With Cal leaving, should we increase our dislike for Arkansas and slightly (just slightly) lower our hatred for Kentucky?

Nope

I like how it manages to be cool, hilarious and somewhat creepy all at once. 

 

Apparently they do it at football games, so you can imagine what an entire stadium of fans doing that sounds like.

Crazy stat. UConn’s men and women’s basketball teams are a combined 17-1 in National championship games.

Thought you all would like this!

How about this stat:  despite 50+ straight years of 'this is the year' at Purdue, they have zero championships.

Or this one:  if you laid Fletch Loyer and Brandon Smith end-to-end, they would still be two inches shorter than Zach Edey.  And the Loyer-Smith combo as well as Zach Edey will add up to zero championships.  

Or if you laid Isaac Haas, you would have one more STD than championships.

Or if you took Purdue's winniest coach in history and added together all the times he went to the championship game with a P painted on his head, you would have one more than they have championships.

Or if you laid Purdue's national titles end to end and viewed it from space, it would like smaller than an ant.  But if you stood directly over it, you would see that was because an ant is bigger than zero championships.

More like having the most home runs robbed.

I've got a problem of sorts. I like Dusty May and Mark Pope, coaches of two schools I hate with a passion.

If they destroy us you think dilemma will be resolved?

The Pope thing is a problem for me, too. I really like the guy and I'd like to see him do well to stick his finger in the collective eye of that entitled-a$$ fanbase. And yet, I don't want them happy in any way for any reason. Coining this the pUKe Paradox.

Good question. I can say that I will always hate Michigan and Kentucky but I cannot say I will ever dislike Dusty May or Mark Pope.

Don’t know if there is a thread for this kind of news or maybe one should be started…

Clingan from UCONN has entered the draft.

So the Matthew Graves family wakes up this morning in Terre Haute Indiana. They have a pay raise, a dream job, TWO players on the roster not counting the walk-on staying, a couple of student managers, ONE assistant coach on staff ....

You have to wonder what would be the response if IU was in this predicament?

He said he has been on the phone for months trying to get a high mid major or a P5 school to come to Hulman Center to play them ... crickets. Has he called IU ? Of course like all the other schools, it's a no win situation and I only have to remember the years IU was beat by ISU in AH with Davis or at IPFW with Archie.

He says he will keep the same offensive system, "layups or 3's" (not his words) and will recruit players to fit that system. 

Dream job or not Matthew Graves is in a rough situation.

He follows the best season ISU has had in 40 some years. A new President shows up July 1. A new AD is planned but has NOT been hired yet. Team is gone. Managers are gone, Staff are gone.

Looks like IU has a lot going for it this off-season. 

I don't want to hear ONE EXCUSE next year in any IU coach or IU players interviews. NONE !!!
