Well OK Oumar. Oumar Ballo @OumarBallo32 Replying to @dandakich Don’t start your Negativity with this new group @dandakich. If you can’t support them just leave them alone.

Good for the young man. Best of luck on his career path.

Good luck to Ballo - he was one who left it all on the floor. And that reply post is 100% class

David Lombardi @LombardiHimself Signed 49ers contract for rookie QB Kurtis Rourke: 4 years, $4.3 million, $134k signing bonus, $874k 2025 salary-cap hit.

Pretty sure Ballo “left it all on the floor” at Upstairs Pub too.

Didn't throw stones.

Hidden and ruined by Woodson’s complete lack of perimeter sets and schemes. Said it earlier whether or not people like him he’s a talented player, he’ll do well elsewhere, he just had a sh$t coach

Game three of the Western Conference semifinals and Trayce is getting the start!!!!

https://x.com/TheFieldOf68/status/1920856291393892491 Dauster’s thoughts on this year’s team right now. He is exactly where I am. Wilkerson was my favorite guy in the portal before IU was even on him. Love him. Would be willing to bet that he and Devries will be the highest scoring duo in the B1G this year.

Where was this sh!t this past season

Some folks are upset with the reseat and increase in prices. I get having that initial reaction and I appreciate the long-term supporters of IUFB and hope the ticket office treats them as well as possible. And maybe the athletic dept could have explained this better, but Scott's email to season ticket holders did mention some reasons why this happening. Upset fans have to understand some important facts: 1) The team is better. You can have great seats for cheap if the team stinks, or worse seats for more money if the team is good. Easy choice. There aren't many bad seats at Memorial and there are still reasonably priced options. 2) The stadium is better. The concessions and other amenities are improved and pretty nice. The seats are the same, but the team has the fans standing a lot more. 3) The big one: Since Tom Allen was fired, the annual cost for the football team has increased by ~$20M for players and ~$12M for the staff. $30M+ more per year is a lot for IU to fund, and that number is still increasing. This is the reality of competing in college football. Media rights increases help, but funding needs exceed that and there are no money trees growing in the Arboretum. Bigger football programs charge their fans a lot more than IU. If we want to be a bigger football program, this is where things are going. Fans directly and indirectly fund basically the whole program. At the end of the day, you can still get tickets for $40/game and if you can walk a mile parking can be free or <$10 -- that's a great deal in today's sports entertainment world. Or, you can buy a pricey parking pass next to the stadium and get Hall of Champs seats. There is something for everyone. But, IU is going to have to charge more for football tickets. Fortunately, the team is justifying those increases.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story!!!

Glorified AAU with no scouting involved. This kid plays zerooooo meaningful NBA and I'd be borderline shocked to ever see him on a roster.

Reviving this thread in honor of Pope Leo, a Chicago guy. If you want evidence that this Pope has impeccable character and taste? With the full endorsement of myself and @johnsoniu, Pope Leo is a diehard White Sox fan: https://archive.is/KKpLu

His agent probably had a PR person write that for him.

Walsh wanted Ohio State a year ago. He gets it now. Good dude. All the main assistants ended in good spots. Hunter to Texas Yasir to LSU I believe Walsh to Ohio State. Someway, somehow we need to separate ourselves within the B1G. I like our current staff of assistants very well. Good recruiters and some college ball knowledge and experience. Hope can get something rolling. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

First thing he'll do is say "We spent how much on Gabe Cupps??!!"

Katic was a perfect “fit” for IU lol https://x.com/dogwalkbarstool/status/1920649781585539192?s=46&t=zoBJGD5TXRBDk1ODyOZqlg

To be fair, he wasn't coaching the Indiana Hoosiers either. Sorry, I know it's the wrong thread but that was too easy to pass up.

Personally, I wouldn’t accept another job after I take my planned retirement. :) Let’s go Kings I guess. Maybe TJD or Ware or Xavier Johnson end up there too lol

IU fans just like Star Wars fans. If they aren't complaining, they aren't happy. LOL
