I was wondering....

when all of you college bb ball fans and IU detractors were going to start talking about the new article by ESPN on IU. Find and read the article and let us know what you think. I have my opinion, having known all (most) of the people involved personally.....I'll wait and see what you guys think first though....read the whole thing!!!!

I'll save you the time....here is the link.

I will try and read it before the weekend is out. I have read about half of it so far. Jeez that things is a novel!

I think it's an attempt to Keep IU baskeetball from getting back to it;'s Tradition of winning again by some jealous people / programs....

Looks and seems to be like the same sort of program that UK is assoc. with and so far nothing has come of it. Just other programs and people attempting to throw discredit at the program again and again.

Jealous of What?

Yes Mills, that is exactly what it is. No way, shape or form would ESPN want IU to be good! Its a consipiracy theory, no two ways about it!

You can't be serious!!!! Even wearing UK blinders shouldn't make you that ignorant! Until this year we had been to the National Champ. game since UK had. We have had some rough years lately, what program doesn't at some point. I do not like Kentucky, but I can admit how good their program has been over the years.

I took a look but realized it was way too long for me to read. I skipped straight to the comments section, like normal!

Is there a set of Cliff Notes available? In my UNBIASED opinion, Kentucky is GREAT, the SEC is great, Indiana is terrible, Louisville is terrible, The Big East is terrible and The Big Ten is terrible.

Man -O-Man, i do believe their is some fear of the Great Indiana Basketball program re-surfacing among the best again is worrying some folks on this board. Yeah we had our bad times with what that jerk coach Sampson brought to our program. But look out baby were coming back and coming back strong. Say what you will about our program, but we'll back spankin your ass's again on the hardwood soon enough....

Like i said all along...gut any program in the Country and see just how long it takes any program to get back to their once ( ELITE ) status again.....Takes time to get kids to come back to a great tradition and believe that the program is clean again and all the riff raff is gone....

Not much to talk about on how far a program has made it since say 2000 and IU's National Title game a few years later for all the local 3 area schools....

Titla game for IU

Final 4 for UK

Final 4 for U of L

That's the closest any of the 3 schools have come to the Championship.....

What...... Why look who has come the closest to winning the Championship...None other than Indiana baby........
