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

Verdell, not sure if you read these boards or not, but if so, I just wanted to tell you that I've definitely noticed your progression this year, and I appreciate it. Starting off the year, I thought you were awful. The countless turnovers and dribbling with your head down into the middle of the lane amongst the trees was infuriating.

However, you've really improved. Sure, you make some turnovers still, but you're a freshman. What I really really liked tonight is how you WANTED the ball in the last couple minutes hitting the shot in the corner and the midrange jumper in the waning minutes. With a group of freshman, it's refreshing to see someone step and do that. I think you're going to do that for this team. I know there are some foes of yours on this board, but ignore them for now. If you keep improving, they'll all love you some day.

Sincerely,

Obatskii

We think a lot alike BTown.

Also, on a side note, i hear you're entering the sig making business. I'd love to be on your list if you get time. I love Smoltzie but my sig is a painful reminder to me right now. Anything, IU, Braves, or 49ers, or some combination thereof would be great. Let me know.

hahahaha.

i'll give you a finite problem:

there are 7 numbers and 9 possibilities for every one, in this case order matters.

thus, there are 4,782,969 possibilities for his phone number. try them all out?

:cheers:

If i knew for a fact that he would never change his phone # over the course of my life, I would start dialing, that's for sure. I'll get it out of you someday I hope. Hopefully you get drunker than shit one night and send me a PM with the 7 #'s. I'd probably be too nervous to call anyways, haha. I'd just brag that I knew it, that's it.

lol, i'd give you his old 317 number just because, but i don't think it's my place to do so. i'd be pissed as hell if someone gave my # out online, so i won't do it.

sorry man. oh, and i don't hardly ever drink.. :cheers:

yeah, I know, and I don't expect you to ever give it out. You wouldn't be much of a friend if you did so. And you seem like a good guy, so I'll just have to start with my 4 million #'s if I want it that bad! I'm just giving you a hard time anyways as you probably know!

You can reduce 75% of those numbers. if it is a text it has to be a Cell phone. Take the area code and find out what prefixes are cell and landline.

Jones 3 kinda blows. Dribbling off his knee when no one is guarding him, throwing the ball away needlessly and poor handle skills are inexcusable. unfortunately for IU, his backup is a 5'7 craker who dribbles just as bad, shoots worse and would get picked last at your local YWCA.

Hulls will make an immediate improvement next year. IU's single biggest problem is bad PG play. kills the flow to the offense, results in many MANY empty possessions and leads to easy baskets the other way.
