I'll take Duke over pUKe. UCLA drubs Nova, and TX slaps Zags around.

You're over thinking it, and giving them way too much credit....IMO

Believe it or not, I was gonna drive make the 12 hour drive (1-way) to attend, but when I discovered it was general admission seating, decided I'd rather go to a real game. Glad I didn't make hotel reservations and change my schedule around to make the trip. Gonna attend the OSU game in Jan. Should be a sell-out and roof raising noise I hope !!

Unless he's being held...sure hope not.

Any Kopp sightings today?

I can't help but think that this whole Hoosier Fan Fest was thrown together at the last minute. To hold it 3 days prior to the opening game just doesn't make any sense, to me at least. Might make sense for the HH guys travel arrangements to attend the opener, but since the format was a clone of Hoosier Hysteria in the first place, why not just charge admission for HH? Or if not legal, replace HH with the fanfest? I'm not against trying to raise NIL $$. But I'm not surprised by the scrimmage getting cancelled. Waiting for the slam dunk competition shoe to drop next.

I checked my list and #842 was only about ½ day down on the list...

Not a 100% sure, but I THINK I'm actually older than you. I know I'm older than dirt. Can you beat that?

That's reason #842 why I'm not on any social media.

You certainly could be right, but I wouldn't think them being there as "spectators" would be "illegal" or against any rules. After all, it is where they work.... But I don't know, I'm just an old fart.

Sorry...but that doesn't make any sense. Tough to imagine Miller carrying a ton of cash around Vlogs don't pay in cash...at least YT doesn't Could be "Magic Money" (fake $$ to perform magic tricks) (just speculation on my part)

Why start a burner acct if true?

But just for entertainment value....what's the supposed fake report about?

Based on the "signals" I'm picking up, I doubt it will be a full house. Still lots of promoting everywhere I look on IUMBB twitter, HH twitter (naturally) and some of the players. Personally I think the announced format is hurting. It's a "perceived" clone of the same event that occurred a few weeks ago. Since it's to benefit the players only, I wonder if the coaching staff will be there. I would hope so. I was planning on attending but when they said it was general admission seating (for the most part), I decided to go to a real game instead. 11 hour drive for me. Hope I'm wrong and it's a complete sell out !!

IIRC it wasn't an "official" video. Taken by a fan and posted on his YT channel. Not there anymore (probably at the request of the staff)

IU 78 EMU 62

Wait til Rob or X put some real defense on him....maybe we can get that up to 10-12 !

Kind of surprised to see PU with 21 turnovers. Hope they keep that up !!

That's my opinion. I've spent a big part of my adult life experiencing IU competing for Big 10 titles. I expect it. I hope a lot of other fans do to.

Agreed. But several wanted to post details like 3's, FT's and win by 11. I chose to discuss the 3's. That's been our biggest weakness for the past several years, with FT's a close 2nd. Guys want to take me to task for discussing it? Fine. I'm a big boy. 34% is better than 24% but less than 39%. Glad we "won" whatever the circumstance and format. That's always a good start.

For us "Old Farts" (of which I may be the oldest on here) I've witnessed a lot of ups, and a lot of downs. Fortunately, there have been far more ups, than downs since 1970. I'm used to us competing for Big 10 titles. I believe Woody will get us there. The question is when? None of us know. I'm just anxious.

Oh...I have many. Just haven't talked about them. Too early, because I haven't seen them play a real game. But this stat was one that was shared.

It's called a snapshot of progress. And yes, if we don't compete for a B1G title (notice I didn't say "win a B1G title") then we're no better off. I believe we'll be much better, but good enough? Too early to say, but everyone has there own measuring stick. Mine is just different than some others. To each his own.

OK...OK I get it. You guys are pumped because we "won". And that is always good. I don't remember, what did we shoot from 3 in the Bahama's? I have no doubt we will be competitive this year. I just want us to compete for the B1G title. And not settle for something less. I don't think we're thinking like that, but I don't give a damn how we compare to the last 4 years. I care how we get a B1G title.

Of course...but I"m not looking for "better", I'm looking for Greatly improved. Too early to judge, I know, and we don't know the details of the scrimmage, but 8 for 23 won't get it done in the B1G.
