hoosier10 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 That is a junk article that reads like it was written by a 12 year old. Felt like clickbait. I’d appreciate this being left off this proud and honorable site. Leave it to the pros who get PAID to write IU articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can respect you for voicing that opinion. It's been weeks since I started a thread in the General Basketball forum. Preferring that our members get more involved that way. I looked for a place to put this article. Thought about putting in it the Summer Work Out thread. But that title says : Videos. And clearly this is not a video. I am truly sorry you did not see the value I saw in this article. I did not view it as clickbait in the least. Rather, I honestly thought our members would have been interested in seeing an article published by a current student. True she is not a pro. Still learning her craft. I will take your thoughts into consideration, when or if I choose to start another thread on this site with a link, which I not only helped to start, but have worked hard for years, in three iterations to make it the proud and honorable site you have acknowledged it for being. Thanks for being a member. Sorry I disappointed you. Certainly not my intent, when I started this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought. And thanks for your and Kaustical's replies. I appreciate both. And as I said, I had no intention in offending any HSN member in starting this thread. In fact. Just the opposite. Over the years, I have been an advocate for supporting IU students who have chosen to become members of our boards... while they were students at our beloved IU. That is all I thought I was doing by linking Kate's article here. Alex over at ITH... and so many others, really got their start and support by me and Hoosier Sports Nation. Many have gone on to greater things. Some remember me...and others don't. That's ok....as they were instrumental in building our site over the years. And they were not professionals when they started out with us. I can give many other examples, but for now, just one..... Take for example. Another early member. My good friend Brady Stiff. Known as Stiffler when he started posting here, as a student. Grew up in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. And we shared many horse racing stories, back in the day. In fact, Brady used to work summers, while a student at IU, at Arlington Race Track, next to Rolling Meadows. And one day, I tried to meet up with him there. Only to have him tell me he was too busy that day to break away to meet up with me. And Brady was a member of WIUX. Again, a kinship, as I worked at IU's student radio as well before it changed it call sign to WIUX. And, who has gone on to do great things at WGN in Chicago.... and other places.

Pretty much a recap of what I already knew. Was the reply harsh? I think it was unnecessarily harsh to make the point. Some of you (I'm speaking to some other comments read today in this forum as well) must have flunked diplomacy class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. One of the things I have learned, after over 10 years of doing this stick .... is that not everybody reads everything, every day. I applaud you for your loyalty to our site, and keeping up on all things IUBB. You.... are... and have always been a valued member of Hoosier Sports Nation. Having said that, without question.... there are others that.... especially in the summer only check in from time to time. So... they are not as aware as many of us. One other thing.... learned long ago.... to "Let it Be". Spelling errors, nor redundancy are not part of my "thing". Everyone has a right to be here. And as I stated earlier, I appreciate all opinions. Diplomacy classes.... and all.... I appreciated the input of the young lady... working towards her degree at IU. Actually, for me.... she brought some new knowledge about the summer workouts.... and where to find information about them. So....in that respect... it was news to me.

I'm guessing this has more to do with Mile's views on pay sites. Mile - seems like there's a lot of stuff I don't know about regarding this back and forth on pay sites...but hey, as long the pay journalists are being professional and just trying to make a buck maybe they're not so bad either?

INDenizen Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I think the problem with the article (for me) is that this site is so great we already knew all the info presented. To someone who doesn't follow the Hoosiers, it may be a fine read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I routinely see other IU fans for work, social whatever the setting might be and I'm amazed at what most people don't know. I even told the 1260 guys in Indy they should spend a few minutes on this board before interviewing people or discussing recruiting. They sounded dreadfully misinformed. Of course natural reaction from them is they have plenty of sports to cover. My response was there are 2 things that move the needle in Indy radio. Colts and IU basketball. That's it. Sounding dumb on the air (Romeo recruitment as late as early April) was a tough listen. Especially for alumni. I usually like their show but I sat there in amazement at the lack of knowledge. I gave up on the 1070 folks or I would say the same to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been pathetic how far behind they are, how uninformed, and how shallow the info is. They tease me with IU recruiting talk and then fall well short of my hopes for, at minimum, a fresh angle or nuance...but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would say kudos to them. At least they are trying to bring current information. Last time I called into a talk show Dakich and I went back and forth and he hung up on me because what I was saying about him back in the Sampson days. I haven't reached that level yet with Query and Schultz but if they don't start picking up the pace a tad...I'll head to KSR when they are there again and point them in this direction....again.

Matt D on 1450 is pretty informed about what is going on with IU basketball. He has IU guys on all the time and he had a weekly interview with Fischer.
