So I Met Oladipo Tonight...

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

That's a bit of good news on my end! In the midst of all the crap going on at IU this year, I got to shake the hand of one of the greatest Hoosiers to ever put on the uniform.

Forgive my excitement, but it is a high point in my life. Unfortunately, the guy behind me couldn't take a picture for anything.

The best he could do, apparently.

Screw the picture.  Your memory is 100x better!  Congrats brother!

Just tell everyone you were too good looking so the camera had to be blurred out

Haha it's not his fault, Oladipo's Speed is too fast for smart phones to catch him. Did you say you blame him for IU's struggles this year?! Clearly I'm joking, but it is kinda his fault lol

That's cool!

What's the deal with former IU stars and blurry pics? I have a pic of my daughter with Cody and its blurry. Sad thing is, I can't blame it on anyone but me.

Was in Orlando with the family over Xmas break. Got some Cyber-Monday tickets to the Magic game.

 

We were there early enough for the shoot-around. My 7 1/2 is a serious IU basketball freak. He has not missed a minute of a game (thanks to the DVR and BTN) since the start of the 12 win season. The kid shoots for 45 minutes a day in the driveway and wears IU bball gear to his little league baseball games if we let him. 

 

Anyway, Vic comes off the court and towards the tunnel; I give the little guy my IU hat and a Sharpie and he practically leaps over the tunnel railing yelling "pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease". Victor sees him, we snap a mediocre phone picture, and VO signs the IU hat with "Victor Oladipo, #4, GO IU". Loved that he didn't put his new number with the Magic on there.

 

The best.

I LOVE that he signed it #4. He must not have an autograph deal. I wish those were never invented. I'm not an autograph guy, but the look on little kids faces when they get one is always priceless.
