What Are You Doing Until October 15?

April 18th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

It’s been a week since we last spoke. How you holdin’ up? Have you put it behind you yet? Is the pain gone? Or do you still find yourself what-iffing our tournament run out loud during breakfast to the point that your wife and kids are even sicker to death of your nonsense than they [...]

I Don’t Think We Have Anyone Who is Getting to Old for the Shit

April 11th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

It’s official. Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo have chosen to enter the NBA draft. I’ll not get into shoulds or shouldn’ts. It’s not my decision. No one even asked me, if you can believe that! I will say that anyone who takes the position that either of them should come back for another year and [...]

The Straight Line from Kevin Ware’s Broken Leg to Tijan Paying to Have His Number Retired

April 5th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

Earlier this week Adidas and the University of Louisville placed on sale on their standard “Rise to the Occasion” T-Shirts but this one had Kevin Ware’s jersey number, 5, on the back. This brought the ire of many, as this t-shirt could be seen by the most cynical the attentive among us as a money [...]

In Which I Try to Answer Why This Happened

March 30th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

I should be watching IU play Marquette right now, but instead I’m at a California Pizza Kitchen glancing across the room at the TV showing the East Regional Final and getting pissed off all over again. And the question I keep coming back to is “why?”. Why aren’t we playing right now? Why did the [...]

An Open Letter to Tom Crean

March 29th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

Dear Tom Crean, I feel it is my duty, as the voice of reason, to congratulate you. You have made it. You’ve reached a goal you never knew you had. You have disappointed Indiana basketball fans. It’s not the first time they’ve been critical of you. You got your share over Matt Roth, and for [...]

Thank You, Bo Ryan

March 28th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

Thank you Bo Ryan. I was tempted to make that the entirety of my post-Temple reaction because I think it’s self contained and fairly explanatory. But I pay myself per word and I need more imaginary internet dollars than that. This is why playing in the Big Ten is good for you. This is why [...]

I Can Help You Fill Out Your Bracket. Using Personality Science.

March 19th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

I’m not going to dedicate many column inches to our play in the Big Ten Tournament for a few reasons. 1. I don’t have much to say about beating Illinois, which I was pretty certain we’d do. 2. I don’t have much to say about us losing to Wisconsin, which I wasn’t a bit surprised [...]

I’m ANGRY! and hugging and crying and happy and ANGRY! and happy and crying

March 13th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

Tom Crean had quite the fifteen minute stretch on Sunday. It was the general sort of sequence that only the genius possess and the insane lament. But before we get to that, let’s take a few minutes to look at the first half of the game, when the internet thought he couldn’t coach. Again. We [...]

What You’re Feeling is Actually Rain

March 7th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

I have no interest in telling you a tale. I will not, as Sipowicz so eloquently put it, piss in your ear and tell you it’s raining. That was bad. The loss to Ohio State, at home, on Senior night, with the chance to clinch the outright Big Ten title was bad. But, as part [...]

Big Ten Champs (Now What?)

March 5th, 2013 by Jeff Taylor

This was never the goal. It wasn’t the goal at the beginning of the season. It wasn’t the goal last December. It wasn’t the goal in April, 2008. It was never the goal, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a big deal. With our victory over Iowa on Saturday night and the wins by Purdue [...]
