Quick thought- is it possible that Purdue's best basketball is still ahead in the '08/'09 season even with Hummel's nagging injury? Perhaps...
Here are a couple more lousy camera phone shots (special thanks to my brother) from last night along with some of my favorite AP shots...I won't tell you which ones are which.
I think she actually just spray painted her legs

Your brother's name is John Underwood?
1) "Tight Pants Silly Shirt" tag -- that sounds like the name of an Iowa blog.
2) Would anyone have been against Dickie V going to sip some tea with honey back in his hotel room while EA took to the mic with Schulman? I think THAT would have been awesome.
3) Speaking of EA, I love her as much as anyone, but I was really amused at her sideline reporting when she was letting us know how sick LewJack was and she breathlessly told us how "as soon as he came to the bench during that last timeout, a trainer handed him some gatorade."
Oh, so you mean, during a time out in a college basketball game, an athlete drank some gatorade?
Now THAT'S reporting.
Hmmm....The powers of deduction tell me that the pictures taken from the exact same perspective were taken by one person from one seat. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say those are the AP pictures and your brother was allowed to roam Mackey and take whatever pictures he wanted. Plus, camera phones are renowned for their ability to capture fast moving objects.
Great pictures. Great win. Great game.

By over-analyzing the pics of JJ, I can tell that the same man in woman in both pictures were in the exact same pose with the exact same look of half-interest, as if sitting at a high school play in which their kid was in charge of the lighting...
The white uniforms are okay - kind of "meh" to me. I don't think they are better than what we had. I think I would be more interested in the gold ones next year.
You guys are super-perceptive.
I think we are all in agreement about a couple of things as it relates to our Green and White bretheren to the North - 1) as a general rule, we like them and their coach for a number of reasons and 2) every fan base has its fair share of clinical morons. For a few prime examples of #2, take a look at the last few comments on the game thread on the Spartan Weblog

C'mon guys - Kramer would piss me off if he were on another Big Ten squad too, but to paint yourselves as an athletic, up-and-down team while labeling Purdue as "5 gumpy hacks" smacks of a blindness to the game that is rarely seen outside of Ed Hightower's basement
Listening to Vitale made me want to clear my own throat
Mmmm, Catwoman... Mee-OOOWWW!
Leroy -- we try not to judge a fanbase based upon the ignorant voice of a few sour grapes-spewing bozos. When we detest a fan base, it's usually because our myriad experiences with their fans (and/or athletes and coaches) all result in a similar feeling. MSU is not like that.... they have a lot of respectful fans and they generally really know their hoops. As they should, with as good a program as Izzo runs.
I'm with dowd on liking Izzo, too. It's one of those things where you feel guilty liking him but he's just a good coach and seems to have the right approach. He does look like he's going burst a blood vessel sometimes, but that goes with the territory.
J- I'm totally on board with liking the MSU fan base. They are generally knowledgeable and have an appreciation for good, hard-nosed D and solid all-around team play. Probably my 2nd favorite Big Ten squad (despite family ties to both OSU and Iowa). Some of those comments are simply the exceptions that prove the rule.
Only negative I can point to on Izzo is that he foisted the Forehead upon us
Nothing but respect for Izzo and the MSU program.
Oh, and as for his "Remember this!" comment.... well, I'd have said that, too. I doubt it was all about Riddel's shot, because, really, it wasn't that big a slap, if at all. I imagine it was more meant to be "Remember this whole night, and how you got thoroughly beaten." Good teams do remember things like that and, just as our boys were clearly up for this game, MSU will be ready, I have no doubt. In fact, beating them that soundly is probably a bad thing, with regard to playing them in East Lansing.
I used to think that HBV (Hightower, Burr, Valentine) hated us but I realize now that they are just poor, poor officials. As much as we got away with mugging them on the perimeter, they got away with hacking our guys at the basket. There were 4 blatant fouls on shots including the absolute mugging of Hummel one of the first plays of the game. HBV (sounds kind of like an STD doesn't it...) should really be given a hard look by the Big Ten, because they are just terrible. Great game overall by the Boilermakers though, I love the emergence of Johnson.
Paul - it will never happen. They have been calling games in the Big 11 since it was only 10 teams (well, at least Hightower and Burr have). It would take a very larger mistake (such as gambling or ignoring a fight) to get them kicked out of Big 11 game work.
Illini bite the dust, what a wierd game.
Sweeeeet!!
Eat it Illini Fans
說起這位明英宗朱祁鎮 真是好有一比:在北京高峰時酒店經紀段開車:生不完的氣。
先說年號問題，明朝皇帝在位時間再長， 酒店兼差年號也只有一個，惟獨他特殊，在位總共不過十五年，年號卻有兩個，前一個叫正統，後一個叫天順。倒不是因為他非要搞特權，兩個年號之間， 禮服店是由一大堆可氣的事串起來的。
先說正統朝，差不多是地球酒店打工人都知道的，這麼多的忠良幹才他不信任，偏寵信一個教書先生出身的太監王振， 一幹閹党把國家禍害得烏煙瘴氣。後來瓦剌犯邊，忠臣良將的苦勸不聽，偏聽死太監攛掇，非要御駕親徵， 合法酒店經紀帶著幾十萬人牛氣哄哄出了長城，按說既然親徵你就好好 打啊，他不，走到半道又後悔了，連敵人影 酒店工作都沒見著就撤兵，撤兵麼撤得快點啊，跑還沒跑成，讓人家圍在土木堡包了餃子，稀裏糊塗一場 酒店上班混戰，幾十萬大軍全死 光，連本人也當了俘虜。丟人到如此，實在可氣。
英宗被抓到蒙古高原上去啃生羊肉了， 酒店兼職爛賬總要有人收拾。皇帝讓人綁了，敵人打到家門口了，總不成學宋朝 來個衣冠南渡吧！還好喝酒 有他親弟弟給他收拾，弟弟朱祁鈺繼承帝位，改年號為景泰，可氣的正統朝總算結束了。景泰帝信用 酒店PT良臣于謙，成功組織北京保衛戰打垮敵 人，再運用外交壓力，逼得酒店喝酒 瓦剌把英宗放回來當太上皇，總算不用學宋徽宗那樣客死他鄉。折騰半天，祖宗江山差點丟了不說 禮服酒店，皇位也折騰沒了。這樣的鬧劇，怪不 得別人。
雖是傻事敗事一籮筐，但傻人總算有傻福，雖說皇位沒了， 台北酒店經紀
命還是保住了，回來舒舒服服過太上皇的日子倒也 不交際應酬 錯，可他不消停，拉幫結派培植私人勢力，幾年後趁著弟弟病重搞了場“奪門之變”。奪粉味 回了皇位不說，上臺第一件事就是殺掉了功臣于謙。並把當初北京保衛戰 的功臣們來了個大清洗，掌握朝政大權的都是徐有貞、石亨、曹吉祥等一幫姦險小人。雖然過了沒幾年，這幾個人也被明英宗清算，下獄的下獄（石亨），充軍的充 軍（徐有貞） 寒假打工，被殺的被殺（曹吉祥），可明朝的政治氣象，還是一片烏煙瘴氣。
皇位奪回來了，自然就要改年號。於是，明英宗 兼差改年號為天順。從正統年到天順年，打敗仗，殺忠良，寵小人，亂國家，儘是他辦的敗事，每每讀史到此，不知有多少人氣得直哆嗦。
可正統朝的事畢竟年頭遠了，真正給後 暑假打工世攢下麻煩的，是天順朝。
“天順”麼，按字面意思，自然有風調雨順的意思。 打工從這個意義上說，“天順”朝時代的明朝，運氣還真不 壞，別的且不說，單說綁過明英宗票的瓦剌，那在土木堡創下擊敗明朝幾十萬大軍，活捉明朝皇帝偉業的瓦剌首領也先，沒死在大對頭明朝手裏，倒在內戰中被一刀 砍死。到了天順朝時期，瓦剌又和鄰居韃靼打個不停，因此，雖然少了良將於謙，但終天順一朝的邊 酒店境形勢，還算是太平無事。
