Outside the Hall

I’m not sure it was deliberate given the copious amounts of awful Big officiating in recent years, but it was certainly bad timing. What I want to see is some acknowledgement and accountability in Big officiating. #iubb

That game was won by the six points the officials gave the Nebraska the chance to make. Gross. And to have to listen to the commentators make excuses and talk about how impressive the win was was insulting. I haven’t felt so disgusted with a game in awhile.

Really frustrated with the 6 point swing predicated by some really awful officiating that started Nebraska’s comeback. And then the commentators making excuses for the refs was truly infuriating. #iubb

I just heard an announcer say "Alabama will try to take down the top seeded Indiana Hoosiers." In. Football.

What a world.

Literally the first football conference game I ever watched, so that tracks.

Soon the painful part of basketball season will be over and I’ll be able to get back to the fun part of the season: looking forward to how great next season will be.

Seriously. It is a gamble to foul at the end of games to try anything to win. We would’ve been better off giving up and not fouling and letting them win by 4. The NET is stupid and incentivizes blowing out easy games and hedging on close games.

Ugh. I so hate the NET. I swear it has never worked in our favor and that game was so much closer than 9. Ugh. Garbage. #iubb

Frustrating coaching search… again. All I want is a proven coach without obvious baggage. And it’s starting to feel like you can’t have one without the other.

Is an unreasonable miracle to save the mediocrity I have allowed to dictate my emotions really too much to ask?

I can’t understand why more plays weren’t focused on getting the ball to Goode towards the end of that game. He was draining shots and making big plays to keep us in it, but they weren’t feeding him the ball. I don’t get it. #iubb

Sigh. #iubb

Galloway taking a flat-footed 3 instead of getting it to the hot hand Goode was probably not the best moment of the game. #iubb

Could you imagine some dream person that would somehow fulfill both criteria at the same time???

So hear me out. What if last time around our shrine game was just too weak? #iubb

19-2 or something like that? I’ve always watched whole games as a matter of principle, but everything in the world is too awful for me to make myself even more miserable watching the total lack of pride and competitiveness on display to start this game.

#iubb

This is unreal. I yelled and got out of my seat for the first time this season at that Goode 3. Let’s goooo!!! #iubb

Every time I open the other site out of habit I scroll about one phone-screen’s-worth of posts and wonder why I did that before coming back here.

You know, I feel bad, but I feel worst for Leal.

Seeing Geronimo cheering his new team on was a real bummer and reflects how the game is now, but Leal played his heart out and truly cares about IU.
