Tonight is Hoosier Hysteria at it best! Purdue plays at IU. For the first time in many years, both teams are ranked in the top 15. This should be a great game. The media is getting all excited about the great story line about all the freshman players, Purdon't shirts, and talking about Matt Painter's chances of being the National Coach of the Year. How I wish I could be there!

And, have you heard? IU's coach is a cheater! And, obviously an inept cheater since the NCAA has now caught him twice. Maybe his next job can be with the Patriots.

I really do wish that IU's administration would clean up their act and hire a good, solid coach who is also a likable human being. Basketball's integrity needs to be preserved, especially in a state with such a strong basketball history.

I'm noticing that this is my third post in a row about basketball. Don't worry, we'll get back to Jacob updates. (He's working on walking and is really proud of himself, especially when he walks the length of the kitchen. We have also been reading Purdue 101 and practicing saying "Boiler Up!", complete with hand motions.)
