loviubb Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Been trying to catch up! What great news!!! Wow seems like OLD TIMES in state kids WANTING to play at IU! I am as excited as the rest of you! Great to see some old names of posters being brought up! I lurked for 10+ years and remember so many that have been remembered and some that have passed. As some have said that Romeo made it a place that was OK to go followed by TDJ and others. We are going to finish 12-8 in the Big 10 as many have said at the start. Nice to see CAM adjust GREAT THINGS AHEAD GO IU!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about ripped while posting. So funny. I used to be very active on the other boards. Now I simply lurk and read for the most part. I used to be very tied to many in the Indy area, but have moved on from that job, so just try and soak it all up. I know that Mile probably can vouch for those connections as he and I shared info for many years. Everyone has worth on these boards. Some for basketball knowledge, some for humility, some for morals, etc. It all has a place. Right now, my passion is listening to all the banter and fun you guys have. Be good to each other, the world needs all of you. Ultimately, in a short few years my girls will be grown and I will hopefully be the worlds best dad to them. Until then, all you die hards keep posting and realize differing opinions are what makes this site great. Go Hoosiers! I'll never forget GovtCheese. If someone told me that he drank an entire 12 pack of Hopslam every game I would have believed it. He was a riot in the game threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a thread with him drunk in another team’s fan section at some tournament. It was the Purdue section at the crossroads classic. His narrative was pure comedy gold.😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made racial comments as well, and there’s no place for that here or anywhere. Stupid can’t be legislated against, but racial comments are ridiculous in the 21st century. One of the best things about sports is that it can and does bring people together of any background or economic group. You could argue nothing is as great of an equalizer as sports is. I don’t wish him any ill will but I’m glad he’s gone from here. This group is too good to be tainted by the likes of him. Whoa...I missed that part. I only saw the funny drunk posting in the Purdue section at the crossroads. Would agree that the racial stuff has no place here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Do we know where these guys went? CHoops passed, JayBob defected to another board but what about these others? Surely someone must know there whereabouts. Wouldn't surprise me if some still check in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Like all things in my life I am a late bloomer. My absolute refusal to participate in anything social media related kept me from finding any iteration of HSN until 3.0. Seems like I missed alot but am liking reading the reminiscing. Fascinating stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierKix Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Really cool to read about the true brotherhood of these boards through Indiana sports! I am only in my 20s and only been on the previous site for a tiny bit and then on this one mostly!

Respect to all of you guys and love the site and will continue to love the site! Go Hoosiers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how you think more than how I put that! It is more indicative of how excited I am, to immediately acknowledge the reality of the times were in. With most commits I don't exactly turn around on my first thought and think "Man I hope nobody poaches this kid" Haha I hope that doing so becomes a regular thing again though. I had a fairly animated response to reading it too! Wish I'd recorded it for you Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would not post every day. Just when he had IU news to report. At that time, I had no clue there were IU forums on the internet. So it was a daily ritual of mine to check for Hutchens. Summers were tough. But I still checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
