*Official* B1G Off-season Thread

[Gumbo02]

I saw Indiana's Memorial Stadium on the previous page and it brought up memories from last month.

Went to the MSU - IU game as part of an Indy trip as half the group were Spartoons. Felt like I was at a minor league baseball game.

- tv timeouts were a trip, those of you in attendance who are state of Indiana teachers please stand up to be honored

- dude trying to catch footballs in the end zone being shot from a gunz machine was funny

- halftime was a treat. "Olympic" style competition between Indiana band member and "Purdue student" acting like a goof

Band playing right up to the moment MSU snaps the ball. Siren going off anytime MSU had the ball on third down. Jokingly told my msu peeps that they might pump in some "hut hut" when IU was on offense to get offside penalties.

Been to dozens of games at Michigan Stadium and to a handful of games at Spartan Stadium and never see the hokey stuff in those buildings as I saw in Bloomington.

Been some complaints on a lot of this stuff on our home board. I haven't gone to a game in awhile, but it is absolutely monkey's running the zoo type shit it seems.

Listen bro, I don't take shit from male nurses.

When the she-nurse arrives, do you want it handed to you or smeared across your face?

Go stick a thermometer up your own butt.

If he is so good how could they only manage a 7-20 record and finish so bad in the Ivy League?

I'm gonna go with
"Ivy League teammates and a first year HC"

MSU, Purdue and IU all slated to start walk ons.

Also, that team will need a lot out of Langford to live up to their pre-season ratings IMO.

Yea, hoping Langford can put together a more consistent season this year.

He averaged 11.7ppg, 3.0rpg, 1.5apg and shot 40.4% from 3 last season... but took the 2nd more FGA per game, including a lot of long 2's, and played subpar defense.

The good thing is that we'll have more depth on the wing this year. Maybe not proven depth, but we add Ahrens, Gabe Brown, and Aaron Henry all in that SG/SF wing spot.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Probably a homer take but I’m not seeing that roster as superior to Michigan’s.

How would you rank these matchups?

Winston vs. Simpson
Langford vs. Poole
McQuaid vs. Matthews
Goins/Tillman vs. Livers/Johns?
Ward vs. Teske

Michigan w/ the higher ceiling / lower floor imo.

I'd take Matthews over all of those guys though.

Yeah it's pretty bad. I'm not saying Purdue is night and day better but Memorial Stadium is pretty bad with that kind of stuff.

 

[boiler1987]

I wasn’t shocked. That’s what happens when you hire a high school football coach. Can’t expect much fan support.

Not sure how IU expects to move their program forward if the fans can't stay the whole game in a relatively close game like that. I feel like I've never seen it that sparse at a Purdue game when it was that close of a game.

Don’t really like doing it position by position because the difference between Matthews and Mcquaid is way bigger than say Livers/Brazdeikas/Johns vs Goins/Tillman.

A lot of the fans are pretty apathetic in regards to actually caring about the result of the game. However, I had a few friends that do care about IU football at the game and they said they also left early because of how miserably cold they were with the wind blowing like crazy. I'd probably leave a Purdue game early too if it was a 2 possession game near the end and the weather conditions were like that.

any reports on Poole's play thus far? definitely one of the guys that i'm interested in seeing this year as his role expands like crazy and he showed signs.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Not as far as I’ve seen. I expect him to be a go to scorer this year though. 7.6ppg in 14.6mpg as a freshman in conference play last season should translate pretty well at 30mpg this year as a sophomore.

 

[pig1960]

I’m going with 5 banners and “It’s IU” as the only logical conclusion. Hell I’ll make a $500 charity bet Purdue shoots a higher efg% than IU. Thats a no brainer. First come first serve.

No takers as expected. Lulz.

EFG% is more important than, you know, actually winning games.

 

[pig1960]

Irony this came from a Rutgers fan...Piscataway- nuff said.

 

[pig1960]

I’ll take the same bet on winning %. Bitch.

Ps- u r an idiot.

Will you take the same bet on who has the lower (obviously I mean seed closer to 1) BTT seed between IU and Purdue?

 

[boilerzz]

IU has a much easier B1G schedule. Purdue could be a better team and have a worse record.

Shhhhh. He's too drunk to realize that...

PU has what appears to be a tough Big draw. But yeah I’m in. You taking the bet? My guess is Purdue punks IU again anyway.

 

[pig1960]

It’s for charity punk- I can’t lose.

Yep, I'm taking that bet.

Deal!

I’ll take Michigan’s postseason winning percentage over Purdue.

What about HUnter? That kid is gonna be really, really gooooood.

 

[cosmickid]

Nice strawman. Never said or implied Edwards was the 2nd coming of MJ you moron. You fabricated that bullshit in your head.

Simply stating that it’s unrealstic to expect to double team him the whole game and that he’s going to get his, night in & night out regardless of whatever gadget defense teams throw at Purdue.

He played 28 mins at Assembly Hall. He went 3-10 from the floor,scoring 7 pts + 3 fts, for a total of 10 pts. Not sure IU will need any "gadget" defense to "throw at him"...

Good luck with that lol. We didn’t need much from Carsen that game as Haas and Vince combined for 45.

Good thing you didn't....He was 3-10.

Edwards is gonna get his. Not to much of a question, really. BUT....can he get support? That will be the question. And what hapens when Edwards has a night where he doesnt(get his)?

 

[MGC_07]

I assume you mean Henry, and I’ll bet by the end of the season he’s the starter. Izzo likes to go with veterans, though. Hearing a lot of positives.

Gabe Brown has also apparently done extremely well in the gym and put on a lot of much need muscle. Apparently his shot is very nice for his size. Pretty lengthy kid too. Don’t think he gets a ton of minutes this year but definitely will be a solid player down the road.

UM beat a 6 seed to get the honor of getting their ass handed to them by Villanova. Congrats on losing- hang a banner.
