Storming the Court

[cpacmel]

another eerie example of rushing the court last night, when Indiana barely scores 50 in a badly played, sloppy game to beat a middle-of-the-pack conference opponent during the regular season...

One of the Indiana bloggers thought this was so sad that IU would celebreat a win like this as if it's the Superbowl......that he writes an apology this morning to all the good Hoosier fans
http://kentsterling.com/2011/01/28/sterlings-daily-apology-to-traditional-iu-basketball-fans/

" Beating Illinois at Assembly Hall should be the expectation, not the exception,
and rushing the floor is what Illinois should do their place when they beat IU."

The blogger was poking fun at the so called traditional (OLD) Indiana Fans.

The blogger you referenced didn't think it was sad at all that the fans rushed the court. He felt the complete opposite! He's ripping the older folks Indiana folks who are living off the glory years of 30 years ago.

I am happy for IU and its fans.

everyone else in the Big Ten is getting a big laugh out of it...

And after celebrating on the floor as if they'd won the NCAA Tournament...the celebration spills over into the Indiana Assembly Hall lobby and you have to watch Crean...
(it's about a minute into this Youtube..)
He's screaming, jumping up and down, pumping his arms into the air, and generally acting like he's done something that's never been done before in the history of Indiana basketball...and sadly the crowd thinks likewise.....

Again, I love it. I like that about Crean. He has slowly been trying to build out of the rubble at IU. It was a big win, for him and the program.

I say enjoy it.

I wish BU could win a big game. I wish BU could win any game.

If the worst thing someone can say about you is that you celebrated a win over a Top 25 team, then I would say you are doing okay.
