I don't know why, but this team completely stinks up the joint every 3 or 4 games. Unfortunately, today was one of those stink-bombs as IU falls to NW by a score of 78-61.
It should be noted that Mick was at this game. I point this out because this poor guy sees nothing but painfully bad performances by his teams when he attends live. Trust me, I know because I am usually with him. I sat today out to get ready for the Super Bowl, but Mick and I (and a few others that read this blog) have become way too familiar with IU losses at Northwestern. This trend actually started way before Sampson tore the program down. Mick and I also saw the Packers lose their first playoff game ever at Lambeau Field several years back. Not only was that one a loss, it was a 41-7 beat-down to that dog-fightin' ring-leader and the Atlanta Falcons. So, Mick, sorry I couldn't enjoy today's gem with you. Better luck next year.
This game started with NW taking a 21-6 lead in the first 8 minutes of the game and this one was never a contest. The closest the Hoosiers were able to get was 9 points very briefly and they found themselves down by as many as 20 in the second half.
Verdell Jones was very impressive. Verdell had 28 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and went 12-13 from the line.
Unfortunately, Verdell was really the only guy that showed up. The Hoosiers shot 2-17 from the arc and that just ain't gonna get it done.
I thought one player that could have made a difference was Dumes. We often talk about good Devan and bad Devan. Well, it was nothin' but bad Devan today. Dumes was 0-7 from the field, including 0-5 from the arc with one of those 3-pointers looking like a Scott Norwood field goal attempt on Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaking of the Super Bowl, I say we go ahead and forget about this game and focus on the Super Bowl.
Prediction: Colts 34 Saints 30
Go Colts!

I completely agree with the above post. That game was like "getting touched in the guv." I am still upset over the Purdue loss. I was still numb from the pain when I heard IU lost to NW. NW now owns us. Can it get any worse?
i think it was also well put when he said to settle the boob amicably.
