  1. This site has the Department of Redundancy Department working overtime... This site has the Department of Redundancy Department working overtime...
  2. Galloway got knocked down by Purdoozie.
  3. 22 Putrid, Indiana 21 Timeout. Phin is a man!
  4. Think I will just stare at our 5 National Championship banners. And remember the days...
  5. That is not good sportsmanship. But necessary.
  6. 2nd shift at the Subaroo plant. Where Purdooplayers go to die.
  7. Indiana is winning 4 -0. Home court advantage. Tipoff in 7 minutes.
  8. Al Durham was on the winning side with Providence.
  9. Doubt it. Coach Woody brought his bag of silver to pay the refs. We have finally joined the rest of the world and face up to the fact that $$$ can in fact make things better for those that have it. It's a different world we live in. Welcome to Moneyball!
  10. You can have the one on the right...oh...it's Already Gone...Feelin' Strong! Beat Purdewe!
  11. While I yearn for Phin to play his best ever, I just do not see it. Hitting a bunch of 3's in one game and not turning over the ball is really good. Certainly if it is matched with moving the ball quickly and getting steps on his defender. But that only happened once recently. His two concussions and hurt ankle and maybe hurt leg are not minor injuries. They essentially ended his and IU's season a couple of years ago. He has never really recovered fully after them. Seems lots of posters blame Archie Miller. Well Archie did seem to encourage the taking the air out of the ball at the top of the key possession after possession. And the messed up lineup didn't help Phin progress either. No ball movement drove all of us crazy. I just hope that X stays in the game and plays within himself. And Phin is an asset. I will believe all that when I see it. But Phin seems the least negative in his position on this team than others that are on the bench. Hopefully that will change somehow before the season ends. I mean soon. Like today, perhaps.
  12. 5 Time National Champion Indiana University 71 lil brother 70 Routine win at home...yawn. Hoosiers looking forward to POTFb.
  13. On other site it was reported that TJD tweeted he will play against PU and that he is ok. And I'm starting a rumor that X will keep his cool, that Phin will hit 50% of his 3-pointer and not dribble the air out of the ball, that Galloway and the rest of the team won't turnover the ball ever again in the last 7 minutes of any game. Take it to the bank. Beat lil brother like a rug!
  14. My family and friends are fired up for this game. It isn't a trap game. Every game in the B1G is important. Go IU! Just stuffed the empty bottle of EJSM bourbon in the recycle. Yeeeehaaaaw! Put me in, coach. *For Nebr @$$ ka...
  15. I hope to heck that won't happen. He is recovering from a broken bone in his foot. Right? I'm guessing that he will be able to jump like me. Cut like me. Shoot and defend...ah...well, you get the idea.
  16. Here it is, the middle of the basketball season. We are all wondering what will be the legacy of this team this season. In the last 2 decades the wheels had come off of the IU basketball program. This season, with the coaching staff here today, we knew that it would be some time to rebuild. But we were hoping that lightening would strike and make IU in the top tier of the B1G. Right? Well, no. Without very good to excellent guards, IU cannot compete with the best of the B1G. Not today. Not ever. So there we have it folks. I hope that X and Phin and the other guards bring home the bacon tonight. I'm saying that seems likely. But, as far as the rest of the season goes. Our guards have to get better and execute well each and every play. Each and every game. Or IU is again going to take a bath come the NCAAT. Hoping that Tamar keeps getting better. Hoping that Lander figures it out. Hoping that X never gets 2 fouls in the first half. Hoping that PS makes most of his shots. Kopp needs to kick it up a gear. TFG and Race need to use The Force. And Woody needs to wear his suit and not substitute the whole 2nd string in for 5 minutes midway through the first half. The whole team needs to run plays early to stop the slow starts. Defense means stopping the other team and shutting them down...every play. And put 2 halves together like they mean it. And win, baby!
  17. If Coach Woody would wear a suit at Nebraska...would he look like Winston Churchill? (Answer: Close but no cigar.) Coach Woody casually walks into arenas for away games. (Because he isn't wearing a suit. Duh.) He really should wear a suit jacket and pants to match. The vest is yet to come. Thank you. Thank you. I will be here all week.
  18. IU just threw the Iowa game away. But, every day is a new day. And I'm a shot glass is half full kind of guy. IU 72 Corn***kers 65 Stay safe and healthy.
  19. The bench, the coaching, the defense, turnovers, freethrows, guards...what else?
