Academic Fraud Investigation Underway At Notre Dame?
ElectricBoogaloo replied to Diadem's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
They are a lot better at investigating academic misconduct than they are sexual assault. -

I don't know about hardest, but if Pitino is involved it definitely won't be the longest... -
Purdue doing great work
ElectricBoogaloo replied to ElectricBoogaloo's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
The helmet point is the focus of at least a couple of these studies. Football helmet manufacturers like to claim that their helmet reduces the risk of concussion. In reality, no helmet can prevent the brain from jostling around inside your cranium. Many people in football will try to lie to you about the risk to your kid. Helmet manufacturers will tell you their equipment prevents brain injury. Coaches will tell you they have "the best equipment", knowingly or unknowingly repeating the false advertising of equipment makers. Coaches will also tell you that they teach "safe" tackling technique, which may be safer in regards to catastrophic injury but definitely not safer for repetitive brain injury. It's a violent game and we all love it. That being said, if I ever have a son he won't be playing it. -
We take a lot of shots at Purdue (mostly good natured sports talk) but I think it's important to acknowledge some of the work they're doing regarding brain trauma, sub-concussive hits, etc. as it relates to football. If you guys have any kids playing football at any level, the studies in the link below are great reads. Although they focus almost exclusively on high school athletes, I think its good to know for any level. http://www.purdue.edu/research/png/research.php

IU vs. U Quebec Game Thread
ElectricBoogaloo replied to hothoosiersmom5's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Yeahhhh... I saw him knocking down a couple shots in one of the highlight vids but the elevation on his jump shot is horrible too. Looked like Grandpa Priller reliving the glory days out there. -

I'm also pleased they went 4-1 on the trip. Lots of great play by JBJ - he is the real deal. Zeisloft has been a very pleasant surprise as well. -

Maybe his "mentor" will accompany him. This whole thing smells bad. -
Era of Impatience: The Firing of Head Basketball Coaches
ElectricBoogaloo replied to Walking Boot of Doom's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
People have a right to be impatient when a coach making $3m misses the tournament. -

I agree, it seems silly to take another project guy. We have 12 men on scholarship this year with nobody graduating. Barring an NBA entry (can't see any of Yogi, JBJ or Troy going yet) this will make 2015 recruiting even tougher. Yes, there will most likely be transfers but recruits will just see zero spots open. http://www.insidethehall.com/indiana-scholarship-numbers -

This feels like one of those times where desperation breeds poor decision making. Kind of like Sports at 3 AM. -
(2015) PG Bryant Crawford to Wake Forest
ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
That makes sense. Who do people like better, Bryant or Shake? I know CCG is big on BC as a pure point guard (Yogi successor). -
(2015) PG Bryant Crawford to Wake Forest
ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
Wow. Has to be good news that Louisville isn't on the list, right? He is one of Crean's guys and I guess KJ won't have a chance to take this one. -

ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
Those are some really pathetic looking push ups, even with what appears to be a weight vest. He looks like he needs a full offseason of strength training. Not sure how much a guy like this would help in 2014. Would rather see the spot open for some of the 2015 guys we're high on. -
Perea not with Team due to VISA issues
ElectricBoogaloo replied to djsalway's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
It's laughable that the Athletic Dept didn't have this resolved before the trip. -
(2015) SG Donovan Mitchell to Louisville
ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
Should have paid KJ... It's not like the bball program doesn't have the money. -
(2015) SG Kenny Williams to UNC
ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
They are probably wrapped up in 2015 with four top 100 guys. I don't think anyone in the conference will beat that. -

ElectricBoogaloo replied to ccgeneral's topic in Indiana Basketball Recruiting Forum
OSU is wearing that crown for 2014 and 2015. -
That explains why a common, simple word is misspelled.

UK could save money by using the autopilot. But that might result in a quick trip to the hospital.

I would guess that prep school is always an option. -

Off Season Progress/Notes

He can't run or move... Must be mental gymnastics. -
Knowing the NCAA, he probably won a stuffed bear at the carnival's basketball game and they consider that illegal compensation.

Maybe he's just tired of fielding basketball questions.
