  1. That guy with the creepy orange alien avatar is going to be wet. He already is. Teamwork Oragne I think?
  2. Big write up on ESPN.com on how Indiana is in good with the Adams family. Mention how it is shady.
  3. Whatever he claimed it was proven to be false. Then instead of explaining it he banned the guy and deleted the thread. The guy who did it also posted on the Phog and sadly Nova couldn't delete threads there.
  4. I hate his schtick when he starts calling all player Mr. Well Mr. McCamey needs to work harder and Mr. Paul needs to do this. They have first names moran.
  5. It isn't like the average fan has any say in who they hire anyways. With Sampson I think most IU fans just hoped for the best and made themselves believe he would never break NCAA rules ever again. Not that I'm going to deny we have a large number of douchebags in our own fan base. I can barely stand to read any Indiana basketball message boards. Illinois scout board takes the cake for dbags. Mostly the mods. And right on cue, a 5 day ban for telling Nova he was being arrogant (following his standard, I'm [expletive] old so I know more than you) and challenging his contention that Bradley was an elite mid-major that just ran into a couple bad coaching hires. Were you around on that board when he banned the guy who proved he actually wasn't in the Navy like he claimed to be?
  6. Hendry has put together a hell of a team. He deserves another 5 years to get this right.
  7. He's a third generation superstar.
  8. Could the Bulls be players for Dwight Howard? And not have to gut their team in order to make it happen?
  9. I disagree. The Heat are the new Yankees. I'll always root against them now.
  10. My cousin was at Simpson's start yesterday also. Sat behind Oneri. Said their gun had him at 86 and 87. Gross.

  12. :hello: Well that is interesting. But I'll be honest, I don't care if Capo got Creaned or not. I just didn't think it was necessarily the only explanation since players who suck do tend to transfer sometimes for more playing time. It does happen. :P After 66 losses the last 3 seasons, Crean could cut half the damn roster for all I care if it meant having a team that could compete and have a winning record next season. That isn't suprising. You guy's were the fanbase that cheered on Bobby Knight.
  13. and we won't until we clean house in the front office
  14. Jim Hendry is so smart to keep Koyie Hill around.
  15. That was different. Cal is dirty. Crean is really tan.
  16. Because in order to win a title at some point we are probably gonna have to have a star. Teams are doing a better job of signing those type guys through their prime years. Thus it's gonna be harder for us to go out and buy one.
  17. well that's a very optimistic way of looking at things, considering that wells and cashner pitched only one game each and won them, so you're projecting a very small sample size over a very long season. nonetheless, i admire the mental gymnastics required to make it seem like the team with the fourth-worst run differential in baseball is a bad break or two away from being very good. I'm really hoping we hit on this draft pick, we can't afford to keep crapping out on top 10 picks. There's a HUGE middle ground. Again, producing useful everyday players would be a huge improvement. They don't to make the leap from cranking out mostly [expletive] to superstars to make very different, very better teams. I'm aware, but we really need to hit on a star at some point.

  19. Eh, I'm torn. I love the guy and want him to do well, but I'm getting more to the point that I'd prefer the Cubs just buy him out next season. [expletive], what a crappy feeling. It happens to every player at some point. He had a great few years for us.
  20. I should be more clear. At the upper levels those are the only two guys I really see helping within the next few years. The other guys maybe up and playing, but I doubt they will make large contributions.
  21. Wait, what? He's survived far, far worse than this one game. No I meant this season. He's also survived far worse than this season. It's gotten to the point that I expect his firing to finally happen out of the blue seemingly over nothing, like after a win streak. I gotta think last year was his freebie. If this keeps up I don't see how the Ricketts can keep him on. This team is bad and besides BJack and maybe McNutt there isn't a lot to be excited about in way of future help.

  23. How bad does it have to get for Hendry to be gone?
  24. he's around 100 pitches and the reds are a good offense? or did you want a stupid answer If only our manager could have seen this happening.
