We have Buc-ee’s in Texas, it’s almost a cult thing, have to stop at a Buc-ee’s on any road trip, big, size of small grocery, several types of fresh jerky and pastries and tons of types of snack mixes etc

That's not a gas station, its an everything store that happens to have a crap ton of fuel pumps. I went by one in Virginia this spring but unfortunately it was about 10-14 days before its grand opening. Here's an idea of the place for those out of the know.

Wish this was a home game. I’d have 90% confidence in a win. But at Rupp with a desperate team?  10-15% for us.   

[AKHoosier]

Man, crazy how doom and gloom they are over on UK boards.

If we get up to a lead early, things could get ugly for them. Home court advantage could turn into a disadvantage awfully quick.

They already sound like we did during year 3 of Woodson.

IDK. Maybe trying not to highlight how good we were because it begs the question who was responsible for the decline.  

I’d buy that for past admins but Dolson and Whitten kind of convince me more everyday that they get it. I think (hope) they’ll get it sorted out.  
 

If we keep it within the spread, i’ll come away thinking we’re ready for B1G road games. Not expecting a win but one would be pretty big for the team and program.

Luckily for us Hoosiers still in Indiana, they're going to be building one in Greenwood next year and another one in Boone County by the end of the decade.

Plus... I did take a photo with the goober.

Well, the Crossroads of America should probably have some Buc-ee’s.  I imagine they’ll do well.

Their road signs are hysterical and iconic- really funny, and they draw you in. Parking lot always full— they’re only on the major interstates in Texas, and on our road trips over a good 15 years plus it’s a must stop- total cult lol

We could do a small plaque featuring Woodson, Archie and Buckner with the deets.

There's a Buc-ee's being built on I-10 just west of Phoenix... seems like it's taking forever to build.

When I was growing up in Indiana, it was Stuckey's and their "world famous" pecan log.

Add in Crean, Sampson, and Davis, and place them at the bottom of the urinals.

Isn’t Indiana getting a Buc-ee’s next year? 
 

(This relates to the due to Lexington being in proximity of an Buc-ee’s. So of course we have to compare which will be better in the foreseeable future).

Apparently Miles got over the flu and didn't share it with his teammates.

[Dave from Dayton]

How is the weather in Lexington?  Is there going to be a significant turnout of IU fans?

I remember being there for the NCAA tournament games against Duke and Akron in 2002.  The UK fans were so very against Duke that they absolutely did cheer unreservedly for IU.  That was greatly appreciated.  

F...UK.

A sign every 10 miles!

Kentucky loses this game and Pope may get fired......I would rather play a less motivated team, they will be ready, so I hope we are!

[Hoosier DaDa]

Haven’t logged on for a bit. Super happy to log on this evening and see the site is working. And I’m psyched about Barkley and Dickie V doing the Kentucky Indiana game. I just found that out while watching the Kansas and NC State game. This should be epic.

[Hoosier DaDa]

I think Tom Crean might start crying

We were there too. Never thought I'd see UK fans rooting for us. Great atmosphere.

I just watched a Reel of the Heisman finalist walking in and  Mendoza and Sayin was there just chatting away. It’s pretty cool.
