Those of you who hate reading anything positive about Tom Crean . . .

[Coach Norman Dale]

Oh man, his tan is starting to fade. Someone fire up the booth!

Seriously though, he will have that printed onto a lifesize cutout of himself.

[jaybilaswho?]

GOD, I hate him.

$10 bucks an endtable is underneath that ball.  No way he can palm it.  

He also looks constipated, maybe he is trying to break Randy Marsh's world record of 11 courics.

Hahahaha!! "I'M NOT NUMBER 2!!!!!!"

So who wants to bet that Crean came up with "The Healer" moniker? What the hell has he healed?

Anybody else see the picture with this caption

"Two killed in Hancock Co. wreck

Witnesses tell police car was traveling erratically when it hit a van on Ind. 9. "

This article reads just like articles about the Tan One in MJS right after he was hired @ MU. 

Just wait until he can't recruit big men at IU.  He had a cake walk in Milwaukee.

For some reason, Steven Gamble's response for coming to Indiana made me laugh. 

"...to learn and to study...not to play basketball."  haha

Umm, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but on this year's team he has a 6'8" guy (who was well thought of out of high school and had originally committed under Sampson), a 7 footer (admittedly a big-time project) and Kyle Tabor who is (I think) 6'8".  Then next year's class includes a 6'7" (top 50) player, another 6'8" player (top 100) player and a 6'11" (top 125 and I believe improving) player coming to Bloomington.  IMO strong work under the circumstances.  Not all stars by any means, and 2-3 rough years ahead, but I truly doubt he will have much trouble bringing in big guys (or medium guys or small guys if appropriate) to Indiana.

Who is Steve Gamble?

Maybe these guys are the real deal...or maybe they are OOOOOOze.  Don't get me wrong, OOze was probably worth the gamble, but he hasn't become the real deal....yet.
