IU natives are restless

Crean likely arranged for this roof damage

First thing I joked around with guy in office next to me who is also an IU grad...."how many nanoseconds before someone says Crean did it".

He replied, "maybe it was one of the idiots that think we are supposed to be DUKE and they're trying to kill him"

[ChicosBailBonds]

What the hell are you? Some sort of fluoridated Commie subversive? Get with the effing program and buy a Whitman's Sampler!

Nope.  Lame holiday, don't do it.  On her orders years ago.  We have date night every week (well, more like every other week with schedules).  No Valentine's Day crap.

Wait, what? If coaching Indiana is considered the pinnacle of college basketball, how is Indiana not supposed to be Duke?

It's not.  Not the pinnacle and not at Duke's level.  Hasn't been in decades.  One of the top 6 programs of all time?  Yes.  But that's different than saying its at their level.  Of course all of these programs are having some hiccups, its just that some fans handle it better than others.

Kentucky NIT last year.  North Carolina a few years ago.  Duke goes down to Lehigh as a 2 seed.  You get the idea.

Well, somebody disagrees...

Now where on earth would those idiot fans get the idea that they should be Duke?

I love how he uses the royal we throughout that video. What an absolute d bag

Of course, that's what coaches do.  Indiana is a special place, on the list of lists, but for me to be in the same conversation you have to do it most of the time.  The slide started under Knight, kept going under Davis, bottomed out with Sampson (good team, just cheated) and Dakich.  I suppose you can still be considered an elite "program" from a historical perspective and I wouldn't disagree with that, but to be like Duke, KU, UK, etc, you better step it up and do it for 9 years out of 10 type of thing.  They're not back to that yet.  Neither is UCLA right now.  Still elite historically, but rough patches.  For IU, I'd argue the rough patch (sans last year and the year Davis took them to the Final) has been a good 15 years strong.

A lot of things to dislike with him, not sure why that would be one since so many other coaches do it, including Brent Buzz Williams.

Hanner's got the boot off and is ready to go for I4 tonight! I4 vs Becky, should be fun!

Still watching this clunker of a game just to see the Bo-TC handshake.

Crean having them foul down 14 with under a minute left.  "Coachable moments" I suppose.

Only when Buzz does it are we allowed to call it a Coachable moment....anyone else and it is a douche move.

[77ncaachamps]

I had to do a double take: IU only shot THREE FTs (they made two)!

THREE FTs!!!

Interesting critical comments by Dan Dakich after the kid who got the DUI was back in action after an 11 day suspension.

Its a douche moment when anyone does it.  Frustrates the hell out of me.

Dakich sure was clear in his feelings on the way Crean handled it

This is why you suck.

Looking at all the threads in the Al maybe I should start a thread...MU natives are restless. On second thought....

Yeah, I don't think you'll need to do that.....seems it is covered.  I just wonder if IU fans are linking MU messages to their boards in some weird, cosmic alliance like folks do here.

Why would they?

Now, I can imagine where IU fans would link to other big ten teams. Or possibly even Texas tech after knight left.

Apples to oranges.  Now if we had people linking UNO messages here, then we could talk.
