Hoooooooooooooosiers!
Sounds like VJ3 is warming up. Doesn’t really mean he’ll play much but I take it as he’s available if absolutely necessary.

So, John, I'm just spitballin' here, but I'm guessing you don't like Illinois?
A sassy, brassy, classy lassy.
It’s odd because this feels like the first year in a while where there isn’t really a big buildup to this game. The last decade or so has had Illinois in the upper echelon of the Big Ten, the whole Eric Gordon issue, or the “David v. Goliath” aspect. This year it just feels like “yep, two pretty even teams in the Big Ten”
Sid Bream was out, Jeremy Giambi was safe, Pete Rose should be in the Hall, Walter O'Malley shouldn't, and the Expos should be in Montreal.

I think they'll figure it out.
The offense is moving around, they’re driving the lane and taking threes in a balanced way. The shots just haven’t fallen, and we do have Meyers Leonard in the paint blocking shots. Dude is good.
The defense is also performing decently. We are getting stops. I’m going to believe that the shots will fall in the last 20.

yeah it’s like looking at a stat line from the Mike Davis era. Sure when one team shoots a lot more free throws it looks like official bias, but when one team does nothing but stand around and shoot three’s on the offensive side they aren’t going to get a lot of fouls.

Indiana scored 1.34 points per possession.
Illinois got 1.08.

Well, folks... over .500 in the conference, 19 wins on the season.
Unless IU fell completely apart, I’m willing to say they’re tournament bound. Seriously. Just a couple of more wins, and I think IU’s a legit Big Dance team.
It’s been so long….

Still playing for seed.
I’d like a 6 or higher.

Yep.
Being in the top half of a region’s seeding would be sweet.
But of course, caveat: It’s not over till it’s over, and I don’t want to start counting seedings seriously until the B10 tourney is underway. Any sooner and it’s too soon.

just watched the dvr version
gonna save my thoughts for tomorrow’s recap since no one is around to discuss it with anyway.

Aw
Your two more hateful and jealous posts were deleted. What a shame. HEY! I heard you have a recruit that was named an All-American. Oh, wait. That was us. Yeah, but I’m sure your team is a LOCK for the NCAA tournament. Hold up. You say that the more likely scenario is that you’ll be in the NIT? Wow. That’s crazy. I thought that Purdue was the pinnacle of basketball perfection and that ‘IU sucks’? What happened, buddy?

don't bother
Georgia Boiler will be taking a break from here for a bit. The trolling was fine and dandy for hate week, but it’s been a week and he’s still trolling. We’ll let him stew about his IU obsession somewhere else for a few days.

booooooooo!
I enjoyed sparring with GeorgiaBoiler sometimes. Plus I was going to investigate how his simmering hatred originated. My theory:
He was madly in love with a waitress down at the local diner. She agreed to go on a date with him. He thought it went well. However, a few days later he got on facebook and found that his love had put up a new profile picture. It was of her and another guy wearing… An IU cap! GeorgiaBoiler was filled with rage. He called the girl and left a long voice message about how she made a mistake and how she was going to have a miserable life residing in her new beau’s trailer while eating nothing but Spaghettios and ramen noodles. He closed with “fuck you and your white trash boyfriend.” A few hours he received a text message just 4 words long. It said, “He’s my brother, asshole.” GeorgiaBoiler spent the next few days calling his true love trying to apologize but to no avail. Finally he ended his fruitless efforts. But he vowed from that day forward to always and fervently hate Indiana University and every one of it’s fans. The tragedy of it all is that he doesn’t hate IU at all. Deep down he knows that what he truly hates the most…is himself.
It’s plausible, right? And a good story if nothing else. I’m thinking about trying to make it into a movie.

You should see what he wrote on my North Korea fanpost.
He must not have anywhere to go in the morning, to be up past 1 in the morning calling me out for not being a “true Hoosier” because I wasn’t born and raised here.

that's a typical Purdue fan.
They wish that Purdue fans were all over the country but since they aren’t they act like their fanbase is of a higher quality because every last one of them went to Purdue. If anything fans who weren’t born and raised in Indiana are MORE dedicated and hard core. You don’t have every single game readily available on BTN so you either watch it on the internet or have to go out to a sportsbar or have to pay exorbitant prices to get BTN added to your cable package. Plus, while I can jump in my car and drive down to Btown for a game any time I feel like it you essentially have to make a vacation out of it. Their logic is flawed and their berating comes only out of insecurity. Don’t pay it any mind.

I enjoy it
and think that LoneStar should compare this mentality to Hitler and the Aryan movement. I think she would have plenty of material and a good strong use of Godwin’s Law is always fun.

Seconded.

I'm a little hesitant to invoke the Hitler comparison for two reasons:
1. Godwin’s Law states that once a debater introduces Hitler into an argument, that debater automatically loses the argument. I would be doing that, and therefore, would automatically cede the argument to Purdue fans.
2. We’ve had some fun reading the crazy-ass shit that GeorgiaBoiler likes to spew all over this blog, but it’s not clear to me that other Boilermakers share his beliefs in re: Residency requirements for fandom, school diplomas required for fandom, “IU fans are nothing but dirty redneck hillbillies,” etc. I could write something about those viewpoints, but ultimately I think it would just come off as picking on one trolling commenter and sound petty and whiny. Rather like a Boilermaker! But, I do enjoy it when good writers fisk bullshit. I’ll think about it.
