Not as it relates to Hartman...but just in general. As a fan I'm tired of all the feel good stuff that we focus on. I'm sick and tired of losing to bad teams. I'm tired of being asked to be patient for the 4th time in 20 years. I'm tired of me watching Hoosiers on 2nd weekend of tourney to feel good about hoops. I'm a blind loyalty guy when it comes to the coach at IU but darn....I get it when people say things. It's a feeling of angst/anger that we have had for years. When I read "sick and tired of losing to bad teams" I immediately thought of this...WARNING LANGUAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turdue fans thought they were getting him to be the next Robbie Hummel (sadly he had a similar injury filled career). A visit to IU and he committed on the drive home IIRC. Great stuff. Wasn't Collin the one who visited with his mom. They left, and in the car, he told his mom to turn the car around, so he could commit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsStoller Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Maybe I should use this for morning motivation for myself? 😳 I watched the ‘76 Halftime speech clip, and that was motivating as well, in an entirely different way. edit: not enough coffee this morning yet apparently! Good grief, this was supposed to be attached to the vid. I’m blaming it on the weather today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get back to that passion. Not the tradition, not the banners, not the long lines on social media outside AH,etc....get back to that one passion of winning like Coach had. Or in his case he hated losing more than winning so whatever works. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started as broker back in 95 it was before email and obvious easier forms of communication. Used to make roughly 1000 cold calls per week to get my necessary number of appointments. Whenever my/our floor got tired of calling. We played this on the loudspeakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Colts and Pacers fan, but when they win or lose I am rarely emotionally impacted by it. I hope the program reclaims that passion (as you suggest) because I think the tradition will be enhanced and the banners will increase in number if it does. For all of his faults, Bobby could never be accused of not being passionate or caring enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end you just had to bury your head in your arms to hide your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
