Apparently not - your words seem to indicate otherwise. I4!!!!!
Those posts remind me of the crean years. The indiana fans should stay tight as their Dwade may be coming soon.

so basically they sound like us (or every other fan base) after a loss?
After some of the weak sauce that has been posted here after losses, as well as 30 point WINS that apparently should have been 50 point wins, it is a little hypocritical to be amused by another boards'
meltdown.

Hell, why go back that far? Read after this year's UWM game?
The funny part is much of the arguments center around the coach and his coaching...funny after a MU loss nowadays people dont seem to want to pin the loss on the coach or his coaching...sans one....
That fan base will begin to hate him more and more as his character is revealed. Creans character will wear out his welcome every where he goes, give hime time he will do it to himself.
Does their scout site have a virus like ours or is it safe to go over there?
The drop of the ball has started early for IU. On their boards it seems Crean is not safe. I have offered ten bucks to the buyout. I think they will be setting up a pay pal account after the Big Ten season ends.

Do the mods ever take new threads like this down? Cause it does not seem like they do. Over the past few weeks/months there are numerous times when people start new threads when the exact same thing is being discussed in detail. I guess I really should not care but then again I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't some what annoying.

All I can say is, "Welcome to the internet".
When there is free speech, some people will always be jags.
Lost again last night to Colorado. Most assuredly dooming them to another sub .500 season and no post season birth.
Funny funny exchange during the Butler/Fla. St. game last night where the announcers discussed young coaches can have success and then develop a "NAismith Complex" and how Brad Stevens has avoided that. No mention of the clown an hour south of Stevens. Whom many refer to as Tommy Naismith for that very reason!!! :D :D
It may just be me, but I have no idea who you are talking about here. Wanna be more specific?
I'm still trying to understand if he's talking about the "birth" of Jesus Christ which we celebrate tomorrow, since a tournament invitation is a berth.
I4 is proving again to be all sizzle, no steak.
And the sizzle is more like chili's fajitas than a top notch NY strip.
I like steak. :P
I'll bet they fire him before the season is over

I'm friends with some of the moderators over there....they said it's been interesting to see how many "IU" fans are on the message boards over there the last few years with Milwaukee and Wisconsin IP addresses...most of them popping up in the last 24 months.
Most people over there get it. They were picked 9th or 10th for a reason this year. The troops don't start arriving until next year and the two classes beyond that.

No offense Chicos - but ironically, it seems some over here need to "get it." MU was picked 8th or 9th in the Big East for a reason...12th in the Big East last year for a reason...and after DePaul last year we had many predicting we'd be lucky to make the NIT (yourself included), and now this year due to the way we've won the games we've won..and for losing to Duke, Zaga, and Wisconsin..we are "doomed" for the NIT. Regardless, that's about what we should be ticketed for, right? Considering our predicted 8th place finish? Why some of the disbelief and outrage on your part when we only beat UWM by 2, Centenary by 29, etc??

I said The preseason TOP 25national rankings where 360 teams are supposedly evaluated to choose the top 25....I did not say picking 1 through 11 in a conference done by the coaches in the conference who know their own teams and those of the league inside and out.
Yes, really, seriously....try to read what I ACTUALLY say and that will help with your comebacks.

Well come on now Chicos, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Where was MU picked in its conference the last two years, and where did it finish?
Just sayin'... fair and balanced. ;)

Hang in there dude - I'll make it a New Year's resolution to pay attention to the pesky little details as you call them! That said, if you would make it an effort in 2011 to NOT post negative knee jerk reaction typs of content - it would be appreciated - and in so doing, I'm sure myself and others wouldn't misconstrue the content of your posts.

PS I suspect we'll end up in the polls closer to 16th then to 9th but we'll see. Those same stellar coaches picked Notre Dame 4th including one vote to win the conference. If I recall, they picked Marquette 12th a few years ago. Coaches just slap something on paper, they don't put any time in it. I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in what the coaches picked in preseason.

Do you have me confused with another poster because I don't remember making any Vikings predictions this year.
There is nothing wrong with making a prediction and then being wrong. Happens all the time. That would be called a miss. I'm sure I've made lots of predictions on this board that were wrong, oh well, I'm fine with that.
You flat out lying would not be considered a miss. It is a lie. So please don't refer to it as such, or put a smiley face after your comment, especially after you called me out. The right thing to do would be just to admit you were flat out wrong and don't remember saying that.

It's a lie when it's intentional, you know when Lenny says the VAST MAJORITY of my Buzz posts are negative when they aren't (and has been proven....Lenny's going to love all the science behind it...the guy who is doing it is very good).
You're right, I confused you with JayBee...that's a mistake, not a lie.
I'll own up to it right now. I was wrong, my apologies for making that mistake and confusing you with Jay Bee (a double whammy, because really no one should be compared to Jay Bee). Hopefully that is owning up to it enough.
Some day Lenny may do the same, but we know he won't and the data will have to call him out instead. Unfortunate, but he won't man up when he's wrong. There are plenty of us here that are wrong and we do man up and admit it. Again, my apologies Jmayer for confusing you with JayBee.

I'm sure you meant that as a compliment. If you ever decide to truly own up for being wrong each time you are, please try to consolidate the apologies to one post... otherwise, we'd be looking at hundreds of individual threads.
As for I4, I'll probably head over to the Barn to watch Minnesota beat the living hell out of that terrible team on Tuesday. It's year three and they will be sub-.500... you probably know the history -- what was the
consensus of I4 fans when Crean was hired as to when they'd first have a winning season? I've gotta think the majority thought by year 3 they would at least be a .500 (overall, not in conference) team...

Yes, I would think most IU fans thought they would have a winning overall record in year 3. We'll see how this season shakes out. Of course most IU fans are thrilled with who they have coming in over the next three years and even more thrilled to be beyond the stench that was Kelvin Sampson.
Have fun at the Barn, shame they couldn't beat Wisconsin but somehow UW-madison's lesser talented teams just keep beating MU, Minnesota and most other teams.

Actually, my Vikings prediction this year was far more tempered than last season. That's why I won a ton of money last year, and didn't lose any this year.
Do you honestly think there is a chance I4 doesn't have a losing record? They are brutal. Change 'next three' to 'next four'... 2014 looks good as of today.
I wish we had Becky in Minneapolis this season... not sure they 'just keep beating'.. I think Tubby had a few in a row against Bo until the Dec 28 game. But, Becky does find a way to be a solid team most years... maybe your love affair with traditional players has some merit in certain circumstances. The sad thing is WI's top two players (far and away) are both Minnesota kids.

Yet they are still "traditional"...I could care less where we get them from, I'd just like to have a few on the squad....they can be from Minnesota, Cancun, or Cairo for all I care. Can they shoot the ball, rebound the ball, make free throws and play with a high basketball IQ.
You'll forgive me, but weren't you picking the Vikings to win the NFC North? Going to the playoffs? Etc?
I have no idea where IU will finish. I predicted a winning record this year, before they lost Michel, that hurt them. Ken Pom predicts they go 14-17 so two games different gives them a winning record. That's why we'll have to see how it shakes out.

The kid from my high school, Jordan Taylor, is not 'traditional' as you define it.
Two years ago I bet many people, including a handful on this board, that Minnesota would win the NFC North. This year I did not.
I can tell you where it'll shake out - I4 will finish below .500 and they would have with that cheater guy. I would gladly take that bet (I4 .500 or not) if you'd entertain it.

JDD, you're a weird dude. Let me know if you want to take me up on the I4 bet (or if you want to propose a Vikings bet).
Like I said, "Two years ago I bet many people, including a handful on this board, that Minnesota would win the NFC North. This year I did not." A joking post when a team is 0-2 is great and all, glad you could find that, but actions speak a lot stronger than words.
PS - maybe you can make yourself useful... I understand Comcast picked up SNY in a number of markets... but I can't figure out if we will get it here in Minneapolis... do you know what is going on between SNY and Comcast, and if I should expect it to be available via Comcast in the Twin Cities soon (or now)?
I'm a weird dude because I showed where you said they would win it, on multiple posts from you?
Sorry, it was so funny no one recognized it as a joke.
Call Comcast
