Zlinedavid Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 We all do it. For bowl or tournament games, we all scout out our opponents' fan sites looking for insights into the team and the fans. For those UT fans that are here in anticipation of the Gator Bowl, welcome. We like to think we're a pretty good natured site. We'd love it if you want to jump into the conversation and share your side of this match-up. General rule...we'll keep it civil, so please do the same. For the most part, we're always up for good natured debate and/or conversation and don't need to have everything spun in a pro-IU direction, so long as it's civil and based in reality. The occasional elbow to the ribs is tolerable, so long as you don't mind one back. So have at it. Checkerboards vs candystripes. Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every Vol fan on a serious Vol site has either been banned there or wouldn't go near the place. With that being said. Thank you very much for the welcome.

Nearly every Vol fan on a serious Vol site has either been banned there or wouldn't go near the place. With that being said. Thank you very much for the welcome. We also have other fan sites, both independent and connected to the national networks. I'll leave you to your own judgment of them, as I'm obviously an unbiased opinion, but if you notice, the top of the page says "HSN3.0". That's not representative of the site's design or anything. HSN as a community has been through 3 distinct iterations, going from an independent to absorbed into the 247 network and back to independent. We have several members that have been active participants on all 3 iterations (and some even going back to the old Scout forums). I think that says something about the atmosphere we've built here.

Madmaxvol Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 By the way...I can't say how sorry I was that Camion Patrick's career ended the way it did. I have followed him since he was in Middle School, and was really hoping that he would do big things at Indiana. Injuries suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have followed De'Ron Davis, from Colorado, who is now a Senior on our BB team since 8th grade. Spent hours going to his games in high school. And who has suffered with injuries, before and during his entire career at IU. Injuries suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be known. Many of us don't know what a Hoosier is either. Over the years. There have been many and varied ideas as to what a Hoosier is. All I know is that I am a proud Hoosier. And you and other UT fans are experiencing Hoosier Hospitality. How many other fan boards have a thread welcoming an upcoming Bowl opponent, much less pinning it ?

IllinoisVolFan Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Thanks for the welcome and congrats on a very good season. I live in the Chicago area and know lots of IU alums. I’m expecting this to be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some regions Hoosier is used as a derogation term similar to redneck. One of your most notable fans has repeatedly said that “what this world needs is a few more rednecks.” Have to wonder who he REALLY supports in this game. But Mile is right. No one actually knows.
