“Newly appointed Secretary of Transportation denounces twenty dollar per bag surcharge instituted by United Airlines and sets out for his Indianapolis to Vancouver trek via other means.”
Now, yes, he creeps me out, and he looks like that guy on Office--A LOT--
but I must admit that I give him props for IU
Don't Really Know Where The Rancor Comes From For This Guy
….maybe is was the literal “Dagger” that they laid on us in that loss at Freedom Hall about four or five years ago. Wade was still with them. The player who did it was none too cool.
That said, “Methinks thou dost protest too much” is appropriate here. And I’m with you guys, Frank and Jerb, too, that sometime, and sometime real soon, he’ll be kickin’ ass in the Big Ten.
I’ve left “The Office” behind, Frank. Seems a lot of times by the time everybody catches up, the best days of the show are in the rear view mirror.
But there’s Pam. There’s always that dreadfully sweet, Pam.
Mercy.
Maybe, just maybe
it was the accusing Ellis Myles of faking when he tore his ACL. Or the verbal altercations with fans.
Guy is a complete asshole.

thats what did it for me
Ellis writhing in agony on the ground and he has the friggin nerve to say he was faking it to get out of shooting free throws.

I remember the play, Twist,
but didn’t hear and/or remember Crean accusing Myles of faking it. Hey, I didn’t know. What did he have to say when he was confronted about it? I’d like to read about it.
Good luck tonight, man. I guess you’ll root for Marquette.
If they win, does that mean, now get ready…..that…..we…….ahem, “control our own destiny?”
yeah
last year when dominic james twisted his ankle in freedom hall and the crowd got real quiet, i just started yelling “he’s faking it! he’s faking it” right at tom. not sure if he heard me, but the revenge felt good. problem was, most people sitting around me didn’t know the story, so they thought i was being a real class act.
Do you think...
he regrets somewhat leaving MU for this year’s IU squad?
He won't regret it next year...
When Marquette loses Matthes, McNeal and James…. and IU gets that good recruiting class in.
I'll always loathe this guy
for standing on the sideline screaming “he’s faking, he’s faking, get his ass off the court…” while Ellis Myles was in pain under the basket. The injury was serious and this tight-ass turd was busy prissing and prancing and drawing attention to himself. He can coach, sure. Lots of people can. And lots of good coaches aren’t assholes. Crean’s an asshole, now and forevermore.

"does that mean, now get ready…..that…..we…….ahem, "control our own destiny?"
Oh, great. Now we’re going to have an existential basketball thread. Or to paraphrase Isiah Berlin: Is it better to live knowing the shackles we’ve formed for ourselves in life (such as a difficulty against the man-to-man or a streaky shooting touch), or is it preferable to wander the earth aimlessly in a freedom we don’t fully comprehend (but are excited by, since it comes in the form of a full-court press.)
I’m pondering.

Beautiful
Now you’ve got ME smiling.
Not nearly as existential as Dean Smith’s pre 40 second clock (where while employing a hard freeze, some of the players would ACTUALLY lie down on the court, like a 1960’s Antonioni flick ) slow down tactics, but more akin to neo Sartre bard, Lord Tennyson, who exclaimed while watching Terrence Williams drive toward the hoop in a candle lit Scottish gym: “It is better to have double clutched and scored; than never to have clutched at all.”
But I think that is what you were trying to say.
