This is what I posted:

Hello - I will refer you to this link - http://pollspeak.com/pollstalker/pollstalker.ph...

I wanted to see how the voters ranked my favorite team, the Indiana Hoosiers. Why do you not have them listed in the top 25? I think that is completely biased and insane. Our only loss is at Xavier, who is a legit top 20 team. We beat Kentucky (they are not good, but we had Gordon and Bassett out) and we won convincingly AT Southern Illinois, who is ranked in the top 25 and had won some insane number in a row at home, 35 games I think and were 80-3 in their last 83. Those are good quality wins. I would like some sort of explanation. You can explain why you have Vanderbilt ranked so high also. Wow, just wow.

Thank you for your consideration,

James from San Diego

Re: Is the non-conference schedule too soft? Yes, it is

I also think that our schedule was a tad weak, but we played our tougher games on the road, which will help our RPI. I like that the team will have a bunch of confidence going into big ten play with all of these victories. We will be healthy, well rested and ready to go just like Kelin said.

Dale Myers - Yahoo has live radio broadcasts that you can buy for 4.95/mo. That is what i do to listen to the games on the internet.

BigT - I believe Ratliff's ankle is still bothering him? Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

As for game predictions - Iowa always gives us a tough time on their home floor. However, given the talent we have compared with them I think we should win this one. It may not be comfortable like the last few games, but we get by them this time. Hoosiers start 2-0 in away games in the BT!!

I tried like heck to find the games for free but it really frustrated me a lot. I used to use SOPcast to watch NFL but they did away with the NFL streaming broadcasts.

BTW I JUST heard Coach Sampson on the pregame show that Ratliff IS in fact playing tonight. Woohoo!

Nice! Quick 4 pt lead to start the half. We needed that.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:23:04 -0000

Yep. What is going on with our defense and all of these dunks??

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:31:44 -0000

Ellis is keeping us in this game right now. Go big red!!!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:37:30 -0000

Well somebody has to do it, because DJ certainly isnt.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:42:17 -0000

Alright 5 point lead! Hopefully they will smell blood and put these guys AWAY.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:43:52 -0000

Good reason why TV beats the radio.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:46:00 -0000

Gordon and one!! WOOHOO!!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

Thats right get take that last timeout. DJ is starting to assert himself finally

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:56:12 -0000

bassett has a bum ankle.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:57:28 -0000

Yeah I love Ellis' game. Ive seen 3 or 4 games this year on TV and he looks like the real deal.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 23:06:42 -0000

Well now that I think about it, I can only think of Kentucky and the Georgia Tech games that I have seen on TV so its 2 games. Still I listen to all the games on the net and he seems like a really dynamic player. I wish I got the BTN, but I would need DISH for that.

Somebody needs to guard johnson!!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Iowa

James — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 23:18:24 -0000

Wow. Nice win on the road. Time to get the pepto bismol out! We should have put this game away earlier but any win on the road in conference is a good win.

hahaha....true that David. she is looking a little rough there.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:05:40 -0000

alright Big A that one is much better. she doesn't have that wicked witch thing going there.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:14:17 -0000

bc, I am guessing that Ratliff is still going to struggle a bit getting back into game shape. his minutes may be limited. We need Crawford to step his game up a little more than @ Iowa.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:15:34 -0000

OMG say it ain't so Timmy!! Hillary?!? I hope you are being sarcastic...lol

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:13:20 -0000

bc, I think I am liking Ron Paul at this point. He seems like the best candidate for reform to our butchered foreign policy...not to mention his beliefs that the IRS, lobbyists, etc. are unconsitiutional. He is imo by FAR the best candidate at this point...but i digress. Sorry to have hijacked the thread.

GO BIG RED!!

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:09:05 -0000

what is going on with the refs already....the travel and then the no call with gordon?

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:15:31 -0000

Maybe he did big A, but they aren't calling anything against UM. Refs hate us for some reason.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:19:18 -0000

Michigan can't shoot for crap, wow. How did these guys almost beat UCLA? That was the only thing that worried me about this game.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:29:10 -0000

too bad he is in foul trouble. stupid refs calling EJ when he was pushed off.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:33:02 -0000

Crawford is upsetting me with all his jump passes and carrying the ball and such. If he is going to run point he needs to be more controlled.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:39:41 -0000

yeah he was Matt...the way he was stroking those NBA threes....damn

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:44:33 -0000

Is it no blood no foul rules in effect? Mike White got MUGGED down there and no call, luckily DJ cleaned up.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:49:38 -0000

I really do not like Crawford at the point. If Bassett was playing tonight, we would be destroying them at this point. That was some 3/4 court heave at the end, unreal.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:59:01 -0000

I would not go so far as to say Crawford is terrible, but he is not suited for point guard that is for sure. That last shot before the half was horrible, I think he shot that opposite handed didnt he? Right now, he is at best a reserve 2.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:06:05 -0000

Thank you EJ!! bombs away

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:07:59 -0000

Yeah I like Steve Lavin, he is pretty funny. Nice 3 pt play DJ!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:08:45 -0000

Way to throw it straight to the defender Crawford...wow. Gotta lob that ball to DJ not bullet it.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:11:19 -0000

Stephen I stand corrected. He is terrible.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:19:05 -0000

You said it Hoosier Hound. If we play like this @ Michigan State it will not be pretty. I think it is good that we let Bassett sit for this game. We obviously need him healthy in the worst way.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:22:50 -0000

Man my heart skips when EJ flops like that.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:24:13 -0000

Ratliff!! That was nice to see him hit a trey.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:33:35 -0000

AJ is starting to reach...hopefully he can get into game shape soon.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:40:05 -0000

I am not finding anything on Bassett's middle name. Oh well the AJ tradition is done for now I guess.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:42:49 -0000

20 boards for DJ!!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 20:50:04 -0000

serioiusly. you love the aggresiveness but you have to understand the situation and not flop on the court like that in a blowout!

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:03:30 -0000

hahaha...you see sampson yelling at mcgee i think that was? dont ever do that again he said i think.

Re: Game Thread - Live Blog: Indiana @ Michigan

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:05:10 -0000

yep. that wont earn him any more playing time.

Re: D.J. White goes off; Hoosiers roll in Ann Arbor

James — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 21:50:49 -0000

Yeah I will admit that I was tough on him..but he is not a point guard right now. Maybe when he can corral his dribbling/ballhandling and look more to pass, then maybe. He does have some athletic ability I will say that, and turned his game around in the second half.

All in all a good performance tonight, DJ is the man!!!

Re: The Morning After: Michigan

James — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:38:56 -0000

Yeah that was a pleasant, low stress road BT game. Those are very few and far between.

B-Side, no love for Matt Nover? He averaged 11 PPG that yr. ;-)

Re: There will be blood

James — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 15:49:37 -0000

Well being a NY transplant in San Diego, I do not know much of the rivalry besides being a conference foe..but considering the line on the game is 47 points you can be sure that there is a good chance we will completely destroy them. It should be a fun game to watch for IU fans. Go big red!!!

Re: We all know who he is

James — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 14:11:52 -0000

I think Gordon scores 30 easily in this game, and we have a good chance to win by that margin as well.

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:09:40 -0000

Wow it looks like SD might pull this game out. At least the HOOSIERS will alleviate some of those playoff blues.

The NFL postgame is killing me, the game has started! I have to watch stupid Shannon Sharpe and not the game?

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:45:25 -0000

GRRRR...im on the west coast i got bumped for oregon state stanford. This sucks.

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:59:18 -0000

Yeah I am not happy I dont get to watch on TV. During the football game they were even saying UI IU next on CBS. BS!

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:14:17 -0000

I listen to it on yahoo, but I pay 5 bucks a month. I am not sure of a free broadcast.

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:25:40 -0000

Ratliff!!

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:31:01 -0000

I did not expect us to have this much trouble with them, especially with Pruitt and Alexander hardly playing. They shot waaayyyy better than they should have.

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:34:13 -0000

Yeah, I am not watching but it seems we are not using EJ as much as we should be. Is he being double teamed?

Re: Game Thread: Illinois @ Indiana

James — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:27:09 -0000

AJ again with a big 3! They just might cover.

Re: Help us improve Inside the Hall

James — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:50:31 -0000

I like the idea of having a universal message board myself. That way we can post about an IU hoop topic we want, not within the confines of the posted article. Maybe having a shoutbox for during the games for those of us unfortunate enough to not get to see them as much as we would like. That would be pretty cool.
