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

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

I still fail to see how people rooting for a "cinderella team" (in your eyes) makes everyone a bandwagon fan. How many people don"t root for david over goliath when it really comes down to it? Seems to reason it would be mostly goliath fans, right?
Is it uncomfortable to have your tail tucked that far up your asscrack as you run away from my post? I imagine it's gotta sting almost as bad as public embarrassment you've received.

My perpetuation of the argument is pretty easily expained. I'm bored in hotel rooms this week, and ColtFan is a prick.

To make a real contribution though, I'm never surprised when a team wins an unwinnable game. And gold standard.

Y'all. I like that contraction. Do the words "fixing to" show up in any of the other regional dialects encountered by posters of OHB? It is common language here. "I am fixing to go to the store. I am fixing to cook dinner." I imagine Hog hears it a lot, he is close enough to me that it should have become part of the Arkansas dialect also. It is quite handy.


Well I am fixing to go back to work, so I best stop posting here.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Where did I run away? You claiming to win an arguement only makes you the winner in your own mind. How about answering the david/goliath question. Talk about running away.

Prick? Is that really the best you got?

it's funny that people compared Duke and Butler to David and Goliath considering both schools are nearly identical in size. it's more like david vs. david only one david had more weapons.
So, you are saying that Duke's basketball program and national attention is not Goliath compared to Butler? We are not comparing their science departments or student bodies. Duke spent more dollars per player than Butler spends on the entire program. How is that david vs. david? And I didn't even have to bring the coaches or previous banners into the equation. Your theory is pretty lame, imo.

i meant in physical size. i said david vs. david (physical size of being) only one david had more weapons (money, coaching, players, etc.).

What does the last 25 years have to do with a game played in 2010? The david vs. goliath argument only works if Butler stunk this year and went on an incredible run. Butler played well as a team, won a bunch of games in a row.....somewhere around 25 I think. Stop pretending there were any great teams from this past season. Duke was a borderline 1 seed, and in a good college basketball year they would have probably been a 3 seed.

So Duke, year after year, being able to recruit kids with more "stars" has nothing to do with this argument?

good god can you read?

DUKE = 6,400 undergrads
BUTLER = 4,000 undergrads

DAVID = 5 FEET
GOLIATH = 6 FOOT 7

DUKE AND BUTLER, SIMILAR SIZES, HENCE THEY'RE BOTH DAVID (NOT GOLIATHS IN PHYSICAL SIZE), ONLY DUKE HAS MORE WEAPONS.
