Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

No, I won't concede there is no evidence that Purdue has three NBA players. The fact that Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, and eventually Kelsey Barlow have been mentioned as POSSIBLE FUTURE NBA PLAYERS in MANY circles is evidence Purdue might have three NBA players, you dolt!

Just because they might all stay for next year does not mean they are not NBA players. Cripes, does this guy consider Ohio State a contender because of Mark Titus' highlight video?

Wow!

This guy insults the Purdue fanbase and then acts surprised that he irritated us when some fans respond back. We don’t belong with Kansas because they lost to Tennessee (1 of 2 current top 10 teams we beat) and we don’t belong with Texas because they must be unbeatable if they can beat Texas-Corpus Cristi by 6 points. The real reason is that we don’t belong cause we’re from the Big Ten and don’t have as many championship banners in the past. Of course, that has nothing to do with this year when the field is more open than usual, but I guess I don’t get paid to cover college basketball like this guy does. I hope we do win it all, well obviously, because I’m a Purdue alum and fan, but an added side benefit would be that all these ignorant fools that cover college basketball would shut up.

He forgets one thing

You can have all the NBA talent in the world, but if you have one bad night in the tournament you’re done. What happens if Kansas gets a 1 vs. 8/9 game against someone like Ohio State or Wisconsin and plays like they did against Tennessee? What about Texas against someone like Michigan State in the sweet 16? Remember, Kansas is the king of choking away great teams in the tournament. Their 1997 was LOADED, but went down to Arizona in the Sweet 16.

All it takes is one game.

Zen

Boiler fans have a little bit of angst in them. I do too, especially when it comes to that dome in South Bend. Travis, sometimes you get a little too upset about what the media says and thinks about us. Gary Parrish is a tool, just look at the guy. For his profile he chooses the picture that makes him look like a raging douche instead of sewer monster he normally looks like. I mean seriously you lose all your credibility when you run out of gas because you’re too dumb to realize it. I mean his NBA thoery is complete crap. It’s correlation not causation. National champ kids get more exposure and thus get selected in the draft, how many busts have been on those teams? I mean who’s the 3rd on that Syracuse squad? McNamerra? He tried out, that counts? Having fringe NBA players on a squad is notihng. But Travis, and Boiler nation as well, we need to understand not everything is a slight on us and sometimes it’s good to be the guy without the spotlight. This squad is tough, you know it, I know it, we all know it, and not even Gary’s fake tan will change that. BTN loves us, because they actually seen us play.

Very good point

That is why this is the last I will be whining and I’ll let our play speak for us.

It isn’t ending Defend That, Digger though. That’s too much fun making him looks stupid.
