PrintFor Indiana week, we're joined once again by John from The Crimson Quarry, SBN's Indiana blog. Despite the fact that Indiana has been one of the toughest outs on any Iowa schedule in the last decade, John is confident in his team's ability to score fewer points than the Hawkeyes over the course of sixty minutes. You have to admire his persistence; the last few years have not been good for Indiana fans.

"That piece of gum is from the first quarter"
“Also, remember that holding no-call on the 60 yard touchdown? Yeah, well, there’s some gum over in that direction.”

Was it just me
Or did it seem like the Indiana guy had that just shoot me tone to his voice? When asked for a prediction I know he said ‘31-13’ but it sounded like ’we’re going to get curb-stomped’.
Someone makes a comment like this every year. Actually, I was in a fairly good mood, and this season is par for the course for IU football, unfortunately. The tone is a result of my less-than-stellar radio voice and a general lack of charisma.

General Lack of Charisma?
That was actually on our last basketball coach’s resume as a selling point.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Maybe it's a Hoosier state thing.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Nah, Alford had plenty of personality.
It’s just that his personality was to be an asshole.

I think he's referring to Lickliter.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

But Alford was also a Hoosier, so he would qualify.

Yeah, I'd already mentioned Lick
but I’ll give Pat a pass, he’s new here.

I didn't mean your alleged lack of charisma
It was more a lack of enthusiasim. Even when I don’t think we stand a chance I hold out a glimmer of hope, I’m a homer though. Good luck with the season (after Saturday that is).
Well, I’m enthusiastic enough to keep watching this crap. I hold out a glimmer of hope, but not much more than that. When we’ve won only 3 of our last 25 last Big Ten teams, predicting victory every week would just make me look like an idiot. As it stands, if my predictions had held up, IU would be 6-2 (Michigan and NU were the ones I missed), so I’m not a complete downer. Even back when I thought IU would be a decent team, I was pessimistic about the three week stretch of Iowa, UW, and PSU.

It's a good thing Pat went with the Sunny D this week
because it’s going to be all “purple stuff” next week.

I wish I wasn't at work so I could have a toy screwdriver right now.

Sadly, I'm surrounded by actual toy screwdrivers.

Oh, that was tongue in cheek. Brewster actually would be a downgrade.

I need to work on the whole listening thing then
Should have realized no one would want a piece of Brewster

I can see how you took it that way. My intent was to make fun of Minnesota for hiring someone with such a thin resume, and jokingly pointing out that if nothing else, he now can claim head coaching experience.

Wait, he coached?
I thought Brewster was just Minnys Baghdad Bob… Wow… Guess I feel like an idiot now.
Still classic.

The only thing that could have made this better is if he hit #46 in the helmet as he walked past.
But the player didn’t know it and the camera showed him with a piece of gum stuck to his helmet on the next series.
by The Mexican't on Nov 4, 2010 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions
Sadly, the gif doesn't include how that sequence started...
IIRC, the camera focused on him as he was throwing his headset violently, THEN sprinting down the field.
I hope someone found that gum and saved it for posterity
They could stick it to The Rock or something.
This year before the game, how about someone replaces his gum with C-4?

I just love that after he chucks his gum he just stands there seething.
You’d think getting rid of the gum was a means toward yelling louder or more intelligibly, but it was actually just an exclamation point.

The reaction of #6 at the very end is also awesome.
He’s just awestruck at his coach as he’s taking the field.
