    My problem is that he’s just as much of a ****** as those other guys.
  3. Also, the brick material that they are using up on the rooftop level is what is throughout the NEZ concourse. It kind of sticks out at the moment until they stain/paint the rest of the concrete to match the tan color of the older concrete throughout the stadium.

    #IUWBB - 2018 WNIT CHAMPS!

    Uh, what? Here is the complete history of IU Women’s Basketball in the NCAA Tournament: Year Round Opponent Result 1983 First Round Second Round Kentucky Georgia W 87–76 L 86–70 1994 First Round Ole Miss L 83–61 1995 First Round Georgia L 81–64 2002 First Round TCU L 55–45 2016 First Round Second Round Georgia Notre Dame W 62–58 L 87–70 I’ll repeat what I said above: This is literally the best three year stretch in the history of the program. On the court and off. She’s won our second NCAA tournament game ever, gotten us to the postseason three years in a row for the first time ever, and landed our first two five-star recruits. Getting all uppity about how “we should’ve done this” is pointless. TM has the program winning more/recruiting better than they ever have. Mediocrity is a HUGE step forward for what has been a horrible program for decades. I have no idea what you’re talking about with hit and miss recruiting either; we never landed five stars before TM. Despite facing the program’s horrific reputation, she’s done remarkably well. Let her do her job and keep the program growing. I feel like some people look at every IU program through the lens of the men’s basketball team, and that’s just ridiculous. It’s like the people whining about Lemonis in baseball, even though he’s responsible for 1/3 of our all-time NCAA tournament appearances and has us ranked #11 in the country. There were fans saying that he “refuses to emphasize defense” last year, despite putting up the 3 best defensive seasons (fielding percentage) in the program’s history in his first 3 years. Some of the “issues” people point out are simply not real.

I know you continue to say this, but it’s just so out of left field and bizarre. Our women’s program has literally never seen this much success.

    Graphic design team has been doing some solid work. I’m going to sound very lame here...but the kids do love the Fortnite:

    IUFB Offseason Updates

    Offseason throwback game of the week: 1990 OSU at IU, at The Rock. Hoosiers were 4-0 and ranked 22nd. Game ended in a 27-27 tie. A fun watch, with Green, Dunbar, and Turner on offense. This is the full game, with commercials, so it’s about 3 1/2 hours. Some of the commercials are hilarious, and the halftime show features a younger, yet still old, Lee Corso...
  9. Another look at the old cave up under the press box. Anybody miss it? (No.)
  10. Pic is from 2009. They’re just good quality photos that I like to use.
  11. Comparison of March and April of last year to now:
  12. Interested to see if this is still happening this summer...
  13. NEZ offices (before they put in the TVs and other decorations)...
  14. Bourbon Barrel up in Henke Hall...

    No kidding. This thread is like the twilight zone. ”Hey let’s fire a guy who has us ranked and likely headed to yet another NCAA tournament and hire a guy who’s about to get canned at a traditional power with more resources!” And yeah I know when this thread was started, but geez.
