IowaHoosierFan Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just now, CauseThatsMyDJ said: All-time =/= this century. Oh you mean since 2000, gotcha.

Bears ownership has been a joke to it's team, coaches, players, and fans for decades. IMHO the problem with the Bears is they never have a franchise QB. Really, not even close.

Hoosierhoopster Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Paul George. hahahahahaha College bball: IU. Period. NBA - Pacers, Thunder (yes, because of PG!). But with the NBA, also follow other players' games more than other '"teams'" games - for: Lillard, always followed Vic but he's now covered by the P's, OG, Gordon (EJ), Kawhi, Tatum, Unibrow. Against: Durant, Draymond. Draymond again (can someone please kick him in the nads? Maybe Grayson Allen will trip him this year), ZaZa. NFL: Grew up a Redskins fan. Don't really watch the NFL now.

dgambill Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm an IU fan through and through....but if we aren't playing and it won't affect our ranking or position I will root for other Indiana located schools such as ND, BUTLER, and yes....even Purdue although I have to admit I'm not too disappointed if they do lose lol. Pacers, Colts, and Cubs....I understand football is different since many didn't grow up with the Colts...but once they came here...I was just the right age to become a fan. I'm a regular on the Colts fan board for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 1 hour ago, Seeking6 said: I know the last 3-4 have stunk. Grigson drafted 21 guys from 2013-15. 2 are left on roster. I agree...Grigson never should have been hired and certainly should have been fired earlier. I have enough issues with my guys. Bears ownership has been a joke to it's team, coaches, players, and fans for decades. I wouldn't say the last 3 or 4 years have stunk except last year. The record since Manning left 11-5 lost 1st round of playoffs 11-5 lost in 2nd round of the playoffs 11-5 went to AFC championships 8-8 8-8 4-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 College: Purdue Baseball: Cardinals Hockey: Blues Football: Colts Basketball: Pacers I wasn’t born a Purdue fan but became one over time (my entire family is IU). Went to several Purdue basketball camps as a kid and started following Purdue football during the late Brees/early Orton era when Purdue was rolling. I vividly remember being at the bucket game in Bloomington when I was in high school and a buddy of mine and I went to sit with some buddies on the IU side who had good seats (one of the guy’s dad’s is a huge IU booster so the seats were awesome). When Purdue scored I jumped up and clapped during the fight song and have been a diehard fan ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblaz13 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Every college sport ever: Indiana - and that is regardless of what a couple of mis-opined souls out there might think to the contrary. NFL: Colts - Browns get some love still too, since they were there first in my life before the Colts moved to Indy... NBA Pacers , then Lakers MLB: Indians, then Cubs I also like the Yankees, but only because I hate the Red Sox! NHL: Philadelphia Flyers - An oddity since I was a kid who liked Australian animals, and my favorites were kangaroos ,, and the females are called "flyers" - Different reason from the others , but it stuck permanently.like ALL of my loyalties not initialed RMK!

hoosiertildeath Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Kudos to the poster who extolled the Cleveland Browns !! Paul Brown ( he who started the Cleveland Brown Franchise ) was the shrewdest mind EVER in Pro Football ! He found really good players from places like Case Western Reserve !! I remember he had two Fullbacks who were as big as IU's defensive ends (Marion Motley & Maurice Basset ) !! I wonder if that is where Lee Corso got his idea for the " Elephant Back "" he used while coaching IU ???? [vbg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
