MikeRoberts Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Well there is some really strong evidence that vandy and Kansas players were receiving impermissible benefits so seems like it should be a big dealSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
MikeRoberts Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Hes not coming here. I just wish we could move on to other recruits. Langford wants to play with Garland. Thats all their is to it.Get us excited for another recruit and we can shift over to a new obsession Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa, IUHAHN81, ebridges24 and 1 other 3 1 Quote

We are the blue collar coal miner in the planet of basketball.It has nothing to do with being sexy. It has to do with ponying up money to get 5 stars. I agree we should shift our focus to 4 stars and not waste our time going after 5 stars going forward. Now can we lock this thread since Romeo is going to vandy? You make the call.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk DougWil and thebigweave 2 Quote
Bailey7878 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I don’t want to be effing Purdue. We need to land five stars or at least high four stars. It is such a narrow and short-sighted decision to play somewhere just because you like one other player. Then are you willing to play dirty? Thats the only way to get 5 stars. You don't get them be being salt of the earth.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk DougWil 1 Quote

Hell we have had the same jerseys for a billion years. Always hesitant to change because of "tradition." As if Duke, Kansas and UK don't have any? Even Hoosier Hysteria has became dull. Need to spice things up. Get some new unis, kick things up to 11 for HH and start to ball out like we haven't been a bear hibernating for 30 years. Not sure pUKe is a good comparison. Tradition aside that's one of the most corrupt programs in NCAA history. Quote
Myrmidon76 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Indiana is the embodiment of tradition. The very things you list are the things that have led to money rotting the sport from the inside out. I'll keep the stuff that doesn't appeal to the corrupt. It isn't about jerseys or hype nights here...and if that's all that really matters...my God...can't you see that everything those "cool" schools did cost them their decency? Corruption seeks those capable of being corrupted. Tradition is a deterrent to that very corruption. Indiana wasn't listed today. The rest of the bluebloods were...take some pride in that and quit wanting to be just like them. woodenshoemanHoosierfan, ThompsonHoosier, IUBBFan1970 and 4 others 7 Quote

Either way, they are considered "sexy" while we are considerd "dusty." There is a reason IU is not a media darling. We are not sexy. We have less pizzazz than a Pizza Pizzazz. We just keep trotting out the same ole "tradition" theme year after year hoping it'll stick to someone new. Ey, IT'S INDIANA!! IT'S INDIANA!! When you are proud of your tradition, why shy away from it? ALASKA HOOSIER, IUBBFan1970 and Joe DeLow 3 Quote
Myrmidon76 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Jerseys don't win games. If kids choose a school based on jerseys, I don't want them here. Play for Indiana...not that Adidas or Nike jersey. Corruption starts by the eroding of things considered sacred and grows..always has, always will. ALASKA HOOSIER and HoosierHoops1 2 Quote
Myrmidon76 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I consider myself blessed to not understand how or why immaterial, insignificant things should be overhauled to appeal to the non- basketball side of basketball. I'll cheer for the game, you can cheer for jerseys and hype shows. woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1 Quote
