I really agree; I feel we're going to surprise people. It's crazy to think that as an IU fan, but we really fell off the radar last year. I wish Smith would have came for at least a season, but I feel strong about the incoming freshman class. Hardy's from Elmhurst HS in-town, and he was just awesome. He set many city records, and that's pretty impressive in Indiana HS basketball land.
I think it's going to be an interesting season in the Big Ten; not everyone's great again. However, I see a great race between MSU, UM, UI, and IU going on this year.
I definitely can't wait for the games; I'm going to go to as many as possible. I understand you only get like 6 games w/ a season pass with the demand, but I'm going to try to make it to more than that. Heck, I'm even going to the football games.....
