Hoosier Fans Need to Remain Patient
Most people nationwide and inside the state of Indiana knew this would be a rough year for the Hoosiers.

We’re doing it because the Missouri Valley, without the assistance of Wichita St, is having a helluva pre-conference season. Northern Iowa currently sits with a RPI of 20.

We Need to Duplicate Xavier/Cincinnati
We don’t have many rivalries in any sport these days with the kind of unfiltered hate that we saw on Saturday when Xavier beat Cincinnati. I’m not talking about from fan bases. Of course Duke fans hate North Carolina fans and vice versa. Same thing with Louisville/Kentucky and Purdue/Indiana. However it was clearContinue reading “We Need to Duplicate Xavier/Cincinnati”
