It's easy for me to avoid it because I don't want anything to ruin watching the game. I did exactly this, even on December 10, 2011. While I was in Lexington, of all places. Came home, wife and kid went to bed, and the dogs and I got to see the WatShot in all its glory. And you know you're celebrating a little too hard when the dogs look at you like "Ok, he's actually lost it this time....I hope he remembers to feed us in the morning."

NCHoosier32, regardless of where the so called professionals have us ranked (just see college FB rankings), I've always believed in what my own eyes see vs what the so called committee says! IU FB is underrated and getting the shaft but on the flip note, IU BB has showed everything to not be ranked! I have never seen a team so broke when it comes to FT %, FG % or for yrs in a row 3pt %. We couldn't hit water if we were spotted the ocean and it's clear that if this IU team wants to compete they better get physical and win the paint. With Illinois, Iowa, MSU and others showing dominance, I just don't see this IU team competing within the conference & struggling to get to the 20 wins that is needed for the dance. 4 things need to happen to change my mind. (1) Rob P & Jerome H must become contributors on the stat sheet as this team is lacking playmakers and experience. (2) TJD needs to establish dominance game in and game out and avoid games he looks uninterested. (3) AD & JB as SR's need to put this team on their shoulders and provide the SR leadership that all good teams lean on. (4) With the lack of leadership of upperclassmen taking charge of this team it is a must that AF and one of the FR class members step up to help contribute to our success. Time will tell for the success of this team but I feel we have the talent but question the HEART! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornHoosier Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Regardless of my pessimism or your optimism, today we have a chance to see what side this team is progressing towards. As a BornHoosier, I'm hoping this team can give all of Hoosier Nation hope for a relevant season! Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Per Coach Miller..... Joey most likely will be out for the challenge game. Al is coming along, and will be a game day decision. Per Snowling......GO HOOSIERS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time I had two babies and a 3rd on the way, so no way I was sitting down at noon on a Saturday for 2 hours to watch a basketball game. I avoided the score all day and didn't start the game until probably 8 or 8:30 that night. When Watford hit the shot I ran around the house screaming as quietly as I could. If I remember right, not one kid woke up during my celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell for the success of this team but I feel we have the talent but question the HEART! So far this season the team is shooting 68% from the FT line. Not great but not in the range of never seen before unless you just started watching this year and only saw IU. For comparison, their opponents have shot a blistering... 68%. 72% (Edit: 68% for opponents was last season and this current value might regress to about that, not that IU has any control over that.) IU is shooting 52% from the floor. That is actually pretty good and far, far from historically bad as you state. While IU shoots poorly from 3 (29%) they're holding their opponents to an even worse percentage at 23%. So your statement comes off as hyperbolic and I have a hard time taking you seriously.

That poll doesn’t matter anymore. They are ranked 12th in on the college football playoff ranking. That is the one that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I just want to say i love this forum in general. Twitter and thehoosier.com free forum never have anything positive to say. Like at all. Weve only lost to texas thus far. Are there things we need to clean up? Yes. But so does every team. I think Iubb has the athletes to be a good team. We can compete tonight. Im hoping its going to be a great game like im expecting. Optimistically hoosiers by 4. Go hoosiers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
