We all know by now how Indiana was ravaged in the off-season due to NBA departures (Gordon), graduation (White), and the mess left by Captain Crooked (Sampson).  Thus everyone expected Indiana to struggle.. but the Hoosiers might actually be even worse than originally thought. They’re not just bad, they’re on the verge of being all-time, Oregon State, NJIT, Savannah State, Washington Generals, bad..

 

Here are The Top 10 Signs Indiana Stinks

 

10. This guy* was their starting point guard for half the season:

 

*This little munchkin of a feller is Daniel Moore.

 

9. The administration is considering re-hiring Kelvin Sampson to illegally recruit better kids.

 

8.  If Sampson can’t be rehired, the AD’s next plan is to lure Aubrey Coleman to IU next year, so he can do some head stomping on opposing Big Ten players.

 

7.  The Hoosiers best player is white.**

 

**Tom Pritchard (12.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg)

 

6. This gal*** dominates the boys in intra-squad scrimmages.

 

***I don’t know who this is. But she apparently plays varsity basketball. Which is why I don’t watch women’s basketball. (Edit: As discovered in the comments section below, it turns out her name is Jodi Davis.. and she's apparently pretty solid, averaging 11 ppg for the 14-4 Hoosier. And she's just a sophomore.)

 

 

5.  The coaching staff is getting its advice from the Dallas Academy girl’s coach.****

 

****Dallas Academy lost 100-0 last week.

 

4. Indiana’s hired the Boom Goes the Dynamite guy to give half-time speeches.

 

 

 

3. To help his team get in better shape and lose more weight, Tom Crean has decided that players must practice in Snuggies for the rest of the season.

 

 

 

2. The next time Isiah Thomas OD’s, he vowed to blame it on Tom Crean instead of his daughter.

 

1. They lost to Northwestern.

 

 

- It goes without saying, this is all in good fun. I want Indiana to succeed as much as anybody. College basketball's just not the same when the Hoosiers are struggling. Hopefully they turn it around soon.

NJIT bad?

That's pretty bad; I don't see them falling that far.

Snuggie

"Snuggies are perfect because they're so warm and comfortable and they don't fall off when you try to use your arm." Love it.

Anytime I'm having a bad day, I watch the Boom Goes the Dynamite video and realize I don't have it as bad as that guy...

Hilarious article.

Could have done better....

No offense Shawn, but you could have done better....

Yeah, Indiana deserves to be the brunt of some jokes...

My question is, have you seen how hard these kids work during games?

Or did you just look at the overall record?

Just curious....

Fair enough, if you have any

Fair enough, if you have any better lines, feel free to post em!

Unfortunately I watch more Big Ten ball then I'd sometimes like. But I agree, compared to most other teams struggling in the power leagues (Oregon comes to mind, Depaul, etc), Indiana certainly can't be faulted for lack of effort. Nore, unlike those teams, can Tom Crean be faulted for the coaching job he's done with this crew.

Like I said above, I don't want these kids to fail.  In fact, I'm predicting that IU gets their first Big Ten win against Iowa coming up.

#32 is Jori Davis

Its been brought to my attention that #32 pictued above is Jori Davis. And she's apparently pretty solid, starting just about every game, and averaging 11 ppg. A 5-9 sophomore who I guess is a shooting guard? Also, the Hoosiers are 14-4 so they have that going for them.

Snuggies

Snuggies should hire Bob Knight as their spokesperson. That would make for one damn good infomercial

Zzzzzzz

I hate Indiana, but this article is not funny. The Boom Goes the Dynamite video is frickin hilarious, obviously, but the rest of this article sucks.

not funny...

This was really, really weak. White guy jokes? Losing to Northwestern is not the humiliation it used to be....ask Michigan State. I hope you're better than this....or you should probably try another field.
