| 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!

Best -Indiana Hoosiers (duh) -UCSB Banana Slugs (can't go wrong with this) -Oklahoma Sooners (original, historical, and their mascot is pretty cool too) -New York Knicks (named after knickerbocker street, plus it sounds cool) -Detroit Pistons (original, and unique to the city) Worst -Purdue Boilermakers (huh? and duh.) -Georgetown Hoyas (huh?) -Charlotte Bobcats (named after their ex-owner. seriously.) -Utah Jazz (what's so jazzy about utah?) -Los Angeles Lakers & Clippers (both nicknames taken from their former cities) -Memphis Grizzlies (makes sense in vancouver, not in memphis) -Akron Zips (seriously? a kangaroo?) |

The Jazz is also taken from its former city. |

“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

Monticello, AR is cotton country. The boll weevil was the bane of cotton farmers during the early 1900's, and had a very negative impact on the economy of Arkansas both before and during the Great Depression. The name is silly, but does bear some significance to the area. |

I always like how mascots are significant to the area. But come on, it's a beetle. |
