IU Hoosier41

I agree they've played in front of everyone before, but college basketball is a whole different game than high school and AAU. Look at Kentucky in the first half of the MSU game. It rattles kids. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

NOTE: I'm not starting a war here, just curious. As I've previously said, I'm not religious. I went to church growing up, went to Sunday school & did my lessons. Even from an early age, it didn't make sense to me. It seems like society today says you should be religious, and religion is in almost every aspect of your day in one way or the other. I just don't understand why. I should say that I'm not an atheist. But I'm also not a believer. If I had the choice of believing in all of that I would choose to believe. I just can't do it. There are too many unknowns in life to base my entire life and thoughts off something that nobody knows the answers to. I guess the point I am getting to, is of any of you that are religious question what your being told and taught? Is there anyone I could talk to about this that wouldn't freak out at me for all the questions I have? I promise I'm not putting anyone down or anything, I just don't understand how more people don't think the same way I do. If I'm just different, I'm fine with that, I'm just putting this feeler out there to see. (Jaybob - if this is too far off base, feel free to remove it. I don't want this to get out of hand, I just want to learn and discuss these things.) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Haha that's comical. His real pitch should be " I've for a good looking wife, my team had a ton of fun playing together and we got on a ridiculous streak that carried me from Florida Gulf Coast to USC because USC needed to make a splash for this hire and get people excited. I feel lucky to be here, and I might be able to make you better, but if not, you might get on sports center a couple times. So come to USC" Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm worried about Thursday. Young players, big arena & big stage for the first time usually equals trouble. I think IU will destroy whoever they play on Friday though as they will have calmed down. I'm leaving towards a struggle on Thursday and a dominate performance on Friday. I just hope this team can pull out the win Thursday. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

But what else Can people bicker about every Monday afternoon? We gots to have our rankings!! (I feel you. They don't matter at all in basketball, but it is nice to see and follow the big ten teams as a good conference helps with our seeding come March. As we know from the last two seasons, your draw can make or break your season. Kentucky, Syracuse... Ugh. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

It's crazy... I'll actually watch a couple games of theirs because of them. I doubt I'm alone either. Would be really cool if the lady Hoosiers could get into the top 25 and the support could grow for them like Indiana baseball did last season. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

This is in no way a homer call.... Indiana - 42 Ohio $tate 41 Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Back to the topic though, I think Indiana's depth is perfect for quick turnaround games. Especially if the other team has a quick turnaround too. The Big ten tournament will really test this theory. If Indiana can somehow get a bye in the first round and then play a team that had to start on Wednesday... I love how fast we play and the depth we appear to have. That all being said, it looked like we had better depth than we really did last year before we got to the tougher games. It wasn't until the. Did Crean stop going deep on his bench. Hopefully that doesn't happen again this season. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

just LOL'd. Well played sir, well played Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

You all know WAY more about assistant coaches than me. I'll sit this thread out and read all the goodies. If Mallory still has his job, I think I could go in there and perform just as well at half the price. Just something for Mr. Glass to think about. I'll send my resume over!

Nice thread Jaybob. Not a believer myself so I can't add much, but glad you've started a thread for everyone. Just monitor it closely! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm young, relatively anyway, but damn I loved his game. Could straight score the basketball. Wonder if this was an Olive branch to talk about possibly taking that role. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is this just for show? We couldn't possibly be taking another not names Jaquan right? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

As far along as Carrie is, I would imagine Brody has to be the father. And that's why she hasn't told anyone about it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Hmm... I've seen him at plenty of games and I feel like he compliments them a lot. I know he thinks highly of Coach Miller. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

After watching their first couple games.... They need to be excited about something. Surely isn't this squad. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think Hollowell just needs to slow down a little bit. Always looks like he is moving faster than his body will allow. I'm sure Crean is telling him to push the ball and drive though. I just don't see it so much right now. He'll be a big contributor this year, but I also think he will cost a game or two late with a bone headed play.

Kansas will be tough to beat on this one. Our depth with Yogi (if he's there) will scare Lyle away. I think this comes down to eBay happens to Yogi Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
