For sure.

Shut down Gibbs and Wannamaker and there goes 80% of their scoring.

Or zone them...like IU is doing.

Pitt and nd are terrible.  I'm starting to think we will be in the top half - we are better than I'd hoped and several teams have not reloaded nearly as quicky as mu.

I caught a few minutes early in the second half.  Both Pitt + IIII looked horrible!  We've reloaded so quickly thanks to Buzz!

Come on guys you should already know by now that this is Chicos way of subconsciously tooting TC's horn while attacking the TC haters, like hayward, simultaneously

I often agree with many of the things ya say Chicos, but u cannot tell me im off base here. It may be that u root for TC even more because of the absurdity that comes from all those that hate him so much and block out his accomplishments, and i guess I cant blame you

I will say this much though- for those that got more emotion out of indiana upsetting pitt than outta MU winning, and im sure there are a few, there is no better indication that it is time to cut the cord

I'm an alum of Marquette and Indiana.  I watch both programs. Not sure what you mean by cutting the cord, am I not allowed to cheer for both schools since I attended both?  I watched MU wipe the floor against a very poor UWM team tonight.  I was happy we won, but still feel it's ridiculous we even play them.  It helps us not one bit, zero upside.

I watched the IU game for two reasons....it's where I also went to school and because they were playing Pitt, a conference foe.

Pitt looks HORRIBLE.  It's the first time I've seen them play all year.  We should have very little problem beating them, that's what I said and I'm sticking to it.  I didn't realize they needed OT to be Duquense the other day as well (another reason why you don't play cross town rivals that are light years below you).

IU is not good and won't be until next year (even then, they'll just be respectable).  If they can dismantle Pitt like that on a neutral court, we should do the same, especially on our home court.   That's all it was, sorry to disappoint.  If you or others take it a different way, that's fine. I didn't mention any coach at all in my post, unlike some posters who simply cannot avoid it.


Of note, Bobby Knight was there...it was the first IU game he has seen in person since he left the school.

Didnt know you were an Indiana alum, so i apologize there. I do however know that when u make statements like "looks like we should have very little problem beating pitt" it is a bit of a knock at crean haters who come and attack the job he is doing at Indiana.

I understand that Pitt looked bad, but just because they played a poor game against Indiana doesnt mean they will against MU

Its indiana, its indiana

Ahh, very true.  Probably the same argument could be made that just because IU played poorly against Boston University, doesn't mean they will against, Pitt, for example.  I think you are catching on.  We'll see if a few of the other folks with less developed frontal lobes can manage that reasoning as well.  ;)

Nevertheless, we should beat Pitt.  It's at MU, Pitt isn't very good and if a no talent, hack coached team like IU can do it, then we certainly we can with our quickly reloaded squad (besides, I picked MU to beat Pitt on the blog and I'd hate to miss that one....or maybe I subconsciously picked MU to win that game to show up Buzz as my way to take on the TC haters because I knew 5 weeks ago that IU would win tonight against Pitt....it's all coming together now?)

IU is the second worst team in the B10, Pit is very poor too. They lost all their offense and it seems like alot of there toughness.  The game was brutal to watch, two very very bad teams.  Chicos can crow all he wants that IU won.  Good for him.  IU is still terrible no matter how hard he wants to toot their horn.

I agree they look very beatable now.. we don't play them for another 2 months.. a LOT can change in those two months.  Past experience tells me that this is never a game to be taken lightly.

Indiana will be lucky to win ten games this year.  Mark it down.  Pitt will be better at the end of the year as Jamie Dixon is head and shoulders above Crean as a coach and recruiter.  Games in December mean little.  Remember how most Crean teams looked like world beaters early but you didn;t want to be an equipment manager for Tommy Naismith in March.  Watch out for flying tape and football dummies.

I really like Dixon, very solid coach and recruiter.  For some odd reason, however, despite being head and shoulders above another coach, that other coach has more than held his own against him...in fact, has a winning record head to head against him.   ;)

IU will be destroyed by Kentucky this weekend and certain folks will return to happiness as a result.

Which is what happens to about 90% of coaches...eventually they are all fired or retire at some point.  Nothing new here, that's what happens to just about everyone not named Boeheim, Roy Williams, Calhoun, etc.

No different than what will happen with Buzz....he'll either do well, stick around for awhile and then leave.  Do poorly and be asked to leave.
Title: Key to Indiana's win over Pitt last night - Jim Harbaugh?
Post by: mugrad2006 on December 09, 2009, 10:09:05 AM
Crean had an explanation for why the Hoosiers came out the way they did for the second half. He had his brother-in-law, Stanford football coach Jim Harbaugh, address the team at halftime.
"I can tell you they never heard a halftime speech like that," Crean said. "They were charging out of that locker room.

I'm neither a Crean lover nor a Crean basher, but if I were him, I wouldn't brag too much about this. Shouldn't Crean be giving the halftime pep talk? Maybe Jim Harbaugh should be the IU basketball coach.

Jim Harbaugh has always been a complete dope. At one time he was one of those born again "Thank the Lord Jesus Christ" type interviews after games. Next thing you know, he's getting DUIs, divorcing his wife and getting a $50,000 toilet installed in his office. A total dope. If ND had hired him it would have been an absolute disaster. He'll embarrass himself at Stanford...and soon. Mark my words.

I think that's the whole point of the original post....if IU is terrible, as you state, then there should be no reason MU doesn't beat Pitt at MU.  MU is better than IU and Pitt.  Pitt will be on the road at MU.  This should be a MU victory.

Did anyone else see the quick interview espn had with crean that was played during the 2nd half? Crean was talking about how he met Valvano, and that Jimmy V referenced Crean in some public speech. Crean said something along the lines of "that made my head swell". If I was Crean at that time (not sure when this was, but I'm pretty sure Crean wasn't very big time when it happened, seeing that it had to have been before 1993) I would've been honored too, but Tommy, everyone knows that your head is big enough, you don't need to remind us.

Great question....I think a ton will be determined in the next two years.  If he can get Selby and land the class next year he's on pace to land, he has the potential to be a Final Four coach again in the next decade.  If he doesn't, then my opinion is they will be a NCAA team but will fail in the first two rounds, much like at MU.  It all depends if he can get IU to the point where he can land players that an IU allows him to land in the ideal situation.

I have zero doubts he will be there in a few years and look forward to collecting my bet with Rocky.   ;)

I almost felt sorry for them when I was watching that game.

He'll embarrass himself at Stanford...and soon. Mark my words.

Getting close! He's a disaster waiting to happen.

Kansas has reportedly offered a lucrative contract to Jim Harbaugh to come coach the Jayhawks.  I've been to Palo Alto and I've been to Lawrence, KS.  It would take a boat load of cash to get me to move to Lawrence!

I loved Lawrence when I went to school there.  I hope he goes to KU, would turn my other alma mater into a very good team.  Hope it happens.  Palo Alto is great, if you love No. Cal, hippees and libs everywhere.   ;D

My sister and brother-in-law live in Prairie Village and have been Jayhawk season ticket holders for years.  I have gone to games at the Fog - a truly cool place.

You are the only person I have ever encountered who refers to grad schools they have attended as "alma maters". Your one and only is Marquette. Whether your a doctor, lawyer or Indian chief, dear old alma mater is all about the misspent youth and discovery of undergraduate education. The rest is a prolonged job application process or a work study program. Give it a rest.

Shame you haven't met too many people then....the actual definition of alma mater is where you earned your first degree OR doctorate\advanced degree OR both.  But hey, anything to give you an opening to take a shot, right TH?  Even if you're dead wrong.  LOL.  Enjoy today, hopefully for your sake MU wins and IU loses so you'll have double fun.....although right now IU is actually leading Kentucky (it's very early and I expect a 25 point thrashing).


Alma mater (Latin: "nourishing mother"), pronounced /ˈælmə ˈmeɪtər/ (UK), /ˈɑːlmə ˈmɑːtər/ (US), was used in ancient Rome as a title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele[1], and in Medieval Christianity for the Virgin Mary. In modern times, it is often a school, college, or university attended during one's formative years,[1]  which is usually interpreted to mean from where one earned one's first degree or doctorate, or both.[2]


TH....could you also contact Marquette for us all.  It seems that they have an article here about a judge visiting her alma mater, even though it was law school that she attended and not her undergraduate.  I want to make sure they are in compliance with how you view the world.  Tell them to "give it a rest".  LOL

The Phog is great, but I also enjoyed football there.  Still remember storming the field after beating Oklahoma, tearing down the goalposts and throwing one of them into Potter Lake.  Great times.

So you've had three "nourishing mothers". Congrats. The people I know are content with their first (real) one even if they have doctorates. Like in the definition, the one attended during one's formative years. Usually where one get his first degree. Or doctorate. You add /advance degree though I don't see it even in the tail end of the definition. So what did you receive your doctorate in from Indiana and Kansas?

Not all advanced degrees are doctorates, I'm sure you realize this.   Look up the other definitions, some don't mention first degree at all, some mention ANY degree, some mention simply attending the school and a degree not required.  

Some examples that don't fit your definition..."alma mater is the school or schools you went to".    "The school, college or university where you studied".  "Your alma mater is a school you graduated from"  "The school, college, or university where you were a student"



It's ok to be wrong TH, it really is.  

For the record, no doctorate from IU or KU.   PhD = Piled High and Deep.  No thanks.

As proven by real estate prices, population, etc.  High demand for the Kansas life.   Everyone wants to live in Kansas....the place where they really believe that the Flintstones is non-fiction work.  I'll take hippies anyday over that Sarah Palin  ;) "real people" crap your pushing.

People gravitate to the coasts, or water ports where commerce is conducted.  Been that way since the dawn of time.  I'll take anyone in Kansas over Gavin Newsome every day of the week and twice on Sundays....or Nancy, or Barbara, or Dianne or whatever else is classified as people up there.   ;)

Just curious--where are your graduate degrees from?

Both my degrees are from MU. However, were they from two different institutions, I would consider both to be my alma mater.
