  1. Really getting one sided with the foul calls the last 4 mins.
  2. The Tennessee game is still on!
  3. I think the smoothness could be mitigated by the slow return of X. It has sounded like the staff has been very cautious with this injury and I don't think he will be just thrown in, more than likely a quick minute or so stretch early to see how his foot responds and go from there. I wouldn't be surprised, if he does play, that he wouldn't total more than 5 mins, probably less.

    After reading the text summaries and a few other posts, 1. I think it was Miles gun, 2. Miller responds with the gun in the car, 3. Millers responds again that the gun is loaded, 4. it sounds like Miller's car was blocking the victims car from leaving.

    Wow, I don't see how the SEC or NCAA could ignore something like this!
  6. Now to the real question, how many people really listen to those two nutjobs on a regular basis? I think it was cool for them to create the NIL fan experience and such, but I cannot stand listening to them and became very nauseous when they started tweeting at recruits. Haven't seen all that much of that lately, maybe some one told them to knock it off?
  7. Lets win this one tonight for the man that I was named after, he was an avid Hoosier fan and a long time season ticket holder for basketball and football. He lost his long battle with Type 1 diabetes this weekend. I don't completely understand how he managed to live to 68 with only one functioning kidney (his sister donated that one 30 years ago), no feeling in his feet for the last 20 years, and was still able to farm 3,000 acres. He was absolutely one of the nicest people you would meet and he would drop everything to help someone else, if they were in need. The world is a lesser place without him here. Lets go Hoosiers!

    Wow, now I hope we do get SC and beat them! Their fan base is nuts and most have no clue what they are even talking about.

    IUBB vs Illinois - Saturday, 2/18/23 @ Noon on ESPN

    Another game in which certain players are standing around clogging the post during plays! Why are 4 players on TJDs side of the floor? Why? Run the damn plays and stay out of his way. TJDs turnovers have mainly been from those extra defensive players on his side. I just don’t understand how we going through that 8 of 9 stretch with this rarely occurring and now it’s damn near every play again.

    It’s just a theory, not a statement of fact, apologies for ruffling your feathers, and the theory is not for bad officiating, it’s more along the lines of the B1G using officiating to control games to influence records to put as many teams in the tourney as possible to earn that $.

    IUBB @ Northwestern - Wednesday, 2/15/23 @ 9:00 ET on BTN

    IMO this article explains much of the horrible officiating. Last year the ACC brought in over $36 mil from the tourney for 5 of their teams playing 18 games in the tourney (UNC and pUKE to the Final Four) On the other hand the B1G also pulls $36 mil due to 9 teams in the tourney with no teams advancing past the Sweet Sixteen. So lets let B1G teams beat the crap out of each other and stuff the tourney with more teams (since the conference is SOOO deep) rather than fair officiating and the best teams make it deep into the tourney. Bold strategy, but will never result in a championship for a B1G school and the drought will continue. https://sports.yahoo.com/march-madness-daily-acc-big-143111267.html

    These are just the 3 that I distinctly remember cursing at the games or at the TV recently, lol.

    Wow just realized on top of the Scirroto crap, Dorsey reffed both NW games for us this year. So far this year we have had Scirroto for the @ Iowa, @NW, PU, MSU, UNC, and Xavier games. Dorsey: @Rutgers, NW, @MD, @NW, MSU. Courtney Green: @Iowa, Elon, UNC I would consider those 3 as some of the worst officials in our league.

    Well the bench is "tech"nically responsible for 4, if not 6, of those 14 freethrows?

    IUBB @ Northwestern - Wednesday, 2/15/23 @ 9:00 ET on BTN

    True but ultimately the B1G made the decision to not hire him back after that. If they can make that decision for an out of conference game, they can make decisions based on the body of work for B1G officials.

    I mean we got rid of TV Teddy, why can't we get rid of some more?

    Coffee is having no effect this morning, even my UK fan former boss agrees that game was horribly officiated. Hell even the PUke fans are agreeing on Twitter! Come on B1G, you have long time hated rivals agreeing with each other, what's next? Is hell going to freeze over?

    So Wait, ... Larry Scirotto is a graduate from Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command? Seriously? How is this even allowed? I know that this is only a 10 week course for law enforcement, but how is this not bias or show the potential for bias? https://www.flpd.org/home/showpublisheddocument/6317

    Hummel specifically said it was a class A on woody and a class b on the bench. That was literally seconds after the other ref explained it to him.
