I give at the Hoosier Loyalty level every year which is probably way too much for a guy that has been on the Season ticket waiting list since 2003. #Non-Alumni problems thebigweave, CR3AMnCR1MS0N, Walking Boot of Doom and 2 others 5 Quote

Talk about feeling conflicted, I want Crean gone but I have no faith in Glass to hire a top coach. This was a question I was going to pose - even if he DOES fire Crean, how much confidence do you have that he'll hire one of the top coaches? Now, I don't follow college football closely, but he's had a couple of opportunities with the football team and hasn't come close to that home run hire. This may be because it's just no feasible with our history/tradition of suckage, but that shouldn't be the case in basketball. For the record, I'm very nervous now about what caliber of coach FG might hire. Quote

Popular Post Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 15, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 15, 2017 My uncle works for Tom Spiece directly and even though the dude is going bankrupt he still donates a lot. He said that he had a meeting scheduled with him today but that he called and cancelled and said IU business as his reason. Sounds like a booster meeting is going down.

The old store on coliseum was my go to place for kicks as a kid. You are absolutely right. Spiece Fieldhouse was the reason I fell in love w basketball. Tom always gave my uncle tickets to any event there. He still gives the select few employees through his stores a lot even while bankrupt. My uncle became a season ticket holder directly from Tom. He is a stand up guy. I hated his stores closing though. He always had cool memorabilia. He probably knows whats going on and I have been blowing my uncle up for days now but Tom isnt gonna say anything to anyone. He is one of the few RMK loyalist that gave Crean a real shot. Sounds like he is on board with him leaving though. I know he used to donate a few hundred thousand a year until his stores closed. Nor sure what all he has out there still or in the Indy area.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app CR3AMnCR1MS0N, FortWayneHoosier and Chris Nieman 3 Quote

Hoosier Guy Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Yeah if there is truly a booster meeting tonight, I'm pretty sure Crean is gone. Boosters aren't gonna have a meeting with Glass if everything was gonna stay the same Kepner and Uwe Robb 2 Quote

Everyone was offered tickets in 08-09 on waiting list and the waiting list was exhausted at that point. I as well as family bought in 2010-2011 with no waiting list. It returned in 12-13 when IU was number 1 and has remained with at least a small no. of people on it since. Quote

Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app The store on Coliseum has been closed a long time but the fieldhouse is still open. My step daughter goes there for daycare sometimes. If I had the means while I lived in the fort I would've been a gym member there but it was too expensive. Quote
