February 23rd at BSU will been known as "Hoosieroons and Hoops Day". During the men's basketball game vs. CMU @ 2:00, and the women's 4:30 games vs. Toledo,
the teams will wear 1920's throwback uniforms to recognize our old moniker "Hoosieroons."
So, this indicates that the BSU Athletic Department's history of bungled decisions dates back almost 100 years. They named the sports teams the Hoosieroons! WTF?
Nothing says I'm the IU Hoosiers lil b!+@# more than naming yourself the Hoosieroons.

I continue to be impressed by the AD’s marketing and promotions people.
If they maintain a “C” average, they must receive credit for the course.

There’s a Hoosierroons football apparel store? I’m sure it’s legit....

Oh, my goodness. Surely they didn't actually burn screens and print any of those shirts? But the pictures look pretty realistic.
But anyway, with the advent of the BSU Hoosieroons gear, we can officially declare that the throwback fad is "over".
Any of these that have actually been produced can just be thrown in with the "Rams 2019 Super Bowl Champions" gear, and shipped off to the poor in some third world country.

I'm inclined to agree with the nicknaming, but I'm guessing the athletic budget for the Indiana St. Normal School in the 20's was not abundant... maybe we thought we'd get a deal on some hand-me-down uniforms and other gear.

Glad these guys were labeled normal...
Interesting that the 2001-2002 season was the catalyst to cause Dr. Vander Hill and Dr. Edmonds to author a book on the history of BSU basketball. Who's gonna step up and do the 2nd edition?

Vander Hill and Edmonds. Haven’t heard those two names in years!

Well, at least it wasn't the Hoosierettes.
On the other hand, I'm all in favor of scrapping all our current athletic teams and fielding just men's and women's hockey teams under the name Hoosier Goons.
Our big promotion on our teams' official debuts will feature the Hanson brothers.

The "NORMAL" throwback jersey would have been cool, and I would have even considered a purchase....cheap as I am. Of course, that's the sort of off-beat thing that marketing people just can't grasp.

Good promotion. Greatly increase student attendance. Boomer attendance, too. Who needs beer? Concession sales would explode. Fans guaranteed happy and mellow after every home game.
