Loaded Chicken Sandwich

I'm not even sure why conferences want to keep their games off national TV. But I guess there will be a lot more room on ESPN soon with the Big Ten leaving.

We are talking 20-30 year stretches of mediocrity. Not a season or two.

You said every program goes through... Yea the elite ones have not... But I guess we don't want to be in that company anymore.

Clemson locking up a road win at Pitt.

Yea sure... Try and go find the last 25 year spell of mediocrity from Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, Duke...

I turned on Pitt-Clemson... Pitt on my radar for the Top 25. Been playing better lately. Probably the best they've looked since like 2014.

If you want to just discuss bracketology then sure. But the Indiana fan base just does it in general. To justify our mediocrity.

This has been said multiple times. Believe it was a "rumor" before Beard was hired. It was before Shaka Smart was hired. Nick Saban is going to Texas too... Lol

Lol. We suck so much. Didn't we have a game with Notre Dame lined up at the end of the 2020s?

Losses aren't created equal. But the phrase "no bad losses" is what I don't like. "this loss isn't as bad as others" or "this loss won't hurt the resume too much." It's still a loss. It's still bad. And we lose a lot.

Correct. But not every fanbase justifies their losses into apathy and mediocrity.

From "we are gonna win the Big Ten" to "will we even make the tourney" in about a month.

Any chance we see Gunn or Banks? Probably not.. just keep doing what isn't working. It will eventually right?

Darn straight. Just the coddled world we live in. "It's okay to lose."

All losses are bad

Because the Big Ten wants Wisconsin basketball to be THE basketball. How good would Wisconsin be in the SEC this year?

Refs have screwed Boston College... No surprise as they are playing Duke. Refs in the UM-MSU game have been as trash as trash gets... Welcome to the Big Ten.

Yea... I'd take Calipari over Davis, Crean, Archie and Woody. 7 days a week.

I'd sure love to have their success over the last 20.

They literally have a thread on Rupp Rafters about "at least we aren't Indiana." Because they know, even with their last few years, they still aren't as bad as Indiana and things are looking way better for them than they do us.

Same for Kentucky. Kentucky got to an NIT and NCAAT birth. Indiana fans would be claiming to give him another 6 years after that. Kentucky told him to kick rocks, you suck and brought in Calipari. Now, the problem is there clearly isn't a Cal out there. And like UNC or Kansas did, there is a Bill Self or Roy Williams out there. There just aren't those kind of great college coaches anymore and the ones that are, are very very very old or have been at their school forever.

They know what they are walking into.

Don't feel good about it... Pretty much a guarantee some player of theirs will go off.

Indiana- 55 Northwestern- 62 Everyone watching- "hello darkness my old friend..."
