IU Hoosier41

Finally got it!

Alright I turned my gear off to solve the problem... Here is your solution: Click this link and then turn it back on :) https://btownbanners.com/settings/?area=whoweare

Click that gear and you can have it take you to the last READ comment. Someone was asking this earlier.

I'd love to bring that one back, but boy was that a constant headache. Not the easiest world to operate with mobile software updates happening so frequently. Just don't have the time for the BTB App. Loved when we had it though!

I'm looking at that one again. They made plugins vastly different this time around

Alright this looks better. Alot of the functionality of the old site won't work on this new version, so I'll need to spend some time finding replacement parts for them all.

100%. I'm trying like hell to remove all this BLUE....

We are officially back and officially into 2025. MASSIVE site upgrades should mean insanely improved performance. That being said, I'll continue to make the site feel more normal and correct colors and what not, I figured getting the site live was priority #1. The rest you guys will be okay with hopefully!

Any truth to the rumors of him wanting to Come back for another season of NIL as a Heisman Winner? Financially it actually makes some sense if he doesn’t like the NFL locations with top draft picks

Also as I was looking for that picture I came across this. Remember our Pick Em contests??? So fun

I knew we had made it when one of our writers sent me this… credentialed!

So I attempted a full site update tonight and it failed. I'll keep working with the server team to improve the site. Should have quite an updated look soon with the update considereing this place hasn't been updated since like 2020ish...

Mamasa! Glad to see you are still here!

I can’t see my signature so no clue what it says lol, it’s not financial, just ran into server limitations because you crazies made too many posts over the last couple years :). I did used to post stuff on Peegs, actually started BtownBanners back in the Crean years when he would always talk about a players +/-. I created an excel workbook that would take the game play data and automatically calculate every player and lineups +/-. I worked with Peegs and Terry Hutchens (RIP) and got those stats published on Peegs and the Indy Star after all games. Then started BtownBanners as a place to keep Them all in one place. I then added a message board and it started to grow. Then a bunch of the mods from some site, I don’t even remember what it used to be for mad and left there to join BtownBanners. Then the site really took off from the message board and Terry Hutchens actually came to work for BtownBanners and we got credentialed with IU. Wild times. a lot more to it, but we basically became one of the biggest IU Twitter accounts before that was really a thing. Ton of fun in this place. I’m still waiting for the day I can reveal the new BtownBanners logo when we get that 6th Banner… it’s been collecting dust for many many years lol

Hello friends, it is me. Your lovely mods went on a mission to find me and get a hold of me. They are amazing and did fantastic work! Based on their research I was able to get in touch with our server and upgrade it to their newer system. Apparently we had maxed out our capacity from all your activity. It shouldn’t be an issue moving forward per what they said to me. all the mods have a group convo with me now so if anything comes up we should be able to troubleshoot it much quicker. Sorry for being MIA so long, glad to see this place is still as special as I left it!

Not one bit lol

https://x.com/btownbanners/status/1910717939285655730?s=46 BREAKING SOON: Indiana to hire assistant head coach Mike Bargen from Bradley as a top assistant. #iubb the fly by breaking news post :). Hope y’all are doing good!!!

I think it’s important to note that when people post things they “hear” from insiders it generally is what they hear. The stuff I heard and shared is what happened. Indiana went full court press on Stevens. Something we all wanted Indiana to do. Steven’s got a nice big raise from it. If it’s the end, we move on and can finally close the Brad Stevens chapter at Indiana as if it doesn’t happen now, it never will. all that being said, if my current employer asks me about my position with the company as I’m entertaining and listening to another company my answer is pretty damn similar to his. The needs were supposedly met for Stevens to come, he chose otherwise. If it’s over I’m happy it played out this way, so we know we threw everything at him and weren’t being cheap.

Not unexpected honestly. He definitely changed his words a lot since Tuesday though...

Agree 100%. Timing doesn’t make sense at all unless he isn’t on their bench.

Sooo.... this Purdue game announcement is gaining more steam. My sister is at an event in downtown Indy and was talking with Anthony Calhoun who said an announcement is coming during Purdue game. No clue how he’d know but that’s the second I’ve seen that in the last 3 hours. Believe other text more than this one but.... Update: I sent a couple texts out to people I trust to see if they will confirm or deny this. Interesting it’s come from two very different places. Just posting in case it happens you guys can witness it live lol.

Announcement during Purdue game tonight? Most recent text I got from former player. If they actually did that it would be the greatest FU of all time LOL. Don’t necessarily believe it, but be watching the Purdue game if it does lol

I’ll never not find it funny the hard stance national guys take on these issues.

I’ll say this. Over the last 10+ years running this site and working with Indiana and especially when Hutchens came on board I’ve met some very connected people. I don’t reach out to them much and occasionally they’ll reach out to me. I’ve heard rumblings of this for a bit. Stevens is the only choice at this point, Indiana was prepared to make whatever offer needed he couldn’t refuse. Haven’t heard anything is done, but have heard confidence from IU side as they presented everything he needed to see. So unless a major change of heart... I’m optimistic. I still won’t believe anything until I see the press conference. don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just relaying the tidbits I’ve gotten which aren’t groundbreaking.

This is fun :)
