too. The good news is that yesterday is repeatable. IU didn't win because someone like Bates, for example, went nuts and hit a bunch 3's in an anomaly performance. They won with grit, toughness, and defensive effort and intensity. Hopefully that was a shift and not an aberration. Will be really disappointed if they don't bring that Thursday.

My first interview would be Schrewsberry. He was an assistant under Stevens at Butler & Boston, an assistant under Painter. He is from Indiana, his parents went to one of the IU schools. His dad is good friends with Glass. Crean was supposed to hire him as an assistant. High school coaches like him.

Can a forum moderator be banned for life? Really curious to know.

know this will come off sappy and probably a little pathetic. This last week I have been looking at myself and not liking my attitude or what I see of myself. I am really working on my faith and trying to be a better person. So the first thing I need to do is to apologize to anyone on here I have offended over the years. The thing I need to work on is accepting that other people will have different opinions than mine and there is nothing wrong with that. Everyone has the right to their opinion and mine are no better than anybody else. None of us are right or wrong with how we fill about things and who am I to question anybody's opinion on any subject. Over the years I have acted like I knew more about IU and my opinion is the only right opinion . I really thinking about this today after the game where I was disappointed in our loss. Driving to my son's house in Plainfield to pick him up for the Pacers game. I told myself not to let the outcome of the game to ruin my time with my son. Got to his house and got to see my two granddaughters and it just brought a new perspective for me. There is no reason an outcome of a sporting event should ever effect my mood. I have no influence on what happens on the court or field and did nothing to prepare for the game. I just sit on my fat butt on the couch watching others play sports. I know the ridicule about this post will come but I wanted to get this off if my chest. Go Hoosiers

Good afternoon to everyone except Tim Weaver. Let's get a win. Go Hoosiers

I started a thread like this for Juwan Morgan in his senior year, so I figured I would start a similar thread for TJD. Scoring: 112 points behind Alan Henderson/746 points points behind Calbert Cheaney * if he maintains his current 18.6 pts/game average with 13 remaining regular season games to play, he would end up with 2108 (good for 4th best before the Big Ten Tournament/84 from 3rd) #8 Trayce Jackson-Davis: 1867 #7 Alan Henderson: 1979 #6 Yogi Ferrell: 1986 #5 Mike Woodson: 2061 #4 A.J. Guyton: 2100 #3 Don Schlundt: 2192 #2 Steve Alford: 2438 #1 Calbert Cheaney: 2613 Rebounds: 87 rebounds behind Kent Benson/147 rebounds behind Alan Henderson * if he maintains his current 9.8 rebs/game average with 13 remaining regular season games to play, he would end up with 1071 (good for 3rd best before the Big Ten Tournament/16 from 2nd/20 from all-time leader) #4 Trayce Jackson-Davis: 944 #3 Kent Benson: 1031 #2 Walt Bellamy: 1087 #1 Alan Henderson: 1091 Blocks: 5 blocks behind Jeff Newton * barring injury, he will become Indiana's all-time shot block leader #2 Trayce-Jackson Davis: 222 #1 Jeff Newton: 227

The Jordan Geronimo redemption arc continues! Outside of dribbling a few times (always bad) that kid has been locked in the last few games. I was as down on him as anyone, but he’s telling me to shove it and I couldn’t be happier.

Top 25 NET road win. Keep building that resume

CHAMPAIGN IS A METRO AREA? Champaign is Terre Haute with a better mall and more meth. Tell me more about the largest Olive Garden I've ever seen, Nightman! Their awesome bar options are the exact same chain college bars that are in Bloomington, without the actual good bars in Bloomington. A Champaigner's idea of getting a reservation at Janko's is getting the "your table is ready" buzzer at Texas Roadhouse and smashing 3 pounds of free peanuts while they wait for "45-60 minutes". Forgive me also for giving zero credit to their generic concrete UFO with the atmosphere of a TJ Maxx. You want some bad seats? Sit anywhere in the upper level of that place. You might as well be watching the game from outside. We'll call that a wash, at best, but ours is always full so we win. I took my Illinois-grad in-laws to a game at the only Assembly Hall a few years ago when we curb-stomped those sorry ass crybabies and they: enjoyed the arena more than SFC, enjoyed the meal more than anywhere they had been in Champaign, and didn't get shot at. A great time was had by all. Should I get started on The Chief?

Not sure what you are talking about but I’m going to go out and get a chicken sandwich.

Win or lose we still booze

I'd like to apologize to everyone for the last 7 years I have been separated from my candy stripe pants for almost 7 years. In that time, Indiana has been absolute dog ****. I now have them back in my possession, cleaned and ready to go for the game today. Hoosiers!

Between Davis, Crean, Miller, and now this I have officially spent more time this century hoping IU would fire their coach and miserably waiting on the next one than I have been excited about IU basketball. At least I remember the late 80’s/early 90’s. I always feel bad for the younger fans who reference Crean as “the good times.” I remember when the late 90’s was considered “down” even though we made the tourney every year.

I’ve had three miller lites and I’m ready to fight anyone wearing orange.

The coach probably drew the triangle of sadness on the white board.

My wife and I are going on 28 years now.

Husband just finished chemo. We both need a Hoosier win tonight to perk us up! Go Hoosiers!
