    Listening to Bob Knight call the Stanford-Old Dominion game. I do enjoy knowledge he brings
  4. While watching Michigan St the other night and onto another Final Four, it got me wondering how nice it must be for some fans to have a double threat school to root for.  Michigan St, Ohio St, Wisconsin, Florida and possibly even Michigan in the near future.  Their football and basketball programs are perennial contenders, or at least in the discussion for a conference championship or a national championship.  This is where I'd like to see IU in the near future (10 years or less).   I remember when Wisconsin was the red-headed stepchild of the B1G for both sports in the 80s.  They were just that team with similar colors with the ugly block "W" on their helmets.  Now look at them.  Always in the conversation when talking B1G titles and further.  What did Wisconsin do to accomplish this?  Was it all Barry Alvarez?  Whatever it was, it's worked.  Even Northwestern has had some success turning their football program around.     IU football was close at one time and then it hit the skids.  Being in a power conference, I don't think this is too much to strive for as a fan or better yet, as an AD?  Or do we simply focus on getting the cash cow program (basketball) back in order first?   Just some random thoughts.  Mods, wasn't sure where to post this but please move as you see fit!

    Loved how Rick didn't even hesitate when Deanna told him to "do it". Ok, that sounded kinky but everyone that watched knows what I'm talking about! Lol

    I thought I saw a flat fee that can be paid versus a monthly. Is this correct?

    Peegs is Lord of the Flies + Real Housewives of Monroe county + Melrose Place with a touch of high school. You're in much better company here.

    Email Fred Glass and let him know how you feel

    I'd personally call Glass if I were a millionaire and a heavy IU donor.  I think he'd be more inclined to listen then

    I've read several posts from UK fans stating they were one more season with having Gillespie to becoming what IU is now. UK made its change at its breaking point.

    I want Tom Crean to stay

    I'd even go to say those with a coaching background in general are more critical too.

    Stan transferring. Max transferring. More rumored to come. Crean rumored to Seton Hall. Crean rumored to DePaul. Glass again says he supports Crean with a 5pm Friday press release. Thomas Bryant trending for IU. Texas fires Barnes. Crean being wished to Texas. Did I miss anything?

    Crean might not be, but his teams can be on occasion. Eventually, that's a reflection of the coach

    I want Tom Crean to stay

    I admire your positive outlook but there are a few patterns that have developed over the Crean years that have to be concerning for you. Namely the late season collapses and the turnover of players.

    That can't be right. Townes doesn't foul!

    Grant should keep driving it. I know one got blocked but it'll lead to possible fouls on UK (if the refs call it) or 2nd chance points for ND

    Good half by ND. Get some defensive rebounds and it'll be an interesting 2nd half!
