Basketball was invented in Massachusetts by a Canadian. This same inventor once opined that although basketball's roots were in Massachusetts, it was made for Indiana. Kansas just likes to claim that they invented it since Dr Naismith eventually went on to coach there.

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2017/10/24/four-most-alarming-stats-indianapolis-colts-disastrous-start/794268001/ I'm not sure if I want to try to win the division or tank for the pick. I'm not sure we have a choice, we might want to try to claim it as a tank job lol

Kinda the point I'm making. I see posters talking about Final Four or more. I know we're hungry as hell...I know I want it bad too. I'm just trying to temper the "championship roster" talk.

Yep. I seem to remember both being in the top 2 of pg and sg respectively. I guess that's why I thought of them.

I'm not trying to compare coaches at all. I think the IU brand brings recruits in. Success sustains that. I'm hoping for this success to follow, but cautiously guarded by past results. I see too many getting as excited as I did for Bracy and Marshall. Basketball needs to start again asap!

Lol, I'm trying not to be man. I just feel guarded due to recent history. Hoping for the best but not expecting it

Even if we get Romeo and Darius, it doesn't mean we'll get 5 stars in the future. As stated earlier in this thread, IU got Bracey Wright and Marshall Strickland. Then struggled through Mike Davis' tenure. We got Cody and then Yogi, then struggled beyond that. Getting studs has little indication towards getting more later. I guess I'm just trying to temper expectations. We can (hopefully) get these two, but it gives little meaning on the next classes. That said, come on down Romeo and Darius!

Jerry Meyer hasn't picked us on any 5 stars before, and he's been right. That's not hating, that's doing his job right. I've never understood those that have bashed him for that. Now if he picked us and he's right, accept that he's doing his job right. Not that there's any "hate" factor.

Bracey Wright and Marshall Strickland

UNC could make him eligible

I don't have a grudge toward you at all. No reason to. If you feel one, it's only on your side. As for final record, we'll see I guess. I don't see any more wins

What grudge? What way am I being to you? Yes, sometimes a 2-14 team is as bad as a 1-15 team.

So you don't remember it, you're just looking at numbers. Thanks for the clarification. This year we have the worst overall schedule and we're a two win team. Is there room for comparison in your statlines?

Was that the year he showed up with a beard at training camp and told us we could call him the bearded wonder? We had Eric Dickerson as running back too. What a disappointing team

Schedules change every year. Do you remember that season? Or are you just winging this?

You start with 5 wins, then waver between 3 and 4 lol. I don't know, I look at our schedule and I don't see them. I guess we'll see.

What other wins do you see the Colts getting this year?

Have you seen this team? We're only a half step ahead of Cleveland. It can get turned around fairly quickly I think, that 1-15 team was a dropped Aaron Bailey pass from the Super Bowl just 4 years later. Over the last few years, we've been bad. We're 1-15 bad this year, although I know we will double those wins this time. Yuck. This team is awful. I pin most of it on the leadership team.

Who remembers the 1-15 season in the early 90's? This team may be worse.

This is the first ranked opponent that Penn State has played? Did I just hear the commentator right? IU has played 4 out of 8.

That's such a Purdoo term. IU in all sports are #1. I cheer for all other state schools except the Toiletmakers.

Gooch got the sack! (Sorry, I've been wanting to say that for a while)

Yeah. No offense intended at all. I just always thought you were too young for beer

Are you old enough for beer?

He's back out there
