Thanks - I’m late to the party as usual.

Have you seen a tip time for the U of Indy game? Last I knew it was still TBD on BTN+

Not my find but interesting nonetheless.

It will be interesting to see how actual attendance tracks vs season and general admission tickets sold. I attended my first women’s game last year for the sold out Purdue game with GA tickets. It was quite an experience but probably wouldn’t have done it that way again. Also attended NCAA games with reserved seats. So, my experience with how games are attended is very limited but I would guess that the big games will be sold out and near capacity attendance while some of the lesser opponent games will be sparsely attended with other games somewhere in between. I did buy season tickets and parking for the first time but honestly will likely only make a handful of the bigger games. With men’s season tickets too (and I rarely miss a game) it’s just too much time involved in driving to Bloomington for games given that my wife is not a sports fan and rarely goes with me. While not a sports fan, she is a great sport by supporting my IU basketball and football addiction though - just don’t want to push it any further. LOL

Your credit card won’t be charged until your request for tickets is honored. The priority deadline for requesting tickets just passed Friday so hopefully the ticket office will start the seat allocation process this week and folks will know soon if they got tickets and, if so, where their seats are located. It can’t be a bad sign that your “My Upcoming Events” reflects your mini-series ticket request. With approximately 8,000 or so tickets to distribute I have to think that your chances are good. Oh and, keep an eye on your account (and credit card charges) throughout the week as tickets & location will likely show up there before you get an email confirmation from the ticket office. Best of luck and Go Hoosiers!!!

Alabama will be there too.

No idea of your priority point standing but if you have gotten them in the past I would guess you’ll get them. Given that 3 marquis games are included this year demand will certainly be up. It really just depends on how many folks with higher point totals than you who would normally pass on buying the package decide to opt in this year. Have your previous mini-series seats been main level? If your request for main level cannot be filled are you willing to accept balcony seats? Regardless, best of luck and Go Hoosiers!!!

Throw harlequin and hover in there and you have yourself a song!

What’s the scoop on Cooper Flagg? Is Duke still in the driver’s seat? Is UConn a strong contender? Or is Kansas gaining traction in this one? Hope not as I could see it mattering with McNeely.

Was just perusing my ticket account and noticed that dates have been assigned to all games - B10 games included. Not sure if official yet but seems likely that the full B10 schedule could be released soon. It was released on September 8th last year. Maryland 12/1 OSU 1/6 Minnesota 1/12 Purdue 1/16 Iowa 1/30 PSU 2/3 Northwestern 2/18 Nebraska 2/21 Wisconsin 2/27 MSU 3/10

Poster on another site says full schedule will be out tomorrow. No mention if that will include times and TV networks.

I’m wondering who our early away B10 opponent will be and whether it will be played between the 11/16 Wright State game and 12/1 Maryland home game or between Maryland and the 12/16 Kansas home game. Oh and, for those who opted for mail delivery the tickets in my account show a print date of 9/14/23. That may or may not be accurate and regardless I wouldn’t expect to receive mailed tickets until mid-October.

Yes

Well then, glad it was Michigan who missed out on getting his slam dunk transfer commitment and not us - LOL!

I get your perspective but he’s a praying man so no such thing as random or minor. Glad he’s a Hoosier!!!

Donations made prior to June 30th will count towards your basketball priority points total. I suggest that you call the Varsity Club to get a feel for how different levels of additional donations will affect your seat location.

You just KNOW it will somehow end up being Maryland and we won’t get DICKinson out of the B10.

And I am heading to Bloomington for the IU/Ball State game so expecting my phone to start buzzing incessantly with news of the commitment. Fortunately with the pace of baseball games now days I’ll have ample time to check texts and respond between pitches.

Doing the same AND worrying about recruit decisions - have to learn to muti-task Scotty!

I’ll relax when I know that he isn’t visiting someone else on Monday….only half joking. Paranoia runs deep, into your life it will creep……….

And wouldn’t be surprised if last minute suitors are nipping at his heels. Give me an announcement and signing. Do portal transfers have to sign anything though? Or just enroll?

You talking about Ladyman’s Cafe back in the day? Another one I frequented was Gib & Denzils and no idea if they’re still around. Oh and, the old Hour House that became Jared’s Subway but that was typically a 2 in the morning breakfast experience. The Hour House special was 2 eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns and toast or English muffin for $.99! Give me Uptown for breakfast (or any meal for that matter) and Lennie’s for lunch and/or dinner - those are my long-time go tos.

You give me FAR too much credit for possessing wisdom and being level-headed. I ride the roller coaster of emotions through the peaks and valleys of IU basketball and football news just like everyone else here and just tend to keep extreme reactions that I experience to myself. Don’t always succeed in that regard either. Most recent example was me being publicly disgusted about IU football last year and how I had finally succeeded in making the emotional break after 50 years of fandom and buying season tickets. THIS was at last going to be the year that I would drop 2 of my 4 football season tickets and was only keeping 2 for basketball points purposes with no commitment to using them or planning my Fall weekends around IU football. Well, you probably already guessed it - I re-upped for 4 seats again this year. I’m just another chump!

It really does appear that a commitment was made and that another previously scheduled visit needs to be cancelled. The family didn't want news of the IU visit to be shared until the day of the visit so it stands to reason that the same stipulation was placed on the second school visit. I'm guessing that the family out of respect wants to quietly cancel the second visit without the school name being made public. Thanks to all who have shared info that allows me to believe this. I'll hold off on my elation until officially announced though - just part of being a Hoosier fan.

I like your use of the plural! But the "is" gives me pause. Which is the mistake? Hmmm...... LOL!
