We do sit on the wood bleachers. I think their wood. But I can call Coach Crean and he can hear me and turn around. I did the first time. I said WTH ARE YOU DOING? Then my mom hit my arm and said shut up Patty. Hahahahahaha

Funny, I've said the same thing a few times about Crean.  Granted I'm sitting on the couch watching on TV so he can't hear me.

 

BTW, Dan Dakich is a former IU player under Bob Knight and did a good job defensively against Michael Jordan when we played UNC in the 1984 Sweet 16.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Former Player from the early 80's, got fame from holding Jordan to way under his average in the 84 tournament when IU knocked off top seed UNC.  Former asst. Coach under Bob Knight for a long time, former Bowling Green Head Coach, and he was our Interim Coach before Coach Crean took over in 2008.  He has his own AM talk show on 1070 WIBC.  A lot of IU fans dislike him because he can be obnoxious, over the top, and an A Hole.

Sounds like you guys have better usual seats than the game I was at. I was at a non-conference game in the 2012-13 season sitting next to Yogi's family, directly behind Jordy's, and Watford's were two rows up. We were halfway up section J.

Dan Dakich is a former IU player, assistant coach, and briefly head coach. He is now a sportscaster for Big Ten games. He is a huge jerk to IU during his casting for... no reason at all. I think he does the ESPN Big Ten games. His son plays (played?) for Michigan as a walk-on, was always super nice about him. But, the important thing is, that he is the announcer on TV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Dakich

He announces the games like 80% of the time on TV! How could you both ignore the most relevant fact and the whole reason he was brought up? Way to make me sound like a crazy person with obscure references.

Oh I'm so apologize!!! I have to see who he is so I can speak to him in person and tell him to watch his mouth about my son. If he does say something I don't care for.

Oh I think I know who you are referring too because I had to turn the mute in my tv before when I was watching the game and he was the commentator. He was a rude-azz!! I remember now. Ughhhhhh

Sorry Bro, you're right.  I was kinda lumping that in with my A Hole reference, but yes the majority of the disdain for Dakich from the IU faithful is the fact that he does way too many games of our's on ESPN, and most of the time he talks way too much and hates on IU.  I will say that when we were number 1 in the country he was not nearly as obnoxious, but we sucked pretty bad last year and most of his remarks were somewhat on base.

A lot of us fans (including me) don't like to hear anything negative about our favorite team/school. With that being said, I don't think Dakich was too far off with his criticism of last season. Please don't hate on me too much.

I think his brutal honesty rubs people the wrong way. Sometimes he goes out of his way to do that and it's annoying. Like last year during the Purdue game he ripped us apart, but he wasn't wrong at all.

I don't have a problem with Dakich calling our games.  He calls it like he sees it and that's what he's paid to do, he's been hard on other teams as well.  Some just don't like hearing Crean/the program be criticized, even when it's warranted (like last season).

I actually really like Dakich usually. I appreciate his honesty, but stop listening when he's going out of his way to rip someone.
