He'd look a lot worse if he shook everyone's hand and ignored Gordon. This is a kid that lied to him for months, I don't blame him for having some bad feelings towards him. I'd rather he be the better man, but I can see where he's coming from. Especially after how painful these 2 losses to IU have been.

No. There should be no judgment involved. A foul is a foul is a foul. If the whistle goes in the pocket for the last minute, then it goes in for both teams. Gordon thwacked Pruitt. So, I ask you, did Pruitt foul White? (I do disagree with the call on Ellis at the end of regulation. That was a crappy call.) In fact, I'd say that Gordon's foul was quite smart since Illinois shoots free throws about as well as my dead great-grandmother. Pruitt, on the other hand, stupidly hacked DJ White when there was about zero chance of him making the shot. That's a dumb foul and if Illinois isn't at home, that probably gets called. You won't get any argument that it was a colossally stupid play by Pruitt. Seriously? We need to get a hand in the face of a center as he shoots from 3/4 court??? I'd be fine if things were called strictly to the letter of the law, but you know that's not how things are done. The new rule seems to be if it had an adverse effect, you blow the whistle, otherwise you don't. In the game we lost to Arizona earlier in the year, Arizona got the ball tied with about 1 second left at around 3/4 court and called a timeout they didn't have. The ref ignored the timeout and let the clock run out. I wasn't on here pissing and moaning about it cause come on, it didn't have any effect on how that last second was played so why end it like that. In the same manner, DJ White was not hitting a 75 foot heave, so why end it like that? It's the way things are called now, and have been for the past 10 years. To expect that call is ridiculous.

Not going to scream, I agree to a point. They are 4-0 against UI, SIU, and Ill St though. So it looks silly for fans of those teams to contantly say how bad IU is. Why? I know SIU isn't that good this year. Illinois is terrible. But I have been very unimpressed with Indiana every time I watch them. It's not just Sampson. A lot of players on Indiana don't have great basketball IQ. To dumb down to Illinois' level is pretty sad. We outdumbed em in the end though!!! unguarded 10 second call from the chosen one??? HA!! We'll dribble it off our knee out of bounds!!

Yeah when IDKWTI hit Pruitt in the face as he went up to shoot. Definitely clean. Gimme a break. Where, pray tell, did I say it was clean? Please, oh please, I beg you, show me where I said that it was clean. (Keep looking... you won't find it since I didn't say that.) I prefer it if you didn't put words into my mouth. Hey, call the foul, by all means -- they certainly weren't shy about it SINCE THEY CALLED THE FOUL. But don't put the whistle in your pocket going the other way. Call it both ways. Pruitt fouled White in the act of shooting. It was as plain as day. You don't see the difference between calling a foul on a 2 foot layup and a 75 foot heave by a center?

IDKWTI = I don't know who that is. Deron Williams's response when asked about the guy who scored 1 point in the first half tonight.

You are seriously asking this? I realize what Gordon did was awful and stupid, but if you want to make someone pay, beat him on the court. What he did was classless. It was a hard bump, who cares? It's Lent and all but IDKWTI doesn't deserve any more turning of the other cheek. If I saw Daddy death threat one more time on my tv I was gonna hurl a brick through it. They don't show Jordan in the crowd as much as him. And he's ya know, an actual celebrity, in the game of basketball. DDT is just a pathetic hanger on who couldn't have a career of his own. I hope IDKWTI Culkins his ass sometime in the near future. Then maybe he can latch on to whoever that ugly little kid was he had at the game with him. (And yes, bitter Illini face)

Yeah when IDKWTI hit Pruitt in the face as he went up to shoot. Definitely clean. Gimme a break. IDKWTI banking in a 3 to tie the game. Just effin perfect. I'm gonna enjoy watching IU get booted 1st weekend. Tonight Demetri > IDWTI Shame Trent Meacham sucked and Shaun Pruitt was even more horrendous than usual at the line. IU won't win in Champaign for another 5 years.

Huh, thought that NU game was in Evanston. Yeah that woulda been really weird to chant it during a win against a horrible team.

I'm guessing being a KU fan you didn't need anything with IDKWTI to come up in order to think poorly of UI fans. I've seen enough of this story to know that Daddy death threat is an attention whore. I will concede it is plausible that he's bringing others to show support for him, but I did get a quote somewhere(peegs maybe?) about him saying that he hopes he doesn't wind up on sportscenter for having to take things into his own hands tonight. I mean come on old man. What are you going to do when this gravy train ends? Follow IDKWTI from city to city in the NBA doing his interviews for him, saying that the Raptors fans mumbled something racist about you?

I don't know what that means. I'm not worried about anything physical happening to dear ol dad. I doubt anything is said any worse than IU fans chanting f*** you refs at their last game.

Last I read (this morning) was that they weren't going to have extra security. Either way, why would he bring the whole family to this game? That's just asking for trouble. Or attention. Or to see their kid/relative play a collegiate basketball game. If only he could've went to school somewhere close to Indianpolis. Then they could've watched him in the comfort of his home arena. So they're supposed to skip a nearby road game because some douches in orange shirts can't handle the fact he didn't pick their school? C'mon. Everybody needs to get over this thing. Yes, UI got screwed. And that sucks. But to say the kid's family has no right to travel to see their kid play because of it is lame. I woudln't have said a peep if daddy death threat came by himself as he does to IDKWTI's home games. Loading up the van and taking the family to this game rather than any of the home games is slightly peculiar wouldn't you say?

Too calm in here. Gordon's dad is bringing the whole family along with extra security to the game for no apparent reason. You thought Earl Woods was bad.

I've been maintaining this from the beginning about Michael Vick. If he ran a [expletive]-fighting ring, nobody would have cared. When chickens have out lived their usefulness and let out into the wild they're still just chickens. When dogs do, they kill people.

What about Ugueth Urbina?

wsi? white sox interactive. It's a cesspool. I'd avoid it. southsiders can use the internet? wow. one at a time You can all go to hell.

I was kinda hoping it was gonna be some irate Brewer fan that blew this thread up. I'm disappointed.

SweetZombieJesus's was more of a Futurama reference. Which are always welcome.

Greg Paulus is a word that would get me suspended. And Kyle Singler is ugly.

Say it ain't so.

Like a cheap and healthy Joe Crede for mid-rotation starter. I'm not sure either of those exist anymore.

Bills Conlin and Plaschke. If we're gonna take the thread in this direction it'll match Roberts.

Yeah, but bhogg's kid's a better hitter than me.
