Purdue Beats Iowa, Hates Freedom

This loss hurts. There's no other way to put it. It hurts like 9/11.
I suppose that for me, personally, it hurts more than it ought to since I had to go off what Mr. 80 Proof Gospel himself, Gary Dolphin, was telling me. His details were indeed dour, far past the point of veracity (among his claims were that Iowa was 5-20 from long range and that they'd committed 23 turnovers--not so true), so the fact that Iowa was competitive might seem more improbable than it actually was. But I, like Dolphin, digress.
Iowa--nay, America needed the Hawks to win. And yet the last five seconds, like the 19:55 before it, was wracked by the undue influence of the referees. Who are terrorists. The jihad call against Freeman was a timid, incorrect call by the incorrect referee. That was Hartzell's call to make, and he didn't.
Never forget last night. Matt Painter flew two metaphorical planes into the twin towers of Iowa basketball and justice, and for that, Eagle Jesus cries.

Gene Keady?
I caught the end of the Big 10 show last night with Gene Keady and Jimmy Jackson doing commentary about the Iowa/Purdue game.
Jackson thought Freemans call was a jump ball but Keady thought it was a foul. It looked clean to me but I am biased.
I guess the Big Dog Robinson and Brian Cardinal were not available for analyst work.

Brian Cardinal is no Greg Brunner
Great post. This loss did hurt. I know the hand is a part of the ball and all that, but how did Freeman let him drive? Freeman is a quick dude. He's quick like Michael Johnson with gold shoes.
I guess its better than being blown out but those losses can't be healthy for my heart.

DISCLAIMER: This came from Dolph
But it was pre-game so he may not have been blacked out yet.
They said Freeman was a little gimpy after he tweaked his groin (LOL) in practice a day or two prior, and that he wasn't 100%. No idea if he was right.
