Reunion

[Fiveoutofsix]

So, besides the great Alan Henderson, who made a wonderful speech at half time....who else attended?

Wonder what the weekend agenda was?

Any insight?

God bless him, but there's just something strange about going from Henderson, Turner and then......Tijan. 😂

It was an open invite to any and all former Hoosier players.  I for one, and one who has talked with Tijan's mother in law, am thankfull that Mr. Jobe was able to attend.

Oh I get it, and he's as deserving as any other player. He gave us his all and had a really good GPA if memory serves.

I actually forget about him outside of times like these. I think it's some kind of PTSD-like response to those years of IU basketball. 😂

Not only a good student. When we needed it most for our APR. But a good person.  Last I knew, Tijan was working  as a project manager for some plastics company in Indianapolis.  Putting his IU degree to good use, leading other people.

So, I enjoy asking questions.  Wonder why no Buckner, May....those guys?  I mean Buckner is a Trustee he should make public appearances and support events, especially when they relate to him.

I'm with Dakitch, from a fan seat, the Bob Knight thing is silly and the fraternity should respond.  Its about the fans, the players, the students who supported and help make you a brand.  I guarantee, if he won 3 Championships at Northwestern, it would not of been as hyped, etc.

Did Dan Dakitch go?  He was tweeting like crazy last night, and I have to admit I am starting to find him funny.  And wish Archie will go on his show weekly.

I could be wrong. But I think "Dandy Dan" had other commitments on Saturday.

I gave up on May, when he directed Sean away from IU.  So there is that.

As for "The Mighty Quinn".... I have no answer.  Just don't know.

Pretty sure Dakich was calling the Virginia/Syracues game. Or some.other random game.

Yes. I believe you are correct.  One thing I love about Saturdays this time of year.  Tons of college games.  I did a ton of switching from game to game, after IU's tremendous win.

And do think I heard the velvet voice of "Dandy Dan" at one time.

Thanks!  It all still is a little silly to me especially when May and Buckner are involved in the community with their own jobs.  They were back for the 76 reunion, I beleive.....why not now?  Unless they knew about the "pretend" Knight appearance.  Also would think Downing could make a reunion considering it was scheduled in advance and Archie scheduled his team in the past.  Athletic Directors miss games all the time; however, he helped Knight with this scheme????  Conspiracy, I know....it is still so confusing to me from my perspective.  

Oh, Sean was best friends with Davis's son, helped recruit Bracey and Stickland.  All set for the three of them....and then Scott stepped in with Knights facilitating.  After Mays other son was allowed to be on the team.  Talk about ethics and loyalty.  Also, Davis never recovered from that....then again if Smith and Rothbart made it to campus....

Boy wouldn't that have made 03-05 look different.

03-04: May, Ewing, Wright, Strickland and Moye with Leach, Wilmont and Kline off the bench. Not a great team, but a hell of a lot better than we had.

04-05: May, DJ, Smith, Wright and Strickland with a bench of Ewing, Kline, Vaden, Ratliff, Wilmont and Rothbart. Oy....that hurts. We may have been UNC that year.

And who knows where things would have gone from there.

I did to because here in central Indiana it rained like 3 inches so I stayed inside all day watching basketball and football.

Wilmont one of my favorites all time.  Do you know who sat with him on his official?  Best pg in our history, I. Thomas.  Thats how you use your alumni.

Mine too...I was at the Northwestern game in Evanston when he went for 31 on 9-13 from 3 point range. They had to change the nets out.

Pretty sure Buckner called the Pacer game that night and they were on the road.  Could be wrong though.

edit-They played at Chicago Friday night.  So not sure why Buckner wasn’t there.

[RJPaisley]

I know we wanted to see specific players there, but goodness, look how many were there. That is quite an impressive turnout if you ask me. And, they were able to watch a victory. Go Hoosiers.
