We traveled all over the state since there is nothing to do, at least you were in the eastern part lol, western OK is a different world. People really do not understand how isolated it is. That base was 70 minutes from a Target hahaha. I like OKC and Tulsa, southeast part of the state is beautiful too. To your other point, 100%. I would absolutely love to see UNC, Kansas, Duke or Kentucky to wander the wilderness like we have and see what those fanbases look like. IU is different, whether anyone nationally wants to believe it or not, and I will die on that hill. I’ve been through that area and you were really in the middle of nowhere, lol, glad you’re gone! Yeah, I don’t remember missing one IU game the whole time I lived down in Oklahoma, but I do remember even back in the 80s It seemed like we were always the underdog in the tourney Playing with a lot of Juco transfer transfers etc. and not really getting very many blue Chip players even back that long ago. I think the movie Hoosiers helped us out a lot too.lol VFury and OKHOOSIER 2

I would love an answer to this if someone knows. Also entirely possible they just wanna watch IU-Purdue from awesome seats and don't care about the coaching situation since they are both relatively close by lol EasyEJay, Chris007, thebigweave and 2 others 5

That’s my opinion from reading this thread. This isn’t putting down any person of faith, as I am a person of faith. my opinion is we need the best basketball coach. I don’t need a morally superior person as that head coach. Look at Harbaugh and Ryan Day. Both great people but play in the grey and won it all. I’m fine with that level of dark arts. I’m not ok with what Beard did.
