@RichardBurger14 Perfect for you

[chip orben @riisorben]

Amazing and downright wrong. Who has won the last three Natty’s. Ballard probably has Finebaum on speed dial! #iufb

[CrimsonCast @CrimsonCast]

This explains so much about what's happened to the Colts over the past 9 years

[chip orben @riisorben]

So you know the extent of the damage to the system? Perhaps leave it to the professionals. I can’t speak to wages but most are IBEW union members. Generally I agree with and enjoy your reporting.

@riisorben Come to the Westside. Trees have been cleaned up since yesterday.

[chip orben @riisorben]

He is a true gentleman and Hoosier!

[M Raider @Raiderswmarcos]

I have to give Fernando his flowers here. During yesterday’s event, amongst hundreds of people shouting off the top of their lungs to get his attention, an event usher informed him that this young fan wished to ask him a few questions before he addressed the crowd. With no hesitation, he makes a few moments for her, even with fans having waited hours to see him. Speaks to the person he is and I’m so thrilled to have a person of this character representing our team for the foreseeable future. Great job, Fernando!

Have you ever been part of restoration efforts after a storm? I have and not an easy task. Trees and debris have to be removed first before restoration can even begin. I did not work for AES but another IOU. Not as simple as turning simply turning a switch up and down.

[indy reporter @Indy_reporter_]

Almost 24 hours later and a lot of the West side is still without power.
@AESIndiana could fix this,but they hire incompetent workers because of cheap labor.

@IndyCouncil and @IndyMayorJoe could make sure this NEVER happens again but Joe, @MaggieALewis, and Leroy Robinson care more about DEI contracts than getting people's power turned back on.

@CrimsonCast Great day to represent Hoosier Nation in Columbus for opportunity to see 2025 National Championship trophy. Go Hoosiers. #iufb

[chip orben @riisorben]

We can always hope but hope to not be left at the alter once again #iubb

[Mike Schumann @ The Daily Hoosier @daily_hoosier]

Houston getting a PG would seem to bode well IU’s pursuit of Markus Burton.

[Duke Energy Indiana @DukeEnergyIN]

It’s storm season in #Indiana: Duke Energy’s investments in smart, self-healing technology are helping keep the lights on https://t.co/9C5FIWnx8b

[chip orben @riisorben]

Not sure this is really a neutral court……although we seem to shoot poorly at Gainbridge. #iubb

[CrimsonCast @CrimsonCast]

A neutral site game on a Monday night, interesting

[chip orben @riisorben]

Never played so we have no idea of his potential. Would think hard to make an impression on a new school without a body of work. #iubb

[CrimsonCast @CrimsonCast]

This was definitely an expected exit

[chip orben @riisorben]

@grok what is rsc

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

INSIDE THE ROOM w @bresreports -- BLOW UP IN RSC -- RSC is meeting today. Nebraska Rep. DON BACON brought a hemp lobbyist to the meeting and yielded time to him to speak.

ANDY HARRIS said he would resign from the RSC

RSC Chair AUGUST PFLUGER said it was inappropriate for Bacon to bring the lobbyist

BACON told us he apologized and should've spoken to Pfluger first. The lobbyist was a friend from Nebraska who wanted to talk to RSC about their issues.

Who you got winning Tyrese? lol

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Make one bracket and stand on it

[chip orben @riisorben]

So true, peel the onion back and understand the figures. Now let’s set a new stake in the ground and demand better investment and record. It can be done. Michigan and UVA figured it out to make but a few. #iubb

[Bob Moats @BobMoats]

Two things can be simultaneously true...
1) IU Men's Basketball expenditures were inflated by one time circumstantial spending which impacted ROI.

2) The program needs a much better ROI.

[chip orben @riisorben]

I do not dispute it can be done look at IU Football. I wonder if we have the staff to make it happen. I would love to wrong btw.
Appreciate your support of the Hoosiers. #iubb #iufb

[CrimsonCast @CrimsonCast]

Sorry to double-quote Chip, but it's important to remember that you can nail a roster reset and go really far really fast.

Here's what UVA has used to get to 29-4 and 15-3 in the ACC, with a coach that had zero prior Power Conference experience:

[chip orben @riisorben]

How were they the year prior? That might be a barometer to consider. Still a fantastic game to watch. #iubb

[CrimsonCast @CrimsonCast]

Virginia was 15-17 last year and has essentially a completely new roster! Things can change quickly, don’t be despondent

[chip orben @riisorben]

@CrimsonCast this Duke v UVA game is fun to watch but also depressing as the realization we have so far to go as #iubb fans.

[chip orben @riisorben]

Not the Coach Cig model at all. So sad, so much hype and a complete failure thus far. I do agree lost a year but perhaps we can hope for something better next year……#iubb

[Matt Glenesk @MattGlenesk]

Darian DeVries tried to build his Year 1 #iubb squad with quick fixes, old transfers. It didn't work.

Now he's left with nothing and has to start all over next year. Didn't set a culture. No player growth. Nothing. Just a completely wasted season.

[chip orben @riisorben]

He gone. #iubb

[IndianaHQ @IndianaHQ]

You're telling me, with a straight face, that Trent Sisley can't get minutes tonight? #iubb

[chip orben @riisorben]

Well, getting married in August this year!

[Bob Moats @BobMoats]

@riisorben @CrimsonCast @YouTube How's Double D doing these days?
