Keep it clean, folks! ;)

"Get yourself a tan, young man, and we'll fill every seat in the house."
"It's Libscomb, It's Lipscomb.....hmmmmm, maybe I need a new schtick. Waddaya think?"
"I saw the way you took out Amare Stoudemire a few weeks back. You know, you'd never have been able to do that if I didn't have you rush that tackling dummy in a Cinci jersey, right?"
"Your still trying to grow that raggedy beard?!?"
"You will look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you Travis. I'm at f&*^ing Indiana now. I am better than you, I'm at Indiana....did you hear that? F(*&ing Indiana.....you hear me...Indiana."
Sorry I had to include you in the IU media guide, but it's because of me that you, Steve, and Wade are in the NBA.
"No, not Tim. It's Tom, Tom Crean."
Caption:
"Indiana Pacers guard Travis Diener graciously tries to avoid talking to his unusually tan former college coach, Tom Crean. Diener later admitted it's a chore to pretend to be interested in speaking with him and that he's embarrassed that he's the only player in the NBA whose college coach follows him around like an NBA groupie. 'Now I know how Ben Sheets feels,' Diener said."
"Now that I think about it... this unbelievable center I brought in is about your size!"
"Do you remember me telling you that since I was a 12 year old boy, I always wanted to coach at Lipscomb..."
How do you like the way I pulled the crap over the eyes of those cheeseheads in Wisconsin for 9 years?
Man, Lipscomb was a bitch.
"Know any good dojos around here...can they make wooden boards with all the logos for the Big Ten teams...?"
"I bet you 10:1 that they'll do some lame caption contest on an obsessed MU message board about this."
"which is why I hate posing for the cameras, I'm not really trying to get my name out there."
Unfortunately I can't keep it clean...Crean looks like a pedophile in that picture. (Doesn't help that Diener will always look like he's 12)
TC: Can you introduce me to Larry Bird?
TD: No.
TC: Can you invite Larry Bird to come to the lockerroom before the game? I'll give him Mike Maddox's seats.
TD: No. And you know that Larry Bird went to Indiana State, right?
TC: I've loved Indiana State since I was 12. It's Indiana State, It's Indiana State.
TD: silence.
TC: Does my new super slicked back hair make me look more or less tan?
TD: more uncomfortable silence.
TC: Hey, can you and DWade come to Midnight Madness next year and help me recruit for our new school, Indiana?
Man, Travis, you've really made great progress on that beard. When was the last time you shaved, oh, 2003?
"Travis, a little hint on increasing your sponsorship dollars, pick your beverage of choice based on the color of your uni's. I drank Dew at MSU, Diet Pepsi and baby blue at MU, and now Coke Classic and Crimson at IU. Grab a Mellow Yellow next time you head to your next presser, son--the dollars will come rolling in."
Speaking of our love/hate lust for TC, the Illini board is all over him.
