A happy early New Year to you all. While it was a great year for the site, personally it was an incredibly harrowing year and I am glad that it is is over. 2011 can kiss my ass in that regard. Before realxing with an adult beverage of choice this evening there is one more item of business: defendinf the Mackey Arena home court.
As mentioned, Mrs. T-Mill and I are in the alumni Paint Crew today. I have busted out the old school Gene Pool shirt from retirement to honor the first named student section from 2001-02. Yes, at the end of that year we might have had 50 students in attendance for wins over bad Penn State and Michigan teams, but I was there, begging John Allison to box out just once for the love of God.
Trust me, as much as you guys dislike Travis Carroll, John Allison was light years worse. He's the only 6'11" player I am confident I could outrebound over the course of a 40 minute game.

this alumni Paint crew is awesome
great seats thanks to the Paint Crew, but the ticket office was less than useless helping us find where to get our tickets.

needs to start ripping ass more often. I know he’s not Keady, but I think it would do some good if he started ripping the ref’s ass more.

Would you say the same thing about Gene Keady?
Buckeye by birth, but BOILERMAKER by the grace of God!
No offense
but I respectfully disagree. Keady knew the game of basketball better than any ref (and better than MOST people on the face of the earth). I wouldn’t consider him to be a whiner in any sense of the word and I would love to see a little of that come out in Painter.

i exptected Kent to beat them by 10... they laid an egg.
that said… OSU is much better imo. 10 point win for OSU. I can see IU starting the B1G 1-3… outside chance at 0-4 is Michigan knocks them off.
Go Boilers!!!
Kentucky played its worst game of the season by far
AND IU shot 61% from 3, they got exposed by MSU earlier, OSU is gonna roll them with a heealthy Sullenger.
Could ASS Hall just vanish into a black hole??

Buckeye by birth, but BOILERMAKER by the grace of God!
I'm only going for OSU
because nothing is worse than IU or UK fans when they think they are the best team in the country (AKA not out of the tourney)
Try living 35 miles from Columbus
and you might think differently. As much as I hate IU basketball and ND football fans, OSU fans are on a level of their own.
Buckeye by birth, but BOILERMAKER by the grace of God!
Hey 99 times out of 100 I agree with you
I don’t like OSU at all, IU just needs to get knocked down a peg right now.
Ha... Right there with out... 23 miles from Columbus...
They’re obnoxious… But I hate that basketball program…. They don’t sell out their arena, they’re a football school, and they keep landing massive recruiting classes, more often than not stealing Indiana kids… I smell a rat.

A great day
First, thank you Iowa for an amazing job in Madison.
We showed great defense, in our tradition—Leonard looked lost and about to cry, but he could learn to be a force in future years. UI did a good defensive job on Robbie, or he had an off-day, but we played everyone tough.
2nd half reminded me of a preseason warmup. I hope the guys imprint this on their brains.
The team showed me a lot with Robbie and LewJack on the bench—this is very important for the rest of the season and in future.
Can we make a fund to hire a free-throw consultant? This will kill us in crunch time.
Next up: IU is destroyed by the OSU aircraft carrier.

Travis Carrol on the radio.
He’s obviously never been interviewed. Either way, I look forward to hearing more interviews from him.
Travis you need to put Travis Carroll's name in the opening every time.
He played the best game I’ve seen from him in 2 years. He had at least 2 steals! He was active on defense, he did miss a few switches when he was supposed to get back to Myles Leonard but overall he had a great game and finished around the basket this is what we need from him! He even gave a few aggressive fouls to keep his player from getting the rebound or shot. I’m pumped he played such a great game.
l'll drink to that.
I’ll admit being critical of TC’s game, but tonight he shut me up, and I love it!
