I think we have all gotten into some pettiness and arguments in here off and on and a lot of it is because in my opinion, we have sucked for so many years in a row lol. Let’s hope we are done with the losing and can get back to some positivity. Like they say., winning cures all ills.

Jevin watched full practices on Monday and Tuesday this week. Here are the highlights of his team comments. The team is very tall. Both practices were very intense as there is more competition for playing time. During those practices Snow, Jones, and Funk ran most of the drills. The team is more familiar with the schemes this year and it shows. Rags commented that Toumi stood out last year as a giant on the team and now looks like an average size player. Rags wants the team to play uptempo and fast. Jevin could see an 8-9 player rotation.
Jevin thoughts about individual players. He expects Thomas and CBIII to lead the break. He thought CBIII has a Big10 body, has improved his outside shooting over the summer, will still make freshmen mistakes, but will get lots of playing time. He also thinks the fans will love Ben H. - typical Indiana hoopster with high IQ and outside shooting. Josh Hughes impressed him with how aggressive he was offensively. Looks to have a great upside for future years. Haffner was more athletic than he expected. Cam is a leaper and is a lights out shooter when left open. He think Kenny will be more patient this year as Kenny feels the team will have more scoring options surrounding him and that he will not have to force up shots to score points.
Looking forward to Meeks Madness to see the team in person.

Not bad and a definite improvement over what I have seen the past couple years. I was not a big fan of the pre-game video from last year, so hopefully this year it will be better.

I hate to be negative, but the last few years have been awful. Using a whiny song from a drug commercial is never a good way to fire the crowd up. I wouldn't harp on it because they did a lot of things right last year, especially bringing the band back. The best hype video by far and away was the one with Rami, I think from the 19-20 season. Got the place rocking while the crowd sang along, the ribbon boards were in sync and best of all it featured a successful UE alum. IMO, that song and intro should be used every year, with just some modifications to keep it fresh. I remember the Murray fans posting on twitter after our game that year that they wished Murray could put a hype video up like that one. The first year the Ford opened was pretty good as well, with the history.

I just watched the ome last year just standing there. Nothing to get excited about.

Agree, need something the crowd can get into. They should show it to some fans for approval before it gets released.
The volleyball video from this year is not good either....it is like nails on a chalkboard when I watch it.

I think the hype music kinda sucks. Am I wrong?

Here is the one from the opening season at the Ford. Decent, but still prefer the Rami one from 2019. Can't find it anywhere. Somebody has it on file somewhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctorMLCRvz4

I think my favorite was the video that featured “Centuries” by Fallout Boy

Well, I did recommend some old school Beastie Boys for the hype up music, but I guess they passed on that.

What would be cool is if you could get The Watson Twins and Rami to work together and collaborate on a hype video. Yes, I get that hype-type music isn't what they typically do, but all three are incredibly talented and I am certain given the parameters of the task, they could put something amazing together.
