Saw we just lost Henderson.  Oh well, we have gotten a lot people that originally committed to other teams.  I guess it is just how recruiting works now. 

I think one of the problems we all have is remembering that year to year teams are different.  However, a constant seems to be that IU plays worse in Feb and March than in December and January.   That is the cloud hanging over top.  We all are afraid of it happening.  Here is to this team bucking the trend! :)   If we keep winning a lot more than we lose, none of us will care if the wins are by one point or by 20.  

The most fun part of the ride, is going to be going to web sites after every game, and watching the swings in emotion.  Every win we are tops, every loss, we are the worst team to ever play college basketball.   :)

I nominate this for POST OF THE YEAR!

It was to me as well.  I haven't been able to see many games live, but he was working the officials harder last night, than I have ever seen before. 

I don't what they showed on TV, but I was sitting about 5 rows behind the bench.  He was in the ref's asses almost every time they were on our side of the court.  He was really trying to work the officials last night.  Unfortunately it didn't do any good.  :(

The Wisconsin fans were sure PO'd by his actions.  My wife, who really doesn't even watch BB, but came to the game so we could see our son, was constantly asking:  Who is that guy again?  and why does he act like that?  :)

Happ is a red-shirt freshman.  Plus remember he had to practice against Kaminsky and Dekker last year.  I think that made him grow up pretty fast. :) I think Crean's substitution patterns really hurt us this game, and I think the Bad Troy were the two main reasons we couldn't overcome the foul descrepency. I would also tell you guys, if you ever get the chance to come to a game at the Kohl center you should go.  The fans are great, and the atmosphere is not quite at AH levels, but it is pretty darn good.

The last three minutes remind me of last years game. :( Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

The fans were shouting tom Get off the floor. Along with a lot of swear words! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Wow they really don't like Indiana here in Wisconsin. I've got great seats! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Leaving in 5 minutes for the drive down to Madison. I sure hope we have a better game than last year! 

You probably are not that far off.  The good thing is that most people are really coming down hard on the WIAA  for being silly. 

In Wisconsin it is wrong.  The state athletic association, has sent out lists of banned cheers that may "hurt" the opposing team's feelings.  :)

That makes at least two of us.  I've got my tickets row 5 behind the IU bench!  After the beat down we got last year, I really want to turn it around and give them a can of Whooop A$$.

Yours was much better than mine.  :)  I like your comparison to the oil worker.  I am glad to see the concussion testing and all that stuff at the MS and HS levels in regrads to athletics,  The problem, as I see it, is that no one really knows how many concussions are to many.  A few years ago I had a niece that played HS soccer.  Sh had to give it up her Senior Year.  After 5 concussions in 4 years, she and her family just decided enough was enough.   

+Martin:  I said the same thing.  :)  Maybe not as eloquently....

I don't feel to sorry for the aches and pains a retired athlete has.  They knew all about these going into it, and made the decision that the benefits outweigh the costs.  I do think they have a point in regards to the mental aspects of their retirement.  It has only been in the last couple of years that this issue has come to light.  For anyone entering a sport the last couple of years, though, I equate their issues to smoking.  They know what the risks are, and choose to take that risk.

We didn't even think about a picture.  We caught the one laker after being on the lake for 10 minutes.  7 hours later we had caught nothing else, and were to depressed to think about a picture.   :(

Well the fishing in the boundary waters was pretty slow.  Day one we used snow shoes and walked back about three miles to a lake we knew was safe.  Unfortunately we only caught one little lake trout.  We were going to camp back there for the night, but two of the guys didn't bring the gear to handle teens below zero.  :( Day 2:  We hit a little lake that had been stocked with Rainbows, but we couldn't get any bites though I saw a few on the flasher.   Day 3:  After 3 days where the temperature never got above -10  we did some testing and found the ice was 8 inches thick, so we headed out to one of our normal haunts on Gunflint Lake.  However, there was no action at all.  Didn't even see any on the flasher.  

I get back to civilization for the first time in 5 days and this was the first update my phone got. I admit I am surprised. But I also think this shows how Wilson has grown. He stayed with Mallory for a long time and there really wasn't enough improvement for Knorr's second season. I like the move. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
