I hope our jerseys never change.....but it'll be cool to see the camouflage jerseys we wear there

 

Think that the Camo would be cream/crimson shaded? or just plain ol' green/black/brown.

 

Would be sick if it was the digital camo with cream and crimson IMO, but just for the shorts maybe.

When Michigan St and UNC played on aircraft carriers, they wore school colors in their camo.  I'd have to think ours will be cream & crimson camouflage

I might be in the minority on this site, but talking with others on campus it seems like most students would love an alternate jersey or some variation. Not to mention recruits eat that stuff up. It would be nothing but a positive. Sometimes to add to traditions you have to start new ones!

I'm only a few hundred yards from the hanger where these games will be played... STOKED!

[LIHoosier 27,597]

I wouldn't mind camo stripes on the shoulders of the normal home/away jersey; similar to how black stripes would be worn in remembrance of a former player/coach passed. A blend of IU tradition while giving thanks to the military.

 

Having Kansas on the schedule in '16 will afford us 3-4 Onomatopoeia St.'s

Great game for basketball junkies---and exposure and recruiting!

 

2 trips to Hawaii in 2 years sounds awesome to me!

IU vs Louisville 3 game series added.

Locations:

2016 - Bankerslife Fieldhouse

2017 - Yum Center

2018 - The Mecca of College Basketball

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind./LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Indiana University and the University of Louisville have signed an agreement to play a three-game series in both football and men’s basketball. The football and basketball series were announced jointly on Friday by the schools from neighboring states with campuses separated by only 100 miles.

A neutral site game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Dec. 31, 2016, will open the men’s basketball series in an equally divided arena. The Cardinals and Hoosiers will later play at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville as a home game for the Cardinals on Dec. 9, 2017, and the teams will match up again in Assembly Hall in Bloomington on Dec. 8, 2018.

Indiana and Louisville will kick off the football series at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Sept. 16, 2023, with seating split equally between the two schools. The second football game will be played in Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium in Louisville on Sept. 7, 2024, and the three-game series will be completed at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington on Sept. 6, 2025.

“I’ve felt for a long time that these series were a natural for fans from both universities and I’m thrilled to see it come to fruition,” said Tom Jurich, UofL Vice President and Director of Athletics. “We appreciate the efforts of Fred Glass and his staff in helping to pull this together. We have played each other in most sports and it has been a very friendly rivalry. There are a lot of fans in Southern Indiana that support both schools who I know will particularly enjoy the competition.”

“These series are tremendous for the football and basketball programs at both schools,” said Fred Glass, IU Vice President and Director of Athletics. “Our alumni, fans, and students will be thrilled to compete against such strong programs. I really want to thank Tom Jurich and the head coaches from both schools for working with us to make these great series a reality.”

“The Louisville series will be a great challenge for us,” said Indiana Men’s Basketball Coach Tom Crean. “The preparation and execution needed to compete against Rick Pitino and his team is extraordinary. We are excited about the opportunity to face them on a consistent basis and the chance for both schools’ fan bases to watch this series take off again is exciting. That first game on New Year’s Eve next year should be special.”

“We have tremendous respect for Indiana and all of their sports programs,” said Louisville Men’s Basketball Coach Rick Pitino. “We’re very excited to have Indiana on our schedule. It’s a natural rivalry and it’s great for both universities. Tom (Crean) and I spoke about possible future games while we were together at a function last fall and I’m glad to see that it has become a reality.”

“We are thrilled to renew this regional football rivalry against Indiana,” said Louisville Football Coach Bobby Petrino. “This will be a great series for both schools, and certainly exciting for both fan bases. I know this series is something our fans have wanted for a long time, and I’m excited that both schools were able to work out a deal.”

“This is a great regional matchup against a tremendous program in Louisville,” said Indiana Football Coach Kevin Wilson. “It is awesome for both fan bases and we expect huge crowds. We also look forward to playing in Lucas Oil Stadium again. It is a win across the board.”

Only thing that coulda made that better was if we were up by 20 at that point instead of down by 20.

[Str8Hoosiers 2,972]

Besides the fact that this will more than likely cause a Divorce (Wife is Diehard UofL Fan) this is very exciting... Can't wait....

 

Very odd that the Football series is so far in the future, I don't follow College Football but is that normal? Are schedules that far out (obviously less games per year)? Or are they trying to give IU time to get on a more level playing field with UofL.... at this point in time a IU v UofL Football game wouldn't help them at all...

Pretty normal for CFB games to be scheduled really far out.

Glass is having a pretty stellar week.
It is annoying though that we can already find IU's football schedule for 2020 yet we won't know the b-ball schedule for this year until 2 hours before the first game starts.

Tough schedule. Kansas and Louisville will be difficult. Butler should be down a bit. Home game ACC is nice. Virginia??? Big East likely a road game.

[GnarlyNormEllenberger 1,462]

Assuming we can get quality opponents in our ACC and Big East crossovers (likely), there will be plenty of opportunities for quality wins.

I just hope we try our hardest to avoid scheduling many RPI 250+ teams with the remainder of the schedule. I understand that the Athletic Department has to have a certain number of home games, but those teams can really lower our SOS if we're not careful.
