ESPN has LewJack playing. That can't be true. He was just ruled out indefinitely a week ago and there has been no coverage on the Lafayette paper about him coming back.

 

LewJack did not play. Purdue didn't look that bad. Completely manhandled St. Jo's in the 2nd half.

 

What is that trophy in your sig?

 

It's the 1932 National Championship trophy. The picture accompanied and article about how the team was driven to make the Final Four in Indy this season. Eyes on the prize.

 

That's just plain sad. I'm proud of the 32 NC and have mentioned it to friends before when they say we've never won one but I sure as hell wouldn't be using like this. It's not really something to brag about. It's cool and nice but doesn't mean much to any other fan base and most of the time I mention it they laugh.

We have a helms title. Doesn't mean jack to me.

Doesn't Kansas claim 5 championships due to Helms?

ND has a Helms title too (1924 I think). I'd rather have a real one.

Pretty sure everyone would agree with that. Fact is most top programs have a Helms title.

Yes they do, they even had them on their warmups at Midnight Madness.

Judging by what is in your signature, I would have a hard time saying anyone else's is "just plain sad".

Is it just me or has the officiating been terrible, even worse than normal, this year?

I don't know if it's been terrible, but there's been some whistle-happiness early so far that I've noticed. Mizzou's second exhibition had 53 fouls in a blow out game. FIFTY THREE.

What reincarnation of a poster that was banned are you to make that your second post?

Fun game between Purdue and Tennessee, too bad most the nation can't watch it. Purdue up 42-41 at the half.

[CubbieBum]

So the announcer in this Purdue/Tennessee game talks about a player for Tennessee named Goins. I think to myself Ball State had a Goins two years ago that was really good but left after his freshman year. They then show a close up of the guy and much to my amazement it is the same guy. Had no idea he was at Tennessee.

[CubbieBum]

I always forget how much I hate non-Big Ten reffing. Let them play. It's a contact sport.

[CubbieBum]

Wayyy too close for my comfort. I really don't think Purdue played all that great. They did well but not as well as they could do. The last in bounds was confusing. Hummel is one of the best FT shooters in the nation and you have him in bounds it to a freshman. WTF?

Yeah, Barlow should NOT have been the guy getting the ball there. Some poor coaching there.

Holy [expletive], Cully Payne just nailed a 70 footer to tie it up at half time against Texas.

[woodchip2153]

Iowa tied at half after they drain a 3/4 length shot at the buzzer!

Even being tied at half, I realize that there is a very, very small chance we win this game. But still...

 

 

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Five looks better than three to recruits.

That's assuming Zah-vee-A can count that high.

X is supposed to be a good student, I believe.

Ok, is that guy with the 0.0 GPA in high school gone?

LOL that was ridiculous.

 

We'll lose but that was encouraging. God we just have to work so hard to get a shot off. Texas is insanely deep, long and athletic.

[SouthSideRyan]

Payne gets screwed by yahoo as they call it a 42 foot jumper. I'm guessing that's the limit on distances they list.

[SouthSideRyan]

Iowa's not even lighting it up from 3, shooting 37%.

[MSG T]

Iowa with the lead!!!
