Pathetic. What a joke
Izzo’s got 8 FFs, so you really can’t ding him there. I do agree that he’s wasted some talent, and you can’t say that about Beilein. But, also, Beilein has two lost years there and Izzo never does (injuries are part of the game). JMO but the floor/ceiling analogy is pretty tight and expresses it well.
Hey now! He had to get Tum Tum on the court!!!

…and liked again in a post, because hearting that wasn’t enough.
Stephen Bardo drinking game:
When he says “in my opinion”, drink.
When he says “I see you, young man (or player’s name)”, drink.
When he says “For those young players out there… (then proceeds to analyze a dunk)”, drink.
Absolutely blitzed by halftime.

Added caveat: When he says anything about a player’s hair style, drink.

If he mentions Jacob Young’s family tree, shotgun a six pack.

I just googled to figure out what happened to Jon Crispin. Looks to be full-time ESPN now, but no one bothered to update his wikipedia page to reflect that!
Some fugly basketball in Columbus right now.
Crispin is in Dan Dakich training!

Everyone’s perception is different. Tom Izzo will always come with three caveats that I just don’t overcome in evaluating him: Being abusive to players and tolerating repeated ugliness toward women on his watch are the first two–both at this stage more or less indisputable. The third is that we gave him his opening with our own corruption and will simply never know how much more he would have struggled had we not done so. I think we can assume that he would not have reached the heights he has. . .
Bobby Knight is almost inarguably a basketball genius. He’s still a bum. A lot of people have talent. For me, whether you’re a good person carries the most weight.
And since we’re going down that road: To me his classic teams did not, for the most part, play a pretty brand of ball.

Preferred picture of the future: (a) a boot stamping on a human face forever, (b) the first half of that game.
I’m torn.
I got in a BTN announcer rabbit hole one day. I was curious where Tim Doyle turned up. Sad to report he is not Darius “Butterfly” Morris’s agent.

Ohio State getting away with fouls again tonight. Liddel just did a hook and hold and they called the foul on Nebraska
Nebraska has 2 AST on 15 FG with 14 TO.
Exhibit #32,843,483,224 that charge calls are out of control just now in the PSU/IU game.
If I live to be 10,000 years old I will never see a call as bad as the Mike Smith charge to end the 1H against PSU

PSU is wearing the pink uniforms again. I don’t understand

The “charge” that Galloway took? Yeah, that was pretty floppy.

The loser of this game is not going to be feeling very good about the rest of the season
