I am hearing some rumblings on other social media sights, dare I more than hope that

There are multiple services that rank attractiveness of college campuses. Of course they are subjective. But IU is almost always in the top 10.
My favorite time in Bloomington as a student was actually the summer I took classes between junior and senior years. Loved walking the campus with fewer people and just the vibe on the perimeters, ie 10th and Indiana. Lived in cottage grove that summer. Great great summer! Loved going to Yogi’s. Spring and fall are also great. What deducts points for me is the 40 consecutive days of not seeing rhe sun one winter that I kept track in my notebook. But when it snowed and the campus was blanketed in white, wow! Gorgeous. I tell everyone that starting with fall semester my freshman year, each semester was the best I ever had. Just kept getting better.
 
Unless I’m a college student I doubt I give a sht about campus beauty. And even then…. It’s not like I bee line it for Ga Te h’s campus every…..well, ever.

Dunn Meadow in Springtime was a natural attraction to me with its limestone-lined Jordan River banked with towering hemlocks. I also loved the red-bricked pathways through the adjacent woods to the south. Those were good times, graced by spiritual awakenings discovered in magical places of the mind and body.
 
Let's see we added Wilkerson, DeVries, Bailey, and Enright DeVries was a given so we add 3 guys please amazing top notch.

We rank #55 in the portal in team rankings -4. Lots of work to do....

Can't you at least wait to bitch until after the team is finalized? You asked in another post if wearing a ND jacket makes you a jerk. This is why no one on here likes you.

You are a negative troll. At this point it would be better if everyone just put yiu on ignore. Guy like you thrives off negativity.

Wow I'm troll because I like ND football. Indiana didn't have a football team that was any good growing up so that why I am a Notre Dame fan. Most people I know are ND football iu basketball fans. Second I am negative because our program has sucked the last 20 years and until we win I will be a old man sitting on my lawn.

I was a ND fan at the age of 8-9 in 64'. I followed IU since Lou Watson in 68'-69 so basically 13 years old.'. I watched Dantley,Carr and Shumate play but those candy stripes drew me away. I was happy IU football played so well last year. But I will never cede my love for Notre Dame football. I survived BK, so I can survive a few name callers about"reversible" jackets. But my greatest hope is to see IU win a championship again and ND win one in FB.

Despite that apparel he wore. Lol Last good coach they had. But I always tried to emulate AD because he was a warrior. I thought Muffett McGraw and Digger always had similar coaching styles in how they approached their roster usage.

on 3 has us ranked 55, but has Devries Bailey and Wilkerson in there top 30, that doesn't make sense
Yes it does, they look at the transfer portal as a two way street, transfer portal commits vs transfer portal player exit, IU has had 8 players exit in the portal, versus 4 commits, that's why IU is at a negative 4.

ok, thought it was based on just the incoming players.

So basically you became an IU fan when RMK had IU winning BIG TIME.

I think most reversible jacket fans are that way because ND won big in football and IU won big in Bball.
People like winners. That's why the Yankees have fans across the country.

When I was a kid in the 70s, almost everyone was a Cowboys or Steelers fan. Don't think any of my friends were Bengals, Lions, Bears, or Browns fans. You'd see some Packers fans occasionally, then Denver converted a few around the time of Orange Crush.

No I said I followed Lou Watson first before the even had hire Knight. George McGinnis and Bubbles Harris were my guys! So don't act like I knew Knight was going to be hired almost 2-3 years before he came on the scene. Remember McGinnis left for ABA BEFORE Knight showed up. So that busts your theory all to hell. I hate the Yankees. Been a Reds fan all through childhood before the Big Red machine. So don't play that failed card too. Mr. Beano.

So rankings don't matter? 7 of the 10 made the tournament with really 8 because West Virgina got screwed.

1 Lousville
2 Kansas
3 West Virgina
4 Indiana
5 Nebraska
6 Miss State
7 Texas Tech
8 Georgia
9 Michigan
10 St Johns
You are claiming that portal rankings are predictive of tournament success

1) Lville eliminated first round
2) Kansas eliminated first round
3) West Virginia didn’t make tourny
4) Indiana didn’t make tourny
5) Nebraska didn’t make tourny
6) Mississippi State eliminated first round
7) TTU eliminated elite eight
8) Georgia eliminated first round
9) Michigan eliminated sweet sixteen
10) St John’s eliminated second round

I don’t know whose rankings these are but different services have different portal rankings so first clue they have an an element of subjectivity.

It looks like still need to play the season and tourney rather than just naming the champion based on portal rankings.

It would seem you are the atypical reverse jacket fan. Most if not 99% of them became fans when IU had Knight. Winning does that.

For context, I grew up in a black and urine area. You couldn't have bought an IU shirt here in a regular store to save your life. When IU won in 76, some more IU buzz happened, after 81 much more and then after 87, EVERYONE was an IU fan and had been their entire lives. Really pissed me off. Now that IU has not been at the apex the last decade +, this area has went back closer to how it was.

True "fans" show their true colors.

I apologize if I misjudged you.

What? Are you kidding me? Apologies are not the way of this board! You now need to insult his intelligence and basketball knowledge. We are stuck in junior high school here, not reasonable adults for God’s sake.

Don’t just consider winning, consider losing. Also, consider where the person is from.

I believe IU won a total of 1 FB game b/t my Freshman and sophomore years, So, I was an IUBB fan that didn’t care about FB. I had a good friend, from South Bend, an IUBB fan and NDFB fan. He went to IU and wanted to see IU win in FB, but I see so issue that he was more fanatical about Irish football.

I really don’t see the big deal. I went to IU, that doesn’t mean I have to care about all IU sports. I’m sure if I went to a big time football school, I would be a huge college FB fan.

I understand why you want to justify it, and I’m not saying you and others like you aren’t actually “fans”. It just makes you less of a fan than the rest of us. All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others…

The other thing to consider is that growing up in South Bend before ESPN and B1G Network meant you never saw IU football on TV. IU basketball, on the other hand, was always on.
