Apropos of nothing...except for being an IUBB fan


Recommended Posts

Digging through some old vinyl to sell off some things and ran across this. I could have sworn I had the 1976 LP too, but I could be misremembering. At any rate, this is a cool thing to put on the old turntable from time to time to listen to a 1981 "Fisch". Just thought I'd share during a slow-ish summer.

Well if you want to replace that lost LP, there are a few on eBay:

Nice find!  Brings back fond memories I'd bet.

It does. I'm 50, so just a bit too young to truly appreciate the 76 championship, but I remember 81 clearly. Coming back from a spring break trip to Pennsylvania to visit relatives, the Reagan assassination attempt, and IU/NC on the radio. Oh, and some dude named Isaiah.

I had the 76 album but sadly it wore out due to overplay. 

I also had a friend who recorded Fisch's play by play of the 1979 NIT championship game where we beat PUke on a last second Butch Carter shot from the top of the key. That recording was lost in my many moves.

My 4 years at IU started with 75-76 and ended with the 79 game. Not too shabby 👍

1979 was my first year at IU and it's when I became a diehard fan while working on a Masters degree.  Funny how it all started.  Being from NY, I was more of a college football fan, particularly the Orange of Syracuse.  Ernie Davis attended the same high school that I attended.  In any event, my best friend at IU at the time was/is a Kentucky fan.  I was visiting him and he was watching a Kentucky game, and listening to Ledford Carter's broadcast of the game on the radio.  That's when being a Hoosier fan began for me.

Very interesting learning the paths fans have taken over the years to become IU fans.  Thanks for sharing your trek with us.

Jerry,   same here.  1979 grad.  Remember  well  that NIT championship.   Remember  1976 even better.  Never had any of the albums,  but still have a turntable from  1981 if i can track down a copy.

Totally Awesome post ! I was living in a mobile home with my second ( and final ) wife at the time ! I turned to my wife right before Butch Carter hit the game winning shot and said "For The Hoosiers to Win this game , they need to get the ball to Butch. Carter and get hell out his way ! True story ! Carter made me look like a genius to my wife !! Thanks , Butch ! IU beat both the per yew smellermakers and the Kentucky cheaters in the SAME season ! It don 't get much better than that , BUT !!??
