Welcome Indy Cornrows

I am very excited and very pleased to welcome Indy Cornrows to SB Nation. Indy Cornrows is our newest blog, and they will cover our beloved (and often beleagured) Indiana Pacers.

I love the name of the blog and its logo. The Pacers haven't exactly fallen on hard times recently. They've made the playoffs every year since 1996, I believe. However, because of the success of the Colts and the lingering after effects of Ron Artest and The Brawl, the Pacers are not as much a part of Hoosier sports as they once were. When I grew up, it was Reggie Miller and Pacers basketball 24/7. I lived for April and May, when the playoffs would come around and Reggie would assassinate the NY Knicks yet again.

Now, the Colts have caught Indy by storm, but after some recent trades, I think the Pacers are back on track. I'm very excited we have a fine blogger covering the Pacers now. Please stop over there and welcome Indy Cornrows to SB Nation.

What is with our Pacers...

getting into trouble at strip clubs? Really, I don't get it.

Go Colts!

Thanks BBS!

You have me off and running BBS. I made the transition late last night and you're helping to spread the word much quicker than I ever imagined. Traffic is already rolling.

Good luck

and best wishes to you Cornrows. Sometimes I really wish I could care about the Pacers again. Or the NBA for that matter. Everything seems so homogenized now, the game and the players. Players are either boring or pathological. Where's the character, and where's the characters?

I know I'm generalizing and that real hoops fans can probably give me a million reasons why the game is still great. I used to watch and even listen to the Pacers on the radio when the game wasn't televised. But now I couldn't care less. I honestly don't know exactly what happened. And it wasn't just The Brawl, it started before that. Maybe I should read your blog and get some education....
