Sorry I missed chat tonight, guys. Had something else going on.   Over the last few weeks, I've found in-game chat to be fun, informative, and respectful. I encourage others to join in.

Have a fantastic time, Natural. Taking your son to his first IUBB game is such a special experience.

I come here for a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer in my pants.   GO HOOSIERS!!!

Hey, I'm "the type of person" who would actually add a poster's name to an "ignore list". I've only done it a few times, I swear!   So wonder about me all you want. I can take it. LOL.

Hmm, fake lists of OVs and other trips. My crystal ball says "WTH?"

Crean has strange mannerisms and weird facial expressions.   His pants obviously don't fit well.   If he can't resolve these problems, ASAP, I don't see him taking IUBB to the next level.

Geometry, click on your BtownBanners control panel ( located under your name at the top of each page ), then click on "Manage Ignore Prefs"  and enter the name(s) of poster(s) you wish to ignore.   This is an easy way to avoid getting into arguments with posters whose opinions differ greatly from yours. I find it helps keep my blood pressure down.

When you decide it's time to use the "Ignore" function to drown out unnecessary noise on BtownBanners.

Thanks for the insight, Martin!

Does Donovan have any Indiana connections? Just wondering if anything more than IUBB tradition ( and $$$ ) could lure him here rather than to some other programs that have gone after him?

Dream on.

I wonder if we're going to be sorry we didn't get Derrik Smits. Yes, he's a 3-star but he's also an in-state 7-footer whose dad was a solid college and NBA player. Derrik doesn't have any "handler" or academic or off-the-court issues that I am aware of. He'll probably turn out to be a very good 4-year player for Valpo. I bet he'll see more game minutes in CBB than April ever will.

1) Recruiting/Roster Management 2) Player Development/Practice ( I would call this "Teaching" ) 3) Academics 4) Game Plan 5) In-Game Adjustments

IU fans are posting stupid Crean expressions on BtownBanners!   Keep 'em coming. Laughing is the only thing that helps at this point.

Free April and MSB!!!

12.) You ask yourself if the Salin Bank guy would be a better coach than Crean.

11.) You watch Butler and wonder, "Why can't we play like that?"

Yep, Fleek, I laugh so much at Crean and Company that it makes me cry.

Expecting to shoot lights out consistently is a game plan for disaster. When we don't, our deficiencies as a team ( do I really need to list them? ) are glaring. And then any team we play is a potential bad match-up.

Or a pie in the face?

Some of the posts today are hilariously funny. Thanks, guys.   I think I've figured out how to get through the Crean era: Enjoy it like a comedy act.

It is what it is, guys. But we're learning!

There's nothing to indicate that IU fans would turn on Stevens. It's conjecture designed to silence people about Crean's failures.

Great post, hoosierfan84!

He's just an excitable boy. ( Thank you, Warren Zevon. )
