Good for that kid. How cool would it have been at something like 22 to be calling an IUBB game?

When I was 22 it was 1993, I was about to get out of the Marines and my language would've had me fired before the first TV timeout. Lol

Lilly A Medicine Company court. 

 

It take it that it wasn't just putting their logo on the court.  It is no longer the Branch McCracken Court, but the Lilly A. Medicine Court?

My new pooch is ready for some IU basketball. 

She made me reup my BIG+ subscription so we can watch tonight's game, any other games that are cast off to streaming as well as the women's games over the next couple months. 

When I told her the funds would have to come out of the dog food/dog toys fund, she barked a few times. I'm pretty sure she was saying: "Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoosiers!"
