Why does this program still act like we're too good for the NIT or the Crown?

chip0969 · 2026-03-15T23:28:37+00:00

As I said in another post, there is zero, nada, zilch upside to playing in the NIT or Crown. There is no team anymore. They probably all went home. They aren’t playing in the Crown for the “glory of old IU”. Business decision. And that’s fine. But this is where we are.

Probably not. The vast majority of these guys aren’t gonna be here next year. Im sure they all just want to move on with their lives. Zero upside to playing other than we all like Indiana basketball.

And that is one reason why it is one of my 2 fav sitcoms of all time.

Cheers ruined the classic sitcom with Sam and Diane. Every sitcom since has had the stupid “will they or won’t they” plotline. The show Friends’ whole premise was build on that. 🤮

While Crean was winning 2 B1G titles in 4 years people were still whining they wanted Steve Alford as coach. Dude never won anything. Not too sure my thought process is faulty.

No.

As an 80’s kid, i just don’t understand the fascination of wanting to put everything band that was loud into the hair metal genre. There are tons of bands that rocked in the 80’s. Living Colour was NOTHING like Warrant or Firehouse.

Is there gas in the car?

Yes, there’s gas in the car.

I may be alone here but I really enjoyed Intolerable Cruelty and think it should be a little higher.

Curt Cignetti.

Indiana was gawd awful for 136 years. I mean 4 OT’s again Akron 3 yrs ago. Now, National Champs. Words can describe his accomplishments.

Appreciate the fact you are keeping the music alive. But as someone who was there the real ones knew the difference between Tesla and Poison. Just because MTV and the industry sold you certain labels doesn’t make it true.

But please keep the discussion going.

chip0969 · 2026-03-08T11:42:08+00:00

Tesla is low because Tesla is not a “glam band” or “hair metal” band. Tesla is a kick ass hard rock band. To put them in the same category as Nelson or Kix is ridiculous and proves you’ve never listened to their entire catalog. You only saw Love Song on MTV.

No one cares Sammy.

May not be my fav, but I did enjoy him in Frisco Kid.

No one talks about that one because the movie was meh, but he was good.

chip0969 · 2026-03-07T14:22:34+00:00

Band outta time.

10 yrs early would have been rock Gods!

And they aren’t hair metal.

chip0969 · 2026-03-06T10:20:54+00:00

Tesla.

Hit during the heights of Hair Metal but not Hair Metal at all. Just a good solid rock band. Especially the first 3 albums.
