Just seeing that guy out there really irritates me. I don’t believe he’s allowed to do Big 10 games and I think the ACC also banned him. He may be done.
Your Age and when
- Thread starter bbafficionado
- Start date
A couple years older but similar time frames at IU. Loved when some of the guys would play at the HPER especially how athletic Tolbert was. Were friends with Glen Grunwald who was so unfortunate to blow out both knees prior to his freshman season. He never had the chance to fulfill his basketball talent coming out of high school the number two player in the United States behind Bill Cartwright. We were watching from Boisen 4 when we beat PU in the NIT some were shooting bottle rockets out the window towards the courtyard and even at people. We were crazy stupid college students.
I did not. I went to IPFW. My youngest daughter graduated from IU a couple of years ago. She was in the same sorority as her grandmother (my mom). I think it was quite a bit different from it was in 1953.
IU northwest (Gary) Da Region. Dad would not pay to send me south but paid for this. Went to work for him after this which is what he really wanted and it worked out great for both of us.
Sorry about dad passing and I know how great it was to have a dad that brings back good memory's along with enjoying a Hoosier game with.
Absolutely. My blood pressure is rising right now. I can see it like it was yesterday. I think Valentine is finally done reffing. At least I have not seen him. I think I would punch him if I ever ran into him.
Absolutely. Grunwald was super highly touted and his knee injuries ruined that. However, he contributed and did very well after his playing career.
58... 76 was the first year I watched and I guess it hooked and spoiled me! I'd have been 10 also.
He was just doing a UNC game I was watching like 2 weeks ago. As soon as I saw the ref gesturing like mad, I was like "Damn, no way!"
were they big saggy titties? don't give up on them you have some perkies in your future
Iu didn’t lose to uk in the final 462, but a young 62!I was sort of paying attention to IU before 74-75 but became a diehard IU fan during that season. When IU lost to UK in the Final Four, I became a diehard UK hater as well.
You’re right. It was Elite Eight. I was a kid. However, that team was the best team in the country if May hadn’t been injured.
Most definitely.
I thought I saw him a week or so ago. Dont remember the game, but couldnt forget that cocky look on his face. What a JA
Coeds kurt. They don't make em saggy! The dads with the old school cam corders can attest. I remember laughing my ass off at that!! Ahh the days before the iPhone.
The early 90’’s teams we so fun to watch. Alan Henderson’s knee injury proved devastating to the ‘93 teams chances at a National Championship, but the memories those guys provided were second to none. Not only were they all good players, they were all the type you liked rooting for. I remember how heartbroken I felt after we lost to Kansas 83-77 in St Louis, knowing you wouldn’t see that group ever play together again. The younger IU fans of today have no idea how much fun it is when Indiana basketball is rolling. It’s also why us older fans as more desperate than ever to get back to it.
Thanks for sharing. Being from South Bend I knew and played against many from the region. My favorite three high school teams.
Milan lost to South Bend Central at State - "Hoosiers" Marvin Wood who was real coach ended up coaching at Mishawaka high school.
Indianapolis Washington - McGinnis and Downing
- !971 East Chicago Washington = Junior Bridgeman. Pete Trgovich and Tim Stoddard. Two great college players and played in the NBA and a MLB pitcher. Not bad for one high school team.

Correct-- I guess we're all so old our memories are getting a little foggy haha.
It was a regional played at Rupp. I remember watching the game and thinking the fix was in.
And I always thought I was right because they changed the rule the following year that you could not have a regional on your home court.
Hhhmm...
Typically, there are two allegiances you get from your parents: your religious denomination and your college team affiliation. Figure birth on both for most of us.
I always said if I ever ran into Bob Guyette (sp) I would hit him like he did on Scott Mays soft cast that he tried to play with if my memory serves me right. LOL
47 years old and right around 1983. Primarily because I remember watching Uwe Blab. Not that he was my favorite player but his name was so unusual, it just stood out.

I fact checked myself and May only played 7 minutes in our 92-90. Kent Benson 33 points and Steve Green 17. Mike Flynn 22 points, Kevin Grevey and Jimmy Dan Conner 17 each for Kentucky. May and Guyette both had two points and Guyette had four fouls.
81-82 season. I fondly remember Wittman/Kitchel's 83 Big Ten championship team. It was such a nailbiter season and they pulled it off
I've turned 39 so many times I can't remember the exact count. But it is approaching 39 too.
But I can remember listening to IU on the radio and Don Schlundt lighting it up.
Next up was Archie Dees for the Hoosiers (on TV ?, maybe).
Jimmy Rayl and Walt Bellamy were were fun to watch during the 1st IU games I viewed on TV. Just a side note on Bellamy, he was the most devastating rebounder in my memory which includes Wilt, Russell, Unseld and Alcindor.
All time favorite IUBB players Bellamy, Bobbie Wilkerson, Woodson and of course Cal. If I rated them 1 thru 4 I'd hate to live on the difference that would separate them. But those NC teams of Knight's + the early 90's teams were sweet as pure honey running the motion offense.
HAIL IU.

I was 10 when I would listen to Rayl and Bolyard on my transistor radio. I was supposed to be sleeping but I got under the blanket so my folks couldn’t hear the radio. My favorite rivalry was Ohio State with Lucas, Havlicek. and Bobby Knight. That was around 1960.
I believe that was Todd Leary that came off the bench and hit those 3's.
Looks like I'm the oldest one to respond--85--and I'm a female. My first memory of IU basketball was listening to the second national championship game on the radio. Then, I attended IU 1956-60, and I am still a diehard fan, win or lose!
It was Todd Leary.
45. First season I really remember was 1987. Good year to start watching. Can't believe we haven't done it again since. Knight was fired my senior year at IU. Haven't been the same program since.
It was at the age of 11 when I first watched Jimmy Rahl chuck 'em from the cheap seats and Walt Bellamy dominate the boards. It was then when I became sold on IU! Hell yes, I'm a fossil! Those games were watched on a black and white set with the signal coming through a rusty antenna. "Chesty" was the "go to" chip! And the only "peacock" I knew of was a bird in a zoo🤣 I remember when a friend who was attending Army spoke with me on the phone and mentioned that they were losing their basketball coach, Bob Knight, to Indiana. He went on to say that IU was getting a strict no-nonsense brilliant strategic coach who really knows his "x's and o's." And a few years later, I was fortunate to witness one of the best college teams ever and the last one to finish a perfect season. Two more NCAA Championship banners followed. Cherished memories! We enjoyed some many good seasons and some under achieving ones, as well, but now, well, at age 74, sadly, I highly doubt that I will witness banner #6😥 I truly hope I'm wrong.
41. Calbert Cheaney's freshman year-1989-1990.
I wish the rumor of him and some lady of the night would pop back up here. She said Ted was talking about being taken cared of for taking Knight out. But then again, she coulda been a crackhead lol. Something to do with the week earlier bullwhip ordeal with Calbert Cheaney.
The year my uncle graduated from IU. He introduced me to Indiana sports
