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

While Turdue has the huge advantage in experience/age, I think IU is the more athletic team.

Guys like Creemer, Brokeback, and Jew Jew aren't very athletic, they are just very experienced. Conversely, guys like Creek, Watford, Bow Wow, Rivers are very athletic just not experienced.


Teams can get more experience, they can't get more athletic skill.

tAmazingHomer, this is a very valid discussion considering the HUGE upgrade of IU talent this year and the potential impact it could make. Have you seen them play? Huge difference from last year.

No wonder Nick Williams and Story transferred ( I liked WIlliiams), they wouldn't play much given Watford, Rivers, Elston and Creek coming in.

It doesn't help to have athletecism if you don't know how to use it. The answer is Purdue.

I disagree. you are confusing experience with pure skills.

IU will be better than turdue by 2011

Never in my life seen someone so excited about a group of players who just got done playing a bad D2 team.

lol @ counting wins over a D2 and a NAIA team.

Thats a big sign of being worried about the 20 win barrier.

Impossible to tell when you are counting on 5-6 freshmen like IU is doing. Those guys haven't played a game against a D1 opponent.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say 14 or 15 (not including preseason games).

BTW - Rivers will be much better than you think.


He made some NBA quality passes last night

I will say you guys allowed UB to count the preseason games last year, so there is sort of a precedence set already. I'm in agreement with you though, Cam. 14 or 15 would be pretty good in my opinion.

I allowed him to do that for what?
