You Can Crack IU's Nuts For Half-Price

You, too, can teabag IU.

It's Oaken Bucket week and some lonely purchasing manager at Hobby Lobby is in deep doo-doo. Reader Anna sent in this photo, taken at a Lafayette Hobby Lobby a week before Thanksgiving. 

So I guess either Hobby Lobby has more IU nutcrackers than they could possibly hope to sell...OR they expect Purdue to slaughter IU on Saturday and want to move them as fast as possible...OR they realized that they're in fricking Lafayette. 

Either way, what better way to spend the holidays than saying "Eat DEEZ NUTS, IU!" every time you put one in this guy's chopper.

Question of the Day: Do You Root for IU on Friday?

I'm the first to admit that beating a team for a third time in a season is no gimme. That said, let's pretend for a second that it is. Alright, now pretend it's about 9:00 on Friday night. We all want to see a re-match between Purdue and IU, but that means IU must also win. Do you root for the Hoosiers?


It's not like IU will be playing Duke or some other evil entity, it'll be the cuddly Gophers (probably). So, as a Purdue fan, can you bring yourself to root for the Hoosiers, even for just one sultry regretful night? I think I can...Oh, I think I will.

I'm sure, I'll wake up the next morning feeling used, dirty and disgusting, but I want a damned rematch so much that I'll get into bed, at least for a few hours, with the enemy. Let's hope the 6:30 game goes according to plan first and then we have the opportunity to make such a choice.
