I'm assuming you are referencing me, except you last called me a nerd. At NO point have I ever said that beating MN was a quality win. Losing to them (in overtime, at the Barn) is not a bad loss though IMHO (which I did say). A loss to a top 50 team is not considered a bad loss (again IMHO). You can certainly feel that your Gophers are worse than top 50, or are a bad loss to anybody that loses to them. You really are a bitter lil' Gopher aren't you?
If you really want to over-analyze this, the arm seems to accelerate faster than Zeller pulling it. And what kind of idiot attempts to ball tap himself.'jomar said:
Yes, yes I am.
Also, I do understand RPI, good losses, bad losses, good wins, etc. better than most and I know that losing to Minnesota at home is not a bad loss according to all that jazz. I just hate everything right now. Probably going to go light something on fire. brb.
Zeller??
Watch it again without your MSU goggles on. Zeller is holding onto Nix, Nix doesn't like it so he smacks Zeller in the junk. Zeller doesn't pull his arm that hard. Seriously, why are people making a stink about this? It doesn't help that I live in MI and make the mistake of listening to local talk radio on the ride home from work. They've spent way too much time talking about this stupid thing.
I'm a Michigan fan and I say Zeller was trying to get a call here, possibly 2 free throws and the ball back in a tightly contested game that may decide the Big Ten Championship.
It really doesn't matter which team you are a fan of, if you're honest. If Zeller were doing that on purpose you would have seen some sort of evidence like flexing arm muscles or anticipation on his face. It's not there. His hand is on Nix's arm but it's just along for the ride as Nix decides to give him a quick "howyadoin?".
Look at Zeller's forearm and tell me you don't see the flexing... I watched it and tried to view it as Nix giving him the shot and I honestly don't see it.. Nix's arm is hanging there like it's dead.. Zeller pulls it into him, plain as day..
I'm posting this, to hopefully have you not hate everything, but fear it will add to the fire you've already started (likely in your neighbor's backyard). If that doesn't work, a kitty cat pyramid should
No surprise there
The surprise is the Oladipo was not even in the top 25 for the midseason running according to the John Wooden Award. Now he is finally getting a lot of press as the best player in the country.
That is huge for Michigan to get Morgan healthy.
Appling is a really good player, but he just doesn't seem to have "it". He always looks nervous and tentative, and he seems to struggle in the big moments more often than not. I hope I'm wrong about him, because MSU needs him to take charge if they're going to make any kind of tournament run.'swirvenirvin said:
These past 4 games should quiet all the Appling going pro talk, and probably Dawson too.
Also going back to last year, he just doesn't ever to seem to hit a clutch 3.Last 4 games8-39 from the field, 13 TOs, 7 assists, and 2-19 from 3
. Still fun nonetheless vs #1.
Frosty might quit watching basketball altogether if The Golden Gopher losesIU at MN this Tue. was looking like a great matchup earlier in the year when a client invited me to go and I chose that game. Low expectations now but I hope it's at least watchable and not a total
Hopefully he can get out of this performance slump before Tourney time. I really like how the rest of the team is coming together though.
Above's a listing of upcoming games (bolded games I'm most looking forward to). Big game for MN tonight, and for Iowa tomorrow.
I'll be there as well.I'm hoping for some old school Clem Haskins luck in making it a game. I remember the days back in college when we'd go to IU games, and no matter how good either team was, it was a great game to be at. Just hoping for a game that isn't over by half time. The barn will be rockin tonight.IU at MN this Tue. was looking like a great matchup earlier in the year when a client invited me to go and I chose that game.

The game at Bloomington was over by halftime, except it wasn't. I don't think a lot of IU fans are taking this one as an automatic win. I'm certainly not.I'll be there as well.I'm hoping for some old school Clem Haskins luck in making it a game.

I heard Tubby brought in a sports psychologist so maybe the frame of mind will be better.I'll be there as well.I'm hoping for some old school Clem Haskins luck in making it a game.

Does the sports psychologist teach offensive theory?I heard Tubby brought in a sports psychologist so maybe the frame of mind will be better.I'll be there as well.I'm hoping for some old school Clem Haskins luck in making it a game.

I think the offensive theory should be Hollins, Hollins or Mbakwe jacking shots before having a chance to commit turnovers. Coleman and Dre need to attack the lane too. What do they have to lose? Shoot!!!We'll see what Rodney can do off the shoulder injury. Tubby apparently praised him for leadership this week. Hoping he doesn't try to "take over" by shooting three's.
So far Bucky is taking care of business. Not a bad start for the Freshman 
edited to add: Decker scored 19 on 6 shots, going 5-6 from the floor (4-5 for 3's) and 5-6 from the line...off the bench (24 minutes). I have to think that Bo is trying to keep the kid from burning out, and plans to use him much more in March.
