How to watch IU’s first exhibition game for free

by in Site News | November 1st, 2011

Indiana’s first exhibition game on Saturday against the University of Indianapolis at Assembly Hall will not be available as a live broadcast on the Big Ten Network.

It will, however, be available via streaming video on BTN.com for a fee. Unless you use this coupon code: BTDN3FR33, which gives you access to the BTN.com streaming service for free for one month.

No word on how long this offer will last, but here are instructions to redeem the deal and receive a free month of the service:

– Visit video.btn.com
– Click “subscribe” in the top right corner
– Follow the directions to create an account
– Select “Big Ten Digital Network Monthly Subscription $14.95″
– Enter the coupon code BTDN3FR33 and click “Apply Coupon”
– You will see a blue line of text above that says “Applied the coupon:BTDN3FR33, please choose a product or click Clear Coupon to start over.” Your product selected will now say: “Big Ten Digital Network Monthly. First month free, then only $14.95 per month.”
– Fill out payment and contact information, check the “I Agree” box and click “Subscribe” to finalize purchase process

As long as you cancel before the end of the 30-day trial, you will not be billed. IU’s meeting with Stetson on Dec. 4 will also be on BTN.com as will the North Carolina Central game on Feb. 22.

Four years of change

by in Site News | June 26th, 2011

It’s a Friday night in October, damn near midnight, and we’ve finally arrived in Bloomington.

We’re staying way west of campus, because when you plan trips like this with old college friends at the last minute, options are limited.

A cab picks us up. We’re headed to Kilroy’s. Our driver tells us his family used to gather round the television for Saturday Indiana basketball games without fail during the Bob Knight era. But since The General’s been gone, he refuses to watch. Once a pillar of love, Indiana hoops has turned his heart hard.

I tell him to give Tom Crean and the new guys a chance. Tell him Crean values a lot of the same things Knight did: Academics, graduation rates, young men of character.

As we exit the cab, I don’t think I’ve changed his mind.

Kilroy’s is different. Unrecognizable, even. The booths along its south wall have vanished for a stairway to a second floor. The famed birth canal — inconvenient as it was — is gone. There’s a patio out back now.

This is not what I remember. This is not how it was.

And maybe, just maybe, I can empathize with our cab driver.

###

We’re walking across 17th from the tailgate fields — which are more tame these days — to Memorial Stadium. With its recent addition, the stands now wrap behind the north end zone. The sun shines off its glass.

It’s nice.

I see the newly-constructed Cook Hall in the parking lot to the east. Kids in my dorm at Briscoe used to park their cars there. Now, brand-new courts and whirlpools and weights and 24-hour access entry points reside, and the state’s finest high-school basketball talent comes for open gyms to get their first taste of the program.

It’s a strong first impression.

The five banners inside Assembly Hall, once the defining trait of the program, don’t matter as much to these kids born years after Keith Smart hit that baseline bucket.

Site News: ITH mobile theme now available

by in Site News | May 28th, 2011

Earlier this afternoon, we launched a mobile-friendly version of Inside the Hall that you’ll now see when you access the site from your mobile device. (It was originally launched earlier in the week, but we ran into some performance problems.) We’re still looking into the possibility of apps for both the iPhone and Android, but this theme will allow for easier reading and navigation for basically every mobile web browser.

Many of the same features on the desktop theme of ITH are available on the new mobile theme: Commenting via Disqus, most video is also available for viewing and you can browse recruit profiles and other pages by using the navigation menu in the top right corner of your screen.

We’ve received quite a bit of positive feedback via Facebook and Twitter thus far, but if you haven’t had the chance to check it out, let us know what you think in the comments.

Inside the Hall Reader Survey

by in Site News | May 2nd, 2011

Inside the Hall is rapidly approaching its four-year anniversary. We’d like to give you the opportunity to participate in our second reader survey.

It should take about five minutes to complete, and your participation will help us learn more about the collective you, which is important in determining what you like about the site.

This survey will help keep Inside the Hall free to read, since both current and prospective advertisers need to know their audience.

Please be assured that your responses will be anonymous and any personal information will be kept strictly confidential. No one will sell you anything.

You can access the survey by accessing the link below. We appreciate your help.

UPDATE: The survey is now closed. Thanks to all who participated.
