Easy guys.  Lets get it back on the game.  My day is equally as crappy as all of yours.  Please don't make it worse.  

This is the most alive this crowd has been.  

  Yeah.  Noah is our rebounding, blocks, interior presence at both ends, and a player who usually puts up close to a double double. Don't care what level you are at, you will miss that. 

Ha, I would take VJ and Pritch today.  

So, does anybody really want a rapid reaction today?  Lol, I am about ready to turn this off.  I am at my breaking point for the season.  

Brutal start for Tom Crean?  This is fairly normal.  

  Noah is not there.  We always feed the post when Noah is not in the game.  

Who else is happy this is the last time we see Aaron Craft?  

I sure as hell hope this isn't a sign of things to come next year.  This crowd is DEAD…  

  Dude needs to be the man getting the pass at the rim every time.  He just isn't good yet with the ball.  

He has been in a boot some time.  Crean can say its precautionary all he wants, but nobody is in a boot for 2 months for precautionary reasons.  We have had a busy schedule.  This doesn't surprise me.  

I know I sound like a broken record, but I am not a fan with Troy with the ball at the top of the key.  Very rarely does anything good happen this year.  That may change next year, but he is just not comfortable with the ball yet.  

Injured Charlie.  

Not feeling great about this, but we have beat better teams with less a few years ago.  Some kids have to step up.  I think we have to hit 8 out of 20 3s to win this one.  Won't be up and down.  We will see.  

73 - 59 OSU.  

  Meaningless bump of the meaningless bump.  

So what you are saying is we should post meaningless posts to bump our numbers?

  And a single tear comes to my eye…  Lol nope.  It is just the liquor talking.  I should say thanks to everyone though.  We appreciate it.  

  Yeah, I never had any issues with him on a personal level.  As a moderator, he is a nightmare.  It isn't because of his views either. I have a lot of similar views as him.  He is probably someone I would sit and have a beer with.  He is just someone that creates drama, then becomes a victim on a message board due to his tone towards others.  Rinse and repeat daily 365 days a year.  

I am really indifferent on Dakich when he is just calling the game.  When I take issue with him is when he becomes holier than thou.  When he talks about how dumb internet fans are, but then tries discussing the things they talk about to put his opinion out there against theirs.  In all honesty, dude reminds me of GoColts.  Polarizing figure.  Some love him, and a lot don't.  People got tired of debating with him, because there was never a debate.  It was always his way, or you were stupid.  If you had a way of doing things he wouldn't do, you were stupid.  I don't mind people who talk to me like that, because it makes them look like the bigger idiot.  I should know, I would get the PMs all of the time from people going off.  At some point, people get tired of that person outside of a select few.  Then, they quietly go away, because there aren't any more people who care to interact with that person.  I should add, I actually liked GC as the commenter when he wasn't playing up the victim role.  After all of these years, he might be the most victimized poster on the internet.  

I am going to keep this short and sweet, because I have to be to work in five hours.  Normally, it wouldn't bother me, but having 2 9pm games in the same week is killing me.  It sucks getting old.  That is of course you are the Indiana Hoosiers!!!  How about that game?  That was a beautiful display of just being aggressive.  We don't have the shooters.  We don't have the experience.  What we do have is a team full of athletes, that when they compete for 40 minutes are dangerous.  This is what I hoped and predicted we would be by February.  Unfortunately, I personally did not foresee losing to PSU and Northwestern at home in the same year we beat Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa.     I am going to combine the team and personal games for this one.  A couple of reasons.  I want to go to bed first and foremost.  I personally felt that as much of a complete team effort it was, it was equally impressive individually.  Never did I feel Will was out of control.  His shots came within the offense for the most part.  Even when he was forcing, it wasn't like they were terrible shots.  The kid came to play today and scored 30.  That was the best individual performance of the season for me.  He was downright dominant.  The other equally impressive thing I noticed was Yogi Ferrell's willingness to take the backseat on a night where his teammate was going off.  If tonight doesn't show how much Yogi Ferrell wants to win, I don't know what will.  Stanford Robinson was also very impressive with 17.  He can just get to the rim unlike any Freshman I have seen.  He can't hit a shot, but who needs to when nobody can stop you?  Evan Gordon also added 12 in this one.  What is funny about this game is we had 17 turnovers.  We got out rebounded.  Noah has 4 points and 5 boards.  Yogi has 8 points on 6 shots.  We win.  That was about as weird of a game as I can recall.     Well, we have some life in us.  This weekend will truly tell us how much.  This is the weirdest team in all major sports I have followed in my life.  I have never seen a team play up to its competition as much as this team.  That is about as true of a statement as anyone could say about us.  We get beat by 20+ at PU, and beat teams like Wisconsin, UM, and Iowa.  At this point, what the hell?  Bring on OSU!

Ah……..  

Stan was out of position on that drive.  Damn.  

They have been here from time to time, just not consistent.  

  Ha, Eron is pretty good though.
