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

I am sure you all saw it, but it kind of gave me goosebumps when after the game, he went to nearly every fan that was still there (and could get down to courtside) and shook their hand. Told them thank you. I am sure this will not happen every game, but it was a good way to start and get the fan base pumped about him and this team. I am expecting great things from this man. A little disappointed in the first half, it was very sloppy, but they got rid of some of the butterflies and played a little better in the second half. Now some of you, I did not say that if they play the res of the year like they did the second half they would win 20, but that they did play better. Our OOC schedule is tough with the maui classic, top 25 teams and possible two top ten teams in less than 2 days. It is gonna be tough, but like enemy said this will probably be one of the teams we remember forever. Remember in 02 that we said we wished we had a handleful of tom coverdales running everywhere getting on the floor etc.? Well I think we might just have that this year. Also I am excited to see some of these guys grow over four years. Jobe, even though he didnt play a whole lot tonight (didnt look at stats so I may be wrong) he looks like he could be tough. He has the body, he is RAW. So it is gonna take some good coaching to get him to where he needs to be. I was pleasantly surprised by Roths shot, pritchard did well, and the others were not bad at all. I think our depth is a big issue, and will need to play 8-9 people max during the season. Hell I can not give much more than that right now, because I am still trying to remember their names :) they are ALL NEW. well except fink and taber. Anyway I think that this team will definitely be fun to watch. We will get blown out this year, we will win some games we shouldn't, March will be a sad month and the summer will be fun. Ok this is a long ass post so if anyone made it this far THANKS!

You think the game that we get blown out at home, he walks around smiling and shaking hands? That would be kind of dissapointing for him to do that IMO
