Sorry for the brief downtime - we moved hosts last month and I formally shut down the old host yesterday, but it had some lingering settings attached to it, so had to triage those this morning. All fixed, over to our new host, which has been much better for us so far!

Exactly! The game is evolving.

Dude went full uniform. I respect that.

Hearing from local sources in Center Grove. That Trayce had a heart to heart to with Woodson last Friday. Sounds like it’s either first round or he’s coming back.

We need therapy.

If he doesn't get drafted first round and comes back shooting like that in games consistently, he's gonna be a lottery pick.

Aye! we're back!! I'm sure everyone that tweets has seen this by now but ill drop it here for those who dont...

We should create a “things we maybe remember that might have or might not have happened in IU basketball history” thread.

My first thought was someone was posting inappropriate pictures of Purdue coeds.

He's definitely getting more air under his shot than we were use to seeing... Love to see him come back, but either way, one of my all time favorites...

Reminds me of the annual video from Ben Simmons every summer of him making a few jumpers 🤣

I recall no such arrangement...but then again I can't remember what I had for lunch today.

We should play the Irish every year.

Yes, thanks 😉

So a few months ago, I ordered a hand built steel bike frame from a local company - Horse Cycles here in Brooklyn. It’s like a six month wait for the frame after measurements, etc. It comes with either a normal or custom paint job - I’m obviously springing for the custom paint job. I’ve pretty much got all of the parts - this will be an All-American made beast. I can buy something comparable from a store, but what is the fun it that. Plus, I want to pick every single part and assemble it myself. I don’t want something from a factory. Parts are as follows: Wheels from H.E.D, based in Minnesota Headset, bottom bracket, chainring and cranks from White Industries in California Handlebar, stem, and seatpost from Thomson Bike in Georgia Brakes, shifters, and gear cassette from SRAM in Illinois. Bar tape from Newbaum in California Tires from Rene Hearse in Oregon I’ve been going back and forth on the paint job, but I think I’ve settled on a Cream and Crimson paint job. I want to include a subtle nod to IU basketball and I think I’ve settled on five stars. But do I do five stars and a sixth star that has dotted lines around it for filling in later (being an optimist) or just only leave space for the five stars. The area for the stars would be the brake bridge over the rear wheel. This is the bike frame with a red and white paintjob: http://www.horsebrand.co/bikes/gravel-monster I actually think I would flip it and do mostly crimson with cream on the frame. You can see the brake bridge here where the five (or six stars) would be. Photo attached. My question to everyone here is - are there other subtle logos or text that I should use instead of the five stars? One alternative is that there is a very strong tradition of listing championship years on bike frames for stuff like the Tour De France and Giro D’ Italia. You often see years like 1976, 1981, and 1987 on the downtube of bike frames to signify that the bike frame won certain years. I’ve thought about just including the NCs that I’ve witnessed - 1976, 1981, and 1987. If you were building a bike that will outlast you and had to include a nod to IU basketball, what would you do?

I laughed way too hard at this...bravo.

Not just you...it was down. Maybe we all need to hit the donation link again to keep the lights on here...😜

It’s gotta take a lot more than a video to convince me, but IF that’s how TJD can shoot next year then he’s All-American first team and a first rounder. He’s so quick and bouncy - if he gets his defenders to bite on his jumpers then SEE-YA. Big Ten bigs won’t have the footwork to stay in front of him. Big IF though.

I like how he watches the last shot like it's going to bounce in off the goal support

His daughter will be a freshmen at IU in the Fall.

I thought it was based on the predicted order of finish for the upcoming season when it started.

I would absolutely LOVE a home and home with UCLA. There's a LOT of IU fans out here.

I know but doesn't mean I have to agree with those changes.

I'm still thinking someone is going to have fun with IU and we'll get Butler in Gavitt and ND in ACC.

If TJD comes back, I will be shocked if we don't get UNC for the ACC challenge.

I brought up the Tigers and their 43 wins and jokingly said 50 wins would be a stretch for the Reds. I'll correct myself. I don't see more than 35 unless they just haul and sweep Pirates, Arizona, Cubs,etc....a few times. Such a shame. Proud city/fanbase deserves much better.

Archie and Sean Miller to serve as special guest referees.

This makes me laugh that IU is willing to give AZ a neutral floor game but is still giving Calipari the middle finger.

Seems a bit harsh, why the daggers?

Never met 5fouls’ ex #4/6, have you?

Except they aren’t. And if you think that you don’t know modern basketball rules, which does explain a lot.
