Last post I said that the Michigan game was the best experience of college thus far. Well hold the presses, it has been outdone, and only 4 short days later to my enjoyment. It is now official, Hoosier basketball is my greatest love at this time of my life. It doesn't get any better that that right now.
The student body organized a white-out for the game on Wednesday night, but they brought tons more than just a sea of white shirts. They brought the noise, while the team delivered a victory, with a little funk I may add. The noise level in Assembly Hall was perhabs the loudest game atmosphere I have ever heard, and definently been a part of. The "IU"'s at the end of the fight sound echoed for what seemed like minutes, and each time Wisconsin had the ball, some form of noise whether a chant or som other form kept the Badgers from getting anything going. I knew we were loud, the whole place knew we were loud, and Kelvin Sampson knew we were loud. In the IDS this morning he credited the crowd with half the credit from the win. I don't know if we deserve that, but then again, we were loud.
The excitement that everyone in that arena experience peaked with a frenzy of students storming the court in a victory mosh pit. I'll admit, I joined in. Honestly, who woudln't? It was loud there, too. I can't wait to see what comes next for this Hoosier squad but I am sure it will be awesome. Here's to March coming quickly and without any hiccups.
Go Hoosiers!

I think your closing says it all. Go Hoosiers! It is nice to have a winning team to watch and cheer for.
I saw the end of that game and was going to give you a call but I figured you were down somewhere in that mess of people. Glad you enjoyed it. Seems like it's been a good week.
I'm sure I would have stormed the court too. However it broke one of my rules of "Storming the Court". Rule 1.1 reads: No ranked team should storm the court after defeating another team, unless the defeated team is ranked #1.
