I'm going to go out on a limb and say not next season at Mackey. The following season will be our best team, possibly ever (Kramer/Grant seniors, Rob/E't/JJ juniors, LewJack soph, not to mention where the '09 class players will be). The first season where I think IU could even be favored in a game against Purdue would be Hummel/Moore/Johnson's senior season (assuming they stay). A lot can change, but we may be able to put a nice little run of victories together and parlay that into keeping a stranglehold on in-state talent. |

We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

It's either 11-12 or never. If Crean doesn't get it done in 11-12, there's a good chance IU gets their next "great" coach. |

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That'd be season 4. The heat would be turning up if he hasn't reached the second weekend of the tournament by then (something he has done one time). I'd love nothing more for Purdue's nobody recruits (the only good class was the '07 "lucky" class) to go into Bloomington and be the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't see anyone who played on the team last year to lose to IU again. |

Are you at all surprised? I'm just waiting for an explanation. My guess: "I mean, IT'S INDIANA!!!!" Thats what usually comes out when there is no logical explanation to their reasoning. |

All Crean needs to do is take his players into Assembly Hall and show them the banners. Painter just can't compete with that. :sarcasm: |

Much as I hate to say it, IU is tough to beat in Assembly Hall. I do not see Crean winning in Mackey for quite some time, but rivalries are odd things. I am going to have to go with '09-'10. |

I took '10-'11. I'm with eelbor that it's rough to win at a rival's place, but I don't think we'll be losing many games in '09 (like 4) and I don't think IU will be one of those loses. |

Why do you care? Just so you know I voted 09-10. |

Two reasons I don't think we lose in Bloomington that season: 1) That will be our best team ever. 2) IU will still be young and developing. I think IU starts to turn the corner late that season, but won't fully make the transition until the following season (like Painter's teams of the last two years). |

Crean is already rehearsing his half time locker room speech for the '10-'11 season. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yw7KijRfU-c |

Because it is a fucking joke. Not realistic. Ridiculous. Laughable. If the situations were reversed, IU fans would say the same thing in larger numbers with far more venom and you know it. |

Took the words right out of my mouth. Oh well, the harsh reality will set in with most of them eventually. They will figure out that Crean actually doesn't walk on water. |

I don't think that it will even be a game the next 2 yrs. in Mackey and it might be under 10 in the 09'-10' year but like everyone has said that will be Purdue's best year in a long time. If Crean can't muster up a win the year after that then I really don't know even though I think he will. I don't know why the 08'-09' prediction from IU fans is so homerish I mean "IT'S INDIANA!!!!". That quote is just priceless and I am glad other people brought it up instead of me. |
