I hope it doesn't knock the train off the track in our team's progress.

However, personally, I would like to beat Purdue at full strength so they don't have any excuses to whine about.

ChitownHoosier, Crean get a A+ in my book on his first pop quiz on tone & execution to set a foundation of integrity for the program. Speaks volumes for IU's future!

That doesn't excuse him giving a cheap-shot in the crotch, but that is why I be he was PO'd.

Perfect. Perfect. Coach Crean needs to set a tone of discipline right now, and he passed his first test with flying colors. This isn't Memphis or Kentucky and I think Coach Crean just pased his first test with flying colors. This is Indiana, and it sure looks like he wants to make it Indiana again. Perfect. Perfect.

Nice statement from Dumes. The only way to see if he means it is to………PLAY HIM.

I am actually excited to see who plays the DUmes minutes and how the team responds

I don't remember Jamarcus doing anything like this. You guys weren't freaking out about our players last year when they were winning.

As Alex says, let's hope the apology is sincere, and maybe a game or two will be sufficient to rein Dumes in. To me, there are two things to remember: first (as some have pointed out), Dumes is still a kid, and though he's a transfer, he still doesn't have the experience to deal with the pressure, the higher level of play, or the losing. OTOH, IU and its fans have very different expectations for this team than any team in any season in any sport I've supported. We don't expect great play, we don't expect winning (thank God); we expect character, hard work, commitment, and doing all of it the right way. Hopefully Dumes can get back to the things we expect from him; if he can't, we can certainly continue this unique season without his points.
