Hate Week 2: Hate Harder

Despite feeling more melancholy than I have all year thanks to the putrid efford at home against Northwestern I'm still excited about another hate week. Shit talking is fun. Bringing up debates about players who haven't touched a basketball in over a decade is fun. Arguing over whose team is better historically, presently, and futurely (I'm aware that isn't a word) is fun. In general, Hate Week is good times lollipop. So I urge everyone to use this post to discuss Purdue vs IU related topics.
Rules:
1. Try to avoid personal attacks
2. Try not to say anything that brings shame to your fanbase.
3. Everybody dance now.

Statistically speaking,
Purdue should kick the living shit outta IU. Game should not even be close especially the way both teams are playing now (Purdue four game win streak and IU four game losing streak). However, considering the fact that it is a rivalry game and the fact that IU will not be dancing at all in the post season (therefore this is their game of the year), this game could be very close. Think how good Purdue was last year, and IU still gave them a heart attack in assembly hall.
Spread is in the double digits.
So Vegas expects an ass beating or so one would think. It’s very possible IU keeps it close until the last couple minutes then all the fouling will drive up the margin of victory to double figures. Although at the moment I have no idea what team we’re going to see on Wednesday. If IU starts out slow Purdue might demoralize us and dominate the entire game. If we keep it close or take the lead a few times the crowd should keep the momentum in our favor more often than not.
Regardless I’m worried about Wednesday. Losing to Northwestern at home is embarrassing, but losing to Purdue at home makes me want to die.

I don’t think it’s hopeless. This IU team has been over the map. As has been noted here and in other threads, a worse IU team played a good Purdue team down to the wire at home last year. While Purdue is much better than Illinois and Minnesota, the teams that account for our best wins, we also played really well for about 35 minutes at Wisconsin. It will take IU’s best effort of the season and a bit of a snooze by Purdue, but it’s within the realm of possibility.

I think it will be close
Just because it was close down there last year. IU has nothing to lose and we have everything to lose.

Top 5 least favorite Purdue basketball players
5. Glenn Robinson. Dog.
4. Rick Mount. And he graduated before I was born. Still, he’s an ass.
3. Brad Miller
2. Cuonzo Martin. Dog’s freeloader.
1. Brian Cardinal. No explanation needed.
I’m sure that I am missing someone. Have at it.

Chris Kramer
Always hated him. Always. I don’t even have much of a basis for my hate. He just looks like a douche. And a rapist.

Kramer
Yeah, I get that. Uninteresting story: Kramer and I share a hometown. I know his father, who goes about 6-8, 270, with a menacing goatee. Nice guy, but a bit imposing. I was coaching my daughter’s 5th grade team, and Mr. Kramer was the referee. He was calling the game in Big Ten fashion: letting them play. I took exception with the fact that one of my centers had to come out of the game, twice, bleeding. I don’t think I was out of line, but whatever. At the end of the third quarter, as I am trying to talk to my team, he comes over, takes me by both shoulders, pulls me into his chest, leans in and administers a private “talking to”, in front a pretty good sized crowd. Basically: get a grip, it’s a fifth grade game and you are setting a bad example for your players. Good object lesson for my team, which I shared after the game. There is a time in life to talk, and a time to shut up. I disagreed with him, but that was most definitely a time to shut up.

I admit
First time I heard her during a broadcast, I didn’t know who she was. “Who is this person?” I thought.
Amusingly, it was an IU fan who pointed it out on a message board.

I admire Chris Kramer
because he wasn’t the most talented player out there but he made the biggest impact. Me being a pretty meh athlete, hard work was the only way to get by. So I admire guys that can work their way to the top. Its why I admire Jeremiah Rivers more than most. He has to work for every ounce of playing time he gets.

Cuonzo Martin
I would list the Big Dog, but I’m a little afraid of him. I really don’t dislike Cuonzo, but I’m not going to honor Kelsey Barlow with a place on the list until he makes us hate him for something other than his mouth.

he's a thorn
I hate him while he’s playing but I’ll admire him when he’s no longer an issue to worry about.
