Dunk Contest at Hoosiers Hysteria

[hothoosiersmom5 814]

Nate won the Dunk contest and Max won the 3 point contest. A different outcome then I expected......ummmmm this year might just be the one we need! Something DIFFERENT❤️

Thanks for the link.

I love love love love the new Candy Striped Pants tradition. :)

Nate winning the dunk contest is an upset but Max winning the 3 point contest isn't much of an upset. In a contest between Nate, Troy and Hanner, Nate wins 1/10 times, I would say max's odds to win the 3 point contest is much greater.

I can't wait to see what these guys put together this year and together is key. Troy helping Hanner underneath is going to be key

I also like the new tradition, but sadly didn't recognize some of the ex-players. Who was the guy with his hat on backwards? Wish they would have announced them.

Yeah, great new tradition, and maybe it was just the video and was different live, but I wished they did a better job of introducing the former players.

They had former players attend and "present" all the new players with their candy striped pants. It's was one part cool and one part a bit cheesy IMO.

Former players give the new guys their candy stripes. It was pretty awesome

True that on the last part. I didn't know any of the guys that didn't introduce themselves.

Post some pics of the former players, if possible. Us geezers will recognize them.

[HoosierDribbler 464]

It would have been nice to give their names, yrs they played, and any special honors they might have won. Talk about tradition...play that up.

I think that was Eric Surhr. Sorry if mispelled.

Per ITH:

 

"The ceremony included former players Matt Nover, John Laskowski, Gary Long, Greg Graham, Todd Leary, Errek Suhr, Jamaal Meeks and Jerry Memering, who each handed a pair of the pants to the nine first-year Hoosiers: Nick Zeisloft, Max Hoetzel, Nate Ritchie, James Blackmon Jr., Robert Johnson, Ryan Burton, Jeremiah April, Tim Priller and Emmitt Holt."

Hey Troy's momma, good picture of Troy going up for a dunk with the 5 banners in the background. It is on the In The Hall website

Every time we're in a blowout and the walk-ons come in, you know the crowd will be wanting a dunk from this kid. He's got some pressure on his shoulders now haha.

That's a good tradition. I would have given them their first in game home jersey and show the significance of having no name on the back.

Looks like you're in agreement with Dan Dakich. He was bashing the whole candy stripes thing saying that players around his time didn't care at all about the pants, just the jerseys.
He apparently declined being in the candy stripe video for that reason.
