Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

LIVEBLOG: Iowa at Purdue: E'Twaun's Revenge

Amazingly, "E'Twaun's Revenge" is not the title of poorly executed Star Wars fan fiction; we're referring to the phenomenally named E'Twaun Moore, star freshman guard for the Boilermakers.

We'll be popping in from time to time to offer our thoughts, which we cannot guarantee will even be remotely related to the game itself. I'm here for the tip*, Jebus will be here later to give us his pants status, and HS... who knows. Par for the course, really.

Anyhoo, speaking of poorly executed fan fiction, please enjoy Full Life Consequences. You think Tony is their third, younger brother?

*that's what she said.

I'll take this opportunity

to reaffirm my undying love for Gary Dolphin. By the time Iowa's losing by 11 halfway through the first half, he'll be sauced. Drunk Dolph is entertaining Dolph.

Jeff Peterson has borrowed Jake Christensen's everything tonight.

3 TO's in 6 minutes is spectacular in its idiocy.

I missed 5 minutes and 5 turnovers. Well done, boys.

They missed you.

Good to see JJ met his 3 quota early. He might miss 12 straight now.

As a Penn State fan...

...I used to love games like this.  "Hey!  We're on pace for 20 total points and we're only down three right now!"

It was seriously a miracle when Penn State scored more than 25 points in the first half.  That was my single criteria to decide whether I should bother with watching the second half.

Another sad March for me.

by jebushchrist on Jan 30, 2008 6:24 PM CST up reply actions  

I think

If you look at Iowa, they tend to do well against weak offensive teams. Now that we've got the early jitters out of the way, I think we're going to take control.

Imagine if they weren't giving the ball away on half their possessions. Good heavens.

There's no doubt about it

Not at all

He was out of control in all facets of the game. It's unbelievable what he's done with decent coaching.

Is horribly ugly and absolutely the only way we can win this thing.
If I might make a suggestion, it would be that we take the ball to the hole once or twice.

That was bullshit...OK, on review, maybe not.  That elbow was thrown with purpose, if not accuracy.

Makeup calls!

Did they just rob Freeman at knifepoint?

That was a mere trap

Despite Dolph's best description of his off-season exploits.

Hate to be the hater, but we've had a couple of calls go our way in the first half.

Which reminds me

Ted Haggard got busted doing meth with that gay hooker while I was living in Denver, and I remember thinking, "why the fuck didn't anyone tell me that Denver was so much fun?"  Colorado is a thoroughly fucked up state.  

I like Iowa much more.  Even though I've only driven through it and never spent the night there, I have a lot of good, weird Iowa memories.  Like that weird organic farm restaurant in Waukee, and almost getting hit by a fucking tornado near Leclair.

...

Announcer #1:  Do you think the first couple of minutes of the second half will tell us how the rest of the half will go?

Announcer #2:  The first half was defense and turnovers, and I don't think the second half will be too much different.

Captain Obvious makes an appearance.

And I'm back

We actually have more points off turnovers than the Boilers.

I like the adjustments we made at the half. 20 seconds into the 2nd half, we have Gorney pivoting wildly, 35 feet from the basket with everyone standing around awestruck. TO TIME!

Dolph

Dolph will lodge a complaint during the first half.  But in the second, he's usually too busy ordering another round and telling Bobby Hansen how much he loves him to make too much noise.

Indecision

Our guards have been very indecisive passing the ball tonight (probably due to the Purdude defense).  All the early time outs, now a 5 second call, all because we won't risk a turnover.
