I was told many years ago I had an amazing time at a Purdue bar that offered penny beer night. Apparently I bought a few rounds for the house. The pics did confirm a good time. Awesome! Do you remember which bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t jmagine charging college kids a penny a beer that they could afford to stay in business...from the loss of revenue to the cleaning bill in the bathroom as a result either way I imagine they didn’t last. Lol I do remember some good ol days when we would go out and there was $2 pitchers of beer...the pitchers were made of 1 gallon ice cream containers lol. That bar didn’t make it either lol.

I am absolutely POSITIVE that I cannot stand looking up at them in the standings any more. Unfortunately there are many that have known nothing their whole IU life not looking up to Purdue. Those championship banners are getting mighty dusty. We still have them but much like our WW2 vets there are fewer and fewer around that remember hanging them.

Hoosiers by birth and still cheer for IU but obviously cheer for UCLA. I asked them today first reaction. All said we'd love to win but that style of play isn't LA enough.

I watched a PAC12 game last night (up late feeding the baby) and the gym looked like it held 8000 people and was maybe half full...even behind the benches etc. He may not play an up beat exciting brand of basketball but he will bring fans back if they can consistently win games...and that they should do. UCLA campus is still UCLA campus...and they get plenty of NBA exposure in LA.....he would do just fine out there I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon has UCLA ties...although I wonder if he has bitter feelings with how his head coach was let go plus TCU is his alma mater. Mine is Dixon or Musselman. I could see him making a nice run at Nevada....although maybe that would be too similar of Alfred from New Mexico feel. That said he has NBA ties so I could see that playing well in LA.

Regardless of style, see what winning games in LA will do to re-generate the fan base. But, I've got to say, that the LA market is a weird duck.

That is what Dixon and Beard are going to have to ask themselves. Now Musselman, done a great job but he is of that Hoiberg ilk. Can he actually recruit? Done a great job with Nevada, but he has been doing it recruiting the island of misfit toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Few has turned UCLA down more than once.... because he feels he has got it better, where he's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoHoosier Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 My fear is UCLA gets Sampson. All of the blue bloods would then have proven commodities while we are mired in a rebuild, again. CAM has my hopes and approval. We will get there, just hate waiting another 1-3 years.

As you said...the Illini are not a great team by any stretch of the imagination and have put together some nice wins. Underwood needed it. 30 days ago no one wanted him there anymore. Hopefully our players wake up and realize a season can change very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
