(The Pacers might be a good future destination for Romeo. He might blossom back home in Indiana like Oladipo, and brings a large Indiana fanbase with him.)

I was surfing around on another IU message board and came across this post from someone. This is one of those posts that make you go...."Hummm?"

 I don't know about others, but this really did make me think of Vic and how he never really shined at OKC until he got to the Pacers.... Granted Romeo IMO, is not as "tough, hard nosed and versatile as Vic, but suited up in a Pacer's uniform could definitely bring a number of  new elements to both Romeo's game and the Pacer's organization alone.... I don't thing Stevens would want to part with him, but you never know... You have to admit, it would be awesome seeing Romeo finally play to his potential AND for the Pacers would be pretty sweet.....

Its not really too far fetched you know?

Jordy was never a PG. I played against him probably 10 times and watched him play 50 times before he got to IU. He was NEVER a PG. Dee Davis was the PG in HShttps://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/dee-davis-1.html , Yogi, Verdell, and even Victor were much more PGs than Jordy.  

AAU.. Colt Ryan was his PG. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/colt-ryan-1.html

Man, Btown.....you rubbed elbows with one of the few true hometown IU studs.....can I get your autograph???😉 Jus funnin’....🤩

I wish Dan would have just stayed at West Virginia...

As much as he “disses” Coach Miller, the team and Coach Knight,.....why is he still on the air? I know there are fans that love listening to guys like Dan. I have a family member who acts just like him. I can’t stand his “I don’t care who’s toes I step on” attitude! When he is on 1070 The Fan, I turn the channel.

I agree DG is not our best player but he is probably our best offensive weapon when he is going right.

IMHO this team is missing 2 consistent, 3 pt shooters. Shooters like Iowa's Wiescamp, Purdue's Stefaovic etc. When teams are consistently beating us, they're beating us with legitimate and consistent 3 pt. shooters. We have one three point shooter who is either ON or OFF,.....zero consistency from anyone on IU's roster. We are so transparent and easy to scout.....fill the lanes, pack inside and make us shoot 3's. We have often struggled getting the ball inside against the zone but when the ball does go inside we can't capitalize like most other good shooting teams. When our bigs do get the ball inside they often struggle to score. This leads me to our lack of good 3 pt shooters.

In the Michigan game, IU had consistency with Davis inside, a career game for him, but Davis could have scored numbers like Iowa's Garcia and IU still loses to Michigan.

Where are the A.J. Guytons, Pat Grahams, Jordan Hulls, Matt Roths, Kyle Hornsbys, Brian Evans and Dane Fifes? When those players were on the floor, EVERY team we played knew they were going to score points for IU,....the only thing opposing teams could do was try to find a way to slow them down. If Archie is looking for those type of players, I think Anthony Leal will fit that mold.......we just need more like him.

I will take sacrificing some February wins if it helps us win a first round series.  I know that home court helps to win that first round but right now it's all about chemistry.  Without Vic we wont get past 1st round but with that group working together I could see a conference finals appearance 

Same.....Even after his injury, Vic is still too valuable and too talented for Pacers  Brass to make rash decisions......and they won’t. It’s the building chatter from fans that are frustrating me. Team chemistry, dynamics and individual player abilities are all on the coaching staff now.

Idk. I am really mixed on what I expect from him. Would not be shocked with any outcome what do know is he is NOT the next LBJ 

"Big Baby" comes to mind....but  better.....JMHO

Unfortunately just like the Pacers this year I think it will be just a blip on the radar. At some point people have to realize how good they are and what a great job Nate and staff and front office are doing

that small market thing kills us....that not going to change unless Vic becomes a Monster!!!

Zion is legit........all due respect, but watching highlights from his first NBA game looked like he was playing in an All-Star game....San Antonio's 3 pt defense on him was putrid...

Exactly Mile. I was there, saw him bantering with the hysterics guys, fans and players. Didn’t miss a beat. Obviously he’s not 100% but unless things have taken a drastic turn in the last few months, he still appeared to be pretty with it to me. 

Dementia – once it has been officially diagnosed – does not go away, but the symptoms can come and go and the condition can manifest itself differently depending on the person. The symptoms and signs of Alzheimer's or dementia progress at different rates. There are different stages, but it doesn't ever “go away”.

I'm no doctor, but my guess is, according to the above description, he comes and goes.....mentally that is. JMO.

That's awesome.  So glad we did not move Sabonis. With the Wolverine reference are you trying to start a Marvel vs DC discussion? If Sabonis is Wolverine then who  is... I Kid I kid

 

Well,......"Superman" is helplessly staring at him.......

I love this pic!!! It shows the true grit and heart of the Pacers right now!!!!! Besides, I think he could pass for "The Wolverine"............

Some jokes are funny. That one is not. That's terrible.

 

I continue to shake my head in disgust and shame when he says things like this "against the grain".  I honestly can't believe 1070 The Fan has not reprimanded him for the often harsh and insensitive things he has gotten away with.

I don't know about his email. However, his home address is in a couple of the links above.  Shoot him a snail mail there. 

Got it...thanks

OK.  Gonna try to turn this lemon into lemonade.  Now that we know Coach's address. I took time out to shoot him a letter of appreciation for what he meant to me during his time at IU.  Yes. Old school.  Snail mail.  No twitter or social media.  Heard that at one time he reads his mail. And the one thing he always appreciated about IU. Was the fans.  Hope he is able to read my letter.  And I express my desire to all Hoosier Sports Nation members to follow my lead.  And send a snail mail to Coach. Telling him how much we loved what he did for us.  Maybe. Just maybe. Maybe HSN can do something that Fred Glass was unable to do. Get Coach into Assembly Hall, once again.

I would love to do the same. Is his email address public knowledge?

Well said. Does anyone remember the Iowa game when Coach came out from behind the Iowa bench and grabbed Alford, I swear Steve had to change his undies after that . Knight scared him to death. Just another little way to get in the opponents head. 

I think the back to Assembly Hall happens this year. Lots of moving parts behind the scenes trying to make this a reality.

Yep...I remember that moment like it was yesterday. Coach Knight being Coach Knight. Never a warm and fuzzy guy. The softest I ever saw Coach was when he was referring to his son Pat as an IU player and said, "I'm his biggest fan!"....choking back emotions.
