Out for the holiday

11 comments by Dustin Dopirak | Saturday, December 22, 2012 - 2:30 pm UTC

As soon as I finish writing this I will begin my trek East on I-70 toward Pittsburgh, and will be out there until at least Wednesday, possibly Friday for the Christmas holiday. So first, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you and yours. I’ll be keeping tabs on any and all developments with Indiana and will be checking in with sources to find out what’s true and what isn’t in terms of the Jeremy Hollowell situation, but otherwise, I won’t be checking the blog much until I return. Jeremy Price will have some contact with it, but will assuredly be spending time with his family as well.

So point of it all is, if we’re not immediately responsive with any questions during this period, that’s why. So be good, enjoy the holiday, and we’ll be back rolling again at the end of the week. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody.

Indiana State wins in OT over Ole Miss. Good game.

Rational for choosing teams to participate in the “Diamond Head Classic”?

Got Ind State, Ole Miss, San Diego St, San Francisco(Any remember when they were Hot?), Arizona, East Tenn St, Miami and Hawaii.

Weird mix of teams..?

Fast and physical. That will be a tough game when we meet.

If IU had Stevens and Butler had Crean, IU would win by 30 points. Most of Butler’s roster could not even make IU’s team.

TsaoTsuG on "Theo Pinson takes North Carolina over Indiana"By the way the list of outstanding schools mentions a few great schools in this country; and, surely, missed some.
