I had a similar net as a kid (smaller though), and we used to play in the basement as well 

We had a half of a ping pong table nailed to our drywall and would shoot at that. The drywall all around it looked like buildings in war torn cities. It was such a hoosier solution to having no net to shoot at....but hey....we were playing.

It's pretty fun having the shooter tutor corner targets and goalie. It's hard...but fun.

Okay, so I'm an Indiana resident but not an Indiana native.  What does "a hoosier solution" mean?  I'm legitimately interested in this.

Urban Dictionary to the rescue.  I love the geographical notations for usage...it appears they have this one nailed, based on G's location.

Bought a blood pressure guage. Been thinking about it for a while but when my best friend got hospitalized with aortic aneurysm there was no thinking anymore...

Recommended to anyone at least from age 50 and above.

My friend is now after 2 months and 3 surgeries finally in rehab hoping to get back to normal again.

BTW. Also bought a cameo by Mike Portnoy for my friend.... awesome! It really made his day / week / month.
