Thanks Ray the Jersey stays on and I will join my fellow Hoosiers by going ooohhhhh and ahhhhhhhhh throughout the games. You know what separates us from other programs is that we remember all of our players that play hard. Fancy skills are great, but give me a kid with heart and willing take a charge. Go Hoosiers.

lastly, jaime you should continue to wear the moye jersey! if i had to name any one player that i believe wore the “indiana” on his chest with more pride and confidence than any other, he would be at the top of my list for certain. aj moye was so much bigger than what can be measured in feet and inches. a-j-moy-e! without aj, ej may not be hearing his initials chanted from the voice box of the entire Hall…and there is a reason for that. KEEP AJ MOYE ALIVE…HE’S A HOOSIER FOR LIFE!

It’s funny how some people hold higher standards of other people than they do themselves. Some people just can’t let things go. I think we all have screw more than once. I agree that the head on the greatest basketball school on planet earth should be the best he can be but he is only human and from what was reported…he did not make any calls from his phone nor take off campus visits. Phone call are a little different then giving cars, cash, etc. I agree with Jaime this is going to be a special year so let’s get on with playing basketball. Go Hoosiers.

oh, and by the way, whoever thinks that aj ratliff won’t make any difference to this iu team you are strongly mistaken. i agree he may not get the minutes he wants, but when he comes onto the floor he’ll have scoring spurts and i can assure you his on the ball defense will be gladly welcomed by sampson who can’t possibly be too pleased with the efforts of most of his players to this point. aj had a tough time in the classroom, but it doesn’t make him less of a player. there are a lot of students who struggle with certain classes…trust this coming from someone who finished 4th in his high school class and was gifted at math, yet who could barely pass a basic college course in math (it just wasn’t any kind of math i was used to, or interested in for that matter).

thanks for everyone who put Jacob in his place, and a special thank you to jaime for suggesting to others with similar issues to enjoy this moment or root for another team. if sampson isn’t your guy, do what everyone else does and root for unc or duke…they are always welcoming out-of-town fans to join their bandwagon! for all of you true hoosier fans out there that can put a couple of phone calls behind you and root for these young kids playing some high caliber basketball, let the games begin…TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT IT ALL BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!

“Perhaps he had the flu or needed to study”

Ha…Yeah, I would have to go with the latter. Just a guess, but, you know.

Oh, and Jaime…wear the Moye jersey!!

Perhaps he had the flu or needed to study. It’s really no one’s business. Gee whiz.

Yeah what neal E said. This is going to be a special year starting at 7pm tonight (loveeeeeeee the big ten network). Either root for them, or join those jerks at Purdue. We can’t have infighting amongst us, because believe me the rest of the nation is enjoying this because it means that they will profit with one less powerhouse program. Be composed and have a good time.

Thanks again for the advice about the Jersey. I will continue to wear it without regret, because you guys are right. He is a warrior and he put everything out on the floor. However, I think I will buy a #23 Jersey later, because if we beat UNC-Chapel HIll during the tournament and win a championship I will march right in the middle of the UNC campus with my IU gear playing we are the champions ( I might have stuff thrown at me, but that would actually pump me up). Thanks again guys.
