I’m going to try my best to make a daily post here. Someone hold me accountable!! Haha. 
 

Things are starting to pick up at as far as work goes. The dopamine I received from hearing the Bruce Pearl rumors was enough to have me moving with a little pep in my step today. 

 

oh….. almost forgot….. it was refreshing seeing the Hall rock tonight. The women put on a show and it’s pretty incredible what Moren has done with this program. It’s only a matter of time before a whole generation of elite girls from the state dream of playing for IU.
 

Also, it serves as a good lesson for anyone who thinks our fanbase is toxic and one of the primary reasons for our MBB struggles. We know ball. Thats not coming from a place of arrogance either. We won’t be convinced that bad basketball is good basketball. They aren’t going to beat us into submission and get us to pretend that we are enjoying it.  We know the game too darn well. We grow up with access to SO MANY great coaches at a very young age. Basketball is cheap and accessible here. I coach my son’s 3rd grade basketball team and we have installed a couple variations of a motion offense, run numerous SLOBS, BLOBS. 8 year olds. And if I don’t coach my @$$ off on the sideline we will get beat by any of the other coaches (all of us played for very good high school teams and some played in college). I’m not saying any of this to brag. It’s just staggering to me when I sit back and think about it. Canada is this way with hockey and Indiana is this way with basketball. Give us a guy on that sideline that can win and you’ll have the best home court advantage in college basketball. That will travel to neutral sites too.

Finally Friday! Headed to Chicago this afternoon to see my first Blackhawks game in Chicago (lifelong 'hawks fan and have seen them play outside of Chicago, but never at United Center). Reservations at The Berghoff (favorite restaurant in Chicago), hit up a couple of bars, nice little getaway!

Ginos East - or your other favorite Chicago pizza stop, Gotta get pizza in Chicago while you're there, and do the Lake Shore Drive, talk about scenic -- BTW the weather has been great there recently (my son's finishing up at NW) - Enjoy!

I'm a Pequod's pizza guy! Grab a Chicago dog at the game.  Lake Shore Drive is gorgeous! We did architecture boat tour one time, that was really fascinating.
