Sorry gang, not sure where to put this. So soon after losing CC, we have lost mile. I know he had many friends here.

Oh no! How sad...such a gracious man and a great IU fan.

Thanks for passing the sad news to this board bluegrass.

RIP Ken.

Geez, just read the post. How terribly tragic.

[TheWatShot 13,335]

I just talked to him a week ago. Crazy. 

[JaybobHoosier 11,821]

Just saw it over on HSN...... total shock and really upset about this! Mile and I go way back as posters on the old Scout board, then becoming moderators there at the end of the Davis era, and then creating HSN with him......

Will miss you Mile! Prayers to your family and friends, major loss to everyone and IU forums!

This is absolutely tragic. I’ve ‘known’ Ken from the old old scout boards. At least 15 years. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. It’s funny the emotions that one can possess for someone they’ve never actually met. RIP Mile. 
 

Ken. Eric. Gary. They are sitting around a table sharing wings and beers. RIP fellas.

He was an avid IU fan, made the old forums what they were (and still are on the new HSN) and seemed like a great guy. I know some knew him much better than I did, but I did enjoy hearing his stories as an older IU fan. RIP.

Prayers to the Milehi family! He’s been pretty active on the boards recently, I thought. Crazy. By all accounts, a great guy, like most of us Hoosiers!

So sad to hear this! Mile was a wonderful ambassador for HSN and so encouraging to so many of us. Praying for his family!

[OliviaPope40 6,297]

I'm at lost for words.

[mamasa 14,818]

I’m just kinda numb. Mile always had an encouraging word, and was so gracious when I first started in the IU sports community.

Very sorry to hear this. He was the person that told me about BTown Banners. I first began to communicate with him on the old Scout forum. Sad news.

wow. how terrible. so sad to hear. it's like losing any other IU legend. it's a big loss. thanks for the many great memories, mile, and thanks for the several board legacies you helped to create. hard to imagine an IU sports message board experience without you. peace and love.

[VPC 130]

Another Hoosier in heaven. RIP

Hate to hear that. Mile was a good guy and was a friend to anyone he met unless it was that Roy character from UNC. sad news

RIP Ken.  **** 2020

[Demo 17,350]

Wouldn’t know him from Adam, but whenever I checked out HSN Mile was unfailingly gracious to everyone. Losing a truly decent man who also happened to love IU sports before his time diminishes our world just a touch.

RIP, Sir.

TrustinRoy.   Lmao

We areactually discussing those things he always believed in. No matter what. 

Hated TrustinRoy 

Hated, for whatever reason,  Illinois

Bragged nonstop about the site(s) being free.

The Jeffries rule in recruiting 

How unless a player stayed 4 years, they were not a true Hoosier.

Etc etc etc

The man was a character for sure.

Thanks BTB, for the kind words. We have lost two legends (crester) back to back.

Godspeed to you all. Life is precious. Enjoy it, hug your loved ones and let go any of petty grudges you may have.

Oh, and cheer like crazy for our Hoosiers!

He was a mod on the scout site, wasn't he? There were a sh*t ton of Illinois trolls who used to spam that board back in the day. He mentioned getting a lot of nasty messages from some of them.
