"Strap, God wants you on the floor."

Three times viewed last night on two different channels? You're goddam right I've launched into Hoosiers hyper-drive. And now I see that the gym is perfectly preserved.
Everyone from Larry Bird to Greg Oden has shot baskets at Hoosier Gym, and it has been so carefully preserved since the flick was filmed a quarter-century ago that when you walk in, you can practically smell the alcohol on the breath of Dennis Hopper.
The beauty of Hoosier Gym is you not only picture Chitwood sinking shots in the gym, you still can see real-life Chitwoods shooting baskets.
