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

Looking at the roster, it's a valid point. Most of the guys complained about on here (Pritchard, Jones, Roth) were signed when Crean was still scrambling to put a team together. Maybe they were exactly what he wanted, but I'm thinking they were more whatever he could get his hands on. I mean does anyone here want to trade any of the younger players? Hulls? Oladipo? Watford? Capo, I'm sure. But of the 7 freshmen and sophomores we have, 6 look like they have the potential to be very good upperclassmen. The program IS getting better, even if it doesn't look like it from a game to game basis.

Good article and I agree completely. Like it or not we're just going to have to be patient.

THANK YOU for posting this. It's what many of us have been trying to say all season. The IU Nation is over reacting to this season. This reaction is fueled by completely unrealistic expectations.

Give it time. We'll be back.

I mean, just look at our 4 upperclassmen...you don't win with that. You just don't.

It was a good article and it raise some good points.

By the way Btown, it was more tastefully done than your smouching on Crean's ass way. ;) Do you swallow, kind of swash it around your mouth and spit it out, or just let Crean blow it all over your face? Just curious! ;)





























I hope you know I am just messing with you! :cheers:
I think you are a good guy and your positive outlook keeps most of us from going off the deep end.

I wouldn't consider it a "positive outlook." Rather, it's a realistic one...that just so happens to be positive :)

agreed. so let's not play them as much to maximize the development of those we can win with in the future.
