What? It’s not my board. I’m allowed to express my opinion too. I didn’t say you couldn’t post whatever you want. I just think it’s a stupid thread. Cheerleading uniforms have nothing to do with recruiting.
Yea RBB gotta be, YUPPERS, sure if YOU say so...Thanks for your well thought out contribution to the thread.
This is from row 14 (out of 16) in the corner of the balcony. I’ve sat all throughout both balconies. It’s not an issue now that the giant railings are gone. It’s never been an issue on the main level either, the only problem there was with seeing the scoreboard, and they have monitors under there now.
Then what is the argument here? He keeps saying to get out of 1987. You have people here writing paragraph after paragraph about cheerleaders and how they’re dressed, so there is obviously some crucial reason to change them. What is it?Yea RBB gotta be, YUPPERS, sure if YOU say so...Thanks for your well thought out contribution to the thread.
Even Texas CHRISTIAN University. 'Nuff said.
My seats Sunday against NW was in section F row 32 which is the last section on the bench side of the arena. My seat was the last one in my row and I was right up against the wall and could see the whole court and score board. The only thing I could not see was everyone in the bleachers behind that goal on my end of the court.When is the last time you actually attended a sporting event in person? There are chairs on the sidelines at pretty much every arena in existence this point. And honestly I have no idea what you’re even complaining about. What part of the court am I missing here?

lmao,
did you not even look at the pic you posted.
you can't see the near sideline, just as i stated in the post you responded to, other than where the chairs are empty, and none are empty once the game starts.
the lower down you are, the more of the near side of the court is blocked by those in the chairs.
you don't even have a view of the east sideline on tv anymore, because of the chairs.
those chairs have absolutely no business being there, and they are a giant middle finger salute from Fred to everyone in the front rows of the floor bleachers..
but yes, i do realize there's a much better chance we'll have advertising on the back of those chairs, than that they'll be removed.

Don't you know that RBB is always right, and we are all fools for saying anything negative about IU Athletics?
He says the students don't show up. Well how about putting them on the floor and giving them the BEST seats in the arena instead of up in the balconies. It's about the students. It shouldn't be about the almighty $.
Do it like Duke does, the students get the best seats, and the alumni, no matter how much they donate, get the worse seats. I know he'll call my dumb and insult me like he does anyone who disagrees with him.
If IU is not going to tear down AH, than switch the seating around. IU has it backward. Put the kids down low, and other prospective student-athletes and ball players will want to come here more.
And, because I know RBB is going to hate this:
No kidding. They’ve been there since they removed the old media table along the sideline, which was around 2004 or 2005 I think.
Yeah it’s really hard to take you seriously when you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Those chairs were installed around 2005, and Glass was hired in 2009. Also, before those chairs were there, there was a media table which was the length of the court, with chairs behind them. In the exact same location. So the view was exactly the same. This is ludicrous.lmao,

Makes you realize how tough it is to get a good seat as a member of the general public...most people say ‘lower 25 rows only’ when looking for tix...there just arent that many public tickets available. And shows the donation that some are required for their good seats.You are correct. 7,800 of 17,222 is for students, including plenty of good seats.
I’m all for giving both sets of end-bleachers to the students. They already get the band side bleachers. I bet the students would like that, and would add to what you are pointing towards.The students should be in the orange, green, and yellow, and blue sections. I guarantee they'd show up. Put them on top of the action, like most other big-time programs do.
And cue the "revenue" talk.....here it goes.
This is what it should look like. STUDENTS with the best seats! What a novel concept.
I didn't think anyone would be able top the OP as far as offensiveness goes, but this one did it for me. I hope this was just a poor choice of example, but a "facilities upgrade?" Seriously? Can you dehumanize the cheerleaders any more than that? I understand that many view them as just eye candy, but I can assure you that the IU cheer program takes what they do incredibly seriously...including the details of the uniforms. My wife was part of the crimson squad for 4 years.

The problem with your example is that MSU and other “big-time” programs have no where near the number of student tickets that IU reserves. That also plays a role and yet the students still have main and end floor tickets.I’m all for giving both sets of end-bleachers to the students. They already get the band side bleachers.

Actually, I'm a Hoosier as well ('03). Thanks for keeping it classy, though.A boiler marrying a Hoosier Cheerleader...I remember meeting you all...she was practice squad, but they never let her cheer in the games
Glad you two are doing well...
I hope you have at least some desire to win basketball games by out playing the competition rather than by creating an artificially charged atmosphere that encourages unruly behavior by rude students to insult and distract the opponents. You don’t seem to talk much about winning by playing good basketball. I know, I know, you want to be just like those wonderful privileged twerps at Duke.
Change, or get left behind. I'm not ignoring the coaching and x's and o's, but, let's face it, we need all the help we can get.
Some tweaks wold help along way into not only getting the top recruits, but also making sure they play in a rocking, intimidating environment which severely helps the home team and rattles the visitors.
Yeah we’ll i thought the fat heads were the lamest thing I’ve ever seen. Embarrassing.
