    Maryland getting handled at home by George Mason...

    I thought Dontae Scott could have a breakout year, but he looks out of shape and disinterested...

    Big  1G looks over rated. Hope we find out IU UNDER RATED! Really hope IU competes every game!  Tonight gives us a hint! Improve every week go deep in March to MAKE APRIL!!

    So much to be happy about from last night...

    But we're not quite there yet...

    Now, I'm not directly comparing this team to the 1975 team, but they did something last night that was typical in most of the 75 teams game...they crushed NIU's spirit in the first 15 minutes with their defense, and from there, the other team simply wanted the game to be over and to get the hell out of AH. If only we had a Steve Green (the most underrated player ever at IU IMHO...God knows what numbers he would have put up with a 3 point line...pretty much automatic from each deep corner)...

    And I know he shot the doughnut on offense, but a shout-out to Parker Stewart...the Hankerson kid came in averaging 28 ppg after one game, and left averaging 15.5 ppg with Parker taking him on early and setting the tone...

    Love Tamar Bates...the enthusiasm, the way he lets the game come to him, and his defense is really good...stays in front of his guy always...

    And it was very cool at the end when they were trying to get Duncomb some points...this team genuinely pulls for each other, and has great chemistry...

    Thanks Coach Woody, for putting the fire back in this program...

     

    Steve Green was the reason I have always had the 75 being better than the 76 team.

    Everyone remembers the regional final loss to Kentucky in 75 as a huge gut punch, but the one game playoff loss to Michigan for the 1974 Big 10 title isn't far behind in the bitterly disappointing loss category...

    I never heard much about this game as I was over seas and I do remember the Downing Walton foul! As I was lucky enough to have a radio at my side!

    Okay, in my defense! 1971 I was a freshman at Tri State College and really had no clue about IU basketball?  It wasn’t until the next year that one of my friends was yelling at Coach Knight on tv, C’mon Bobby! Kinda like we have been yelling at IU the the last decades! But I took notice! Been a Hoosier Basketball fan ever since! And yes I remember George McGinnis, awesome player!

    I lived just down the road from Tri state! In 71 ( Trine) Had a cousin going there at that time! I was just Graduating from Dekalb HS! Small world! Roy Charleswood came out of Ashley at that time!

    Come on, brother! Steve Downing? Joby Wright? John Ritter? Finished 3rd I think in the Big 10...

    Second year, Big 10 title and a Final 4. I kinda knew we had something special!

    Got to listen to IU -UCLA FINAL4 ! IN THE ARMY AND STILL THINK IU GOT SCREWED!!!   The Downing 4th instead of Walton's 4th!! 1st of many Screw jobs! Should have been IU's 3rd TITLE!!! Still believe it to this DAY!! But I wear Rose colored glasses!!🏀

    Lots of chatter today, so not sure if it's just people being antsy with anticipation or we could be finding out soon. Strong winds blowing from SC in a northwest direction straight toward Bloomington!!

    Love the Mile winds blowing reference. Puts a smile on my face thinking about  a few of our lost friends. Thanks 99🙂

    Replace the Colts with the Bears for me...I can relate, as most people here can. 

    Put in the White Sox for me . Getting to OLD to wait for Championships. I like w hat coach Allen is building but tired of the shooting yourself in the foot. Don't like to blame 1 play for a loss BUT THAT TARGETTING CALL ? WOW the Allen roughing the passer so there are2 calls I ? IS this not a contact sport? Night all!!! Bears also here!!😀

     

  8. Guys I know we have a way's to go! But most of my life we were a laughing stock at football! Coach Allen has

    IU pointing up! When IU Rose Bowl team 1967 I thought we were on the right path!! Maybe with luck Coach will take IU to the top again!! If not I will not be around for the next chance!! GO IU

    Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Since 2010, Idaho has had one season with a winning record. 
    I am happy with the game thus far, but we are kinda beating Sister Mary of the Poor

    Trying to say Iowa loss was not as bad as it seems!!! We have a lot of new going on (coaches ,players, rust on QB, But if I REMEMBER RIGHT IU WAS A Sister of the poor for most of my life!!! From a Dekalbhoosier😏!!
