Watch both season for Fargo (it was on FX) over the holidays...and I must say, it is a must watch.     The good thing about it is that you don't have to watch season one to be able to watch season two (we actually watched season two first).  The stories are independent of each other.  

The tall defense attorney has his undergrad from IU.

Finished it last weekend...compelling stuff, but like everything that we consider "truth", it is told from a certain point of view...keep that in mind. 

If I see Yogi standing flat footed on De one more time...I might injure myself...or the TV...MOVE THOSE FEET!

[quote name="Old Friend" post="227748" timestamp="1451546040"]Interesting, indeed.   The reality?  I have - and I'm sure I'm not alone - reached the point of absolute apathy.  I don't care if Indiana wins or loses because either is okay with me right now.   I watch this team play, and I don't enjoy it.  I don't enjoy zero strategy.  Zero game plan.  Zero "anything different than any other time Indiana plays."     Totally agree with this. At this point, I have the DVR set and will watch the games when i get to it. I am a diehard fan...born and raised a Hoosier in the Hoosier state...graduated from this fine institution in the mid-90s and love the univeristy like none other and typically could not wait until the next game day; however, as an example of my apathy, Liverpool FC was playing a match and on TV and instead of finishing watching the game vs. Rutgers, i switched to the futbol match and came back after it was over. Until something changes, i don't see this changing...and it is killing me. Trying to keep the faith, for the glory of ol‘ IU.

I'm in.

That is an awful win...23 TOs makes me sick...they will be lucky to win 1 of the next 6.  I am so disgusted.

The schedule is one reason why I have been more disinterested this season.  I don't understand why we can't get some decent games on the schedule.  Schedule a home and home with a team like Temple or some other top mid-major teams.  Or better yet, schedule some mid-table major conference teams...at least they have a shot at being a tourney team...in addition to some top tier teams like Kansas, UCLA, Villanova, Florida, etc.    This team needs to start with a W...especially a road W.  Let's go Hoosiers!

i cried a little...

  I have been banging that drum for 2 years now.  IMO he is our only hope.

Good win...the first 32 minutes were agonizing.  If they can play D like they did the last 8 they will win more games.   Hopefully it is the start of something. 

Great coach...a blow to the Big 10.   Loved his teams and the style of ball that they played.  Always played tough defense and great team offense. 

  Perhaps the reason that he sounded that way is because it is a team game and the team is under performing, even when beating down cupcakes, and if the team is under performing, then no one deserves individual accolades, even if those accolades are warranted.  

Just finished War of the Encyclopaedists.  Good read with some interesting themes, including varying perspectives on war, and the world of the millennial generation.   

I take no joy in that victory.

  Note to Self:  Do not take defense tips from Tommy.

If we have learned anything...it is that coaching matters (see Michigan football).

As expected.  This may be the longest of all of the Tom Crean coached seasons. 

I was so jacked up when I saw this game hit the schedule (even inquired of many people to try to get tickets), but after the Maui debacle, I honestly don't even care, which is very, very sad.     I haven't watched a game since Wake (and my subsquent ban) and am debating if I should watch/DVR the game.  I think that we are going to get absolutely smoked, as Duke will take advantage of all of the TOs and our (nonexistent) defense will let them get to the hoop. Coach K is a master at his craft and will take advantage of IU's weaknesses.   What a sad, sad day.

Only 5 points back and I missed the Ohio St game...I am coming for you.

Didn't get to see the game, but checked the box...those TOs are going to kills us against the Big 10 and tournament team.  Crean has got to get that fixed.   Also...anyone else concerned that Robert Johnson has not been playing that much?  Again, I haven't seen a game yet (I have the last two on my DVR and plan on watching those tonight when I get back from being on the road).  

a classic:  Tripel Karmeliet - Brouwerij Bosteels

I did not see the game, but looking at the Box Score, the most concerning stat is the 16 TOs.  Let's hope that it is an anomaly...otherwise, better teams are going take advantage. 

Finally...let the fun and misery begin.  

Watched all 120 minutes...can someone explain why the US dropped back so deep? You really only do it if you are a good counter attacking team, which the US has not been. It was a bad plan and it doomed the US.
