At this rate?  A character from MASH, I'm thinking Hawkeye since the character was supposed to be from Bloomington.

WRONG!  He was from Crab Apple Cove, Maine but here's a participation trophy for you anyway.

So good you had to say it twice :)

Lol. Phantom post. I don't know how that happened? I didn't type it again.

Oh well. It's worth seconds.

Crap, it was Blake and he's from Bloomington, IL.

All well, the MASH sign is still fitting.

Less than 24 hours until tip.

I'm getting excited to watch IU basketball again.

MEDIC! (Keeping up with the MASH thing I suppose)

Me too!  How many more years are we going to have to wait until we see it?

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,070]

Not much to look forward too, except the comedy of "Two Hand Rebounds" and "Shoot it through the hoop" signs.

Listing the not 100 is BS. Classic excuse making.

Another thing that bothers me along these lines is Crean still talking about the guys that were nursing injuries last summer. He still talks about that. I mean, if it's February and you've been a full, 100% practice and game participant since September, can we stop blaming poor play on nagging injuries from 8-9 months ago?

I really think he is just grasping for anything right now.  I think he knows he has officially worn out his welcome here.

Hmmm....considering the game is at 6:30 tomorrow and it's about 10:30 now that's about 4/5 of a day away so that leaves us with about....

0.002283105022831 years. Give or take a few decimal places.

I seriously bank on us losing.  This team has already shown Assembly Hall isn't even a safe place for them.  If Bryant and Rojo don't light it up, we lose by double digits.

Yeah I'm getting tired of the injury excuse. That excuse isn't ever really that valid to begin with if you ask me. You could lose your best player but still play with intensity, passion and dedication. And there's also that thing called fundamentals. If a team has no talent or less talent than the opposition, simple fundamentals will win basketball games. Crean's teams have never mastered simple fundamentals and couple that with the injury excuse, his teams just aren't good at all

I see what you did there!  

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,826]

Live from Bloomington.  It's Wednesday night (well, it will be)!  Does Dr. Jekyll or Mr Hyde dress tonight?  Whichever one it is let's hope they remember to have their jersey on under their warm-up.  

Indiana (14-8, 4-5 Big Ten) vs. Penn State (12-10, 4-5 Big Ten)

I kind of agree and disagree. While I think Hartman would have been a valuable piece to this team, that's an injury I don't want to hear about. We lost him early enough to adjust, and we have/had enough talent to overcome, and no reason that should be brought up in Jan/Feb. But, when you lose Hartman, OG and. JBJ that's significant and I wouldn't expect too many coaches to overcome that. That's three of your top 7, tough to overcome that. But Crean lost this team long before OG and JBJ were out. 

As mentioned, I also don't want to hear in January about some guy pulling a hammy last June, or a guy rolled an ankle in September. It's February, that's an excuse.

I'll probably DVR this one, and follow on the phone as I think we'll be at the Hulman Center tonight for the match up with the Purple Aces.

Hey, all you Crean haters have another thread for bashing ... over 400 pages of wasted time and energy!  Can we keep all that negativity over there?  

[IUHAHN81 3,303]

We MAY score 60 pts.   That's if Bryant hits at least 3 of his 8 three point attempts. Haha

Or at least wait until the game starts haha. There isn't much to be positive about with iubb these days though.

Yeah, at least.  :)  The positive I see is the chance to watch them bring it again tonight!  IT'S GAME DAY BOYZ!!
