[Ramp]

Indiana is close to being "back"

I am for this

[Hugg]

Ohio State plays #6 Duke, #10 Florida and #13 Kansas in non-conference. I am very excite.

I gon try to get tickets to the Duke game.

[Fritz]

You'll see JJ there.

[Chewford]

I have no idea why we're #10 but I like it.

[Fritz]

Patric Young is good enough on his own for this team to be top-25. We've had some good recruiting classes as well. Wilbekin should be better and hopefully Boynton and Walker can play well again this year. Casey Prather will have to step up and fill the shoes of Tyus.

Team is plenty talented to do some good stuff.

[MiamiHomer]

UM was picked to finish 5th in the ACC. I just want to see my team in the tournament.

[DropkickAlex]

Florida has the best back court in the nation.

[Hugg]

Duke game sold out in 20 minutes. Oh well.

I gon go watch them destroy North Florida up close.

[Beef]

It's on now. On the ESPNU

[Bobbob1313]

Kentucky up 74-13 at halftime.

[Ramp]

God's Gift!

[Beef]

The Kentucky game is not real

[Namaste]

We are muy excite

[MiamiHomer]

Nov. 07, 2011 6:13 p.m. - by Shawn Krest - Pro game vs. UNC scheduled for Nov. 17
The long-rumored exhibition game between former Duke and UNC players has been scheduled for Nov. 17. The game is being called the first annual Kings of Tobacco Road game and will take place at North Carolina Central University, in Durham. Former Duke stars Kyrie Irving , Nolan Smith, Corey Maggette, Chris Duhon and Elton Brand are expected to play. Devils RapidReports

[Ramp]

Indiana made 5 signings for 2012 today. Top 5 class in the country, could be top 1 by a mile if Gary Harris commits but who knows what he's doing at this point.
--------------------
the final four for Harris are IU, Purdue, UK and Michigan State

as long as it's not Purdue, I can deal

[Ramp]

he just announced, MSU

[MiamiHomer]

There is a guy on St. John's named God'sgift.

/this could be old news but the first I see of this

[Ramp]

they have other cool names too

[MiamiHomer]

Your earlier post now makes sense to me.
--------------------
they have other cool names too

Got to be part of their recruitment criteria.

[TealMonster08]

Duke game sold out in 20 minutes. Oh well.

I gon go watch them destroy North Florida up close.

We gon win!
And by win, I mean lose by 40.

[Ramp]

even though it's just against Stony Brook, I'm beyond pumped for the return of Indiana basketball

it's been a rough 3 years, but we're close to officially being back.... pumped

[MiamiHomer]

This is seriously the coolest stage for a college basketball game I'm seeing on ESPN right now.

[Hugg]

Very much so.

[Blackout Pact]

On an unrelated note, Colorado had a top 25 recruiting class this year.

[Valid]

Belmont giving Duke a fight here.

[Fritz]

It would be fun to see JJ having a meltdown.

[Valid]

Fuck Dawkins.

[Hugg]

Damn you Andre Dawkins
--------------------
77-76 final, damn
--------------------
Army vs. Air Force in a tight one on CBS Sports Net right now.

Citadel vs. VMI follows, I had no idea they were doing an All-Military Tournament.

Navy's not in it.

[Blackout Pact]

That was huge clutch shot by Dawkins. damn.

[Beef]

We beat dim by lots. The silly walkons made silly walkon turnovers and fouled people shooting threes so UCF reached 50

[Bobbob1313]

I'm gonna watch an FIU game soon. I'm not happy about this.

[Ramp]

Indiana has looked great in 2 games so far.

Cody Zeller is the real deal.

/tryingnottogettoexcited

[Hugg]

Huggs vs. MetesChewieFritzMK7s tomorrow night

[Mainge]

Fuck you

[Metes]

Hugg

WGW

[dim]

We beat dim by lots. The silly walkons made silly walkon turnovers and fouled people shooting threes so UCF reached 50

We suck at free throws. Plus, we were missing our 5'7 PG, so we don't totally suck.

But yeah, we kinda suck.

[Fritz]

I'm sure Sullinger gon impose his will and single-handedly win it for Hugg.

[TealMonster08]

We (UNF) plays the MaingeMetesMK7FritzChewies on Thursday night in Gainesville.

WGL.

No Spoiler Alert necessary.

[Fritz]

We lost to Jacksonville last year so you never know.

[TealMonster08]

We beat Jacksonville last year...so by applying the transitive property...UNF was superior to the Gators last season.

/math'd.

But alas, tis a new year.

[Bobbob1313]

FIU beat George Mason. That's cool.

[Bobbob1313]

FIU 11-0 run, down by two to VaTech. That's cool.

[Beef]

I'm gonna watch an FIU game soon. I'm not happy about this.

That's cool

[Hugg]

Wait, I'm gonna miss the start of the OSU/Florida game because ESPN2 is showing Tennessee destroy the lady MHs?
--------------------
MH, the lady MHs are ranked 7th in the country.

Although they're losing by 16 to the #3 team, so I'm not sure why.

[Beef]

Maybe.

[Hugg]

The lady MHs coach just called a fucking timeout. You're down by 16 with 2 minutes left. FUCK YOU BITCH
--------------------
Oh, they moved the tipoff back so people won't miss the start of the first top 10 mens game of the year because of a womens game.

[MiamiHomer]

They are actually pretty good. (The Lady Canes)

[Hugg]

Exchange that just went on here:

"Oh god end this game!"
"There's only 24 seconds left."
"Who cares. It's womens basketball."
"(glare) They're important too!"

[Beef]

It takes Ohio State 9 seconds to get past midcourt. Typical Big 10 speed.

[Metes]

Glad to see we still can't score in the halfcourt

[Hugg]

Non-conference games for Big 10 can be very hard to watch sometimes. Like 70% of the fouls called in this game are not fouls for most of our season.

Both ways, not one team or the other.

[Metes]

Gators are always hard to watch

Unless you enjoy 3's flying off the iron
--------------------
Phew, thank god we cut away for this

[Hugg]

PUT THE GAME BACK ON!

FUCK COACH K!

FUCK YOU ESPN!

[Metes]

Ehe
--------------------
Nobody cares about this other than Duke fans

Glad this is also on ESPN1

[MiamiHomer]

I think it's really cool that he reached the mark but why the hell would you air it on ESPN/ESPN2 at the same time. How does that even make sense?

[Hugg]

I really don't care about this.

People who have ESPN2 have fucking ESPN. This is such shit.

[Metes]

ALERT THE INTERNET

DUKE BASKETBALL COMMANDS YOUR ATTENTION

[Hugg]

Fucking split screen it at least.

[MiamiHomer]

Can to go with two microphones for the special occasion.

[Hugg]

God, I hate Duke.

[Fritz]

I like Beal a lot. I also really like Young but he needs a lot of polish. Bummed we gon lose but I think this team will be ok.

[DropkickAlex]

Beal missed a few easy lay ups. We also turnover the bar a lot with some really dumb mistakes.

[Hugg]

we did it

[Ramp]

wtf is ESPN(Mag) HS?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v167/Ramp101/Screenshot2011-11-15at105141PM.png

I mean it's cool and all but really?

[Metes]

It looks like ephins

[Ramp]

no idea what ephins is

[Metes]

It's what you do to the ladies

[Ramp]

IU beat Evansville by 21 tonight.

We were just 4 point faves and we hadn't won an away game since January of 2010.

I am beyond giddy right now

[Hugg]

Very nice.

I'll know Indiana is really back when you're not excited you beat Evansville.

[Beef]

Hugg's right, that's when he will know.

[Hugg]

And I'm the poster of the month, so when I know is fucking important.

[Ramp]

If we were a bigger favorite and we won by 21, I wouldn't be.

But in the end, Hugg is right. It is amazing how much of a difference Cody Zeller is making. Makes me sad that Maurice Creek is missing out on all the fun, but maybe it's for the best.
--------------------
Also #9 Pitt lost at home to Long Beach State by 10

[Hugg]

Long Beach is pretty good aren't they?

[Ramp]

I dunno. Apparently

[Beef]

They are pretty good indeed.
--------------------
bobbob doesnt care though because they aren't in the NBA

[Madman81]

That Casper fella had himself quite a game

[Hugg]

I hope madman is referring to a guy named Casper and not a white player.

[Beef]

That'd be fun if Madman did that.

This time, he did not.

[Madman81]

As Beef said, I did not, although a black guy named Casper is just all around good fun on its own.

[Valid]

UPDATE: Bernie Fine has now been placed on administrative leave, according to CNY Central.

Syracuse police are investigating an allegation that longtime Syracuse basketball assistant Bernie Fine (right) molested a team ball boy over an extended period of time beginning in the 1980s, according to a Thursday night report from ESPN's Mark Schwarz and Arty Berko.

CBSSports.com left a message on Fine's cell seeking comment.

The message was not immediately returned.

The alleged victim is Bobby Davis, who is now 39. He told ESPN's Outside the Lines that Fine began molesting him in 1983, shortly before Davis entered seventh grade. Davis was a Syracuse ball boy from 1984 to 1990. He said the abuse occurred at Fine's home, at the Syracuse basketball facilities and on road trips. A second man, identified by ESPN only as "a relative of Davis," has said Fine also molested him around the same time.

Fine is in his 35th season at Syracuse.

Davis said he never informed Jim Boeheim of the abuse.

Outside the Lines -- as well as the Syracuse Post-Standard -- reported Thursday that it initially investigated Davis' claims in 2003 but decided against running the story because no additional alleged victims were willing to talk. But in recent days, according to the ESPN report, a second man -- inspired to finally talk because of the ongoing Penn State scandal -- contacted Outside the Lines with information alleging Fine had also molested him, which led to ESPN running the story.

Kevin Quinn, Syracuse's senior vice president for public affairs, issued a statement late Thursday on behalf of the school. It read: "In 2005, Syracuse University was contacted by an adult male who told us that he had reported to the Syracuse City Police that he had been subjected to inappropriate contact by an associate men's basketball coach. The alleged activity took place in the 1980's and 1990's. We were informed by the complainant that the Syracuse City Police had declined to pursue the matter because the statute of limitations had expired. On hearing of the allegations in 2005, the University immediately launched its own comprehensive investigation through its legal counsel. That nearly four-month long investigation included a number of interviews with people the complainant said would support his claims. All of those identified by the complainant denied any knowledge of wrongful conduct by the associate coach. The associate coach also vehemently denied the allegations. Syracuse University takes any allegation of this sort extremely seriously and has zero tolerance for abuse of any kind. If any evidence or corroboration of the allegations had surfaced, we would have terminated the associated coach and reported it to the police immediately. We understand that the Syracuse City Police has now reopened the case, and Syracuse University will cooperate fully. We are steadfastly committed ensuring that SU remains a safe place for every member of our campus community."

CBSSports.com reached a former Syracuse player by phone on Thursday.

Asked for comment, the former player said: "Sad to hear if it's true."

[Beef]

Good thing they added those last two lines to the article

[Fritz]

Gata beat the Count Bass Ds tonight.

[Hugg]

I goin to see OSU play them on Monday!

[Hugg]

Presbyterian 56, #20 Cincinnati 54

first win over a ranked team in school history

[TealMonster08]

Gata beat the Count Bass Ds tonight.

We did our best.
--------------------
I goin to see OSU play them on Monday!

WGW.

[Ramp]

Hoosiers go to 4-0 with a 29 point win over Savannah State

Cody Zeller went for 23

next game against Gardner Webb on Monday night (next game against a decent opponent is prob Butler on the 27th, but they might not be any good, so the ACC challenge against NC State will be the first real test)

[Ramp]

Memphis dude is silly, might not hurt them though
--------------------
Indiana's five straight wins to start the season, each by 20+ points has never happened in the history of the program. That's beyond mind-blowing, no matter who we've played.

[Hugg]

Ohio State just hit bobbob's magic 50 point mark. With 2:45 to go in the first half.

bobbob should become a VMI fan
--------------------
It's 57-44 at halftime.

[Beef]

You were able to use bobbob to tell us info that we didn't wanna know about. It was good.

[Hugg]

mmhmm

[Beef]

Are you gon watch the FSU game at 4:30 tomorrow?

[Hugg]

We'll see.

Is UMass any good this year?
--------------------
I shoulda said

maybe if I feel I need a nap

[Beef]

I was gon say the nap joke for you.

UMass beat BC by 30. But BC gon be this year's Auburn from last year

[Hugg]

Yawl scored 80 vs. South Alabammy

[Beef]

Yeah, we did it. They scored way less. You would loved watching that defense.

South Alabama went 0-24 from three. I think that's record bad

[Hugg]

Beef, we winned 107-74

[Beef]

Yeah you did

[Beef]

UCF beat UConn
--------------------
This Versus guy keeps calling FSU the Florida Seminoles.
--------------------
2-0 Harvard at the first TV timeout. No FGs. If Hugg woke up, he sleepin.
--------------------
Ehe, 2nd TV timeout.

5-0 Harvard

[Beef]

We could be 40 seconds from history
--------------------
Oh no, Harvard his a last second three. Tied at 14 at halftime. Ties the all-time low for combined points in the half. That three really blew it.

[Bobbob1313]

I just looked at the box score for that FSU-Harvard game. Man, that's just the best.

[Beef]

The box score doesn't show 2-34 combined on layups

[Bobbob1313]

You should make a joke about how I would watch it if it was NBA.

[Beef]

We all know it, bobs. We all know it.

Or if it was college football.

[Bobbob1313]

Game of the Century?

[Beef]

We gotta get Verne and Tim Brando airlifted to the Bahamas to tell us how awesome the 2nd half is

[dim]

Little late since I missed the game, but...

Hey UCONN, tell us how our ass tastes!

[Ramp]

Tim Abromaitis tore his ACL, he's donezo for the year

[TealMonster08]

Tim Abromaitis tore his ACL, he's donezo for the year

This is the worst news. He went from being largely unrecruited to our best player. NCAAs are very unlikely now, and also the Ramps are going to beat us probably now, which is good for him.

[Beef]

7-0 was insurmountable. We did not do it.

[Ramp]

This is the worst news. He went from being largely unrecruited to our best player. NCAAs are very unlikely now, and also the Ramps are going to beat us probably now, which is good for him.

I mean... it might not end up being a good win, if we even win to begin with

[Hugg]

bobbob won't be posting in here anymore guys

adjust accordingly

[Beef]

He's too busy rooting for this guy doing this to MH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph7qFvAIRCk

[TealMonster08]

I mean... it might not end up being a good win, if we even win to begin with

It will probably end up helping us in the long run, only because we are super young and athletic (for a Notre Dame team) and now those guys can get more experience and shots, and maybe Brey will adjust the offense accordingly. Feel terribly for Abro though.

But ND-Indiana is a big game for both programs, and I think Indiana has a good chance to win it, although like you said it may not mean much on a tournament resume.

[Hugg]

(for a Notre Dame team) is code for they have a lot of white players

[Beef]

90 seconds played in the FSU-UConn game. 5 turnovers.

[TealMonster08]

(for a Notre Dame team) is code for they have a lot of white players

Hugg gets it.

[Hugg]

We used to too. White fellas and Euro fellas.

And then Matta got hired and that changed.

And we got good.
--------------------
Beef

[Hugg]

Beef, are you watching UNLV-UNC?

[Beef]

Nope, the local ABC news came on and it's hilarious. They are talking to a lady who is stuck on an Amtrak train but her phone is not working, so it sounds like she is being murdered by an iRobot. The trains are all either stopped or going real slow. The newslady was like, I'm being told that you are on a train and it's really dark. I wanted the lady on the phone to just say, yeah, it's fucking night time.

I'm watching now

[Hugg]

That's a better story than the guy who got hit by an Amtrak train while chasing his dog earlier today.

[Beef]

That's why it was the top story

[Hugg]

A cat would never lead you into the path of an incoming train.

[Beef]

Each of our cats needs a thread, just so Sandro doesn't forget that each of our cats is a cat

[Hugg]

I thought about starting a Seven Nation Army thread.

Tall Baron Davis committed an offensive foul.
--------------------
Beef, you missed when Jay Bilas said this Las Vegas Invitational game isn't a home game for UNLV because it's in a different arena.

[Beef]

Every thread is the Seven Nation Army thread

I went to warchant and found one awesome thread.

Question: What is that annoying song they keep playing? They play the same one at Auburn home games. What happened to UF's Jaws music?


Answer: It's a song by the White Stripes-Seven Nations Army

!!!!

[Hugg]

ESPN has the worst music.

[Sandroimbuto]

Each of our cats needs a thread, just so Sandro doesn't forget that each of our cats is a cat

I'm looking forward to following your cats adventures on the board. Can you also create a twitter for him? In case I miss something MH can post the twitter update in the thread.

[Beef]

Hugg, that guy that keeps making threes from the corner leaves his follow-thru in the air for a while.

It reminds me of when LeBron did that at the buzzer but missed the shot by four feet.

Except this guy keeps making his

[Hugg]

If there's not an overrated chant in a few minutes, I'm gon be very disappointed in UNLV fans.

[Beef]

But that chant is akin (ayodele) to saying, it's cool we beat y'all, but you're not so good anyway.

Ya know?

I'd much rather hear them chant OHHH OH OH OH OH OH OHHHH

[Hugg]

I know, but it's amusing. Don't overthink it!

Big 10/ACC Challenge is gonna be weird without Fip being here to make fun of the Big 10 for days ahead of time and then mysteriously stop posting in the thread if the ACC loses.

[Beef]

He never liked Michigan bball, did he?

[Hugg]

Well, they sucked most of the time he was around, so he just didn't post about them.

Kinda like how he quit talking about their football team for years.

[Beef]

I don't wanna talk about him anymore

[Hugg]

RealGM nerds want the Raptors to tank for a high pick.

And their solution is to start Alabi at center.

[Beef]

Well, once those front office folks see him trying to do things on defense, they gon send him to the bench

[Hugg]

Its gon be different now cause they hired Casey to coach.

/won't be different
--------------------
Tall Baron Davis is excited

[Beef]

Raptors have lots of indian fans.

Not like native american indian

[Hugg]

Lots of them folks in Toronto from what I understand.
--------------------
There's 2 old people waiting to storm the court.
--------------------
ehahehahehahe fans hugging players on the bench

[Valid]

Bernie Fine fired. Gonna be interesting to see what happens with Boeheim now.

[Ramp]

Indiana beat Butler by 16 tonight

looking forward to the ACC/Big 10 Challenge this week

[MiamiHomer]

I'd be cool if Miami beat Purdue in that on Tuesday.

[Ramp]

works for me

[Hugg]

Students starting camping out outside Schottenstein Center last night for the Duke game tomorrow night.

Don't think that's ever happened at OSU before.

Fucking Nebraska.

[Chewford]

Facebook told me Billy D just got his 400th win. He's a pretty swell guy, he only pretend left Florida once, which is so much better than pretend leaving Florida, than for realz leaving Florida, and then signing somewhere else.

fun week for us non-bobbobs

[Metes]

I hope we beat FIP

[Hugg]

Beef, LeBron and Wade are the OSU/Duke game.

LeBron is rooting for whoever is leading at the time.

Bosh wasn't invited to this one.
--------------------
47-28 Ohio State at the half.

JJ is probably angry.

[Beef]

I wonder if Wade was like, "remember when we did that?" after Ohio State celebrated like they won the entire world after going up 11-0
--------------------
Also, how much do you hate the face of Doc Rivers' kid?

[Hugg]

It's very hateable.

AP writer (Ramp) tweeted that James and Wade got booed when they walked to their seats before the game.

OSU is winning by more now. I am seriously very surprised by this.

[Beef]

I was wondering if they would get booed. Should've waited for the next time Miami plays a home game, they could sit in almost every seat in the arena.

[Hugg]

They couldn't introduce Urban Meyer to the crowd at halftime because his daughter's contract says no basketball games.

[Namaste]

Loving the beat down that is taking place so far

I liked when Duke got like 7 offensive rebounds in a row at the end of the half and couldn't get a bucket

[Hugg]

I may have made that last post up.

[Beef]

I may have made that last post up.

Well did you or didn't you?!?

Rivers spends 90% of his court time pouting

[Ramp]

should be 4-2 Big 10 after tonight

[Blackout Pact]

This game has surprised me. I don't think Duke is this bad or OSU is this good but this is a beat down so far.

[Hugg]

They did it Beef.

[MiamiHomer]

I miss Reggie Johnson.

/no one will know what I'm talking about

[Todd]

The Ohio State Universities starting 5 is phenomenal. Depth is probably their issue as it is from time to time.

[Hugg]

Pretty much.

OSU had the #6 recruiting class in the country and not one of them played any meaningful minutes tonight. Don't see that much anymore.


The best guy in the class, LaQuinton Ross, was a non-qualifier, but got his shit together and will be eligible 12/9. 6'8" swingman. Will be interesting to see where he fits in.

[Beef]

I miss Reggie Johnson.

/no one will know what I'm talking about

Why don't you give us a little more credit, Bobbob

[Hugg]

I had to google it.

[Mainge]

I'm surprised Hugg was surprised at that outcome. I knew it was over right before tip-off. 4 black kids against 1.5 black kids. You can't overcome those odds.

I'm sad we let Austin Rivers get away though.

[Ramp]

I'm not hating in the least, but does Florida beat out Duke for players interested in both sometimes?

[Mainge]

Never and I don't expect them to ever win against Duke for recruits. I should have said it sucks to know he was committed here before Duke came calling.

[MiamiHomer]

I'm surprised Hugg was surprised at that outcome. I knew it was over right before tip-off. 4 black kids against 1.5 black kids. You can't overcome those odds.

I'm sad we let Austin Rivers get away though.

Wisconsin did last year, in their first match up at least. Can't say the same for the 2nd one.

[Beef]

I think what MH is trying to say is that sometimes the smarter team wins

[Mainge]

I like where this is going.

[Blackout Pact]

Rivers has the potential to be absurdly good.

[Ramp]

so the latest is that some former Cuse players had sex with Bernie Fine's wife

Boeheim is gonna be in lots of trouble if this is true

[Ramp]

IU up 25-21, under 12 timeout in the first half

[Beef]

Take it to the Florida Panthers thread

[Ramp]

32-27 Hoosiers, under 8 timeout

awesome pace right now
--------------------
37-34 Hoosiers, under 4 timeout

[Beef]

Cheerleader grotesquely injured at Michigan State game

[Ramp]

Hoosiers down 42-41 at the break

ugly end to that half

[Beef]

The girl is fine and probably really embarrassed.

and hot

[Ramp]

48-48, this game is nuts
--------------------
we can't score right now, this sucks

down 5
--------------------
and now down 7... this one might be ovah
--------------------
IU up 1, 3:15 to go
--------------------
Indiana won by 11

this is awesome

[Hugg]

I don't feel like quoting stuff, but Ohio State had Jon Diebler last year, so they were whiter then they are now.

[MiamiHomer]

I know, it was a joke anyways.

[Hugg]

I definitely thought you were serious.

[MiamiHomer]

Totally figured that.

[Hugg]

Does Miami have a lot of white fellas this year?

[Ramp]

B1GTenn is 1 minute away from a Challenge win

Indiana won by 11

this is awesome

I hate you Ramp. And that was the most intense non-conference game I've been to at NC State. We just completely fell apart at the end. There were some dickhead IU fans there. Ugh.

[Hugg]

A fired-up crowd was eerily quiet midway through the first quarter after a Michigan State cheerleader, Taylor Young, fell on her face during a performance.

The 20-year-old junior from Twin Lake, Mich., was raised into the air and fell hard onto the court during a timeout. Dr. Jeff Kovan, the basketball team's physician, was among the medical personnel who evaluated the cheerleader. She was slowly strapped to a backboard and her head was immobilized.

The cheerleader smiled and stuck both thumbs up when the crowd cheered after she was lifted onto a stretcher.

`'She's OK," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said.

Probably. Surprised to see Indiana fans out there. But yea, there are dickhead fans everywhere.

Furthermore, suck it.

Also, Taylor Young is a hot name.

There were a lot. Towards the end of the first half, when y'all were still leading, they started talking shit during a timeout, trying to get lout. Those fuckers were silent at half time. Then at the end of the game they started to chant but we fired back getting even louder to shut them maricones up.

[Beef]

You got em

[Hugg]

But they walked out of the building, so they win.

True, I shouldn't be surprised that we had fans there. We travel everywhere.

I'd apologize for them being dicks, but I'm a Hoosier so therefore I'm a dick too.

Also, no matter how loud you got, in the end... you still lost.

[Hugg]

I bet NC State fans act with nothing but class when they go to road games.

[Miamarlin21]

Yeah, it was very tough to swallow





/that'swhatshesaid.
--------------------

It's not that they were talking shit. It's that they were talking shit against NC State, who is a bad team and they should beat. It's not like we are UNC or Duke and have been good recently. Beating NC State isn't a big deal and they shouldn't act like it is.

[Ramp]

I bet NC State fans act with nothing but class when they go to road games.

Part of being a fan is being a jackass. We teach that well at Indiana. Also, I'd say these guys should act like they've been there before, but it's the first IU win over the ACC in the Crean era, so it's likely they have not been there before.
--------------------
Indiana was a 1 point favorite.

And you probably have no idea what has gone on at Indiana over the last three years. This was a huge win.

[Hugg]

Plus, they were at NC State, so they probably hadn't been there before either.

[Ramp]

We were there in football back when Randle El was with the team.

[Hugg]

Braxton Miller won the (some guy)-Randle El Award today

But as a NC State fan/student, I have learned that you expect to lose almost every game and then be happy when they actually win won. It's a sad mentality to have, but it's a realistic one when pulling for the Wolfpack. It'll save you a ton of heartbreaks.

[Hugg]

You just described why those Indiana fellas were so happy.
--------------------
win won

[Miamarlin21]

Oh. And by the way, Indian's warmup pants were almost as bad as Billy the Marlin's pants.

[Hugg]

You really do know nothing of Indiana basketball.

[Ramp]

Oh. And by the way, Indian's warmup pants were almost as bad as Billy the Marlin's pants.

stop it. just stop it.

[Hugg]

Ramp, want to come to Columbus and have wings on December 20 and we can go to the Ohio State-Lamar game (Lamar is a school, they're not playing a guy named Lamar...I checked).

It's Bobby Knight Day.

[Miamarlin21]

No, I don't pay attention to them/Big 10.

But what does that have to do with Indiana and "they should have won"

besides, NC State has been pretty good this year... their only loss being to a good Vandy team (and now us)

[Hugg]

I forgot you're 14 so you probably don't realized they're one of the most storied programs in college hoops.
--------------------

oh god dammit

Mainge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are the only two "good" teams we have played. It's not like we've played good teams other than Vandy and y'all.

[Ramp]

you beat Texas

[Hugg]

ehe he doesn't know anything about NC State hoops either

[Miamarlin21]

Mainge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't pay attention to anyone but maybe a few ACC teams. I do know there is a movie about them.

[Ramp]

Hoosiers is not about Indiana University

[Miamarlin21]

ehe he doesn't know anything about NC State hoops either

Yeah I do. We really aren't that good. I am happy with Gottfried so far though.

[Beef]

I believe it's time for you to fly

[Miamarlin21]

Hoosiers is not about Indiana University

Oh. Someone said it was. Oh well. Guess I don't know anything about them other than Bobby Knight.

[Ramp]

Hoosiers is about Milan High School in Indiana

[Hugg]

I don't pay attention to anyone but maybe a few ACC teams. I do know there is a movie about them.

This is one of my favorite posts ever.
--------------------
In the movie, Gene Hackman plays Bear Bryant.

This is one of my favorite posts ever.

I negged it

[Miamarlin21]

Oops. See. I don't pay attention.

No you didn't?

[Hugg]

mm21, do you know who David Thompson is?

[Miamarlin21]

Yes, I know who David Thompson is. I do know about NC State basketball. Thompson asked my mom to dance at a local bar back in the day. She declined.
--------------------
I cannot type tonight. :(

[Hugg]

Because he was black probably.

[Miamarlin21]

Because he was black probably.

Exactly.

[Hugg]

It's ok. Ramp's only allowed interaction with black folks is when they carry his bag at the country club.

[Beef]

No you didn't?

Yeah, I did! I gon do it again to make sure.

[Ramp]

It's ok. Ramp's only allowed interaction with black folks is when they carry his bag at the country club.

that's not true

(they aren't allowed in the country club)

[Miamarlin21]

lol Huggles.

And I didn't get a notification.

[Ramp]

anyway, NC State is a program on the rise... good recruiting class next year too

still a big win for Indiana, after all the shit we've been through the last 3 years

should be ranked as we host Kentucky next weekend

[Beef]

fm21 was right, my neg didnt happen because I didn't realize a comment was required.

Now I know why Festa always writes "unnecessary" in his comments

[Miamarlin21]

Yes we are. Top five recruiting class, depending on the site you look at. I'm excited. Then again, I was excited last year with Ryan Harrow, Calvin Leslie and Lorenzo Brown coming in...

Rookie.

[Ramp]

CJ Leslie.... who the fuck calls him Calvin

[Beef]

Somebody who just looked up the previous recruiting class

[Miamarlin21]

CJ Leslie.... who the fuck calls him Calvin

Coach Gottfried has insisted that people call him Calvin now because C.J. Williams is CJ.

[Ramp]

Hugg, I'm gonna get you one of these shirts for the Christmas you celebrate

http://www.insidethehall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/steveandlorri.jpg

[Hugg]

Can only have one CJ on a team at a time. That's in the NCAA bylaws.

See:

Even though a lot of the same faces are back, junior center Jordan Vandenberg couldn’t help but feel the sense of newness around the Dail Center practice court at N.C. State’s basketball media day Wednesday.

“You have a brand new court, new (uniforms), a brand new coaching staff,” he said. “We’ve got a lot to look forward to this year.

Yes, a lot of things have changed for the Wolfpack since Mark Gottfried took over for Sidney Lowe at the end of last season.

Including at least one player’s name.

Although the sophomore forward whose last name is Leslie may still be listed as “C.J.” in game programs and over the PA system at the RBC Center, when it comes to the man in charge, he’s now known as “Calvin.”

“It’s time for a new start with him,” Gottfried said of Leslie. “(Senior swingman) C.J. Williams is C.J., Calvin is Calvin.”

When asked how Leslie likes the change, the new State coach smiled a wry smile and said simply, “That’s his name.”

The message he’s sending came out was loud and clear.

It doesn’t matter what Leslie likes or dislikes. As the man in charge, Gottfried he can call his player whatever he likes.

If anyone on the Wolfpack roster is in need of such a not-so-subtle kick in the shorts, it’s Leslie.

A five-star recruit who played his high school ball at Word of God Academy – the same school that produced former NBA top draft pick John Wall – the 6-foot-8 Raleigh native was the most highly touted prospect to sign with State in nearly two decades.

But while he had his share of memorable moments last season while earning a spot on the ACC All-Rookie team with averages of 11.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, he was also wildly inconsistent both on and off the court.

His low point came on Feb. 5, when he was suspended for his team’s game at Duke because of a violation of an undisclosed team rule.

[Hugg]

Calm down mibs.

[Miamarlin21]

Well don't say I don't know about my own school.

[Ramp]

I feel like we should have a thread to teach fla21 to educate him about the history of NCAABB

[Hugg]

Only after we get a BLT thread.
