Question. I saw the tweet that was a “ We want—- Dawson” chant. Sent to Dawson.

Kind of cool but also kind of odd and maybe over the top.

Anyway, what would make this a recruiting violation? Could it be ever?

If the twitter account was from the university it probably could be a secondary violation if I had to guess but from a fan account no violation.
While I would say it’s over the top, the hysterics guys have been doing it for awhile with him. During his official the family got a kick out of the social media stuff. Not my cup of tea though

I’m not looking to spread any rumors, just wondering if anyone closer to Bloomington has heard this...please know this is at least second-hand information, but has anyone heard Knight might make a return at the OSU game?

Can't confirm nor deny, but that would be the game he'd be back for.

Gene is an absolute stand up guy. I bartended one summer  at the Lonestar Steakhouse in Lafayette because I needed take a summer course at the local Ivy Tech that wasnt offered on campus. Gene would come in every Wednesday night with the same to-go order totaling $85 and tipped $100. Every reciept he got from me had a written “Go Hoosiers!!!  note on it. He’d chuckle every time, chat for a minute and take off. As a college kid, that extra money meant the world to me. I’ll remember it all long as I live.

I met Gene at a charity golf event.  He was so kind to everyone, just a really good person.  He was very humble and laid back.  I remember thinking how he could show such fire on the bench and actually be this sweetheart of a man.  Gene and Bob look great in that picture too.

Have never heard anything but great stuff about him. And, yeah, when he would scowl at something a ref said, wave him off and cut loose with his trademark “Oh Bulls**t!”,  it did kind of fly in the face of everything you always heard about him. And, it was fantastic,

Bob looks good in this photo.  Like it.

I rode back next to Gene and his wife with their little dog from Indy to CLT about 18 months ago.  They were really pleasant I didn't talk basketball at all.  The dog was acting up on his wife's lap and he turns to me and rolls his eyes.  Funny.

That’s my childhood right there.  Loved one guy and hated the other growing up.  Now nothing but respect for both.  Sure do miss those times of them together on the court though, damn they were fun!!
