Has anyone received their ticket assignments for the Harvard game in Indy yet? Coming up Sunday we'll be a week out from the event, but I've heard nothing.

Pretty sure that the Harvard seat assignments are in IU ticket accounts but as of a day or so ago the digital tickets still weren't downloadable.

Yep

Seat locations are starting to drop in ticket accounts under "Order History."  They are working their way down by priority point total and hope to have the process completed this week.  Not sure when they will be downloadable but at least seat locations will be known.

Keep checking your IU ticket accounts.

I started a HH thread last week. Maybe we can merge these? 

My wife and I are coming down from Chicagoland for the Rutgers game. HH was a bonus. Doubt I'll stick around for the rapper. Maybe catch the first few minutes if I don't have to wait long. 

Going to try and get to Bloomington by lunch time and go to Nick's. Not sure how early I will get to the stadium. Not concerned with getting the front row and standing in line. What time should I get there for rows 15-20?

Sorry but I really don't know.

There doesn’t seem to be as much buzz on IU forums about Hoosier Hysteria this year as in years past. Is that an indication that attendance will be down for the event or are folks just not talking about it? Does having Gucci Mane involved boost attendance? Anyway, who all on this board is planning to come to HH? Where are you traveling from? Are you coming with family and young kids (who might both love IU basketball AND Gucci Mane) or meeting up with friends in Bloomington for Homecoming weekend? How early do you plan to arrive to stand in line to get good seats? At least there will be food trucks outside Assembly Hall starting at 4:30 this year so should make standing in line more tolerable. Do you plan to stay for Gucci Mane after the basketball activities are over? Again, just curiosity questions because the hype of HH seems to me to be lower key this year vs previous years.

Dan Dakich is such a sad, miserable person. He's been trashing this kid and recruitment all week. Going hard since the commitment. 

Duck Fakich!

My IU classmates.  While the success on and off the court during my 4 years at IU will never be matched I pray that we are starting to see a semblance of the success these guys and their coach achieved being buikt by an IU great.  It's been far too long coming over the past 30 years and way too many students have not tasted the nectar of the gods that is IU basketball dominance. Go Hoosiers!!!!

Sorry for duplicate photos.  My old fashioned is starting to take affect - LOL!

My big IU day with McNeeley commit got even better when I returned home from C-bus, OH a bit ago and my season tickets AND a new IU hat I ordered were waiting for me in my mailbox. I'm like a kid at Christmas and only now starting to catch up with the boards and all the excitement. No doubt that I'll stay up WAY too late tonight (morning) - LOL!

True...but we ARE talking about 18 yr olds who have never made any decent money prior to this. 

If he thinks IU & KU are the same, then I can see NIL be a major consideration.

One major consideration is where he believes he has the best chance of winning a national championship in what he believes will be his only year in college.

Self’s pitch is forget about relationships you’ve built with IU staff and do what’s best for you to win a NC. Had KU gotten traction with Cooper Flagg, a good friend of Liam’s, that just might have tipped the scales.

Odd question but I like to plan. Does anyone if we'll be the 430 or 7pm game on 11/20 in NYC? Doing a Thanksgiving dinner for 100 or so and I want to make sure which shift I sign up for. Serving at 7 or cooking everything early so I don't miss the game.

If we beat UConn we'll be the later game, if not we'll be the earlier game.  Probably doesn't help you plan but time to roll the dice and pick a winner in game 1.

Doesn't necessarily mean this is Cal OR that he's going to see Boogie.  But if he is, I sure as H hope that Woody has an equal chance at this late date.

Well, looks like Cal is busy today and not on that flight after all. This is all public domain stuff and I saw it on Peegs site.

Maybe by the end of the day tomorrow 😉

I trust @DC2345's info a lot... but it just makes sense that if he's going to see McNeeley and Queen one day, and the aircraft that took him down there files a flight plan for tomorrow to HPN, that it's to show Boogie some love... or receive happy news 🙂

Sure they do... but you'd think the meeting had been arranged beforehand...travel on private jets isn't cheap... 

 

Good point and we'll know soon enough I suppose.  I'm not pitching an outcome either way because I don't know - just hoping like all of us that at the end of the day (not literally) that Boogie is a Hoosier.

As for Woody, what other reason would he have to go to White Plains?

The flight plan from MCO to HPN has been filed for tomorrow morning by the same aircraft that took Woody to MCO...

Of that I'm certain... 

 

Flights do get cancelled from time to time - no?  Not saying he WON'T end up going, just that it's feasible that plans changed after the flight plans were filed.  Seems that watching the flight from Lexington to Westchester today MIGHT give us a clue.

I plan on attending. Who else is going? 

For anyone who has been in the past, how early should I plan on getting there to be able to park in the main lot? Is parking free? 

DOORS OPEN: 6:30 pm

EVENT BEGINS: 7:30 pm

I read something 2 days ago where he said all 5 schools are still in it and he was going to go where he wants to go, no one else will decide that. said everyone thinks he is a lock for Rutgers but thats not the case, every school is still being considered. He said his brother isn't pushing him any direction, wants him to do what he wants.

Interesting. And while I don’t believe that bodes well for us it surely must be constricting sphincters in Piscataway! LOL

That's the thing. If Hoosier fans are as loyal as we think I'd hope they wouldn't take the loot. Long ways out though so we'll worry about that another day.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree. My point is simply that IF UK has any sort of large representation it will have come through the secondary market. I am thrilled that IU will control tickets for this game and hope that IU fans will hold tickets close to the vest and if they sell that they will vet their potential buyers intensely to keep the stinkin’ blue out of Lucas Oil. How ironic to be trying to keep blue out of that venue!

Mini packages just came out. Kansas, Ohio St and Michigan St are part of the 6 game package which I assume it means no students for those games right?

I think that a limited number of seats, say 500 or so, will be reserved for students. Most likely in the South baseline bleachers.
