I meant to mention that I bumped into the U-M basketball team at Amsterdam airport passport control last month.  I greeted them with a hearty "Go Boilers!", and they cheerily riposted by flipping me the bird.  How we laughed!

Eh? I mustn't have heard you. Too busy admiring these:

Purdue has a couple of these, right? No? At least one, right? No?

I'm sure there we can get some insight into that from someone from Purdue, right? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdm4Oi1YRZY)

I guess Purdue has been National runner-up as many times as Indiana State and Butler, so there's that.

Maurice Creek will be back for IU.

Man angry after being tossed out Ross-Ade for being 'too large'

To the faculty, staff and student body of Purdue University,
I would like to thank you all for the shabby treatment that I was subjected to at the homecoming football game on Saturday. Apparently I, at 6-foot-2-inches and 465 lbs, am of too large of carriage to be allowed to sit in your football stadium. I payed face value for a ticket in the "horseshoe" of Ross-Ade stadium and was told that I had to leave my seat as I was taking up too much space after the first quarter and spent the rest of the game listening to it from a bench outside the access to section 115 on the concourse. I have now attended football games in EVERY Big Ten Conference stadium, and must say this is the worst treatment I have EVER been subjected to.  So I guess I would like to thank all involved, especially the worthless employees of Andy Frain Services for truly making me hate Purdue University, and Purdue football.  Now the upshot, for those of you who believe in the eastern belief of Kharma, I feel it was served by Robbie Hummel's injury, so in closing I say enjoy the whooping that OSU is going to apply Saturday, and enjoy watching the University of Illinois win the Big 10 men's basketball title. I thought Purdue was an institute of intellect, understanding and compassion – now I know it's just slack-jawed, inbred hicks who do not adhere to the Americans with disabilities act of 1996.

Fan does not deserve "special treatment"

Dear Matt Lignell,
You are fat, not disabled – there is a difference. We should not have to give you special treatment because you can't take care of yourself. Also referring to everyone at Purdue as "slack-jawed, inbred hicks" is kind of funny because you don't seem to be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle yourself. And don't you ever speak ill of Robbie Hummel again, he is 50 times the man you will ever be (achievement wise, not size). That is all.

Every time this thread gets bumped I hold my breath and brace for some calamitous injury report. Good on the Illini for not being E'Twaan Moore's ankle or something broken.


EDIT: Illinois' white guys didn't do too well in the second half, dropping that stanza 47-37 which doesn't mean shit about shit.

Both of those will be good tests for the Illini. Purdue won't play a good team until sometime in mid-January, I think.

Looking forward to Texas (and possibly Pitt) in the Coaches vs. Asscancer Classic.

Mike Tisdale's still too skinny.

Illinois can be such a good team when Mike Davis decides to play with his head outside of his rectum instead of its usual position inserted in said cavity. The starting backcourt is the tits. McCamey is playing some amazingly efficient ball (53% on threes, 4 to 1 assist to turnover ratio), and Richardson is just an all around sound player.

Meyers Leonard is still a douche.

That (9) next to them means it was based solely on hate and not any inclination I had about either team's ability to win at home/away. So, you're right. But who the fuck put a quarter in Michigan? Fuck.

QuoteHere's a gem. Illinois and Oakland played the first 7:22 with a women's basketball. Can't make this up. They just switched the balls.

QuoteAccording to @marcusrjackson, who's sitting right here, Mike Tisdale was the first to notice it was a women's basketball. Good call, Tiz.

QuoteOakland coach Greg Kampe on learning it was a women's basketball: “I wanted to keep it. We were ahead (15-6). Just keep it out there.”

I'm finding it really hard to muster up enough give-a-shit about this loss or this Illinois team. I mean, I was excited when they beat UNC and Gonzaga but these games are just so boring. Maybe when conference starts that'll change. And random college basketball? Forget it. Worst shit on earth.

Even for somebody like myself who is very emotionally invested in a particular team, non-conference play against crap opponents is annoying as dick. I've watched just about every Purdue game so far because I'm just interested in seeing how well they develop, who will emerge as decent, how good their stars are playing and etc... But even if they beat these teams by double digits, it doesn't mean shit. And if they lose, OH NOEZ!!! TUMBLE IN TEH RANKINGZ OH HOW HUMMELIATING!!!!! LOLZ GO HOOSIERZZZZ CRRRRREEEEEEEEEAN MACHINE!!!! Seriously. Go kill yourself.

But the conference play really does it for me. All of it. I know there is something wrong with me. I never denied that.

Worse than all these random shitty bowl games whose tradition must be protected from a playoff system?  Yeah, you're probably right, the random college basketball is worse.

Even for somebody like myself who is very emotionally invested in a particular team, non-conference play against crap opponents is annoying as dick. I've watched just about every Purdue game so far because I'm just interested in seeing how well they develop, who will emerge as decent, how good their stars are playing and etc... But even if they beat these teams by double digits, it doesn't mean shit. And if they lose, OH NOEZ!!! TUMBLE IN TEH RANKINGZ OH HOW HUMMELIATING!!!!! LOLZ GO HOOSIERZZZZ CRRRRREEEEEEEEEAN MACHINE!!!! Seriously. Go kill yourself.

But the conference play really does it for me. All of it. I know there is something wrong with me. I never denied that.

That is the good thing about basketball, what with the rankings really not mattering at all. Because of the playoff. Playoffs are cool.

A college football playoff would not only be the Ballllllz, but it would circulate money at such an accelerated rate it would revive the North American economy.

Yeah, because the Beef O'Brady's bowl means absolutely nothing. But if the teams playing in it could possibly win out and make it to the title? Exciting. Although that's far deeper than any playoff I want. I'm fine with the current BCS Bowls becoming playoff games and the top two teams getting a bye. That's the top ten teams in the country. Good enough for me.

I'm fine with the BCS doing whatever the fuck it wants and all college football talk getting typed into the CollegeFootball threads instead of here. I'm even ok with people only typing that they hate college basketball here if that's what it takes.

Rushing the court/field is tired and old and should be restricted to upsets over top 5 teams or championships. Back in 2007 while Iowa was stuck in their mid-Ferentz era rut, they charged the field after a win over Illinois, who I think was at #13 or so at the time, and after a win over an unranked Michigan State team simply because the game lasted a really long time and went into multiple overtimes. It's annoying and it makes them all look like Yellons who just want to be part of history.

If I were in attendance when they: 1.) Clinched a trip to the Final Four. 2.) Won the whole sumbitch, I'd get my ass out there. Otherwise, no way.


Full Disclosure: When IUPUI won the Mid-Con Tournament Title and punched their first and only ticket to the Dance, I was courtside taking pictures. I ran out on the court with my camera, expecting our fans (both of them) to rush the court. I was happy, I was smiling, I was high-fiving players and then I realized I was the only non-player or coach out there. I quickly got all serious and took a bunch of photos.

It was not a great moment in my life. So when I see anyone doing such a thing for much dumber moments than my dumb ass got caught up in, I get a bit asshurt.

It garnered many a lol at both Hunter and Crenshaw's expense. And by many, I mean at least seven.

If I were in attendance when they: 1.) Clinched a trip to the Final Four. 2.) Won the whole sumbitch, I'd get my ass out there. Otherwise, no way.


Full Disclosure: When IUPUI won the Mid-Con Tournament Title and punched their first and only ticket to the Dance, I was courtside taking pictures. I ran out on the court with my camera, expecting our fans (both of them) to rush the court. I was happy, I was smiling, I was high-fiving players and then I realized I was the only non-player or coach out there. I quickly got all serious and took a bunch of photos.

It was not a great moment in my life. So when I see anyone doing such a thing for much dumber moments than my dumb ass got caught up in, I get a bit asshurt.

Fuck Matt Crenshaw.

He was like 36 years old when he sank the dagger to beat Valpo. I can't believe he's not in the NBA.

So...you and I have been in the same room before?  Or at least the same building?  Fascinating.

JuJu came up big at the end. Remember when him and Mike Davis were equally good a couple years ago? Me neither.

A couple of big games on Saturday. If Illinois and MSU can pull them out we've got ourselves a horse race.

I haven't even seen him try that move in four years and when he started it, I was like, "No." about 20 seconds later he slammed it and I had to press rewind about three times. Didn't need slow-mo though. That was a bonus.  

I think he'll be a serviceable guy off the bench at the next level. Whoever takes him is going to be my favorite team, I've decided. Unless it's the Lakers. Cuz that's just geigh.

Fire Bruce?

Yes. But, before that happens, Illinois would have to fire Ron Guenther (The Athletic Director) first. He won't fire Weber.

Thanks for explaining who Ron Guenther is.  Who is this "Weber" though?

Bruce Weber. Coach of Illinois.

JaJa is good though. Have they published a story in the Purdue newsletter about why his name is spelled so retardedly?

Chad?

Upon further review it looks like I'm the retard. For some reason I was thinking it was spelled JaJaun. JaJuan isn't so bad. It's got a certain zing to it.

If it's pronounced wuh-wawn, I approve.

It's wa-HAWN Yawnson. And he just dunked on your favorite team from the freethrow line again. Nerds. You know you're slow when this guy is crossing you over and throwing it down on you. I haven't even seen him try that move in four years and when he started it, I was like, "No." about 20 seconds later he slammed it and I had to press rewind about three times. Didn't need slow-mo though. That was a bonus.  

I think he'll be a serviceable guy off the bench at the next level. Whoever takes him is going to be my favorite team, I've decided. Unless it's the Lakers. Cuz that's just geigh.

Some people really like him, but I just don't know how he gets his game off. I don't think his post game will transfer, so you're looking at a 6-10 jump shooter who will have a hard time guarding any positions in our league. He strikes me as a combination of Marcus Camby and Hakim Warrick. I'd say he's on the bubble for the first round. I think he makes the league, but he won't get a lot of scratch.

I kind of agree with all of that but if he's a combination of Camby and Warrick, doesn't that mean he could actually defend pretty well? And I have no idea what Warrick does from the perimeter but Camby couldn't shoot from outside two feet, let alone 20. That's just doesn't make one bit of sense.

Camby just plays inside and Warrick plays mostly from the perimeter, a bit of a tweener who only really flourishes when everyone else is bad.

So I assume a combo of the two would pretty much just shoot from about 10 feet out.

Sounds kind of Phil Rogerish. Because Johnson is good from 20 feet. If he can get stronger and defend the 4, there are about 40 NBA teams that could find a roster spot for him.

Quote from: PANK! on March 12, 2011, 11:12:10 AM
Do not fuck with Tom Izzo in March.

QuoteIllinois (9)
Best Case: Unsatisfying, underachieving season takes a turn at the 11th hour, when a team led in scoring by three seniors finally finds its sense of urgency. Demetri McCamey racks up 20 points and 10 assists against UNLV. Then, in the Jilted Fan Base Jihad Game against Bill Self and Kansas, coach Bruce Weber devises a brilliant game plan to neutralize the Morris twins and the Illini score their biggest win since 2005. They then defeat Louisville to reach the final eight before losing to Notre Dame. Weber is freshly appreciated by Illinois fans. As an added bonus, coach Bruce Pearl and Tennessee are routed in their first game and Pearl is given a one-year show-cause penalty.

Worst Case: Unsatisfying, underachieving season continues on same dismal path for 40 more minutes, when senior-led team loses ugly to UNLV -- coached by another former Illinois boss, Lon Kruger. Illini go 6½ minutes without scoring in the middle of the second half to blow an eight-point lead and lose by two when 7-foot-1 Mike Tisdale turns a low-post catch into a fadeaway 18-footer that misses at the buzzer. Tired of looking at the skinny upper bodies of Tisdale, Bill Cole and Mike Davis, and tired of listening to fans call for his job, Weber at least changes strength coaches. Meanwhile, Self wins another title and Pearl goes to the Final Four.

QuotePurdue (3)
Best Case: This was supposed to be a special season, and despite the roadblocks it ends that way. Losing Robbie Hummel didn't derail the Boilermakers, and neither do consecutive bad losses to Iowa and Michigan State to end the season. This is a veteran team that had its eyes on the Big Dance all along, and it's ready to show it. Purdue grabs Saint Peter's by the throat from the opening tip, beats fatigued USC in its second game, then takes down Notre Dame in a northwest Indiana battle relocated to San Antonio. From there, Purdue beats Louisville in the regional final, reaching its first Final Four since 1980. Stellar seniors JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore get enough help from their supporting cast. Boilers lose to Pittsburgh in Houston, but know they maximized their ability. And maximized the misery of Indiana fans everywhere.

Worst Case: Season that began badly ends that way, too. Those stumbles against the Hawkeyes and Spartans weren't a blip, they were flashing warning lights. Johnson and Moore can't get good help, and the Saint Peter's defense tilts heavily to stopping them. Peacocks pull off the biggest of all 2011 early-round shockers on a banked-in 3 at the buzzer. Four years of big dreams end in an opening-game nightmare. Former coach Gene Keady gets to the Final Four as an assistant coach at St. John's, saying he had to get away from West Lafayette, Ind., to finally reach the last weekend of the season. In-state neighbor Notre Dame makes the Final Four as well. Indiana fans point at the Assembly Hall rafters and invite the Boilermakers to compare banners.

Quote from: BC on March 18, 2011, 07:23:11 PM
Well, one sentence down for the Illinois best case scenario, as Tennessee was beyond routed this afternoon...

All indications are that Weber's job is safe and he'll get next year. Beyond that? That's a pretty big question at this point.

Quote from: Slaky on March 18, 2011, 09:01:56 PM
Jesus - Illinois just blew the doors off of UNLV in the first half. Did not see that coming. However, BC was dead on in his pre-game prediction that there would be points scored in the first half and someone would be leading.

Quote from: BC on March 21, 2011, 07:39:27 AM
I would submit that the Illini weren't bad, but rather horribly inconsistent. They had moments where they played excellent basketball against good teams (The North Carolina and Gonzaga games, the first half of both Purdue games, the first half of the home game against Ohio State), but then would follow those up with moments of truly bad basketball.

To me, that points at the coach... Both in his inability to bring in guys that would be more consistent, and in his inability to get the team to win games even when they were inconsistent.

Hummel is a little bitch.  Crying on the sidelines like a girl with feelings.

The Illini looked awesome up until they didn't.  They're just not good enough to play with #1 seed teams.  Their best athletes are like the 7th men on a team like Kansas.  Did that Richmond kid make the trip to the game?

He was on the bench in warmups.

I will say, to BC's point, that it seems like every year it's all about getting rid of these awful seniors. Well, these guys were Bruce's from the beginning. He had four years to turn these guys into competent, watchable basketball players. While McCamey was good at times he's not an elite player. Davis and Tisdale are absolute garbage. If I was that tall and couldn't find my way into the paint because an average point guard could kick the shit out of me, I'd hang myself.

What a lame team.

Painter to Missouri, Weber to Purdue, Stevens Smart to Illinois. It's gotta hai, man.

Quote from: Internet Apex on March 29, 2011, 10:03:48 AM
What TJ Brown said, basically. A move to Missouri doesn't make any sense. But using them to get a raise from Purdue makes perfect sense. Purdue issued a statement today saying they're making Painter an offer to stay.

Some interesting speculation and reasoning here:

While I do not understand Lafayette's newspaper convention of changing font sizes for no apparent reason, the column was logical.

The main thing is Cuonzo Martin would have held out fort the Purdue jorb, unless, of course, he knows Purdue would never hire him because they have never had a black men's basketball coach before nor a coach named Cuonzo.

Seriously, this drama will be over next week, Painter will be made coach for life, especially when they rededicate the arena Apex never has set foot in as "Painter Hardwood on Keady Court at Mackey Arena, sponsored by Roundup Pesticide^TM.

If you don't like Bernie FAIL and the thought of a bunch of toothless Cardinal fans weeping over being stood up at the altar, I don't know what's wrong with you. Yay Matt Painter. Boiler up!

Great kid. Illinois will miss his leadership qualities. If he can duplicate his dominating 7 pts a game at the pro level, he's going to be special.

One might suggest that Richmond's history said that this kid was trouble coming in and Weber should have never had him in the program.

Happy Joe's was THE spot for kid's birthday parties in Galesburg.  [some yeti joke]

Range was awesome.  He should absolutely be getting like 20 minutes a game off some mediocre NBA team's bench right now, but he had to go and get fat and stop playing.  Probably too much Happy Joe's.

Happy Joe's fucking sucks and it's overpriced. It's still THE spot for kid's birthday parties in the Quad Cities and it's still mediocre at best. Except for the taco pizza.
