The Circus has Reached Bloomington, IN

[RDF]

Before this gets moved to other board--let it stay for at least an hour--it's too topical to move immediately and it involves a guy who is not very well liked on the board, addresses his "Act", and brings up how lucky Georgetown is to have a coach who wouldn't stoop to this level on recruiting trail.

CREEPY Tom Crean is having his assistants go around wearing those Candy-Striped Warm Up pants so recruits know "IU is in the house" and according to IU Assistant Benny Seltzer, "Coach Crean will also be donning the pants, so the kids know we're in the house".

It's INDIANA BASKETBALL and this guy is taking his "Bearded lady" act to Bloomington after Phone Boy left? First the "Crimson and CREAN" t-shirts--which play off Hoosiers "Crimson and Creme" colors/nickname, and now he's doing this to get attention. He took over a traditionally strong program at Marquette that needed to be revived--and then when he joined Big East--he behaved like a moron and eventually figured out that kids watch Big East basketball--so you don't need to be PT Barnum--but then he goes to Indiana--and feels need to do this? Are you kidding me?

I honestly think Crean is the most annoying figure in CBB right now. Being he's in Vegas, GOOD RIDDANCE to this clown!!!

Edited. He may be creepy to you but any futher allegations are inappropriate for this baord.--Admin

Sorry, but IMO the most annoying figure is Mr. Whine himself, Coach K.

First, isn't/wasn't Tom Arnold already on cocaine? Anywho, I digress. But picking the MOST annoying? That's a tough one. Coack K and Crean are definitely up there. But then you can't not include Calhoun, Pitino and (I cry more than a colicky infant) Boeheim.

I'm looking forward to a photo of all the IU schmucks in matching pants. hahahahaha! How would you not laugh at them if you were the recruits?

Embarrassing ploy to get attention.

I wasn't accusing Crean of being on coke--I said he looks like Tom Arnold did when he was a coke addict--that is not an accusation--that is a fact--Tom Arnold is a recovering cocaine addict and Crean looks like Tom during his snorting days. If that is insuating Crean is using--I think you need to read it again. Someone can appear to resemble someone--like the board edits sometime resemble people with no sense of humor. ;D

I tend to like IU's warmups. In the words of the guys at the end of The Incredibles, no school like the old school. It's so square that it's cool.

But the truly awesome part of the 1974 Hoya photo is the bulldog. We need it back on Yates' halfcourt.

What Favre is going to suit up for the Big 10 season? I'm confused...

On the grander scale, was that really what the Admin warning was about? You can't suggest that someone might be using coke on an internet board? Wow, I think I have probably seen a little bit worse than that, even though that wasn't what RDF was saying anyway.

Personally, I think Lawrence Taylor was on coke sometimes when he was playing, as well as Mercury Morris. I think Michael Vick has probably played on coke before. Uh-oh ... was that an unacceptable accusation ??

This post proves that even the mods don't pay any attention to hifi.
