. Just look for the loud bald female behind the bench. Either standing and fussing or sitting and shouting. I'm going to have my home IU jersey "5" on.

When I was there I love it. And I have a home jersey, so you know I was feeling it in there. And the parents sit on the bleachers right behind the team. My brother told me not to start hollering at the coach like I did when Troy was playing Rec., AAU, High school and at Oak Hill. I hollered at the coaches as much as I got on Troy for making inexcusable shots, fouls, and turnovers. YEAH, I AM ONE OF THOSE MOMS. I stay on Troy, even after the games I've watched on TV. I tell him everything he needs to do, and what he shouldn't do. Hahahahaha. He goes, "Come on mom, you never played!" I tell him, "But I've been watching basketball since I was 4 and Boo started playing at 12 years old. My sister and I was dragged to every Jr. high, High school and a lot of the college games plus I was a cheerleader for 13 years. So don't tell me what I Do not know!" Then we laugh and he listen. I can't wait till the season starts. I am so hyped and AMPED UP!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Pressumably that pic was back when he was Mookie not Troy?

I'm going to try my best. It just cost a lot to get to Indiana on my budget but with God, all things are possible. I know we will be in New York and Maryland in Dec and Feb. last year we went to 4 home games. Hopefully my mom and I can get to that many this year. I saw more on TV. I like the TV also. I get instant replay and can here the commentator comments. Even last year I wanted to throw bricks and boulders at my television because of their comments. Lol. I truly believe this year is going to be amazing with the chemistry the guys all have with each other, from what Troy says. They seem to be closer and not out for themselves, but for the "TEAM!" That to me is WHAT CHAMPIONSHIPS are made of. WE ARE GOING FURTHER THIS YEAR. I FEEL IT!!

the only thing is I've lost 50lbs since that "NOW" picture. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Can yall tell I'm missing my BABYBOY!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Okay so I see that they put the freshman on recruits. Ohhhhh I see that's how they do it. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Since Trot got to IU, all the recruits have been assigned to him and he is the one that's suppose to show them HOW GREAT OT WOULD BE AT IU!! I think, and I lay be a bit bias, he had done a pretty good job so far. Now with him being a Sophomore, I'm not sure if he will still be doing that. I know Troy has always been, since he was 2 years of age, a PEOPLE'S person. He made friends everywhere we went. Used to make me wonder what my son is saying to these kids. Lol

Luke Fischer wasn't hurt he didn't like the culture, I believe. He was home sick and that was a wasted SCHOLARSHIP!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

oh Wow and YES you are. He is gaining the same exposure, his is with "as a whole" that's the only difference. But I will tell you to tell your son THANK YOU FOR SERVING MY COUNTRY!!

Praise The Lord, some folks DO UNDERSTAND

When you speak from your heart and experience, then it's easily said. Also when you have children, we all want them to be perfect Angels, but in a real world like we live in, there are all kinds of temptations, things we never heard of growing up, ex: drugs & alcohol, haters and crazy media, (which I had a personal experience with) that it doesn't make a difference if you do call yourself a "protective and loving" parent, they still will make their own choices and their own mistakes when they get older that we always don't approve of and make us want to put our hands on them and shake sense into them. But we have to, we must continue to encourage them, lift them up and love them even harder because life has life on life situations that we as parents can't always save them from. So in saying that, I want to publicly say to Stan's and Yogi's parents "GOOD JOB" and I will always support your son's and I have your back

Thank God. I really think our young men are good and have good intentions they just make immature choices and life is a learning lesson. Besides the "EMBARRASSMENT" to the school, their teammates, their families, they embarrassed themselves and the many of us who love them and are proud of them. In my opinion, they are still kids, but their ages say they aren't. I truly believe they have learned a valuable lesson and to be honest, there are more that will learn a lesson. Some of us have to have "experiences" to be our best teacher. I WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! And at "48" years of age, I still make mistakes and bad choices. Not like that because I don't drink, but because we grow and we learn something new every day and at times, we/I slip. But it's not the choice or mistake that matters or the slip. What matters is the getting up, learning a lesson and not doing it again. That's what makes us grow. These boys are good boys and Patty Williams, along with(I know) others are still proud of them and what they will grow into and become. Thank you for the update!!

YOU are welcomed. Sorry, I do get "long-winded" and go on and on and on like the energizer bunny

I saw those signs postec last year Coach Crean invited my famuly and I to a practice when we were in town. That was the time when Coach Knight's son was there with another man. They go really hard at practice too. I asked Troy after practice was that just a show or is that how yall practice for real. Troy was like "Mom, that was nothing, he took it easy on us. Its way more running, running plays, drills, and yelling." Troy says they practice like they are in a real game thats why he be so tired after practiCe. Then after practice Coach Crean had the whole team line up and one by one they shook each of my family member's hand and introduced themselves to us, but they each gave me a HUG!!!

I will not be able to attend HOOSIER Hysteria and y'all know I am HIGHLY UPSET about that!

You all are funny!

Oh that's fine. My son is a loveable type child. He's like his mom a lot. We love people all kinds and all types. We both are very humble and thankful for the little things so when the big things come, and they will, if it's in the Holy One's Will, we appreciate it because we have worked hard for it. No matter what it is. You all are kind and it really depends on this season to come what will happen, but I already know.........☺️

HMMMM, should I tell or shouldn't I tell???? THAT IS THE QUESTION......, naaaa I will keep that one to myself!

If you don't mind me asking, what happened? I as at, well my family and u were at a practice last year and Bobby Knight's son was there sitting in the stands talking with Coach Crean for a little bit. I thought they all got long quite well. I had no idea there was beef going on. Can something explain what and why in about 2-4 sentences? I have to read my night scriptures and send Troy his scriptures and get ready to go to sleep. If it's not to be known publicly, I understand and thanks anyway. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Awwwwww that is so very sweet of you to say. But that son of mine loves to hear the crowd owwing and ahhhhing that's what really hyped him up and he has been that way since the summer of 9th grade going into his sophomore year at Phoebus high. As long as he makes every dunk mom dukes (me) will be proud because it's embarrassing to miss. And I already told him, son mommy is going to laugh at you and very loudly I must say. He knows mom doesn't hold back anything, I just don't curse anymore when I get on him about anything especially his game. I can be the proudest and his worst critic!! I sugar-coat NOTHING. And his grandma is worst then I am. THATS CALLED LIFE!

Ahhh I'm not telling. If you pay me, just might let you in on the secret. Hahahahaha!!! Naw, my baby boy knows his mom dukes all to well and I kind, sorta, talk too much at times. So it will be a surprise to me also. I just hope my crazy son, with his exotic mind don't kill hisself in the process. I'm going to have a little talk with him a day or two before the contest to see if I can calm his hyper self down. I doubt if it will work, but he will know how I feel about him trying to do a backflip and somersault and dunking with his feet

Thank you sweetie. That is very kind of you to say
