An Open Letter to Santa

PrintDear Santa,
I hope that this letter finds you well as you prepare for your annual journey of joy dispensing. Some of my friends at Crimson Quarry have been discussing the current basketball season, and their expectations and wants. Given that you like to "rock the Crimson", I have always figured you for an IU fan, too.
I have been especially good this year. Well, actually, the last three years. We have put up with quite a lot since Denim Shirt left. We have done so patiently, and without a lot of griping. I even made it through Kentucky week without making an inbred joke (John M. did not, however, so if you want to give him a lump of coal, that's up to you). Anyway, here's my wish list:
- Twenty-three wins. Ken Pomeroy says that's likely. I'm not sure how you fit it in my stocking, but it's a winning conference record.
- An appearance of the candy-striped warm up pants on Sunday of the Big Ten tournament. You got me this once, what seems like an eternity ago. It was awesome. I'd really like another, please.
- An appearance in the NCAA tournament. I know, I know. You used to get me these all the time and I took them for granted. I promise you: NEVER AGAIN will I take it for granted.
- Magic dust for all of Cody Zeller's joints. If you want to fix his nose, that's up to you.
- For IU's defense to hold Illinois under 45 points. I fully understand that it would make Bruce Weber cry, and that it's not good to get a gift that will hurt someone else. But it would be so cool.
- A victory over Purdue. I'd love this. But I am really asking on behalf of Verdell, Matt, and Tom.
That's all I can think of. My friends at Crimson Quarry may have more things to ask for. And go ahead and get ready, because next year, I am definitely asking for a Sixth Banner.
With Sincere Belief,
Hoosierdaddynow

Bravo sir

Mr. T pities the fool who wonders "how much jib could a jibba jabber jabba if a jibba jabber could jibba jabbas."
Thankfully we are no longer celebrating Festivus
i.e., the airing of grievances. Although the feats of strength, featuring Victor Oladipo, would be fun.

Lol I almost threw in Festivus but didn't want to go "over the top" like Stallone.

True enough. Although I really was quoting a SNL skit.

If Cody Zeller can windmill dunk these gifts into my stocking, that would also be gravy.

I'll just be happy if he gets windmill dunks on Purdue and Illinois.
That would make my season.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because let's be real they always come for the Jews.
Then they came for me, and I did not speak out because they actually came for me back when they came for the nerds."

RealTimeRPI also has them with 23 wins.
But it includes a loss @ Nebraska which I just don’t see. It is countered with a win vs. MSU in Bloomington which could happen. I also don’t think they are done pulling a big upset. I just hope that they take care of business against the lower tier B1G teams.

For all you non-Community fans out there that was a Community reference. Also, watch Community. It rocks.

I like Community, but it’s become a little to meta for my tastes. I feel unhip enough in my day-to-day life without being bombarded with cultural references that I mostly don’t get.

I don't watch television often, but when I do
I make it Archer or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. No pop culture references to shoot over my head.

Archer is effing brilliant.
I missed most of Season 2, can’t wait to see it.

Won't lie
season 1 and season 2 were way better than this year. However, the characters are still good enough to keep watching regardless of the story. Troy and Abed are the 2 most hilarious characters on TV.
