That Duke game will forever hold a place in my heart. That was the game that made me fall in love with Indiana basketball. I was riding home from a long trip with my dad and we listened to the entire game on the radio with Fischer. How we didn't wreck on that Moye block is beyond me, but that was one of my favorite road trips ever.

I think the IU game that got me was the Keith Smart game. I have a split IU/PU family. That game solidified IU to me. I am 35 but you guys are making me feel old .

I was 7 years old when that Duke game happened. I went insane when IU won

Ugh, you kids.  The '76 championship when we knocked off Michigan for the 3rd time in that season and after losing Bobby Wilkerson early in the first half to injury and to be known as the last UNDEFEATED national championship team.

I was on campus in grad school during that season. Great times!

Ridiculous in my honest opinion.

CTC Ordering From “The Menu” 

Server: “Welcome to The Lucky 13. My name is Robbie, and I’ll be serving you. To drink, sir?”

CTC: “I’ll have an extra large Crimson Kool-Aid please, and keep em flowin.”

S: “Certainly, and would you care for something to get you going?”

C: “ I’d like to start with an undefeated pre-conference seasoned, and can I get lots of extra hot dunking sauce with that?”

S: “Should not be a problem sir. We’ll have that right out for you. Do you know what you want, or do you need some more time to think about it?”

C: “Oh I’m ready. I’ll have the No. 6.”

S: “Excellent choice…and dressing?”

C: “Branch, with fresh McCrackened pepper.”

S: “You have two sides to choose with your No. 6.”

C: “The regular B1G for 1, and for the other…I’ll just go ahead and take the B1G ten tourney topping as well. I just love mixing them together. I call it IU suck-it-tash.”

S: “And how would you like your No. 6 prepared, sir?”

C: “Done extremely well. Heavy on the Cream.”

S: “Will you be having dessert?”

C: “Pretty sure I'll have the #40 POY souffle, with icing, sprinkled with assorted B1G accolades. Mmm...can't wait.”

(after the feast)

S: “Your check, sir.”

C: “Check that!”

S: “Thanks, and come back-to-back soon.”

C: “Oh I plan to. We had a great Knight…uh, Bobby was it??? Cheers.”

Anybody remember this joke?

What a joke. He better hope he's a good ball player because this is all giving him a very bad look.

Adidas has overtaken Jordan as the #2 brand in U.S. sport footwear. This is an achievement I never thought I would see in my lifetime.

Also this. Blind luck that Adidas's ascension coincides with the rise in influence shoe companies have over commitments. 

 

 

 

I can remember 6 months ago, when this place was a total powderkeg, posters were saying IU needs to dump Adidas and rebrand to be cooler, so we could have some hope of getting recruits.

That 2002 stretch was what really turned me into a true diehard.  As a student the excitement on campus was unreal.  I remember those games and those nights to a T.   Moye was my dude.  

I was 12 years old and that season really solidified it for me.

But I still haven't found a decent IU hat since 2007.
