To be fair, there hasn’t been any reliable info that there won’t be a scrimmage this year. I would still bet on it

I have yet to see any team in their midnight madness not scrimmage. Fan support is kind of important. You want to see that fan support lessen which is one thing highlighted to recruits from IU, then take away the scrimmage. Would be utterly stupid. Yeah let’s take away the one reason over 10k people show up to HH.

So basically IU has to be stuck in the past because the fanbase won’t get with the times. God forbid anything modern and hip be done. Wouldn’t want to piss of the blue haired crowd. No rappers, light shows, or anything cool. Just a pep band, cheerleaders with sweaters, and a scrimmage running the motion offense.
People who cover IU basketball have said that recruits don’t enjoy watching the scrimmage. They aren’t attending the event for that.

So you can't have a scrimmage with the other stuff you're wanting? It has to be one or the other? Again I ask, how do you know recruits don't want to see scrimmages? If no recruit has ever come out said it publicly, h as ve you talked to them privately?

This is more idiotic than any of the Fred Glass conversations. What in the hell does a scrimmage have to do with the other stuff? I would hate to insult the recruits by giving the paying customers what every team in the country has. Nothing like turning a crowd of over 10k into 2k for recruits if there were no basketball. But I guess you have to actually go to the event to understand it as a fan instead of being 50 living vicariously through a 16 year old.

Honestly I am more than curious to see how Romeo is fitting in and Justin Smith has improved than anything else during HH. Beyond that I hope to see a more confident Green manning the point.

Would really like to know if there is a scrimmage or not? Me and my kids would have a 4.5 hour drive one way. We won’t make the trip unless there is a scrummage

Can't you just let us argue, rather than coming in with your information and calm demeanor?

 

I'm with everyone that wants to see the scrimmage.  It's the best part.  Dunk contests miiiight be so hype, or they might be the opposite.  Last year's dunk contest was embarrassing.  

 

IUGradman, you make an important point.  There's room to consider the show, but don't discount that some of the old school charm is unique and attractive also.  We are one of the storied programs that can pull it off, and it would be foolish to discard it entirely.  Still, I get what you're saying regarding the optics of a program with pep bands and cheerleaders in sweaters.  Hilarious, but also:

Me too. I am not as far, but it would be pointless without it.

I’m ready for the season to start and as excited about any season since 2011-12. Archie has his recruits, and his players have a year under his coaching. I’m expecting big results and some beat downs like we haven’t seen in a long time.

Agreed. Not many excuses can be had for this season. Pretty refreshing.

And U of 6 brought in Katina Powell and the girls to perform and look what that got them.

I wouldn't mind having more glitter with a known rapper performing but doing away with the scrimmage would be less than ideal.

A rapper is fine, but no scrimmage = no Hysteria, because there will be few fans, the 2nd year.

I am very glad to hear this.  (Not particularly you men, just as a feeling from the fanbase)

This season's results will either quiet the doubters or embolden them.  No excuses

Agreed man. It’s what it is. Put up or shut up time. We need to win. We aren’t a championship contender but no reason to not be a team to talk about at the end of the season.

A cheerleader, regardless of sweater or no sweater, is rarely a bad thing.

Although, I prefer the latter.

If they have the scrimmage then they should do something to make it more interesting. I found it to be kind of boring last year. Hoosier Hysteria as a whole last year was a bit of a let down. I live out of state so I won't be there this year unfortunately, but I hope it's better this time around.

Thanks for the post...from the sound of it, this is going to be the most expensive HH to date and there is A LOT in store that should make for an amazing time. Also sounds like we're gonna be getting a peek at the new locker room via scoreboard my guess. I'll be there BRIGHT AND EARLY as I hope the rest of you will be as well!

Its an IU basketball fix but overall pretty boring in my book. Doubt we attend this year.

I feel we should be a championship contender but not a favorite. The tournament is a bit of a crap shoot imo and this team should have some tools to contend.

Agreed. An excellent big man and a guard can get you in the mix.
