Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

During last nights game, which player surprise you the most. I want to go with Pritchard. I know it was Anderson, but that guy is much better than advertised. If he learns to finish, this team will be a lot better than anticipated. :cheers:

Since I didn't watch the game, I'm going to say everyone. 101 points, even though it was against former HS Marion County bench players, is pretty impressive. I figured it'd be in the 70s.

Anyone know anything about the next exhibition team? D2 or D3?

It's kind of odd you have an opinion of who was most suprising in a game you did not watch.

The entire team surprised me. I didn't think they'd be able to score 100 points in a 40 minute game. The team as a whole surprised me with their production.

Does that not make sense to you?

Hmmmm thought I read only 4k were sold, and they opened the rest up to the public. I'll look for the link, I'm not 100% sure though.

if you read that in the IDS its because they don't know what they're talking about. someone works in the athletic ticket office (cough me). we went over the 7k mark last night. we were at 4k about two weeks ago, but tom crean made a few appearances and it spiked considerably. currently theres about 1,000 tickets available for the public, and those will likely be gone before dec. 1st.

Cool. I think a friend of mine said he saw it on Peegs (hence, I should have never believed it). Thats good, 4k for an IU student section sounded ridiculously low, regardless of price and how good the team is.

That'll be huge for this team and program. The more student support the better.

yeah, it was pretty disappointing that we had to extend the deadline, but next season when we will have the possibility of being ranked pre-season, all of the out of state kids will jump back on the bandwagon. them and the northeastern girls who come to the games, text on their blackberries, and then leave. obnoxious. the best part about this season is it's going to be all true IU fans.

Doubt they'll be preseason ranked, but the top 5 or 10 recruiting class will definitely help spike interest. The same thing happened at Purdue. Recruiting hype gets the fair weather fans out in droves.

yeah. what baffles me the most is that we have a waiting list of about 18,000 for season tickets, but the ticket office claims that they have to be in the alumni/adult section. it's bullcrap because a lot those people have been on the list for 10+ years and they're diehard IU fans, but the fair weather students get first dibs.
