Interesting

After watching a really bad Muncie Central team and listeining to the faithful start the talk about firing the coach that went 70 games with 5 or 6 losses and 2 state runner ups to Greg oden and mike Conley I came home and checked in on the IU message board to find it in a state of disarray.

THis story is kind of nice as it looks at the game post game and recaps the presser

there are a good many threads on this IU board that shows how a board has certain predictable reactions to a loss. Just 2 to start with  but a good many in there. Got to laugh at the southwestern part of the state supporting our state higher learning institution when the "real in expectations" while every other rival board goes off the deep end talking about Indiana's vulnerabilities. Message boards are so bipolar in nature and the bigger the expectations the more whacky they get. Glad BA is so even keeled and NEVER goes on a roller coaster ride.

Enjoy.........and remember....it is really just a game.

A lot of jerking of the knees goes on after a team loses a game that most think they should win.  Fans have expectations when teams do well, and when they don't meet those expectations, it's often 12-21-12 on the Mayan calendar.
