I refuse to state an opinion that could be taken as sexist.

I don't.  Shocking, I'm sure.

The woman with him is Lisa Byington played basketball and soccer for Northwestern.

Somehow got the W we had to have. One step closer to the program goal of 6-6.

Then Lisa Byington would make a terrific women's basketball commentator for BTN.    Unless someone is as good as Bob Costas or Mike Tirico, I have very little interest in listening to play by play people calling sports they never played.   She sounds like she's reading from a teleprompter and does little more than state the facts of a game my eyes can already see.  To football, I think she adds next to nothing.  Same with Doris Burke.   In case that sounds sexist, I don't like Bill Walton either.  Or Billy Packer.  But at least they have some knowledge of the game beyond facts.   I don't dislike Joe Buck as much as some do, but he's another one.  (I also can't stand Pam Ward calling football.  Sorry)

Guess I must be confused. Where are all these play by play guys that played the sport they call?

Doesn't have to be at the professional or even college level to have a better understanding of the game.   Vin Scully played in the Police Athletic League..no higher, but the guy knows baseball.  Don Fischer played both basketball and football as a kid.   Hell, even Bob Lamey played football in his youth.   Lisa Byington calls the game like a fan.  Like she has no knowledge of the game itself, but simply an interest in it.

For the fifth time in the past six years - Bucket Game victory needed to get to six.  (no one is giving the Hoosiers a chance at winning at UM are they?)

yes i give them a chance...as much of a chance as a snowball in hell...wait....the snowball has a better chance !!

You never know which Purdue team you're going to get though...they looked awful against Minnesota.

We honestly didn't deserve to win yesterday. We may have won, but there continue to be more signs than not that Allen can't coach.

[cthomas 6,617]

Staring down the barrel of another 5 - 7 season. We are a perennial 3 - 6 win program and it appears that will never change.

Why shouldn't IU have won yesterday?

Sad, but truer words have never been spoken!  Maybe a bowl win too, or is that out of the realm of possibility?

I actually like Doris Burke. Now Beth Mowins calling a game isn't a bad thing she calls the college softball games for ESPN.

I didn't think we played well. We just made fewer mistakes than they did.

I don't think that means IU didn't deserve to win though.  IU didn't look good but they did have 4 takeaways.  At this point, a win is a win and one step closer to a bowl.  I hope we don't have so many disappointed fans if we make a bowl by beating pu.

I don't understand the negativity even after a win. Purdue is not unbeatable and we have a chance to make just the twelfth bowl in program history.  People need to get some perspective,  a bowl berth would be a step forward

It being a rivalry game and all I actually like our chances against Purdue. May be some distractions for Brohm with the UofL job opening as well.
