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

That was a great article, ok, did anyone see Victor go up in the stands and hug a man at the end of the Mich game? Then he was crying afterwards? I assumed that was his Dad, but I guess it probably wasn't after reading this article.

I actually thought that was Watford's dad. Sort of looked like him.

So hard for me to fathom a Dad with a son as accomplished as Oladipo would not do everything he could to be there to see him play!

Great article, special young man despite his relationship with his father. Tells you what kind of person his mother is.
