IUFLA

I wonder how they can substantiate "Living Up to the Hype" with Wisconsin and Iowa whose wins have come against such powerhouses as North Carolina Central, Southern, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois, Arkansas Pine Bluff and Green Bay?

I was going to post that, but got caught up in the basketball threads! Thanks! I read that Crosby and Bowie practiced for 10 minutes and then nailed the first take... Musical geniuses don't recognize time boundaries...

Every time I think of cats and fish I think of this Gary Larson classic...

No, he had 3 in 73 games. But apparently Musselman has given the green light. Won't be long before something happens there... jealousy will rear it's ugly head.

Anybody care to venture a guess as to how many games Justin got to shoot 15 or more shots in a game while at IU?

Hey, I've seen that stat line somewhere before...😯

The Sting

No, but I have heard Pat Boone sing, "Enter Sandman." I wonder if that's what he sings in that walk-in tub?

I wish "The Whinin Illini" had gotten beat by 60...

I don't follow the NBA but just saw Westbrlook to Washington for Wall and a 1st rounder

West Virginia up on the Zags. Huggy can coach...

BYU

The Natural! Barbara Hershey, after getting scorned by Norman Dale, shoots a baseball player...

So serious guess...He at one time worked as a grave or outhouse hole digger?

I don't know, but my thought over the years was that he had a raging case of jock rot at one time or another...

Damn the bad luck! Changed it...

And that's one of the reasons why IU is a more difficult job than many of the Blueblood schools, particularly Kentucky and Kansas. There's a faction within our fanbase that won't stand for the "win at all cost" mentality. And I'm sure that's a residual effect of the Bob Knight years good or bad (good in my book). As I said, winning might win over some, but not everyone by a long shot. I'm a "leopards never change their spots" kind of guy. I thought the Sampson hire was a bad decision from the get-go, especially with the NCAA already nipping at his heals at Oklahoma. Maybe he would have turned over a new leaf, but color me skeptical. He's in a better place for him now simply because U of H has been overlooking things for decades. Now, I know the infractions at IU were insignificant, but I, personally, can't overlook the drug use and flaunting of academic standards. And I think a lot of IU fans are in that camp. I was glad when Dakich cleaned house. I was at the game at Northwestern when Jamarcus Ellis wouldn't even stand with the team in the huddle. I was hoping Dakich would order him off the court right then and there...

Because I saw the kids Sampson recruited and I just don't think Cody, an avowed Christian who took the academics seriously (and DID eventually graduate from IU) would have fit in with that group...

All due respect, I don't understand the point you're making here... If it's that the Zellers would overlook cheating in a program during one of the 3 kids recruitment, I think you'd have a whole lot of people who know the family personally that would argue that point...

I guess we'll see...He had some talent last year too and went 18-13 9-9 and was probably going to miss the tournament. My bigger point was on such a short resume, there's no way our fans should be calling for him to replace CAM.

Yeah, Oakland lost, but they kinda showed some of Michigan's warts...Livers looked out of shape, and their defense isn't very good at staying in front of the ball... I'll say one thing though...the Dickinson kid at 7'1" can play in the post...Good inside post moves, good passer, and an at least adequate defender for a freshman.

I know Kelvin Sampson can coach basketball. I just don't think he would have put the emphasis on academics and integrity that IU fans would like. Of course, winning would have won some over, but not everyone. I just can't see a kid like Cody Zeller playing for him. We talk about team chemistry all the time. I'm just not sure it would have worked long term. Could be wrong though...but I am glad he's gone.

Jalen Moore (Cloverdale, In) is having a game against the Wolverines...

I know there were a few people on this board that wanted to ditch Archie after 2019 for him. And I wouldn't trade Archie for him ..

Took the words right out of my mouth, Scottie old boy...
