Are we sticking with this being a single season league?

A couple better offensive possessions for IU there. Let's see if they can start making FT Their defense was doing fine early, but they've had a tough run in the last few minutes on that end

There are guys here that watch much more Indiana basketball than I do, but I have never regarded Crean as a good basketball coach. He's definitely being outcoached in this game, these guys were not ready for what Syracuse is doing. This isn't to say he can't recruit, of course

Good God does Indiana look terrible. Get it together, guys

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) Is this guy credible? Why is no one else picking up on this announcement?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) Why would you post random Facebook trash like that in here? I thought we could have fun de-crapping it

Sounds like they're doing a good job. I think we have just enough to spend that we could really bring in a big name if the time and player was right -- the nice thing about the way we do things is we don't like to bring on huge salary commitments just because. No Michael Bourns or Kyle Lohses here. We could make a big dollar acquisition via trade this year to put us over the top or we could really do some adding in the next offseason if we want with a lot of money coming off the books.

It probably has narrowed the gap, but I'm sure there's still a logical spread. It wouldn't shock me if the split had gone from 8-10 to 6-8 though

I would totally buy a Hinrich jersey if it was about half-75% off right now QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 01:39 PM) Boozer is the textbook dumb basketball player. You should watch more Illini basketball

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 01:21 PM) Im saying both NBA and NCAA have bad refereeing for the most part. Saying that the NBA is damn good compared to NCAA isnt really saying much, they are both bad But how do we know this is bad if no good exists?

But Balta, Quaker sells the less processed version more cheaply and in larger quantities.

Why buy those little packets when you could a tube of it and add exactly which ingredients you want? Ingredients 100% NATURAL WHOLE GRAIN QUAKER QUALITY ROLLED OATS.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 11:37 AM) Sorry but when I watch sports if the other team outright wins then you lost. I don't give a f*** whether it happened in regulation. The reason they do it like this is because you wouldn't feel like you deserved to lose a basketball game if it was decided by a free throw contest. QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 12:05 PM) I bet whatever he said at the end of that exchange was funny. Wish I could have heard. Carlos Boozer, for all the whining there is about him/his contract- has been a joy to have on this team, and is under-appreciated by armchair GMs everywhere. Carlos is a good and very valuable player. Our team will be undeniably worse whenever we decide to cut him loose. His main sin is not being a good defender (though he's made huge strides in that area, he clearly just lacks the instincts of a good defender) and being paid at market value. Market value players in the NBA aren't really cost efficient. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 12:08 PM) NBA officiating is actually damn good especially in comparison to the travesty that is college basketball officiating. Agreed. And to the "tallest midget" thing, to what referent are you comparing. Older NBA officials? High school officiating?

I buy the big ass tubs of oatmeal, no sweat.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 28, 2013 -> 12:21 AM) So...where is your brother? Much like the Duck Commander once had Terry Bradshaw as a backup, my bro has moved on to bigger and better things

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 09:39 AM) Well, I still had more confidence in him as a backup than um... who is the Bears backup now? I've heard murmurs from the beat guys that the Bears plan was to just go with McCown to save money. Has Grossman signed? He'd honestly be great as a backup. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 10:08 AM) Didnt they stash a kid on the practice squad that did decent in preseason last year? Really big kid, I think he was D2 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 27, 2013 -> 11:32 AM) Matt Blanchard. Blanchard is from D3 UW-Whitewater, was once my big brother's backup

Yes -- when I see headlines like the one SS posted, it simply points out the flaw in the system. It benefits people to do worse for their employees. I don't have a perfect solution, this is just going to be a growing problem in a post-industrial society.

He's created a tremendous amount of pressure for himself and every day he waits, the pressure to return and to perform even better when he returns grows. It's a tough spot for him, though it is almost entirely self-created. "He'll return soon! All-Star break probably!" "... he needs a few more days. He wants to be 110%!" "Okay... At least he'll be dominant when he comes back now!" "Okay, maybe a little longer. He wants to not only be 110%, but also find a way to impregnate his MVP trophy." "Aww s***, his return is going to be NUTS" "We're so sorry, he's been MVP-esque in practice and he just wants to be totally ready." "We're going to win the 'ship if he just comes back!" *kill self*
