Those would be considered hostile environments.

It's a pre-sale with deliveries expected in December.  I'll let you know then, but it's certainly 3 months out.

I did create space in my office at work already lol.

CBS, FOX, FS1, BTN, and Peacock are the main networks. The Empire Classic (UConn/Texas/Uof6) and probably the Auburn game will be in ESPN-ville. The exhibitions and one of the buy games will likely be on BTN+.

Some key upside takeaways from Jordy Hulls on the Hoosier Hysterics podcast today:

1. Trey Galloway has finally had a healthy summer and combined with his work ethic is set for a big year.
2. Mack Mbako can really shoot the ball. That was said by Jordy more than once. And he is fearless when he does so. With Kopp gone this is really important.
3. Malik Reneau has transformed his body this offseason. Expected to have a big, big year.
4. Gabe Cupps' work ethic is notably impressive.

That will likely be what sets Mgbako apart from the other off-season snipers IU has had the past few years. While those guys could shoot well in practice, they certainly weren't fearless and that hurt them in games by keeping them from shooting as well they did in practice and/or not taking enough shots.

Jalen Hood Schifino was not the most talented, but was the most fearless freshman we will ever see. When I hear Mack Mbako interviewed, his maturity level and self-confidence reminds me more of JHS than anyone else I can imagine. If Mbako could have some of that swagger?

 

By the way, there's at least one 2024 recruit that we are in pursuing in a major way that has the same personal attributes and maturity; Annor Boateng. Like JHS and Mbako, an impressively mature young man. Plays the tenor sax in the marching band and said in an interview a year ago he was leaning toward mechanical engineering or pre-med for his "first degree."

His recruiting work ethic alone is impressive, lol!

I think Mgbako will be special but I found it interesting the way he said how confident he is shooting it, and mentioned that several times.  So long as the shooting percentages are good, that’s great, but if not it’ll be something to keep an eye on.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Also, if someone on that board is looking for more outstanding content from here, I recommend that they re-post:

• " @Class of '66 Old Fart is charismatic, and extraordinarily charming and good looking"
• " @Stromboli is a spicy sandwich"

Anybody got the scoop on when we can expect Kansas tickets to go on sale? This is about a month later than KU put this game on sale last year so I'm getting quite antsy.

The Big Ten has to put out the conference schedule out first. The first Big Ten game is generally included in a pack so until the league decides to release their schedule (they are already a week later than last yr doing it) they cannot put the pack of games on holiday break (which includes Kansas) on sale. 

They cannot put single game tickets on sale for those holiday games until they sell the packs first which can't be done until schedule is out as described above. In other words until the Big Ten puts the schedule out the Kansas tickets cannot be put on sale.
