I had to spend 3 weeks there once for work training and it was when I was fresh out of Bloomington. It has a lake that is frozen half the year, outside of that...meh. Sorry, but taking off the crimson colored glasses…I lived in Madison for 7 years and @Madison22can attest as well that Madison is much more than “meh.” State Street is a 3/4 mile pedestrian only stretch of bars, restaurants and retail shops that makes having a great time both easy and safe. Madison actually has 2 lakes that are embraced year round by residents. Lots more to the city than just campus and downtown, and you really can’t get a good feel in 3 weeks. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Jones Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I’m not sure what to make of tomorrow night. I believe the Wisconsin performance is repeatable, but will they repeat it? After the hogs that were the NW and PSU games, I have to see it repeated before I let my hopes creep back up too high. A win tomorrow night though blasts them back into orbit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Bloomington but I’d never argue with someone putting Madison or Ann Arbor above it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I spent a week in State College. As much as PSU disgusts me it was a pretty awesome place and my favorite non IU campus. I almost liked it better than Bloomington. My wife is from 40 minutes east of Champaign. I've had to visit that dump heap more than I can count. I'd probably rather live on the downwind side of west lafayette. As far as that arseface calling it the fake assembly hall, well IUs first assembly hall dates back to the early 1900's. State Farm Center looks like it came off of a Jetsons storyboard.

Weather, and what that allows the girls to wear, gives Bloomington a huge advantage over Madison and Ann Arbor. Mid Jan and I saw many girls in shorts last weekend. I would rank Madison the next best town. Great April - Oct. Go Mallards! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I first moved to Georgia, I thought the same as you about the weather allowing girls to adjust their wardrobe! Unfortunately living in rural Georgia, I soon found myself wishing they would put more clothes on! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inequality Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Illinois has beaten #5 UCLA and #7 Texas on a neutral floor in November early December. Then they were smashed by Penn St. on their home floor. Now they are on a 4 game win streak with two of those being on the road at Nebraska (76-50) and at Minnesota (78-60). Not expecting a win but would be nice to see IU compete hard. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawatchHoosier Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Two things Indiana has suffered from in losses Illinois does not rank well at. Illinois is ranked #231 in 3-point percentage, #302 in free throw percentage. While they don't make a high percentage of 3s they attempt the 31st most per game. They also are limited in the paint as they are ranked #264 in 2 point field goals attempted.

02Hoosier Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Unfortunately won’t be able to watch the beginning of the game, so I’ll try to tune into Fisch until I get home. Looking forward to this game and a win would be huge here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
