Like taking candy from a baby!

The Boilers clobbered IU today to improve to 21-6 and 10-4 in the big ten, with a big road game Thursday at Michigan. Today's game was odd, we won 81-67 even though we missed 16 free throws, looked at times like we were sleep walking, and our in your face defense wasn't up to its normal standards. However that's OK because we are playing IU and they SUCKASS! This is why I hate living in Indiana, it doesn't matter what we do we are always #2 in the eyes of the media we are 21-6, IU is 6-20 and the whole coverage from the Indy news stations was on how hard IU played. Gimme a break, when we were 9-21 a few seasons ago we played of course you play hard what else can you do?? I found myself while watching this game at Mackey not liking Tom Crean, IU's coach, he's annoying for one thing, but he from afar can almost be mistaken for an oompa loompa with his orange tan! Anyway, back to the game it was pretty much over in the first minute when E'twaun "Smooge" Moore hit back to back triples in route to 25 points and we never trailed. IU fouled and called timeouts late, and that got the best chant of the night from the Paint Crew of "Lets go home" The big news of this game was will he or won't he? Gold and Black Illustrated, and the Lafayette Journal and Courier BOTH reported that our superstar Robbie Hummel was out for the year with his back problems, so they both looked really stupid when he entered the game to a huge ovation at the 14 min mark, tonight on Lafayette Live the dude from GBI kept trying to make excuses for why they posted that story BAH. Hummel did take a nasty shot in the game, a perfectly legal screen, took him down and thankfully not his back but a head injury. What people in the stands didn't like was Tom Pritchard celebrating hurting Robbie, not cool! So, anyway we enter the stretch run chasing Michigan State we are 10-4 in big ten play they are 10-3, the crazy thing is the last game of the year for us is At Michigan State, how neat would it be if that was for the title?? GO BOILERS!

We were suppose to get another blast of winter today, but it never really materialized. They were calling for 3-5 inches of snow, but we really just got a dusting, and some ice. I am really over winter, I was over it from day 1, but now I am just plain sick of it and want it gone. BAH I need to move! Did everyone have a nice Valentines Day? I can't believe Duck didn't get his wife anything, I find that shocking! Speaking of Duck, the worlds greatest blogger, he has started a brand new blog and I think you should check it out. I suck at linking things, I either screw up my whole blog, delete my links, or it just doesn't work, so head over to my links and click on Duck's name.

American Idol update. So the first group went on Tuesday night, which included resident nutjob Tatiana. I first have to say the girls weren't impressed you didn't bring it. I agreed with 2 of the people that got through, the blonde girl with pink stripe, and widow guy both deserved it, not sure if Michael did or not I think his personality got him through. I thought Tatiana held it together for the most part til she realized she didn't make it then it was welcome back nutjob! I wonder if they will bring her back for the wild card show? Do you guys that watch like that they went back to the old format of just getting to see them sing once, or do you like how they did it last year girls and guys singing multiple times? Anyone watch Top Chef? I love that show, I can't even imagine how great that kitchen smells! I am rooting for Carla to win, but I think she's a longshot, her personality is AWESOME! I can't stand Stefan but I am afraid he's going to be the winner. ho hum.

Have a great Sunday!
