B1G still possible Posbang/Drinking Thread
What an exciting game!!! So, anyone enjoying a cold one? I'm drinking a Trogenator (it is lent after all). Let's enjoy! And beat Indiana!!!
I'd say venting frustrations on a message board with people across the world is a much better way to ease your tensions than mannny other ways I could think of.
Yeah, and death by electrocution is better than death by hanging, drawing and quartering. That it's not the worst thing in the world doesn't make it a good thing,
Here's a simple rule to follow: if you're going to post something imflammatory, reflect for a second before you hit the "Save" button: "Do I really want to put this message out there?" If you can't answer affirmatively, don't send it.
It happens to the best of us - especially when we relate the basketball season with football (where a couple of bad losses hurts you to a much greater extent). We just need to realize that except for the truly great teams (and there are possibly 2 or 3 at most per year), every school is going to have atleast a couple of clunkers per year. The basketball season is long and especially hard when you are in a brutal league with a young team. You just hope to win your games at home and try to win about half the games on the road - and then you sit back and hope the chips fall your way during march madness!
One GAME to rule them all, One GAME to find them,
One GAME to bring them all and in the banners bind them
BEAT THE HOOSIERS!
Plenty of Pepto Bismol...
Shut off the TV when we went down 12. Turned it back on when we were down 5. Glad I came back!
A win is a win. One game to win for a banner and a championship. Nice and simple.
The road losing streak is over!
I feel like IU will be a cakewalk compared to that hell. It won't be, obviously, but it's nice to go back to Crisler with a B1G title up for grabs.
In celebration of still being in control of our destiny going into the final regular season game, there is a goodly supply of Hacker-Pschorr and Strongbow Cider in the surviving snow near the patio. Enjoy, or at least, have some before I consume it.
Only one chore left before postseason play - beat the Hooisers.
And? Nothing wrong with being a little hungover on a bike.
Phillips! Neat...
We have to find a way to blow people out...I can't keep going through this. I'm too fat.
No more road games!
Fat Tire - so glad it came to Michigan.
Bud Light, what a comeback!
MOJITOS!!!
Hopslam.
I'm really running out, less than a case left
Not sure you bust that out for Purdue?

2013 B1G Tourney Seed Determination Inputs
TEAM | GM2 | GM1 | IU | UM | OSU | MSU | WIS | MN | ILL | IA |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
#2 Indiana | -- | @UM | -- | 1-0 | 1-1 | 2-0 | 0-1 | 1-1 | 0-1 | 2-0 |
#7 Michigan | -- | IU | 0-1 | -- | 1-1 | 1-1 | 0-1 | 1-0 | 2-0 | 2-0 |
#14 Ohio State | -- | ILL | 1-1 | 1-1 | -- | 1-1 | 1-1 | 1-0 | 0-1 | 1-0 |
#10 Michigan State | WIS | NW | 0-2 | 1-1 | 1-1 | -- | 1-0 | 1-1 | 1-0 | 1-0 |
#22 Wisconsin | @MSU | @PSU | 1-0 | 1-0 | 1-1 | 0-1 | -- | 1-1 | 2-0 | 1-1 |
we'll be seeded no worse than 3rd in the BTT.
There is a scenario that would result in us having the 4 seed even with a win over IU.
Wisconsin over MSU
Wisconsin over PSU
Ohio State over Illinois
MSU/NW winner would not matter.
And Indiana would lose its 2-0 sweep of MSU in the determination.
Both IU & Mich would be 2-3 in the four way tie.
We'd edge out IU on the tie-breaker #2 as IU has losses to both Minny & Illinois.
Ok, I was going off this table, which has been floating around sbnation.

I don't like to think about MSU
The #2 tie-breaker in your scenario between IU & Mich would fall to our records vs MSU, and IU would get us there.

finally picked up a pack this morning and it's not bad.
