Hahaha.  I wish!    It was a great day - 60+ degrees in Bloomington that day. Can’t complain.  
 

Pound Michigan and let’s go!

Love your attitude and penchant for finding the bright side- how far did you travel for the game?

From what I have gathered from friends and folks posting the reserved seating allocations have been very favorable. Who bought tickets and how did you make out with seating location?
Any chance it’s a sellout?

X was jamming one handed in warmups of the Iowa game. Wonder why he wasn’t available for that game?

He was obviously jammin to Marley in warmups!

Thanks. Ended up getting them.  Rough one

I'm SO SORRY to have contributed to you spending good money on that turd!  We left with over 10 minutes remaining in the game and were back in Columbus by 9:30.  Have NEVER left a game that early before but the writing was SO MUCH on the wall that we didn't risk missing a monumental comeback victory.  Just hope we don't repeat the "performance" Sunday and have to endure such a LONG 50 minute drive back to Columbus after a loss.  Color me concerned.

Hi friends, we are heading down to Bloomington in a couple of hours to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday with some dinner, then gifts in her dorm room in Read Hall. Kind of last minute I know, but if anyone ends up with three extra tickets for me, my kid and my wife, please let me know. I would love to buy them from you.

Otherwise we will just do dinner and listen on the way back to Richmond. Much appreciated!

My seats are spoken for but there are some on the ticket exchange board - just not 3 together.  That is a very tough putt.

Thank you!

A couple center-court Row 30 aisle seats posted on the ticket forum a bit ago if you haven't already gotten a pair.

If X doesn’t come back or at least dress for this game, I’m beginning to think that we won’t see him at all for the rest of the season. 

One of the IUBB podcasts/shows was saying that IU can appeal his injury red shirt status. IF they can and succeed, do we, X, Woody, etc. want a 50% XJ playing 10 minutes a game  for a very limited amount of games and possibly disrupt our flow right now, or for him to come back and be the man next season? 

Sure that last statement relies on a lot of assumptions. But if any of those assumptions hold water, I’m leaning towards the latter. 

X is definitely out for tonight perWoodson on his radio show. Return Sunday vs Michigan not ruled out. Who knows, could just make a cameo appearance for Senior Day?

Thank you!

My pleasure.  While prices are still above face value there they are typically well below StubHub prices with fees.  Season ticket holders who want to make sure that IU fans are in their seats use the forum instead of StubHub to have better control over who buys their seats and they typically ask less for their tickets than they could command on StubHub for that reason.

The scammer warning post that I had to put up was in response to a couple of clowns who respond to posts wanting to buy tickets so need to be thoroughly vetted - they are NOT Peegs members.  Anyone posting tickets for sale on the ticket board are Peegs members so that gives a level of confidence. Having moderated that board for 20+ years I am pretty familiar with those who use the forum and am happy to weigh in on specific sellers should opt to try to buy there. Feel free to reach out to me with details at eddy4iu@gmail.com

Best of luck and GO HOOSIERS!!!!!

Saw RU may be down 2 starters tonight, Mag and McConnell

Mag is out for season.  McConnel is a game time decision.

I have an extra for the women vs Purdue today - Happy to transfer it to an IU fan who can use it.
I'll need a first and last name and either email address or cell number for the transfer.

There's been a lot of scammers on that board apparently. That being said, I will be going to the Illinois game, so if anyone has any spare tickets between now and the day before, let me know. But for those looking for tickets, normally the day/night before, the prices become more reasonable. And if nothing else, more balcony tickets will definitely become available. 

I have moderated the Peegs Ticket Exchange Forum for 20+ years and am personally sickened by the very recent spate of scammers trying to take advantage of folks posting their desire to buy IU basketball tickets. Until this year there were no reported cases of scamming and there have been only a few reported cases this season that may well be the work of one or two scammers. Even so, I understand the hesitancy to trust anyone who, as a purported seller of tickets, reaches out to those who have posted their desire to buy tickets. Unfortunately it pretty much boils down to only trusting buyers and sellers who are members of the site and vigorously vetting anyone selling who is not a member. There is no way to keep unscrupulous folks from viewing the ticket forum and trying to pick off unsuspecting buyers. Make the seller prove to you that they are legitimate by any means necessary or cut bait - don’t worry about hurting feelings.

The Northwestern loss to Michigan moved us up one spot in the BIGTEN standings to 4th. We are one game out of 2nd place.

Minnesota	1-10	.091	7-14	.333	1298-1443	5-7	1-6	1-1	L6

Not that it matters much at this point but given head to head results IU should be on the 7 line in that graphic behind Maryland, Northwestern and Iowa.

That's the way it's been for me the last few years, DVR the game and do something else rather than watch. If the Hoosiers win, I watch, lose, and I erase it. My poor DVR has really been getting a work-out!

I may take the wife to see Brady at 80 on Saturday....

As a rule I am in front of the TV for away games and in Assembly Hall for home games so don’t misinterpret my post. In this particular case when I bought the Jason Isbell tickets I thought the IU/Maryland game was on Wednesday night. As it turned out I wasn’t disappointed to miss the game AND had a great experience at the concert.

As forSaturday - I’ll be courtside for our takedown of the Boilers.  Go Hoosiers!!!

Was that the one at the Blue Gate?

Brown County Music Center - a really incredible venue seating 2,000.  Was up close and center for this one but there's not a bad seat in the house - the last row is only 200 feet from the stage.  

I went to a Jason Isbell concert last night and checked the box score when I got home. Glad I didn't have to see how the sausage was made.  I just finished reading through this thread from the beginning and you all filled in the gaps for me that can't be extracted from a box score.  I sure don't need to watch a replay now and tanks to you all for that!
The concert was AWESOME - really glad I went.
On to the next one.

If you live around the DMV area, tickets are going $16 right now

Last time I checked into a Maryland home game on TV there were scads of empty seats court level behind the play by play announcers. I’m thinking it was the Wisconsin game and it seemed odd to me. Nonetheless, the place will be full for Indiana.

Can anyone explain the OSU technical?  I was catching a run just as the timeout occurred and it seemed something got heated near the OSU bench but none of our guys were reacting or looking heading to the huddle.

Holtman went Francon - his players were trying to hold him back.  I was shouting "T him the F up" but didn't think they had until we were at the free throw line.

I'm honestly surprised they did not suspend the game,  Conference opponent, 3 hours away by bus, pretty easy to find a new date and make sure everything is safe before continuing.  

Well, that is sure as hell what Holtman wanted to happen to avoid the ongoing ass kicking!
