IDKWTI got shut down in Bloomington, and the Loosiers got lucky with a victory… Expect a different story tonight at the REAL assembly hall! (not the knock off version iu calls home). Gordon is a solid college player but will do NOTHING at the next level. in 2 years the Fighting Illini will return to dominance in the Big 10 and stay there for many, many years. Loosier fans will go back to drinking moonshine, beating their wives and trying to learn how to speak proper english.

If anyone touches EJ with intent to hurt him, Assembly Hall will riot. The mob will swarm over Bruthy and his “potent” 3-star “athletes,” and they will not leave that arena alive…

They won’t try and hurt him, with the story behind this and the national attention, that tactic would permanently tarnish Bruthy’s reputation as a respectable guy.

Go Hoosiers, beat the s–t out of the Illini.

Sunday is going to be a great day for Indiana sports. First, I get to see the Colts whip up on the Bolts and immediately after that game, I get to watch IU & EJ kick the crap out of orange d-bags.

the best thing about this game is that it virtually ends illinois’ already slim chances of making the tournament. i don’t think they’ll be able to recover from an 8-9, 0-4 conference hole.

i think with gordon, they would be a top 25 team. that’s their problem, they have no scorers and nobody that can shoot the basketball. i think legion was a nice get for them and weber is doing good things with his 2009 class. i think they have 3 top 100 kids already and are in the hunt for a few more, but im not sure if weber is going to be around by the time those kids are freshmen.

bloom…thanks so much for introducing me to the youtube video of gordon…simply phenomenal demonstration of pure athleticism, shooting, driving, and dominance. the dunk at the end is outrageous…his head nearly hit the backboard (ON THE WAY DOWN!).

i agree that the bigger game is in champaigne. i also agree that we should expect the same thing we’ve been seeing from jamarcus, but maybe a little more so…i would like to see him back them down into the paint and eat them up with his abilities…it would be even greater to see jamarcus land the second ever triple-double against illinois.
i believe this game means no more than any other for the hoosiers and ej, but that the game in illinois will be given more hype from the media, fans, players, and coaches.
the game in illinois is a much bigger game for illinois and weber than indiana, but there will be much more pressure on gordon at this event…namely from the crowd…as well as on ks. illinois has to win at home against indiana, as does indiana in bloomington. i think this weekend’s game is bigger for indiana because they have the home court (and winning streak) to protect.
i would like to see dj white end up with 20 and 20 with at least 5 blocked shots. the illini will have a difficult task in bloomington, not just holding gordon back, but keeping indiana and their fans (disgusted by the threats and comments made about gordon by illinois fans and former players) from embarrassing and harassing them early. in front of national television, i would like to see indiana bomb the illini by 30 or more. they need a huge win at home, especially against a weaker foe…not because it’s illinois, but because it’s a home game in the b-10 conference season.
regardless of what others think, even the game in champaigne is nowhere near as important as four others…iu vs. michigan state and iu vs. wisconsin. why is everyone giving the game against illinois such hype? i don’t think illinois deserves this kind of hype. that said, iu better win or we’ll never hear the end of it.

Yes that was a great game…at one point for the first time EVER I felt sorry for Jordans son and his dad…it was a helpless feeling….I would have gone out there and handed my son a kicking tee and a helmet and tried a new sport….

At least Ahlfeld’s not Kevin Lemme!

MJ’s son…Yeah the same one that Gordon lit up last year. Jeff’s scored what, ONCE this season. I love that. That was one of the sweetest games I was able to go to last season. I was only a few rows away from MJ, but all I cared about was watching EJ. J. Jordan started out with a great dunk off an alley oop, but Gordon was just incredible the whole game. I think at the time he finally went out of the game, he had scored more points than Jordan’s entire team combined. Although I do remember everyone anticipating a huge dunk off a turnover and Gordon fumbled the ball around and just hit a lay up. But we got that dunk later in the game. I guess he can be human once in a while!

Let ‘em fight. EJ can throw bows better than anyone on Illinois. Deandre can just sit on someone and I feel that Ellis can hold is own. (DJ might fall on the ground randomly like he does 3-4 times a game). Although if a fight did breakout you know that Adam Ahlfield would be right in the middle of it trying to break it up. “Come on guys, dont fight, lets be friends!” God, I love our token white kids under 6 foot. In fact, can we call Adam Ahlfield “Token” from now on like South Park. Just a thought…
