Jim Harbaugh was introduced to the Stanford Club of Marin (which sounds like a group of rather smart aquariums) as Stanford's new head coach. An interesting choice, as Harbaugh has zero NCAA Division I coaching experience, but "doesn't lose at tiddlywinks," according to members of the club, which, coincidentally was holding a tiddlywinks tournament later that day. Harbaugh can be most recognizably remembered as the man who was better at not driving race cars than playing football (but not tiddlywinks...he seriously rocks at tiddlywinks, guys.) Maybe a football team named after a singular bird (and a pansy one at that) can embrace a coach from a team called the Toreros better than one named after a very noble young horse can.
(As the title suggests, I have no idea what i am talking about)
WOW. How about Roderick Wilmont and 9 3-pointers? Beating records held by people like Steve Alford? Impressive.
Speaking of Steve Alford, Iowa's NCAA tournament dreams are shot, after losing to the worst team in the Big Ten, Penn State.
But I digress.
Indiana lacked consistency in the second half as well, but at least looked better than they did in the first. You could say they were/(almost always are) "consistently inconsistent." I just hope that their tournament games look nothing like tonight, because we probably won't be playing Northwestern in the NCAA's. Roderick Wilmont was 11-18 with 27 points off of 3's. Amazing. We should surprise some people come tourney time, if we play like we don't have concrete blocks hanging from our ears. Okay. Texas and Texas A&M is on. Time to go.
The defense looks horrible. Northwestern is outrebounding IU on their side of the court big-time. Northwestern is only still in the game because we have done such a horrible job rebounding on both sides of the court. Coble has been given opportunities to break free under the basket and scored 9 points at the half.
The offense looks marginally good, on the other hand. When the hoosiers can get a man open for a three, IU has knocked down 7-15 from long distance. Roderick Wilmont looks really good from outside, and Armon Bassett is doing really well leading the team in Earl Calloway's place.
Maybe we'll see some Calloway rehabbing in the second half?
I'd Like to see in the second half: -DJ getting open under the basket, fighting for rebounds on both ends -Better defense, rebounding by the guards. -Shutting down Coble and not letting him get to the basket. -More rebounds. Rebounds. Rebounds.
no posts today... I woke up to excruciating pain in my hamstrings and am on vicodin right now.
I just want to let everyone know my dislike for The Fad called "Emo."
I have friends that consider themselves "emo" and I have questioned them numerous times about why they choose to follow this particular wavelength of thinking, and every answer I have ever recieved included the phrases "expressing myself," "dealing with my problems," and "you wouldn't understand." I've been accused in retaliation of being a "prep" or "jock."
It is not a fad that annoys me or makes me angry in any way, I just don't understand it. The "emos" all dress alike (from my point of view, and that of most Americans,) so how can you be "expressing yourself" if you dress just like the punk band you saw on MTV this morning? Secondly, almost all of the "emos" i know come from loving families with parents that treat their children with love and compassion. How can you justify acting a way that helps you "deal with your problems" when your only problems are feeding the dog and doing the dishes when you get home? Your parents never hit you (excepting corporal punishment, which I feel is right and when used responsibly helps more than hurts), they never kicked you out on the street, or unjustly punished you. You are just a teenager and you want to be different, which I completely understand, as I am still a teenager and still don't completely know who I am. One thing that I am sure of, though, is that cutting your wrists and trying to commit suicide are NOT cool or different, but just a half-assed way to try and deal with your imaginary problems.
How many Emo kids does it take to fix a lightbulb?
One to take the bulb out and a thousand to write about how the shattered pieces reflect their "broken" lives.
Well, here's one reason to buy a Zune (if you don't dance like Snoop Dogg in what I assume is a dark alley in a baaaad neighborhood...). Oh, who am I kidding, you should be shot just for buying a ZUNE
Announced today, IU's 2007 Football Schedule or as we call it here in Bloomington, "Wha? I knew that stadium did SOMETHING or other..."
9/1 Indiana State Fear the Mighty Sycamore! Woe to thee who...(cough cough)...Oh, who am I kidding? 9/8 at Western Michigan I remember this game last year, however vaguely so... 9/15 Akron There's only one good thing to come out of Akron, and they call him the King. (Okay, Callahan Brakes too.) 9/22 Illinois I might stay sober, just to boo Ron Zook and throw insults at him. 9/29 at Iowa Kirk Ferentz is like Paris Hilton. Lucked into the money. 10/6 Minnesota ...They have a good wrestling team, right? 10/13 at Michigan State Oh, boo. 10/20 Penn State Joe Paterno played football when the forward pass was strictly against the rules. 10/27 at Wisconsin Winning with Wisconsin is like getting into community college. Nobody really cares, and they know it's really easy. 11/3 Ball State 53 kids out of my senior class of ~250 go to Ball State. They really do think it's a party college. Shame, shame, shame. 11/10 at Northwestern Make friends now, because they will be your boss in 3 years. 11/17 Purdue Like a Cubs fan, "There's always next year..."
Hey Y'all (all one of ME). Welcome to Hoosier Hysteria.
First off, any good collegiate sports blog should include a mission statement. Attempting to write one, however, is usually the tough part. Instead of the lame and half-assed statement i came up with less than five minutes ago (and in the interest of time, for i have Spanish S-105 in 30 minutes), I will outline the main goals of this blog:
We will try to be:
1. Funny 2. For the Hoosiers, Irish, Colts, (and occasionally the Yankees) 3. Against the Evil Empire that bleeds Pale Yellow and Pansy-Blue. (U of Michigan for you on the west coast)
We will not be:
1. Funny 2. Just another stupid sports blog 3. Tossing completely untrue and shameless rumors around 4. I hope you're catching the sarcasm
