IUrocker

Archie said he could see all 4 guys who are out be gone for the rest of November

Yeah I think you may be right. I remember him being at the line when they were chanting so it was prob directed towards him.

I know the crowd was chanting overrated earlier. I actually don’t think Marquette is overrated at all....IU is seriously just better and should be ranked as such.

I find that half especially impressive knowing we’ve got 4 really good players in sweatpants tonight.

Well it’s just down right obvious what’s going on here...now that Crean isn’t in town dominating the state of Indiana anymore, Fran thinks he can come in and grab anyone he wants

Ahhh, the feeling of thinking it's not good enough to get 3 star recruits and knowing now that we expect way better. This feeling is so much more exciting than the feeling of "ok good, at least he's a 3 star". This season and beyond can't get here soon enough. I've already scheduled handfuls of my vacation days off work to make sure i'm home to watch games that fell on work nights, haha

Haha, you bet I would!

Saw a pretty good comment on my Facebook newsfeed from a Purdue fan. “Congrats IU, your almost as good as Purdue now.” (And yes, he said “your”, that’s wasn’t me, lol)...but yeah, I don’t know why I can’t just laugh that stuff off knowing they’re full of it. We’ll be almost as good as them now, hmmm....Most Purdue fans just really get under my skin.

I loved how during this whole process, Romeo was able to keep a stone cold poker face over the whole thing, and then after he put the IU hat on, he couldn’t keep the smile off his face.

I bet Bryce Drew paid him to tweet that...

We send you our deepest apologizes rest of the Big Ten...Archie has officially brought IU back...

Time for those doors to open

This announcement has me in such a good mood that I may venture into drinking the Oberon i bought earlier AND my wife’s wine. Yes, I know that mixing probably won’t make a guy feel very well, but Romeo to IU + off work until Friday =

I wonder if that rear stage is just a platform for media video

Hmm yeah, not sure about the rules on whether or not Archie could be there, so that’s a good point. I saw somewhere that someone heard Romeo has already signed his letter if intent, which would mean Archie could/would be there. Is there truth to Archie being able to be there if Romeo really has already signed his LOI? Not sure how all that would work.

Someone posted on another site that Archie’s black Escalade was seen parked at the New Albany school lot. No idea if it’s actually his vehicle, but wouldn’t doubt the fact that he would indeed be there for the event.

Yep! My wife and I love to go to their Eccentric Cafe as well. Oberon one of my favorites, and then the other is their Amber Ale. Another really good brewery in that area we enjoy going to is One Well. They have quite a few awesome selections.

I may be younger than quite a bit of people on here (being 32 yrs of age), but one of my wife and i’s biggest hobbies is traveling around trying different craft breweries and wineries......and talking about Romeo to IU, of course!

Well hey, this being alcoholics talk has gotten us to page 710

Yes sir, Yeungling is one of my favorites as well, and then I’ve always been a big craft beer drinker. There is a brewery in Michigan called Belle’s and they make my favorite couple of beers ever. A couple of my buddy’s at work brew their own beer and have won state competitions with some of their stuff. Having the taste for craft beer for so long, I can’t stand domestic stuff like Bud Light, Miller, etc. No flavor.

Yep me as well. I can’t drink too much without getting a headache.

Haha, not in a dry county, but I do have a pretty dry wallet after the weekend thanks to all the wine my wife went and bought when she went wine tasting at a bunch of winery’s up in Michigan with a group of friends this last weekend. If I go buy beer she’s gonna say “...but I just bought all this wine”...I’m telling you guys, wine it is...lol

I keep seeing stuff about there’s supposed to be special guests appearing at the announcement. Aside from anyone it could be, it’d be cool if Archie and staff, as well as the rest of the 2018 commits were all there for it.

We literally have no worries for the next 25-30 years.
