That just doesn’t look fair

when you almost double the other team’s score, on the road, maybe it doesn’t make sense for the crowd to chant “Tyler’s better”. I don’t mind the “Boiler up” chant, it’ll just prepare CZ for when he goes to Wakey and drops a 20-20 game…

They were chanting “Tyler Zeller,” “Tyler’s Better,” “Boiler Up,” and in the fourth qurter while he sat, the kids chanted “You got benched,” but by the end they chanted “Sign my shirt” and “We want Zeller.”

I felt bad at times for Owen Valley. They were down 20-0 to start the game. They wouldn’t drive because they were scared of Zeller.

Wow, that is a 3A school ? Was going to ask why Washington was playing a 1A school this late in the season. I know CZ makes a lot of other kids look smaller than they really are but those poor kids looked like they were from some small barely populated community. Even so I can easily see why he is a Burger Boy.

The stupid chants were there, the kind of score we’re looking for was there, we saw CZ dominating the other team, the only thing missing was the real PUke team.

This isn’t necessarily the best place to post this, maybe the Mcdonald’s All-American announcement post would be better, but has anyone stopped lately and thought about how important Cody Zeller’s commitment was? I mean, we’ve had a few months of actual basketball to follow, but think of how our view of the current teams play would be changed if next years class was Etherington and no one, with us pulling another Moses Abraham spring decision all-nighter; Yogi had committed to, say, Butler to play with Zeller, and IU hadn’t gotten any of the 2013 kids or maybe none of the 2012′s. Certainly we wouldn’t be as high on next year’s team…and most definitely we’d probably be a bit more bitter about this year’s team, as well.

I mean, Zellerpalooza was kind of a joke (well, more than kind of, it was called Zellerpalooza after all) but looking back, I kind of think all the excitement and intrigue and discussion and over-the-top following of that story was worth it. With the benefit of a few months, and knowing what all has happened for the program both on the court and off, that one day really did turn out to be a turning point for IU. I never would have guessed; not because I thought it wasn’t a big day, just that the hype was so unbelievable, it got ridiculous. But now, I feel totally different. I just wondered if anyone else had looked back on it like that.

Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Carry on.

Delete if you like, Alex.

What I find impressive about CZ is that he posts dominating numbers against cupcakes as well as good competition. In other words, he doesn’t take the night off against a team like Owen Valley, but he seems to rise to the occasion against quality teams as well.

I am absolutely giddy about him coming in the fall!!!

I remember playing against Owen Valley in High School. They were basically right on par with my terrible team that I won’t mention but needless to say playing agains the likes of Cody Zeller just isn’t fair. 20-0 start sounds about right. I would think it could have been 80-5 if they wanted to put a hurt on them.

I would have lasted about 10 minutes in that locker room because i have a
mind of my own.

takes me out walking when I’d rather stay at home; takes me out to parties when i’d rather be at home; my mind has mind of its own

They missed the 3 second call on Cody early in the video.

Not just doubled up, but had Cody wanted to push the issue, he could have outscored their entire team by himself.

I can identify with Knight as I’m about as stubborn as he is (seriously). Trying to explain the logic would make this too long a post, but I don’t think he has against most of the fans. He did conduct his roast here, for example.

But the state shares a name with the university, so of course he can’t say it.

I’m not saying it’s logical, but grudges never are
