TAKE A LOOK
James Brown’s “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag.”
Man, I think I needed that win as bad as the IU team did. Is that terrible? It has been a rough couple years and then with football and soccer this year. My dad says he does not remember IU sports, as a whole, being down like this. I guess we have no place to go but up up up!
Where are those nay-sayers from yesterday?? Husky T? the mask? I think Husky T should stop watching for the rest of the season. Worked out well for the team last night. And the mask, keep the negativity coming! I think thats exactly what this team and program needs. Thanks for being TRUE FANS guys!!
😆 you’re welcome!
Biggest win yet, but it’s just one to build on.
Good job, Hoosiers, now keep working!
Absolutely did something to help the B10 Conference in the eyes of others, given that IU is expected to finish last in the conference and Pitt is predicted to finish ninth out of sixteen in the Big East. The rest of the conference teams thank you.
You will be successful this year if you focus on three things and three things alone. 1) Your studies, 2) your families, and 3) the Green Bay Packers.
Dave, the Jimmy V-doing-Lombardi reference is not only apropos of this week, but made me laugh out loud and alarm my droopy-eyed coworkers! Good job, man!!
GO PACK GO!
I wonder what this team could do if they had Devin Ebanks in the fold…
Geoff-
Verdell Jones is developing faster than Ebanks.
