If you hire Gruden it is just for the publicity and not what is best for the program. I don't think he would be able to recruit with his racist emails

Gruden would instantly recruit better than any coach in the history of IUFB. And you’re crazy if you think he wouldn’t.

Galloway is starting, I’d put money on it

We need to come out and punch them in the mouth. We are Indiana freaking University. Play with intensity, show them that they are not on our level, don't be bashful shooting the 3, and I think we'll have no issues.

Best part of tonight was Rutgers missing. I fist pumped and stood up when I caught it.

Don’t care about the tournament. I want Rutgers to lose and miss the NCAA tournament. Screw them and their high school gym. Get out the big ten. Don’t belong and never will.

Watched sectional basketball tonight. Had a sinking feeling that we were going to lose all night. Had no reception but heard we were down bad. Honestly glad I didn’t waste the time.

To beat them with TJD sitting out large portions of the game and only scoring 10…. Insane. I’m gonna log off here though. Gotta go to Purdue’s rivals board to read and enjoy their tears.

Watching Rutger play their trademarked grind it out, hideous style of basketball and only score 42 points while losing to a mediocre Michigan team is actually pretty beautiful.

Should I be rooting for Rutger or Michigan? Honestly happy for either to lose. Can’t stand Juwan and I can’t stand Rutger either. Maybe root for a sinkhole at center court I guess.

We need Kopp to start playing more selfishly. Unless he’s passing for a wide open dunk, he should not be passing up a good look from 3. Same for Galloway.

First things first, we win that game going away if we had not gotten into our own heads in the first half. Completely sloppy and disjointed. 
 

But the league should really dump Larry Scirotto. I mean the things that he was fired for from the police department where he was chief are not insignificant. He is absolutely consistently terrible. Enough is enough. Get rid of him. You can not convince me that there are not better options out there.

TJD looked absolutely beat. Can’t count on Race currently, which means that Reneau HAS to start playing without fouling. If I’m Woody I’d consider not playing the two together as much. Even getting TJD 5-8 minutes on the bench will make a big difference in his legs going forward.

That being said, massive massive win. Yes, it was ugly. But it’s a road win in the Big Ten against a desperate team.

P.S. Juwan Howard stinks. Curious how long of a leash he gets there, because it does not look promising for them after Dickinson leaves.

Haven’t posted in a while.

I have an admittedly irrational hatred for Rutgers. They shouldn’t be in the Big Ten. They don’t fit in, and never will. Piscataway is a dump. I really, really, really want to beat them by 25. I wish Piekell would get hired somewhere else already.

Should be cleared up by Friday?

No. That’s just his initial hearing where his attorney will make an appearance or he will be assigned a public defender if he can’t afford legal representation.

Here is my take:

Johnson made a bad decision initially and thought he might be able to get away with it by evading the police. He quickly rethought this bad decision and pulled over and stopped. By the book, he 100% absolutely committed resisting law enforcement... but given these facts he will have an easier time trying to get his case plead down/reduced. It was a stupid decision. It was also very stupid to try to get someone else to take the fall for it. I don't know what the right answer is for how IU Athletics should handle it.

I would be beyond shocked if XJ was ever convicted of a felony. Most likely he will plead guilty to the reckless driving and the F6 RLE will be dismissed/reduced. He will do some classes/probation/pay some fines etc. This is Monroe County after all, not Greene, Owen, or Lawrence. People who are charged with far more serious crimes end up not even doing prison time...

Straying off topic here, but for example, a man killed his girlfriends 2 month old son in 2019 here and did a few years in jail as his case went through the process. He ended up pleading guilty to some lesser charges and will do the rest of his sentence on home detention. This is par for the course. https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/crime/2022/01/19/bloomington-infant-murder-case-charges-could-be-reduced-to-neglect-for-dakota-king/6561968001/

It wouldn’t surprise me if what happened was he was speeding and the “resisting” was something like them asking X to get out of the car, allowing them to search the vehicle without any cause, etc. Cops HATE when civilians know their rights and won’t just blindly let them do whatever they want to the civilian out of fear of the law being on the cop’s side. 

My freshman year got pulled over since we were the only ones out on this road. Cop automatically assumed it was drunk driving, absolutely harassed the driver and made him take a field sobriety test. We were literally just lost and trying to find fast food, so yes, cops can absolutely make something out of nothing. 

Lot of things in this post that are blatantly false. Cops don’t hate when citizens know their rights. In fact, most cops encourage it. What cops hate is citizens who think they know their rights and actually don’t at all, which unfortunately is a large portion of society. 

Secondly, Police can never force someone to take a field sobriety test or breathalyze. Cops can, if a judge grants probable cause, get a search warrant for your blood which is obtained using reasonable force. But the cops can’t make you take the tests. It’s generally a good idea to submit to a chemical test though, since in Indiana we follow “implied consent” which essentially states that as a condition of operating a motor vehicle you impliedly consent to a chemical test and failure to do so will often result in a loss of your license.

100% these are coming from the same IP address

Anyone care to give me the TLDR of the last 20 pages or so?

A lot of ink being spilled about why this happened, and I imagine like usual some of this stuff is complete BS, some is true, and plenty isn’t even being reported. I love Fife and hope he gets a chance to come back to IU someday…

Disappointing but not at all surprising result.

This team was:

A. Never going to probably go beyond the S16.

B. Due to burn out sooner than later. This team has been living on the edge physically for a week and emotionally for probably the last month. It’s not surprising that when it all kind of fell apart it fell fast and hard.

Proud of the team and of our coach.

Just gave a hot team a giant chip on their shoulder and a home game in Dayton. Look out Wyoming, you’re f*****!

Bracket Matrix has us in 97 of 142 brackets. I’m guessing a large number of the other 45 haven’t been updated since we won.

Palm.....Still......Has......Us........Out.......

I don't know whether to LOL, SMH, or tell him to STFU.

Kind of actually respect this move by Palm. I think I’d be tempted to do the same to Purdue if I were in his spot. He’s an idiot, but at least he stands by his principles.
