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

A smaller D1 school hailing from tiny Natchitoches, Louisiana (just outside Shreveport). Enrollment of around 11,000. They are probably best known for their shocking win over 3rd seeded Iowa in the 2006 NCAA Tournament.

Coming from experience, you shouldn't feel confident about any win. When Purdue was horrible those two years, every game was an adventure.

NO not really but I missed the entire season. All I know about 2006 George Mason beat Uconn and UConn had a player named Rudy Gay. Florida won the whole thing.

Rudy Gay Armed Forces network covered every UConn game that year and the people watching it would alays chant Rudy is Gay Rudy is Gay. Rudy is Gay is all I remember of the 2006 season.

AFN Armed Forces network showed every UConn game and with the time difference the games came on at like 9 pm over there or later. I would go into the Control room and they had the games on and they chanted Rudy is Gay. They did that every game. I would be trying to work watch the games and stop laughing. I am sure it is not funny but it was then. Imagine at 2 am trying to file a daily recap report and you have three people chanting that. It kinda became a slogan for awhile.

15-18.

Its not that hard to find such things. Plus, since its an opponent of yours in what should be a good game, he probably figured people knew.

Your first sentence sums up what I was getting at. And trust me, I'm IU crazy just as much as anyone who thinks they're the most, this game doesn't hold that much significance. If anything, we're just all excited to see our guys play on live tv. I don't think we're all pumped up because our opponent is Northwestern State.

Hopefully it's a good game on our side of the ball, but competition wise even though we're all new, it shouldn't be THAT close. But what's hope worth anymore?

Last year's population in Wyoming was approximately 520,000 people, actually (in case some were wondering).
