Funny how this one, the least egregious of the three, is the one he gets punished the most for. Just no idea wtf he's thinking when it's pretty clear what he's doing and yet he throws a temper tantrum like a child when he gets caught.
It's not just Duke, I think it's that way for most schools. And in college football, all fanbases seem to hate their own white LBs/DBs.Why is it always the White Guy on Duke we hate.

I don't remember the other incidents but this one was pretty egregious in my opinion. He gets beat on defense so he swings his leg out and kicks the other guy behind the knee bringing him down. Just a completely dirty shot with no attempt to disguise it. That and the tantrum on the bench make me think he's a psychopath.
Well, I didn't say this one wasn't egregious. In this one both guys were already tripping over themselves, and he intentionally extends a motion he was already making. The other two from last year were even worse as they were completely out of nowhere jabbing a leg out at an angle nothing like what he was otherwise doing. And IIRC he didn't get any punishment for either of those for some reason.
Brutal loss for Butler @ St. John's. Butler is 0-2 in true road games so far against bad teams.

Sounds like the flight home was even more brutal.
Lost cabin pressure.
But still undefeated against the top 25 after ending #1 Villanova's 20-game win streak.
In addition to math, science, and language studies, our schools should be teaching personal finance and logic, both of which are key to personal success and wisdom -- and which are seriously lacking in the general population.
If I ever got on a plane and I found a Soccer team or a Basketball team on the flight I think I would have to cause a ruckus so I'd get kicked off that flight.

What's the over under until he does it again?
Eff LBD!
Just wish we would play like either Butler or Wisconsin....I'm sure most Indiana (Hoosier) fans do.

BTW, #23 Notre Dame beat #9 Louisville last night too.
It might have been a bad autumn of football in our state, but college basketball season is carrying along nicely after its roaring start...
Sagarin through Wednesday's games
13.) Purdue
17.) Butler
24.) Notre Dame
25.) Indiana
81.) Valparaiso
101.) Fort Wayne -- apparently their athletics have rebranded from IPFW to plain old Fort Wayne
The only teams with more than one victory against the Sagarin top 25:
Butler (4-0) -- they have the #9 toughest schedule played so far
Baylor (4-0)
Louisville (4-3)
Gonzaga (3-0)
Villanova (3-1)
Florida State (2-0)
Indiana (2-3)
Temple (2-2)
Baylor wins again. If we win this weekend, we should be Number 1. But mid season rankings are meaningless.
After years of fighting and a split, guess what, we are all IndyCar
October will always be a sad racing month for me. RIP Greg and Dan. You both were great and we miss you.
Butler has laid some eggs on the road @ St. John's and ISU. Butler seems to play at the level of competition, something IU appears to do quite often the last few years. However, Crean continues to provide fodder for the fan base and media for his head scratching rotations. Too many primadonna's to try to give minutes?
Just watched the Butler/Villanova game, and that was fun basketball to watch!
Please remember to keep the Crean talk in the dedicated IU thread. That topic tends to get ugly and flood threads once it gets started.
(Although I haven't seen TD in a while. Anybody hear from him lately?)
Going to be a lot of Badger fans watching PIP or on two TVs today with the Purdue game starting ten minutes before the Packer game. Ugh.
Sucks for CBS. They were going to show WIS/PUR at either 1:00 or 4:30, depending on which slot CBS received for the Wild Card. When they got the early game (MIA/PIT), they settled on 4:30.
They just got unlucky that FOX was carrying the Packers at the same time. I imagine the Packers will get a much higher share than the Badgers will.
(Boiler Up!)
"indefinite"Fresh off a brutal 1 game suspension
Yeah, most people will choose the playoff football game over the regular season basketball game, while some will do PIP like we will. Percentage wise, not too many will pick basketball over a Packer playoff game. I may try and watch the basketball game up until half while DVRing the Packers and go PIP after that. But it is really hard to avoid scores and I just do not enjoy watching sports when I know the outcome so I may simply go PIP and switch back and forth (big/small screen) from the start. Debated bringing up a second TV but likely won't.
I will be watching my Boilers, and flipping to the game during breaks in the B1G action.
BOILER UP!!!!!
It is definitely easier if your home team isn't in the opposite NFL slot.
Absolutely!
Purdue's Swanigan is a beast, and he's playing like one again tonight. PU out shooting WI 55%-38% so far.
Swanigan will be gone after this year so we better enjoy him while he's here. Purdue looked very solid yesterday except for the turnovers. I hope they can build consistency. I opted to watch the NFL game and DVR the Purdue game. Turned off the cell phone and stayed off the internet so as to not get spoilers. It was a great afternoon - evening of sports viewing on a cold January day.

Granted it's early January, but the Baylor Bears are ranked No. 1 for the first time ever in Men's Basketball. And the Lady Bears are No. 2 for good measure in the Women's polls.
We will see how long it lasts, seeing that we take on No. 10 West Virginia tomorrow night in Morgantown, then travel to No. 25 Kansas State Saturday, and we go to No. 2 Kansas on February 1.
But it will be nice while it lasts!!!!!!!!
Sic 'em Bears!!!!!!!!
Why does the only active college basketball thread have to be discriminatory?
Mine you that I'm not particularity interested in talking about I.U. Basketball this season... I'm just against most "isms" especially when people flaunt theirs in the thread title.
It wasn't discriminatory in any way. There was already an IU thread. By your definition, that was "discriminatory," although I didn't have any problem with it.
Because IU debates (typically a re-hash about how Crean is a great recruiter but terrible bench coach and such) often overwhelm regular CBB threads, it made perfect sense to have a non-IU thread in addition to the IU thread.
Glad I could clear that up for you (and it was touched on a couple times previously in this thread). Maybe just ask for the clarification next time, and save the snark in case the explanation isn't completely reasonable.
I was making fun of the fact that none of us I.U. fans have had much to say recently about I.U. Basketball thread... to the point it's fallen off the front page.
Sometimes when I poke... I'm just poking myself.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
