why couldn't cancer have taken dan dakich instead of stuart scott

I live in Indianapolis and have to hear his lovely radio show and opinions all the time, I agree. He has a lunchtime radio show and spends the whole time bashing people who dare to insult him on twitter, and always falls back to the dumb rube "i dunno" defense when people call him on his dumb poo poo.

I love how they are examining this replay in depth, which clearly shows him fouling the poo poo out of Scott the entire way. Also it's off his foot.

purdue is down 1 to wisconsin in madison. unbelievably, wisconsin went the entire first half without a starter getting a single foul. don't think i've ever seen that before in my entire life, crazy.

So is Purdue just trying to troll the B1G by losing to terrible teams and beating good ones randomly?

purdue is really young and inconsistent and they are still trying to put it together, so that means they sometimes look idiotic and lose to poo poo teams but when they are playing well they look quite good and very different from last year.

i'm hoping they continue to put it together this big10 season because i like watching good basketball

I wouldn't mind them being good again, but haven't had a chance to see them play yet or really kept up with their recruiting.

Well Purdue fought well, but can't beat out the B1G motto "On the Road? Get hosed". At least they are consistent.

Wisky: 27

Yeah pretty passive and emotionless game for OSU, which has happened a few times now this season. They don't believe they can win and why should they, when Sam Thompson has to play Center because everyone over 6'7 is poo poo. They really just have nothing they can do if Russell isn't hitting his shots.

Can any Michigan fans here confirm my suspicion that this game is pretty much your own personal hell?

Michigan-OSU basketball games don't matter as much since we play 2-3 times a year, especially a regular season game.

I am happy to see OSU playing man to man, rebounding and energy is definitely up. A few mistakes here and there but I would rather that than play a weak rear end zone.

Terrible interior defense and big 10 road games are a horrible combination that results in the 2nd half of games being an hour of watching opposing big men shoot free throws. What a waste of what will probably be Russell's only season.

Yeah, preventing a last second three by fouling is lame as hell, but creating a rule around it would be difficult. Something like fouling a team on their half of the court past the 3 point line, under 1 minute, is 3 shots. Or something like that.
