    Why leave Hibbert in there with four?   :angry:   Nice run in response to his 5th though.

    I like what Butler has been giving us off of the bench.

    Heat.  Pacers.  Round Two.  Now.

    Getting out hustled early.  Detroit is on the second night of a back-to-back.  The Pacers need to run them.

    Starting 5?

    Swap out Evan for Jeremy and go with that.  My only concern there is there really isn't any pop coming off of the bench.  I'd even be open to swapping Devin for Jeremy and allowing Evan to keep being the pop off of the bench.     Luke should be the first big off of the bench.     I think Stan's minutes will continue to grow as the season goes on.     I'd like to see what Colin has to offer in the next two games.    IMO there really isn't much point in seeing Austin anywhere than on the bench for the rest of the season.  If he can't be Matt Rothesque from 3 point range then he doesn't really bring anything to the table.

    Just checking in on the Pacers thread to cheer me up after the ND game.  Beat Detroit!   By the way, speaking of Detroit, anyone else think they have a chance to end up the 3 seed in the East?

    IU MVP vs Notre Dame

    Since everyone had their flaws tonight, I'll go with Will for getting it rolling on the offensive end again.     I'd also vote for me for not screaming so much that I scared my 9 month old son to tears.  Big ups to me for that.

    Indiana vs Notre Dame Post-Game Thread

    I hope to goodness you are right about him, Jaybob.  I have to be honest though, with every passing game I find myself more and more frustrated with JH and doubting the inevitability of that "clicking."  I would be glad to be wrong on that one.    Is there any way we can pin that final statement of yours somewhere for a constant reminder of what this year is going to be like?  That is a great summary of where we are and I believe where we are headed.  Everyone likes to say, "there will be ups and downs this season," but then some freak out with the downs.  We'll be fine, but like you said it's going to take time.

    IU vs Notre Dame Rapid Reaction

    When this team catches up mentally to where they are physically they will be a tough out.  Until then there will be games like today where mental errors cost us dearly.  I hope that catch up happens some time this year rather than next.

    Yogi Ferrell

    I think Yogi may be feeling a little pressure to be "the man" this year with so  many new guys on the team.  He took a couple of shots late that made me groan, but I didn't get a selfish vibe from them, I got a, "We've got to have a basket here and it's up to me to do it," vibe from him.     With the inconsistency of our offense this year, I can't say that I blame him.  Right now when we are in situations where we HAVE to have a basket, Yogi is the guy I feel most confident taking the shot.  Does he force things too much at times?  Yes.  Is he selfish?  No.
  11. My favorite holiday is Christmas.  My least favorite holiday is in February.  
  12. The thing I like about our chances is that they have Mike Brey on bench for them.  
  13. Just caught up on DVR.  Turnovers, ugh.

    The "If" Game For Notre Dame

    IU will win IF our guards outplay their guards.     IU will lose IF we have a terrible FG %.

    Around the Country (12/9/13)

    12/11/13   ND lost to ND St.  I hate playing teams coming off of a loss, especially to a mid major at home.

    The Official Indiana vs Oakland Game Thread

    Here is a stat to warm your hearts.  Oakland has the best 3 point shooter in the country.

    Indiana Pacers 2013-2014

    They look tired to me.  I know that the NBA style is more dependent on set rotations and all, but what would be the harm in giving Copeland and Sloan some more minutes tonight.  They don't play as much so they'd be fresher, it would rest some guys for Miami Tuesday, and at this point it wont' hurt anything.

    Indiana Pacers 2013-2014

    A day late on this, but that was a nice beat down on the Spurs last night.  Hopefully they'll finish off this road trip strong against the Thunder.  Whatever happens tonight it has been a good road trip.  Winning tonight would just be gravy....and I do like gravy.

    COLTS vs BENGALS

    We need to fire Mallory....wait  a minute wrong thread.   Seriously though, I never thought much of WR's being MVP candidates, but clearly Reggie Wayne was the MVP of this team because it's all gone down the toilet since his injury.

    AH Renovation coming very soon

    "remodeling all bathrooms"   If the men's rooms don't smell like 4 month old pee anymore, I'm done.
