  1. I know others may disagree, but a lot of this is on coach (just my opinion). The zone offense is AWFUL, but nothing is changing. We played against a zone before, and attacked the middle that worked. There is no one in the middle to collapse the defense. We were up ten and we call our first timeout this half after we are down two?

    Sorry, very frustrated right now. Coach is doing nothing!

    Yogi being in the middle of the zone, was one of the silliest things I've seen in a while.  Almost as silly as waiting until your lead is erased before calling a time out.


  2.  Duke:

    2000, 0 - 11

    2001, 0 - 11

    2002, 2 - 10

    2003, 4 - 8

    2004, 2 - 9

    2005, 1 - 10

    2006, 0 - 12

    Cutliff took over a Duke football program which was in a much more terrible condition than the IU program Wilson inherited. 

    That is highly debatable.  Considering Indiana has the record with the most losses in college football.  It is really hard to claim that any program is worse than Indiana.  Cutliff is probably a better coach, but we don't have him.  WIlson gets next year, and it will either be a bowl game or the unemployment line.


  3. I have this gut feeling that UK's revolving One and Done mentality is going to come back to bite them in the A$$!

    I just wish the NCAA would do something for once.....and put a stop to this mess. I don't like how it is affecting CBB

    That could be, but I don't think it is going to be this year. :(


  4. Doesn't anyone else agree that this endless carping about Crean and speculation about who will be the coach next year can have a negative effect on this year's team? We aren't even into the conference season yet; we have some good wins; the team is showing signs of serious improvement. Sounds like time for some support instead of damnation to me.


    Can it have a negative impact on this year's team? Probably. Though it is just as likely to have a positive impact. There is no way to stop the complaining. It is par for the course now days.

    I also think that anyone who does complain would argue that they support IU 110% that is why they are complaining.

    Me personally, I am not happy with the results Crean has had the last two years, nor am I happy with his lack of discipline last year and this year, but I know that any decisions are out of my control; so I try not to worry about it, and just hope this team does better than I think they will.

  5. Then I'm mostly disappointed you admitted to ever using IE at all.

    I only used it to see if it was happening in another browser.  :)  The only time I use IE is when I am working on our phone system.  The web site it uses will only work on ie.


  6. Thanks Martin:  I wonder if my chrome settings changed from something.  I know I had it set to not play anything automatically.  I never thought about going back in and checking those!  Even we computer geeks learn something all the time.

    Believe it or not in my real job I am a Google Certified Trainer!  I am supposed to know all about that crap.  :)


  7. What browser do you use?

    Chrome primarily, but the same thing happens in IE.  It is only when particular ads with video are rotated to run.  Doesn't happen all the time, but then all of a sudden all hear stuff coming out of my speaker, and it is an ad on this site.  


  8. Why did you guys just start the video ads auto playing?  I used to be able to leave this up on my desktop at work all the time, but now will have to cut back on my visits, because I can't stand the ads automatically starting.  :(


  9. The only thing I would disagree with the original post is about Calipari.  This years team is playing together, but only about one out of three do so.  Remember how a couple of years ago UK fans were screaming for his head, when they didn't make the tournament?  And every year they have been predicted to win the whole thing, and when they have lost (at least the games I have seen) it has been because the superstars got selfish.


  10. Well the WI gun season was not treating me very well.  Sitting all day, Saturday I didn't see a deer.  Sat all day Sunday, and finally about 45 minutes before dark, a really nice doe decided to walk in range.  Got more venison in the freezer, now.  Get three more days hunting in Lawrence County, Indiana over Thanksgiving, and then back to bow hunting until the new year!


  11. Just got back from 5 days in Missouri.  I didn't have any luck, but still a fun time.  WI gun season starts this weekend.  Get another 3 days hunting up here, then back home to Indiana for my annual Thanksgiving Weekend hunt.  Hopefully the Indiana Hunt will also be capped with another bucket victory.  Got my tickets today!


  12. I think many of those that can't believe the guys were out at midnight the night before a scrimmage have forgotten what being an 18 - 20 year old was like.  Not excusing the accident, but that is a normal night for a college kid.  

    Also for those saying Crean has lost control of the team.  that is possible, but college athletes drinking has been going on for a whole lot longer than Crean has been coach at IU.  Not to mention it is a scrimmage for goodness sakes.  If they were out the night before a game.  I might feel differently, but it is a glorified practice.
