Every so often, I'll look back on my younger days and think "I wish I'd have asked this girl out." or "I wish I had asked that girl out." I really wished we had dumped Woody two years ago and asked Dusty May out.

Can you imagine Cronin at IU? That would’ve lasted all of about 15 minutes. And some of the dorks on our beat would’ve been eaten alive in that short period time.

This was Hermey last night -- thinking he's Caitlin Clark.

I always knew Archie was the guy.

You can tell CTC misses his Bloomington days ...

ANNND? So much for the Puredoo ‘run’. 42-22 Michigan over Purdoo in the first half. At Mackey. Delicious.

JHS' epic performance from three years ago. Maybe Wilkerson can have a similar night and help get us that sweep!

Field of 68 polled coaches on the best job in the B1G and Michigan was first and one of the reasons was their massive NIL budget https://www.on3.com/sites/field-of-68/news/big-ten-basketball-job-rankings/

I'm so glad we didn't hire this jackass. The jury is still out on CDD, but Cronin would've been a terrible hire.

I agree with that but the issue is look at how well Dusty did at FAU.

I can't stand Doyel, but him vs. Cronin would be as entertaining as it gets.

Amazing that Cronin is such a basket case. I don't really care how he treats the media, but how he treated his own player at Michigan State is nuts. That guy sucks out loud.

Something absolutely insane about this graphic is that of the top 3 teams. 6 of their 9 total losses are to each other.

I'll take Purdont's parody of 'The Three Stooges'

HUGHES!!! Bench tries to get him off the ice. He says "Nah, I'm good," then scores the winner. USA moves on -- 2-1 in OT. Another great game!

Anyone know when Purdue decided to hang this banner? I did my research; it's real.

Michigan had enough money to get a projected first rounder to come back to school for another year and enough money to steal a kid from a rival school where he would of been a starter and Underwood was mad as hell he lost. They are loaded. My guess is when they saw what they had in Dusty when they gave him a contract extension after 1 year he had assurances that they would be top a top spender and so far that’s exactly what they have done

Think about that; Amish Boy, The Flopper, and TKR will finish their Purdue careers with a 4-4 record against one of the worst eras of IU hoops, but only if they win the upcoming home game. If Wilkerson and Dorn go on a heater or TKR gets in foul trouble, they will finish their Purdump careers with a 3-5 record against IU.

Cadeau started almost every game at UNC, including on a NCAA 1 seed as a true freshman. Former 5 star recruit. I guarantee his NIL is significantly higher than guys like Enright and Conerway

l'm also counting this: https://www.wilx.com/2026/02/18/ucla-coach-mick-cronin-sounds-off-reporter-after-loss-michigan-state/ The crazy things to me about Cronin ejecting his own player are that: 1. The 'flagrant foul' wasn't really flagrant at at all; it was a backup big chasing down a play and getting mostly ball from behind. 2. Cronin's primary postgame gripe (besides his "Are you talkin' to me?!?" silliness to a reporter) is that his team isn't nearly physical enough. So he puts in a backup in a blowout, the kid chases a turnover really hard and gets to the run out, and Cronin humiliates the kid in front of 15,000 people. 3. The kid he 'ejected' is a former MSU student ... not basketball player; a student. He tried to be an MSU student manager or walk-on before transferring out of state. So he probably had many friends at the game. Unless that Jamerson kid is already a pariah, that move by Cronin will completely lose that locker room. UCLA now falling towards the bubble and Cronin should be ashamed of himself.

They are also 1 or 2 games away from wearing white in their tourney game

UCLA down 20 at half at Michigan St. Cronin is gonna make Tang's tirade last week look like child's play.

So if things go badly on Friday we will go 1-1 this year against them? Sure, why not. I mean, hell, if the best we can do against them is split, I hope at least football goes well. HAHAHAAHHAAAAA

Good grief -- Hermey just launched about a 35-footer on a fast break. Nothing but ... air.

You can continue to follow the careers of TKR, Amish Boy, and The Flopper in your local G League arena.

They don't make them a whole lot better than this. I may live under a rock, but it's criminally underrated from my perspective.

At the beginning of next season, Nick Marsh will still be only 19 years old. He's is already very, very good, but he also has real potential to improve dramatically. Marsh and Becker at WR? Hoooooo boy.

Also worth noting upon a little more research; the Tindley team he lit up is terrible.

I think this week has been a good indication of what a roster needs to look like to be a final four contender. We got to see Illinois up close and then Michigan is just a class above everyone else in the conference. I think both are threats to win it all. Michigan vs Duke is going to be must watch tv. Both Michigan and Illinois have size, skill, and don’t lack athleticism. And it’s across the board in their starting lineup. You can have a skilled roster with size, like Purdue, and be a second weekend caliber team but have a ceiling.

even better is Cronins post game presser.....you gotta watch this "are you raising your voice at me" around the 3:30 mark. Dude is an absolute loser in every way possible.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7gitkBrr14

Moody named to Washington Catholic Athletic Conference first team.

He had a lot of great roles and elevated a lot of characters but if ever there was an actor and a character made for each other, Robert Duval as Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove was it.

Nothing like a little AI fun ...

UK just lost at home to Georgia for the first time since 2009. Georgia improves to 5-66 all time on the road against UK.

We’ve got plenty of money. The big question is if CDD can shake it loose.

I’d guess it’s a fair bit more than us. Landenburg, Mara, McKenney, Morez, and Cadeau couldn’t have come all that cheap.

I bet it's significantly more than us. Yaxel was a projected first round pick and they paid him enough to skip that. Other transfers who were contributors last season at North Carolina, Illinois, and UCLA. But to your point, Dusty has built himself a reputation where he is likely to win out on guys if the money is close.

Purdue is going to have to generate some real success in the portal or their window to win may have closed

Nobody is better at dragging out an inevitable loss than Matt Painter and Purdue.

Purdump fans start all student body chant of “fukching a$$hole.” For the UM player who got head-butted by Benter. Classy

Refs foul out Mara on a phantom call.

One might say he shot it from the North Pole. (Insert Hermey pic I'm too lazy to find)

Michigan/Duke on Saturday let’s go

Got to confess, despite him being in 2 of probably my 5 favorite movies ever, To Kill a Mockingbird and The Godfather, and knowing that he was objectively great, never felt like I was really a fan of Duvall specifically. But then you look at the filmography in print and it’s just nuts and you realize that he wasn’t just great, he was GREAT.

He's 100% a tight end if he stays on that side of the ball.

Our point guard for next year is not currently associated with IU and is at least 21 years old.
