Clever!!!! I have noticed you and a handful of posters when called stupid or something of that nature will just try to flip it and say I know you are but what am I. Good third grade tactic!
Do you think Juwan Howard could not land another power 5 coaching job? If so you are as dumb as your one word responses!
Scratchers! Holy hell I am a kiddo compared to you, the Gas and Gulp!!! Insult me more, take me back to the 70s this is fun and I am getting laughs out of it.
So the best case scenario for you is to bring in a mid major coach, miss the tournament two years, buy a bunch of tickets in year three, then have a break out season. Why would someone spend $35k on a coach they don’t believe in?
Ha, actually that would be my buddy @indianasportstickets. He cornered the market on the mini series tickets behind the goal. You can always purchase single games from him tho! I only have 16 or so behind the basket. So I didn't push you totally out

Anderson is what he is and i dont think that will change. Im guessing franklin will get lots more minutes than anderson.
First of all I like Archie and really want him to succeed. I think last year he gets a mulligan because of a lot of different things. However, even if I like a coach winning is all that matters. If he doesn't make the tournament this year I will want a new coach. Cant have 2 underachieving season (some could argue 3 but I think year one was fine) in a row starting off. Recruiting will tank and you lose the fanbase.
No, best case scenario is for us to be good and ranked year in and year out. People will always give up their tickets for a large lump sum before the season, and you still can double your money. I would rather pay 5 grand for season tickets and sell them for 10, then by them for 2 and sell them for 4. My goal is always to double what I pay. Sometimes I do a bit better or bit worse. IU fans pay insane amounts for tickets when we are relevant.
MrBing is right...you are pretty emotional. I hope you don't wear out your fainting couch this season.
Saw him play a bunch. Was asked to play different roles in the 3 years I saw him. He's a very underrated ball handler and played a good amount of PG yesterday. PG minutes may be limited this year, but don't be surprised to see him running point before his time is up. Very gifted athlete with good size.
No, crying about some mythical $35K on a message board is emotional.
I know having 35k sounds like a fairytale to you so does my job. I am making it all up and live in a trailer like you, got me!!!
I would rather see you eat those tickets than buy what I earned from years of donations and actually attending the games. There are enough tickets available from people I know that can't attend a game.Ha, actually that would be my buddy @indianasportstickets. He cornered the market on the mini series tickets behind the goal. You can always purchase single games from him tho! I only have 16 or so behind the basket. So I didn't push you totally out
Looks like we should go ahead and cancel the season. That really sucks because I have $35k worth of tickets.
LOL...18 year olds or currency...where ya gonna invest? (Spoiler: Both are losing propositions.)
Whatever you say, skippy. You are the one guy on the internet who is not full of crap when he talks about how much money he spends.
Since this is a message board, I guess this is where I'm supposed to claim that I spent that much on my tie.
I attend most home games and travel to a few away games every year. I saw a way to make some extra money 10 years ago in something I enjoyed a lot. Has been great ever since.
The Real bonus for me is I can Essentially go to the games for free and be able to sit in great seats.
For example I’ll be on the floor in the chair back seats for the scrimmage and first game of the year. Behind IUs bench @maryland, and whatever the best donor seats available are at MSG for UConn. Might go to more away games if we start winning.
Delta has a round trip from Indy direct for 300 bucks. I will have that much wagered on Monday night football. Most IU alums should be able to afford such things, sorry if you can’t.
Could be that Archie is seeing Franklin is better at PG than he thought or that Durham is a better option at the 2 or 3rd guard spot than PG.
My guess is we start the year Durham the first guard off the bench at either spot and Franklin backing up the 2. It might change
Maybe he is Batman and will take the Bat Plane.
I usually take the helo from my house to the airport and then take my jet. Sometimes I fly them myself to give my pilots a break.
I've been told from someone who I consider reliable that Archie has stated he plans to use Franklin in a PG role. When is TBD, but you'll see it happen.
I misunderstood your position on Archie. I’m in the same boat. He has to make the tournament this year. It sounds like you have figured out the ticket system. Best of luck to you this year.
I have a much better handle on it then 5 years ago. A lot of trial and error. @iubud would be happy to know I have been in situations where I waited too long and have been stuck with 20+ tickets to a game that I can’t even sell for 6 bucks on stubhub. Sometimes the market just plummets.
I made a shitton of money in school selling student tickets to alumni. Easy to do back then. Collected fee receipts from women and stoners that did not want to go and bought 40 season tickets. Alumni coming from Nick's paid nicely and I kept a sweet pair for myself each game.
Young entrepreneur you were. The great seats for free part is very gratifying. And if you can make some money and get free tickets? Can’t beat it.
$200 a game for shitty games, $400 for good games and a grand for big games. The other guys doing this were from the Jewish fraternity. We cut a deal my second year when I was sick of it anyway and I sold them a bulk package for enough to drink for a semester. God bless capitalism.
Except IU lost. In a real game (otherwise everything else the same) they would've done much worse since Franklin had 7 fouls in the scrimmage. You can try to parse the box score to glean information but even that is suspect with the exception of FT shooting - which IU struggled at.
