Why not consider replacing it with a Midwest Classic? Kentucky, Cincinnati, Lousyville...there are a lot of possibilities. And rotate the teams so that each plays every two or three years.

Best part for me is the guy is a 90% free-throw shooter. Not sure we had two guys last year whose percentages added up to 90.

Running an offense that the other team doesn't know better than our guys do might be one big positive regardless of the personnel on the floor.

I suspect Matta was offered the job but had reservations about his health so we made a place for him. I'm not excited in any way about Woodson getting the job...but I hope I am wrong. I wasn't excited about Archie (I wanted Chris Mack), but I became an Archie Miller fan because he coached my team. I will feel the same way about Woodson.

How far my expectations have fallen: I'm just hoping we don't have to watch any Medicare Advantage commercials during the game. Hoosiers 67 Red Chesspieces 66

Screw Purdue Hoosiers, 71-65

Indiana 68 Michigan Statue 62

I agree with the ugliness, but I at least don't think we're going to quit against Michigan like we did when adversity struck at Rutgers.

In overtime (reason for high scores): Wolverettes 86 Hoosiers 83

Hoosiers 71 Red Somethngorothers 64 Seems we can only win when our backs are against the wall.

Hoosiers 74 (It's My) (S)party (and I'll cry if I want to) 61

Hoosiers 70 Gilded Ratkin 56

I predicted the Iowa game would start us on a win streak. I don't think 2 is much of a streak. So: Hoosiers 66 Bucknoses 63

Hoosiers 69 North by Northwestern 62

Revising my prediction. I believe we're going to start a winning streak, and I don't think it's going to take OT. I also believe Iowa HAS started its late-season swoon. Hoosiers 79 Hawknoses 72

Hurryin' Hoosiers 70 Biting Illini 66

Hoosiers 75 Scarlett O'Haras 66

First time all year absolutely NOBODY had a throw-away game. Lander did nothing spectacular but had no turnovers and took no bad shots. Geronimo...lived up to his name. Down the line, though, nobody failed to hold up their ends when called upon. But, guys, we gotta start hitting those free throws.

How many overtimes will it take to score that many points? And can we really outscore them by 62 in that last OT? So that means we take the "over" at 151 o/u. Got it. Go Alaska!

I should probably have my head examined, but I think this one goes into overtime. It's almost time for Iowa to start its late-season swoon (unfortunately the operative word is "almost"). Race did a great job guarding Garza last year, and while Bohannon can erupt into 3balls at any time... I'm afraid we'll come up just short again, but we WILL play better than we did against the toiletmakers. Alas my call is: Hoosiers 81 Hawknoses 85

Revenge for IncrediBoy's defeating The Bern Burner, perhaps? Although if you haven't read the book IncrediBoy: Be Careful What You Wish you wouldn't know what that meant. (Available from Amazon or Barnes & Noble in both print and e-book editions for ages 10 and up).

Unfortunately, I've been getting this one every time I click to enter a topic on Btown Banners for a couple of weeks now. But I'm willing to accept "screw Purdue" as the translation. Kinda doubt it's porn since my (very) broken German thinks it's an ad for a driver of some sort. The English part that says "WinZipDriverUpdater" is a very subtle clue to that effect, although I guess Miss Daisy could have unzipped her driver or something.

Why do I get this pop-up (for which I have no comprehension) every time I log in to make a post?

Wish I'd come up with "Nebrasketball" (I'm always looking for another smarta*s way to ID our foe) Good one!
