Dave from Dayton

Coach Knight was intense. From the balcony seats one could see and hear him blasting someone on the court. He forced the team to strive to do their best always. Refuse to lose. He never left a person with an impression. It was more like an explosion. Rude. Crude. Shocking. Demanding. Brilliant. Stubborn. Truly very different. Wow! He was something else. And then some. I wonder if he is to be buried like he said. When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want them to bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my @$$! Probably not, if near Bloomington Indiana. One of the few times that he changed his mind.

The key is not the 'will to win'...everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important. Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one

I really got more than a kick out of Coach Knight and the Hoosiers. Back in '76 and '77...my then gf and I got engaged and married after graduating from IU-B. What can I say...

A Purdoo student-athlete on scholarship walks into a bar and orders a green Creme de Menthe on the rocks. The student then complains: "Our underwater basketweaving teacher has to be the most difficult professor on campus. If she wasn't so drop-dead gorgeous, I would have quit that class a lot earlier." The bartender says: "Here is your...ahem...drink. So, you could say that she's easy on the eyes but hard on the pupils?"

Who cares what the national media thinks about IU preseason? No one knows anything about Indiana at this time. Except that we lost the top 4 scorers from last year. That and our starting PG was injured, and he is the starter remaining this year. Galloway is virtually unproven as a scorer. So are the others. As many have said...too many question marks on the roster. Who are the scorers? Do we defend? Will Reneau foul too much? Playing style? Playing together?

Since I graduated from both Indiana-B and Wisconsin-Madison...my alma mater will win! Wisconsin is evidently an 8.5 to 10 point favorite. O/U is 43. That gives us approximately 27 to 17 with UW winning. Not so fast...Wisconsin has experienced injuries in their RBs and wide receivers.* They struggled to move the ball in the first half against the OSU defense. Guys went down. 2nd half was better but didn't score much. And UW barely beat Illinois 2 weeks ago. IU is clicking. Basketball is starting. Men's soccer is #1 seed in the B10 tourney. I have BTN+ and I may have figured a way to cast from my PC to the smart Samsung TV via Roku. Maybe... The stars are all in alignment and my horrorscope is foggy. And I slept in a Holiday Inn Express years ago for a long, long, restless night. LEOEIEIO. I have nothing to lose in this prediction thread...so here goes...

Well, there were a few minutes in the first half that were really bad. Then, after the half, IU took over.

I am beginning to really like the Taco Kid.

There is no style of play that I recognize. Who said looks like a 7th grade team from a small school.

Can anyone cast BTN+ from their PC to a new smart tv? Without buying a chromecast gadget...

I've been watching some. Trying to cast from PC to smart tv. lol Gunn looked like he was in the game. Galloway and Reneau are fast but cold shooters. No one can put the ball in the hoop. Lots of players getting some PT. Small lineup was fun but not effective. Sloppy isn't quite accurate. Coach Woody is looking like he wants some group to play together and click. They are sharing the ball but..just not getting the ball in the hoop. Assists would be nice. Look healthy and that is it.

Right now...It is after Hoosier Hysteria. Indiana men's basketball is starting. We are undefeated in the '23 - '24 season! Let's hang that banner already. Galloway is going to shoot 8 and make at least 5 FG's per game. He gained some speed...trust me, right? X is going to be healthy all season and have one hell of a great year. Assists and shooting percentages go way up. Lots of questions about this team. We fans and the team and the coaches learn a lot in the next few games. B1G is a meat grinder. Good luck team! I cannot stand B1G+ costing extra. But I guess, I will apologize to my other half for spending $10. Tell her we saved $50 from going to the sports bar. Per game. You got my back? Knew you would.

One bourbon, one scotch and one beer...

LEO Lose at Every Opportunity

It was written a long time ago. IU plays for the loss. Tradition.

Playing for a field goal? Or Sorsby's arm is questionable?

Not that play.

Right on!

While that is very true...coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Chance to win the game right here.

Game on!

Our special team coach may be Murphy.

Nothing to this game! TD!

How many players on special teams... Never mind.
