The frustrating thing are the notification pop ups. Every time I visit a page, or refresh a page. I get a pop up that says btownbanners.com wants to: Show notifications and there is a box to block or allow. I admit I am a little anal about tracking cookies, etc.. and have my browsers set fairly strict in regards to remembering cookies, allowing cookies, etc.. but something has changed with 2.0 that has changed it. I used to simply get that pop up message the first time I would log into the site. But once I said bock, I would never see the pop up again until I logged back in. Now I get that pop up every single page, and I cannot do anything until I click pop-up. In my account I have Browser notifications NOT enabled, but the only way to make the pop up go away is to enable browser notifications.

Probably because you do not have any of the privacy settings turned on! The new site does not work well with any kinds of privacy settings. At least that is my take. Using Chrome, Firefox, or safari, quite frankly it is annoying to me. Not annoying yet, to stop using it, however. :)

It is the browser notification that is causing the problems. I don't want them, so since they are turned off, the web site wants to remind me to turn them on each and every page. Highly annoying. :)

I am using Firefox Version 45.0.1. The notification popups are to the point of extremely annoying. Everytime I refresh a page, or go to another page, I get a pop up asking if I want to recieve notifications from this page. I still get the phishing notifications, but I am assuming that will go away, once you clear yourself from the black lists.

I was always confident back then.  I always thought we had a chance in every game we played.  Now....  Not so much. 

Seeding the Sweet 16  LINK

Bryant did come up big, but the team was giving me a heart attack, when they kept getting the Ball into Bryant's hands and he missed the first of the free throws.   :)

The only thing that I was really questioning, was why they didn't try harder to get the ball in Yogi's hands instead of Bryants when Kentucky started fouling.  Bryant isn't a bad FT shooter, but you want your Senior taking those shots, not a Freshman.

Thanks for the laugh!!

The only bright spot I see is that we are playing pretty bad, and we are only down three.  If IU ever decides to start playing we will run them out of the gym.

The only player I want to see coming off the bench is Priller, because that means MOP UP TIME!!!!

Well that was the kiss of death!

Hey, I take offense at that!  :)

Isn't respectful disagreement one of the things that make these message boards fun?  :)  I always try and dismiss history from the current year.  A good example was when we got whalloped by Syracuse.  Crean's post season history was not significantly different that year, yet because of that specific team we had heightened expectations of how they would end the year.  That is why we were all up in arms when we looked so bad in that game.  After the third week of this season, did any of us expect to win the B1G, and even be playing in the NCAA tournament? The way I interpreted the post I responded to, was that it was more focused on Crean's past than the discussion point raised in the thread.  The past, to me, doesn't have any bearing on whether or not this season is successful.  I put in red the part we are in complete agreement.  If History were different I would expect beating Kentucky, and I would also expect beating North Carolina. Not so much any more. 

Please don't take this the wrong way, but we unfortunately hear the same thing every year.   :(   

I think you are mixing up THIS year's success or possibly  lack thereof, with keeping or firing Coach Crean.  I agree with you that any discussion of Crean's job has to look at the totality of his work.  However, that wasn't the discussion.  The last eight years have nothing to do with this team, or this season. 

Can I add it depends on how we play...  I expect us to win the 1st game.  Losing this game would mean a bad season to me. I think we can beat Kentucky, but losing does not automatically make it a bad season.  If we play well, and lose a close game, I will call it an OK season.  If we play badly,..... Assuming we make it past Kentucky, I wouldn't call it a bad season no matter the result, but again it depends on the way we would play in the Sweet 16.  If we play well and lose, then I can still call it a good season.  If we play badly, it would go down to a MEHH season.  Neither good nor bad.  The championship is great, winning the B1G by two games is a BIG deal.  However, tourney results also matter, and certainly the way we played in the BTT left a bad taste in my mouth.  The BTT tourney brought back all the doubts that were starting to wane.  A good regular season is to be expected, Now we just need to make a splash during the psot season.

What do you guys think about Collin's rant about Northwestern Michigan game?  

The uniforms of both teams are kind of hideous, but I find the squiggly lines on Nebraska's a little worse. 

I admit I am gobsmacked that Nebraska is going to take down Wisconsin. :(

The key word in your sentence is TWO...... :laugh:

i live near near Green Bay, Wisconsin.......  I hear it all the time, and it is even farther removed than 20 years!  :)

Of course he is claiming that.  It allows him to save a little face... 

When are these "kids" going to learn?  How hard is it to simply call a cab, or a sober friend.  :(
