milehiiu Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Our undefeated Hoosiers host a second straight team from Alabama When : Saturday, November 16, 8p.m. ET Where : The beautifully refurbished Assembly Hall TV : BTN Radio : The Indiana University Radio Network ________________________________ Troy University. A non directional school is located in Troy Alabama. And is located at the opposite end of the state from our last Alabama opponent. Troy is a member of the Sun Belt Conference. And is currently looking for their first win of the season, losing their first two outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Unlike our last opponent from Alabama, who have two live lions as mascots. (Really cool, by the way) And I get why a school named Troy might want a mascot, named Trojan. Originally the nick name was the Red Wave. But in the 1970's the students voted to change the name and mascot to..... Trojans ! My only question is. Why ? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWB Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Driving up to the game from SC for the first time in 30+ years. Assembly Hall was new the first time I went there as a student, and I went back after graduating one time about 10 years later. Want to really see the refurb of the Hall, and see the Hoosiers live. Should be a blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Just found out that my sister, who's part-time faculty at the dental school, has season tickets this year and is going to let dad & I use them for some games this year... How awesome is that?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a blast! Assembly Hall was being built when I was a student. I have been in the sacred hall. But not for a game. It was during the summer. Be safe driving. Enjoy the time in the "New" AH.

As usual, my timing is impeccable. 🙁 Two tickets and free parking. She says the seats are just OK...main level but kind of in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in MN for 10 years. Don't EVER accept tickets to a Gopher game, even if they pay you! You'll have to look around and thru steel I-Beams every 30 feet. Worst venue I've ever seen live, or on TV. Notice that the TV never scans the crowd @ MN? That's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a blast! Safe travels and enjoy your time in Bloomington! Some of the core will always be around in Bloomington but will be curious what you think of not only Assembly Hall but the town in general after being away. One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the property development and honestly how expensive the rents are now for places. I mean I know IU is a money school but geez. Enjoy your trip!

If memory serves correctly most of the faculty gets Section A or B. Hopefully you get to use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach1K Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Watching the UNA game I was very impressed with Trayce Jackson-Davis he's a fun player to watch. Took my dad awhile to figure out that his played for the Pacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEFFVETTE Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 This doesn't mean anything, but. My sister and her family live in Troy, and my niece is a student there. I really like that small town. Anyone from Indiana that has drove to Destin FL has probably driven right through Troy. Go Hoosiers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
