    Let me summarize ITH for you in my 'world"

    Logon to computer:
    1. Check ITH to see if KI has signed
    2. Check my hotmail
    3. Check ITH to see if KI has signed
    4. Dinner, Family, a little TV, nightly prayers for family, country, and the signing of KI
    5. Check ITH to see if KI has signed

    I'm not kidding, and this is during the offseason.

    Certainly seems that way. Only kidding, Kelin. (Sort of.)

    WHEN KI signs, I want KB mentioned in the article. I don't have much, but I'll put a $5 donation on it. Will anyone else match my contribution on that? $10 if it's in the headline!
  • Kelin Blab · 3 months ago
    When KI signs I will more that likely be the first one to post something about it.......

    I probaly would have been the most hated man on ITH years ago if it existed during the Mike Davis era. They hated me on Firemikedavis.com as I defended Mike D for as long as I could, up until he lost oden and didn't recruit Gordon and Conley......nothing else I could do.....

    Thanks for the update. Sometimes I still have trouble logging into Disqus from my home computer. I'll put in username and password and it acts like it wants to do something, but then goes back to original page and I have to comment as a guest. If I can get that worked out, this is a great site and fun to interact with everyone whether we all agree or not. Go Hoosiers!!

    This is such a great place for me to come when I want to go to my happy place. As everyone here I am passionate about my hoosiers, and I don't know what I would do if i couldn't get wonderful updates from ITH. Great work guys.

    The new design has been easy to adapt to, in my opinion. I log in every morning (after I turn on ESPN Radio on-line) and check out the new news, then check almost every link to the right-->.
    Then I do some work for an hour or two then see if there is anything new. Then repeat.
    I enjoy seeing the comments from fellow IU fans. I have to say out of all the places I go for news about IU basketball (I do root for the football team, but that is an exercise in futility. It's like when Einstein said the definition of insanity is, "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." I am insane.) this site is my absolute favorite. Alex, Ryan, Eamonn - keep up the fantastic work.

    Love the site, keep up the great work! Did anyone see Pitino hired Pike High School's top assistant? Man, full court press on Teague. I'll be honest, I would love for Marquis Teague to come to Indiana but I have my doubts about him. His father is constantly in the news, his brother disappeared at times at Wake Forest and now he has this package deal thing with the 'Ville. I would rather have KI anyway. Football season starts tonight, another sign basketball season at IU is close!

    As bad as it looks, this type of thing happens everyday in college basketball. It's part of the "game" in a business that is extremely competitive. Bottom line: You land top players and win games or you are replaced by someone who will.

    On a side note, Indiana hired Travis Steele as video coordinator to help in the recruitment of Eric Gordon.
  • CreamandCrimson · 3 months ago
    I am well aware that it happens all the time and that it is part of the recruiting game. You're right, win or get out. There is no question that if Rick Pitino had not been winning big at Louisville, his recent scandal would have gotten him fired pretty quickly.
    I remember Indiana hiring Travis Steele to help recruit Eric Gordon. I didn't say this was right or wrong, just pointing it out. There was a column written by Rick Bozich (think that's his name) about how important this recruit was to Pitino. No doubt he is extremely talented and like I said, I would love to have him at IU. However, I would rather have KI.
