DD getting no love. Sent from my S7 using the BtownBanners App.

Morgan = game mvp. RoJo needs that confidence on offense. No complaints on D. Sent from my S7 using the BtownBanners App.

At the Lock and Key in Englewood Beach Florida, waiting on them to get this game on! Sent from my S7 using the BtownBanners App.

I thought his D was most improved, minus a few plays. He seemed really locked in. Need his 3's to fall again and he'll be fine.

I haven't been to AH in a few years. Hova lives here in the Haute with me. We're talking Hulman Center. Would love a BtownBanners meet-up at AH though!

We should hook up for a game here and see if the Trees are really that good.

Well dang. I just realized I passed 1,000 posts in this thread. Yay me! 9 point lead. Buckle up kids.

Yeah, but his defense has been better tonight than the last 3 years. Right? If he were hitting, fire away son, fire away. Rather see Robert get those shots, as we know he can nail them.

Newkirk pulling that 3 and RoJo not pulling the trigger. Don't get it. Mental?

Also, liked as the camera caught right there at the timeout, Robert helping explain something to CuJo. Right in front of CAM. Again, not throwing the towel in on Rob.

I believe so.

Hopefully that 3 gets RoJo going offensively.

Sluggish. I'm not giving up on RoJo or Josh just yet. RoJo needs to find that shooting swagger again. Think the Hoosiers pull away early and win comfortably.

I don't get the empty seats, the booing of the team I heard about on Friday. Learning year. My trees were unconscious. Tonight though, not sure what is going on. Some of these freshmen are gonna be good though. /end of my rambling.

I still haven't seen enough out of either team to know who should have the advantage. On paper, the Hoosiers are the better team. Top to bottom? This is the most athletic Sycamore team in, well, since I have been following them since 1996. If the Hoosiers come out flat, they could be in for a long night. Scott is the Sycamores best player by far, but, he can be a bit out of control, which could help the Hoosiers. I hate these games. Being a life-long IU fan, but a Sycamore grad. Give me good basketball, and I'll be happy at the end of the night. Having said that, Hoosiers win comfortably. Just my guess.

In B-Town. Daughter had a gymnastics event this morning. Would love to be going to the game. Have to settle for Fisch on the drive back to the Haute. On a side note, glad it's finally basketball season and I can come put of BtownBanners hibernation! Hope you all have been doing better than me. Sent from my S7 using the BtownBanners App.

We've been together 18-1/2 years. Married almost 14 of them. We've made it through some tough times. Some friends have noticed things that could suggest a mid-life crisis. I have a former co-worker who was in my wife's shoes. Treated her husband bad, until she talked it out. Now, they're expecting their 2nd child, so there is always hope. I won't. I just don't do it in front of the little one. My wife won't say it back right now, and I guess our daughter asked her about why she didn't, so as to not upset things, I only tell her in email, and every time we talk when the little isn't around. Thanks all. It is appreciated more than you know.

Been on my "summer break" from all sports forums. 1st, prayers for all whom have asked. 2nd, and this going to be long, My wife and I have been struggling. Bad. She's not been right since her father passed away 3-1/2 years ago, and we've not been right since then, and, it's gotten worse since I moved back home from travelling the country for work. It all came to a head on the 4th of July. We had a disagreement in Menard's, and on the car ride home, I told her it sounded as if she wanted me to move out. She basically said, yes, that was where this was headed. We've talked about counseling in the past, but never followed through, which is my fault, as I was scared to face my demons.My work has helped me behind the scenes to find a therapist here that falls under our insurance, and I've been 3 times already. It's helped me. She told me the classic "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" line on the 4th, and she said there is no way I can win her love back. Challenge accepted. It begins with me fixing me, then working on us. Why she's never gone to talk to anyone after her father's passing is beyond me, but I'm hoping by taking the first step, we can find that spark again. She's been to a therapist once, and it going for her 2nd time this week. Hopefully it helps her work on her issues.I don't want our daughter to come from a broken home. We've struggled to reconnect once I moved home from being on the road for work. I told her let's go talk to someone, and she said we should have done it a long time ago. I was honest and told her I was scared. Scared to face my demons head on. I'm still scared, but, she's my soul mate. Her and my daughter are my whole reason for living. For going to work everyday. Before anyone gets concerned, no, I'm not suicidal. Whether we fix this, I need to be here for my daughter. I promised her I would never leave her, and I intend to keep that promise.Please, if you are the praying type, say a prayer that we can work this out. I've lost my way. In life, my faith, all of it. I'm shaking as I type this. Folks around me at work are stepping up to help me with a few major construction estimates that I need to get done. We've had some good days, mixed in with a few bad ones, but baby steps is where I'm at right now. Some days, thing seem "normal", except for me telling her I love her, and her saying "I know." She said she hopes we can fix this, and she can find that feeling for me again.My birthday was the 18th, and she spent quite a bit of money on a new bottle of cologne. We are still planning on taking our Disney trip after Thanksgiving, so we'll see how that goes. There are mixed signals/emotions coming from her, so like I said. I'm taking baby steps, and one day at a time until we can find some common footing again.Thanks Hoosier Family, with all of my heart. Pappy

Well, Billy D does have Victor on his team, sooooooo.......................................

Stupid work and client servers are slow. Can't stream. However, a fraternity brother said it best: Crean took the job, because "It's Indiana." Crean lost the job, because "It's Indiana."

In like Flynn! Sent from my S7 using the BtownBanners App.

Cripes. 1,019 pages. That's like 45 more than when I left work last night. Sad part about the hour drive, is zoning out to 22,000+ songs on the iPod, then, not really thinking about things once home. Until the ESPN app gives the notification sound. Butterflies in stomach, until, yup, just the Pacers game has tipped. Boooooooo!! Every time the app dinged last night. Even after 10 I was excited. Nope, just the Cubbies had started. Double boo! So, by reading the last few pages I'm assuming Crean is back and that I'll be spending more time at the Hulman Center and not focusing on the Hoosiers next fall?

Tis blank?
