At approximately 8:30pm in a packed Conseco Fieldhouse full of Pacers fans, cheerleaders, and players, the Indiana Pacers began their 2010-2011 season with the 10th pick of the NBA Draft: Paul George (F), Fresno State. Who is Paul George, you may ask? By the reaction of the crowd, you wouldn't be the only one curious, so here are some fast facts to help you get to know the 2010 Number 10 Draft Pick of the Indiana Pacers.
He's 6'8", 215lbs and has a near 7 foot wingspan
He's a 90% free throw shooter and is 35% outside the arc
Playing for Fresno State, he averaged 17PPG and seven rebounds per game
He was very impressive in workouts with the Pacers and is widely considered to be one of the most athletic players in the 2010 draft class
So his stats aren't amazing and he's not the point guard that the Pacers so desperately needed, but let's face it: with what was ultimately a pretty underwhelming draft class, George is a high-risk and high-reward pick with tons of upside. George has tremendous potential once he gets his defensive game up to par and gets worked into the system. So while George does not represent a monumental leap forward for the Pacers, he's a definitely step in the right direction as the Pacers work themselves towards becoming a more athletic and overall competitive team around the budding superstar that is Danny Granger.
If nothing else, fans should be excited by the Pacers' willingness to break their habits over the last couple of years. Instead of looking for the safe, experienced college players, they're going after someone who's young and has plenty left to prove on the court. Maybe that motivation for George will provide the extra spark they need to get back on track this year.
And besides, many of you questioned who Granger was when he was drafted in 2005, too! So hold onto your hats, fans, it's going to be a fun season watching how George fits into the offense and gets the Pacers back into the playoffs!

My absolute favorite time of the year is Spring. Mostly because it officially symbolizes us getting away from stupid snow, but also because it signifies the beginning of softball, kickball, volleyball and flag football seasons!
This year we've been fortunate enough to form an exciting partnership with Midwest Sports and Social Complex, located on Indianapolis' west side. This massive outdoor sporting complex features nearly a dozen softball fields plus massive space for flag football and soccer, as well as a 9-hole golf course. They've shared with us some of our plans for future expansion, and let me tell you it's going to be poppin' there!
To kick off our spring, we're starting Sunday Fundays this week at Midwest! The idea is simple: lots of opportunity to play softball and kickball, casual players, tons of drink specials and food. It's a way to get outdoors and meet people while running around the bases and having some fun!
The way it works is we'll start getting together around 5pm to hang out and get the teams together. At 6:30, anyone who wants to play softball will head out for game 1. At 7:#0, we head immediately to the kickball fields to stretch our legs and kick some balls, then we have a final softball game at 8:30. Come out and play on one or play in them all, either way you'll be sure to have a good time.
Each week we'll meet on the IndyMojo Bullpen Deck (the deck closest the main entrance) so just come up and say hello!
It is with much excitement and a little bit of regret that we announce today that IndyMojo.com has officially been sold. It has been a great run for us and we thank all of you for your time, effort, and dedication that you've put into the site. Without you, we could not have possibly drawn interest from investors in Muncie, so we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Muncie, a vibrant community just north of Indianapolis, is looking to expand on it's social scene and night life, which is what brought them to Indianapolis. After much deliberation, they found the IndyMojo.com site and crowd to be the friendliest and most accepting of new ideas, so they saw it as a natural fit for the Muncie community. After months of negotiations, IndyMojo.com owners Smitty and JK agreed to sell the site for the sum of $39.99 and two hoagies.
MuncieMojo will operate in similar fashion to IndyMojo.com and the city of Muncie has asked us to cordially invite all members of IndyMojo.com to move to Muncie to continue enjoying the sites services.
So, I'm going to try and begin to do this whole blogging thing. We'll see how it works out. I'll update with stories as they come to me, I have plenty!
