ALASKA HOOSIER

they have to have Purspew in the tourney for diversity reasons

Just purchased my "official" IU hawaiian shirt today! [attachment=1207:$_14.jpg] Now, looking for some candy striped swim shorts to wear to the games

I like your screen name

If anyone else wants to link on "untappd" , my username is tikka717

@JuwantGrimeShakes - just found you on untapped. sent out a request.....

@waynefleekhoosier-that was a joke BTW

@waynefleekhoosier- shut your trap!

@hothoosiermom5- are you going to the Maui classic next year? My wife and I have been saving for it since it was announced! Unfortunately, that is the only game we will get to see in the near future. No basketball games is the only negative to living in Alaska. Hawaii is actually closer and cheaper to fly to than if we were to fly back down to the Lower 48. If you are there, i'll have to buy you one of those foofy drinks with an umbrella to say, "thanks" for all the inside info and motivation you have given us.

no kidding! If he had stayed, i think the program would have won the banner we would have an alternate universe. what a shame!

yeah, yeah I know....He should have stayed another year so i could learn to spell his name

I really like that hook at the end of the vid. Reminded me of Kirk Hastings.  

My family moved to Southern Indiana my Sophomore year of HS. No idea what IU basketball was until i left HS (my sister went away to IU but still had no interest) and joined the Army. My Sergeant was a huge IU fan and I had to "learn" to be a fan... One night i was on duty where i had to stay in the barracks and it happened to be the 1987 championship (my sister was at that game in N.O.) That game did it for me. That night, i knew that one day i would graduate from Indiana. in 1993, I got out of the Army and got accepted to Indiana University. There was no turning back! My wife who is from Wales, UK was introduced to Indiana basketball when we were dating, she ended up falling in love with all things Indiana and actually decided to attend college (she hasn't finished thanks to me getting called back into the Army to go fight the global war on terror and moving all the time) in Bloomington. Our family is a Hoosier family! I can honestly say that there we are the biggest Hoosier fans in Alaska!

@zimmerman- Commit to Indiana. You will be remembered for many years to come, and you will have an incredible education. Basketball is life in Indiana. no other university comes close. some may try, but their attention span concerning basketball is short. If you desire all of this and more. There is NO OTHER CHOICE.

I surely am not the only Hoosier that transplanted to Alaska! Is anyone else up here that i can link up with, drink beer and talk roundball?

I always felt like i was going to fall down the upper balcony steps....due to the amount of alcohol i had in me from a pre-game trip to Nicks and Irish lion

Has anyone got any updates? Maybe from a twitter or some inside info?

someone friggin' cloned Crean! :scratchhead:

That would be AWESOME

send me your username on there. i'll link up with you on it and motivate you to drink MORE

I think since we have all these damned earthquakes up here, it is fitting....until he signs with IU

have you fellow Hoosiers seen the app "UNTAPPD" ? You must download it! me and my mates enjoy trying new beer competitively. Yes, you end up drinking SH@T beer like Old Milwaukee, but it forces you to drink new beers that you wouldn't have tried before. Very fun. The biggest feature is you win BADGES!!!

  I'm changing my name to Alaska Shake!

Alaska IPA is pretty good. The problem is that they used to have an awesome IPA but since they went worldwide, they had to tone down the taste quite a bit. I wish i could get you my favorite....HOODOO IPA! The guy who used to make Alaska IPA left to start his own craft beer company ~ Hoodoo. We can't ship it and it isn't in bottles. You would enjoy
