SUPERLIVEGAMETHREAD: HOOSIER CUPCAKE?
Indiana Hoosiers at Iowa Hawkeyes, Jan 3, 2009 3:35 PM CST

A visual representation of Indiana's season-to-date
We might have had the great misfortune of not scheduling Michigan during its Season of Great Football Discontent. We might have missed our opportunity to exorcise the demons of years gone by, to revel in that rarest of circumstances. We might have kicked and screamed and cursed Jim Delaney for not giving us that catharsis.
Indiana basketball is not so lucky.
If you haven't been paying attention, the Hoosiers are a hot pile of fail. They come in at 5-7, losers of their last three (including home games against Just Northeastern and Lipscomb) and relying on a half-dozen newcomers for virtually all their offensive production. Much like Michigan, they will be back, and soon; Tom Crean (unquestionable star of the BTN basketball coaches' commercial) brought in a top-notch recruiting class, and he's sure to bring in more. It just hasn't helped considerably this season.
3:30 CST tipoff live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena on the Big Ten Network (announcers TBD). Let's kick them while they're down, eh?

Nice picture, but does the arrow really need to be there?
I mean, it’s perfectly obvious that the kid’s shirt is on backwards – the arrow is just overkill, man.
Wow...nice find!
That kid is a dead ringer for Anthony Tucker.
"When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know." Bill Parcells
OK, I'm here
Breakfast is made, Iowa is tied.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Was that just a fast break basket?
Who are you and what have you done with my Hawkeyes?
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Oh no, Hightower again?
God damn it, he hates us.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Gatens answers an Indiana trey
10-8 Iowa, 14:00 left in the first half.
In other news, HS Sr. just text messaged “Why do we get that Hawk killer ref every time?” Like father, like son.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Peterson dribbles it off his foot
Just when I think I’m being undily hard on Peterson, a kid who is still learning his position and obviously is trying hard, he goes and does something like that.
We have no rebounding, and that’s against a couple of big white freshmen. Indiana leads 12-10, timeout Iowa.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Nice play by Peterson
See? There ya go Jeff. Love ya buddy.
Great pass to Tate for the lay-in.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
And he follows it with a carry
Fucking god damn it.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Matt Roth the Iowa FB player is also really sweaty
They’re both descendants of former Cuban mogue Hyman Roth.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
That was a horrendous call
I mean, obviously I’ll take it for the And-1, but that guy was in good position.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
That's an iffy blocking call, but we'll take it
3-point play by Tate puts Iowa up 18-15
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
COMMERCIAL BREAK
18-15 Iowa, 8:00 to go. And thank God I’m not talking to myself anymore.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Breakfast
Eggs, tomatoes, peppers (they were Ro*Tel, actually), bacon, and cheese between two pieces of grilled bread.
You know what’s better than bacon? Bacon smothered in cheese.
Oops Pow Surprise: "I'm stuck writing at the Titty Barn."
Make-up call...eh, maybe not
Kelly was moving a little.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Check out that killer perimeter defense for Brommer!
Yes, they called it on Kelly, but really, Brommer was fouling him for a good 3 steps on the drive.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Tom Crean's hair
More ridiculous than Steve Alford’s butt cut?
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Nice pass, nice shot
Jeff Peterson (the Jeckyl & Hyde routine continues) finds Gatens for the layup and the foul.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
that's impossible
You can’t have more than 100%. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Tate with the 7-step layup!
Again, I’ll take it, but what more did he have to do to get a travel call?
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Nice interior D by Tate
The Virus denies the pass, then sprints down and gets a bucket and a foul.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
There's Eddie
Finding fouls where they don’t exist.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Indiana's interior defense is really poor
If Tate stays out of foul trouble, he should end up with 20 points today.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
You might want to get that checked out
If your asshole is dribbling, it could be the first sign of a serious gastrointestinal problem.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
ANDREW BROMMER
Pros:
Is tall
Can dress self with minimal supervision
Cons:
Literally everything else
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Nope
He’s likely to miss the entire rim.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
In Russia, Jeff Peterson would have been shot by now
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
uhh.... yeah.... peanut butter cups....

Double dribble?
Did that just get called? Did Hightower give us the requisite “Dubble Dwibthle” reference?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Peterson knocks in a trey
Iowa goes to the break up 33-27
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Jeff Peterson and Andrew Brommer should fight to the death
And then when one guy wins, Lickliter would say “LOL just kidding” and pull out a revolver and kill the other guy.
There would be no charges filed.

I wish it would happen more often...Tate needs more touches during games.
Also, touchdown Michael Turner. 14-10 Arizone
He's also got more rhymes than Jamaica's got mangos
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
I don't think that's the Butler way
But hey… 2 points.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
I would.
I’d do it while plotting out my exit strategy, but… y’know, I would.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Did we not just have this conversation?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Brommer with a dumb foul
Shocking turn of events
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Indiana bricks another front end
They’re like 2007 Iowa.

5-hour energy
If it’s not banned by the NFL, it’s fucking worthless.

does Iowa ever wear the gold uniforms anymore
listening on the internet while Kurt Warner throws picks.
I haven't seen them in a couple of years
Too bad, too. I liked the gold uni’s
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
are they contractually obligated to wear Yellow?
KU is contractually obligated to wear those horrid red uniforms 5 times a year….
this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.
I think they died with the old basketball symbol.
Thank God.
And when the machine breaks down, we break down.
cheesezik coins?

4-18 on the year
I think he’s turning the corner
Brommer with a 1-foot jumper
And it almost went in!
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
He follows it with 2 missed at the stripe
I think a monkey could shoot 40%, right?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Brommer is sweating way too much
Even Patrick Ewing thinks that shit is out of control
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Brommer took a charge?
Could he not put up his dukes in time?
Who was the last Hawkeye to win the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Award?
Well duh, Glen Worley.

one of the universities of Southern Illinois
That’s right, there’s more than one.
As if Iowa doesn't get enough of their students.
Oh wait, that’s just Chicago.
And when the machine breaks down, we break down.
Have you been to southern illinois?
There’s no way they can get into Kirkwood
Only Jeff Peterson can stop Jeff Peterson
Well, that and a standard 1-3-1 halfcourt trap
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Did they just announce the Outback Bowl final at the game?
And didn’t that game end about 2 days ago?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
By the way, 56-46 Iowa, 7:00 to play
For those who aren’t watching
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Horrible call by Hightower
I, for one, am stunned.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."

Ed Hightower sorting things out
That’s always a good sign
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
gary dolphin doesn't know why Ed takes so long

I think Alford did
and Ed still cant get the taste out
alfred doesn't like Hightower & tries to explain after the game
that he was right as he throws Jermain Davis under the bus

Tate with the long jumper!
Okay, Cyrus, don’t ever do that again.

Horrible call by Hightower
I mean absolutely atrocious.
We’ll take it, though
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Worst. Commercial. Ever.
Taxslayer.com commercials make McDonald’s look revolutionary and hilarious.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
EEEEEE SNUGGIE!
Take it from me: Snuggie is perfect for liveblogging Iowa basketball!
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
The Snuggie people missed a golden opportunity
They should have shown someone trying to make their own Snuggie and making a big mess and getting flustered.

4 point game, 2:00 to go, and Iowa just turned it over
This is not going as planned.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Thanks Hoosiers
They take the worst shot ever. Iowa goes to the line.
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."

Already lost mine
Thank god for Dolph’s pleasing baritone.
Peterson makes them both
Iowa up 6, 1:25 left
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
If Brommer gets within 50 feet of the court, I'm starting the rampage
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Williams gets isolated, atones for his last shot
:58 to play, Iowa up 4 with the ball, timeout
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
"isolated"?
Look at Mr. Smartypants with his big words!

Kelly loses it...again
He’s like Ronnie Harmon out there
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Kelly loses the ball, Indiana ball, 30.2 to play.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Jake Kelly ends his day with a ridiculous foul
Roth at the line, 22.4 to go. God damn it.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Kelly fouls out away from the ball
He really might be pulling a Ronnie Harmon.
At some point, don’t we have to address the fact that our two primary ballhandlers dribble like third graders?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
bobby hansen condems jack kelly's foul....
Gary is speechless…

Jeff Peterson trying to single-handedly break a press
is a horror show.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
At least Jeff can make his FTs
even if he looks like a drunk driver in his attempts to break a press
He'll be coming out now
He was in there for rebounding. If he stays in it’s only because Lick had an anyeurism
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
HOLY FUCKING SHIT BROMMER DID SOMETHING RIGHT
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
BROMMERBALL!
I don’t know what world I’m in anymore.

Ballgame
That was far closer than it should have been, but a win is a win. 65-60 Iowa
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Last gasp misses, Iowa wins!
WAIT WAIT WAIT THAT WAS KYLE GALLOWAY.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
I want the last 3 seconds of the broadcast
I guarantee you Kyle was clapping courtside in the very last shot. He was glorious.

the same kyle from the pic above?
LMAO

check out the old school yellow uniform...

Five questions after tonight:
(1) Where is Matt Gatens?
(2) Can someone please talk to Jake Kelly about not dribbling the ball up by his shoulders?
(3) Where is the defensive consistency from last year?
(4) Why is Andrew Brommer playing significant minutes, when all evidence shows he is little more than a tall J.R. Angle?
(5) No, serioulsly, where the fuck is Matt Gatens?
storminspank: "Or we could join you can take our pants off."
Gatens had foul trouble tonight
Had 4 fouls for a lot of the 2nd half, I think. Still would have preferred to see him touch the ball more at the end there.
I’d like to know where Fuller was. I’d like the pre-drinky Anthony Tucker to return, too.
