POTFH

Should be an interesting game. No doubt The Hall should be rocking and hope we get out to a quick start and take some of the air out of that dump.

Purdue will need to keep their cool and limit early fouls and turnovers. Hit smart shots and let Zach feast.

If IU doesn't have Geronimo, XJ and JHS has an off shooting night, I don't see how they beat us.
 
It's iu game time.
Just wanted to make sure you say your daily "POTFH".

By the way, do they still play 'hail fire' in Mackey and finish it with a healthy "IU SUCKS!"
No, they don’t say IU sucks collectively. When I was in school nobody said IU sucks since there were bigger problems happening. As time when on it seemed more and more people were distracted and not aware that IU sucked. Ignorance set in and it became more obvious that far too many people were unaware the IU sucked and was now a potential threat to intelligent life was everywhere we looked. As true throughout history someone took the first step to make people aware of this huge, growing problem and try to correct it before it was too late.

Others joined in to share the obvious for others that had been distracted. Soon, the seeds started to flourish, and more and more people were awakened. Still, this original local awareness had only spread throughout the state and the concern was the ignorance of other areas having no understanding and any potential causes of despair that might result. Inside the hearts of a few messengers to share the story with others was the result of telling other teams…other people in all sorts of venues that IU sucked…to spread the word across this magnificent country until just a few years ago when it was believed that the gospel was sufficiently shared and that some responsibility belongs with the individuals to hold and never lose this understanding so crucial to a better country and so the chant ended in Mackey.

As a historian of abnormal psychology and the behavior of those afflicted, I will probably not be alive should a cleansing of the souls of so many need restored with so many thoughts perished like “some” of those of Flavius Josephus on the destruction of the temple… Though I have never participated personally of such deeds, I was totally aware of the underlining threat and a need for a group of individuals to step forward to try to make the place better for future generations. Now that is a reader digest version as listing all the incidents and examples could not be contained in a normal library.

Did you take Consumer Psych with the Prof that made a ton consulting with Kellogs? Can;t remember his name, but I had dinner with he and his wife several times. A diamond for Purdue's Psych dept.

No...just thought the background explaining the need for the chant was due knowing some of the younger ones possibly not knowing the origin and evolution. Don't tell anyone, but my background in abnormal psychology is limited to a few writings outside this place. ;) I just had the usual plus one Soc 100, Psy 120 and Social Psy 350

abnormal Psych was a great class. I still have the textbook. 54 years later ... and no, I have not opened it in 54 years
 
When I was in school, I wrote a letter to President Beering and the AD suggesting that during freshmen orientation, they spend an hour with the incoming freshman class on a class called "Hating IU 101".
I was totally serious.
Actually, I've experienced some doctors out of IUPUI that were very reasonable and Kim has shared a really good guy that was maybe Crean's best friend that handled graduation at IU to be reasonable and so there are some, and I think after some time the actions of many others dissipate and become responsible citizens outside the indoctrination prevalent into so many course offerings at a school that offers so many subjective courses.

I recall an abnormal psych class. Big lecture hall. Lots of girls in short skirts (it was the 70’s). The prof came out and jumped behind the microphone, looked a little nuts with hair all eschew, and said,”This is the class about sex and crazy people!”. He got my attention…
 
I want IU to be a full strength and healthy. I hope Race, X, Geronimo, Jane, Scott May’s arm, whatever, are all ready to go. Give these young Boilers the toughest environment to play in, win or lose. This game will do nothing but help them come March and hopefully, April.
I suspect the pressure supplied at IU will be that of potential falling beams, fans tripping you, fans generally pulling the hair on your leg when taking the ball out of bounds and threatening you like the 75 year old man did to Ryan Cline. Sure IU will apply defensive pressure as well and maybe some offensive pressure and so fear of injury is a secondary pressure not felt in the tourney. There you only hae to win ;)

and definitely bring back Knight. That worked out well.

Yes, mine was in a huge lecture hall too ... a few years before your and not the same Prof, but similar skirts. Them were the days!!!

I flew to Phoenix sitting next to a couple who were both physicians in Indy. They were both O$U grads. They were aghast at their IU coworkers who worshiped the idols in their offices. They loved O$U, but not like they were in a cult. They honestly had minor fear of the IU people. Wondering if they could be trusted.
 
I won't predict a win on Saturday as much as I want one. And, I really want one after reading stupid crap like this from an IU fan:

"On the Facebook thread of this article a comment was made that IU needed to play a near perfect game to win this one. Why?
To be clear this will be a bit of a passive aggressive dig at Coaches recruiting.
Talent wise IU is by far the most talented team between the two, yeah so Edey is tall, he is not very polished and his star rating out of high school I doubt he was a 5. Smith not nearly good enough to be recruited heavily by IU and wouldn’t see the floor except maybe mop up time. Loyer why would IU recruit this kid slow can’t jump never play at IU. Now Furst IU recruited but he’s a PU guy.
Odd their PG, SG,and big man not IU level talent but we need a perfect game from our 4-5 stars to win."

POTFH, indeed!
 
Meandering blather. Nonsensical nonsense. But some wisdom in their unproductive recruiting style. Where is that best in the nation PG ... what was his name? Christ something?

Someone replied and asked “they aren’t good enough to be recruited by IU but some how they can start for the #1 team in the country?”

I had one dentist that way and another that quit and just started flying people around that was okay. My dentist today went to Purdue for a year and he is sane. My previous doctor was great and I have no idea where he went to school. Dad was an engineer. The one before that was a ME from Purdue until he went back to school and he was sane. Guy that did my hip replacement was fine and his dad was an engineer and mom...can't recall both Purdue grads. Some place sports at an appropriate level and don't need their esteem boosted by some player or team.

The "IU SUCKS" chant at games was discouraged by Purdue. You all may not be able to hear it, but when the band plays Hail Fire, my neighbors probably hear me yell "IU SUCKS" at my TV.

Yeah well I'm generally like Mount Vesuvius simmering below, but when Mason was called for a block rather than getting a very clear charge there was a minor eruption when he was setting up for the double just outside the lane at mid post that I didn't think was that hard of a call...and there was a WTF rather loud and it wasn't Why The Face.

There are some things in life that a person sometimes comes across that make your head spin. Sometimes there is no rational discourse that can be had, and you just hope they don't vote since you can see they are driven by emotion more than logic while obviously void of all relevant knowledge in particular domain in question...but did that stop the expression???? Welcome to the Internet...
 
One of my minors was Psychology. Abnormal was my favorite.
I took 3 Psych classes after 102. Loved them all. Abnormal was really interesting. The Prof was one strange dude. Psychology of Human Sexuality was the wildest. In class porno movies. Psychology of Personality helped me understand why women found (find?) me so repulsive.

That class helped me too. As the prof went through the material on. psychopaths and sociopaths, I suddenly realized what was going on in the head of my past girl friend. I think I dodged a bullet in getting away from her!

That's unfortunate that someone was concerned about hurting some iu fans feelings. It was funny. Let kids be kids. Best of all, iu people absolutely hated it.
 
What is with all this stuff from the IU side about “We are more talented than Purdue”??

i naively thought talent equates to winning basketball games. It includes the cerebral as much as the physical elements of being a player. Maybe they are still living in the players‘ high school days and are comparing rankings ? Gosh, TJD is a five star and Edey was unranked, so in their minds it is a no-contest game. TJD should dominate in every way. Every game I’ve watched between them, even when IU won one, Edey was the dominate player with far more of that elusive “talent”.

i hate to think it, but maybe this odd IU perspective is driven by the color of the players skin. Maybe Purdue is not “black enough” to be talented at basketball? That‘s an ugly thought, which I hope is not the source of this talent statement. Who knows?

That was definitely a Why The Face moment. I may never understand how a referee can be standing a few feet from a play and get an obvious call wrong. Since this thread has meandered into psychology, I would love to see a study where referees are shown video of their blown calls and asked to explain what they saw in the moment, and after seeing it on video, do they still believe it was the correct call.

I believe it is directly tied to, as you alluded, the ranking services.

Not much measuring 'talent' through workout measurables or skin color. When a kid like Khristian Lander was deemed a high-level talent by opposing fan bases it was because of the stars next to his name. Same with Cody Zeller. Turns out Lander was a nice kid who wasn't strong, quick, or decisive - that's now confirmed at his second school. He was considered 'talented' because as a high school soph he was an early five star. He started to slide as a junior, re-classified before he slid a bunch more, and therefore was still considered talented even though he clearly was not.

That's an anecdotal example, but seems to fit how this can happen. Usually the 'talent rankers' get it right. TJD, Hood-Schifino, and Reneau are the highest 'talent' assessed recruits on IU currently, and they are indeed talented. The next two? Bates (not especially talented - a nice shooting stroke but not much more) and Duncomb (not talented by most any measure). Duncomb was white, but was supposed to be more talented than CJ Gunn, who cna run and jump out of the gym. The most underrated but hyper-talented on IU? Xavier Johnson. Extremely quick and strong, but the number 236 composite recruit. Leal was considered more 'talented' coming out of high school -- so very not true.

For Purdue? Kaufman and to an extent Newman were adjudged the two of the highest level 'talents' by the rating services. Nope - wasn't true.
