Thad Matta has no clue what ironic means

OSU did us a big favor by de-pantsing PSU yesterday. 3bler had 10!! 3-pointers in the game. This quote from Matta was a little confusing though:
"Ironically, I told him in shootaround, 'We need a big night from you tonight. You're going to get your shots," Buckeyes coach Thad Matta said.Um...why is that ironic coach? He is just doing what he is paid to do. Bazinga!
That's ironic that you'd post this article
I mean, that's exactly like rain on your wedding day.
Rain on your wedding day would only be ironic if you were marrying Ra, the Egyptian sun god.
Conversion of Ironic by Alanis Morissette to actual irony:

Most situations quoted as ironic are actually "major bummers" or "coincidence" so I abandoned quoting irony a few years back. My life got boring so now I only speak in rhymes:
'No more rhymes now, I mean it!'
'Anybody want a peanut?'
In defense of Alanis Morissette, singing a song about irony where you list situations that are not ironic is, itself, ironic.
I'm sure that's actually what she was intending to do.
Alanis is DEEEEEEP, man...
John U. Bacon's lecture on "irony" and Alanis Morrisette was probably my favorite day of class at the University.
......?
French Fries
Thad's still upset that he met the man of his dreams, then met his beautiful wife.
It's far less hard-wearing and more prone to rust than galvanized irony, however.
You wanna talk about irony? I went in my kitchen this morning and found 10,000 spoons. All I needed was a knife.
my friend, Mr. Playitsafe, was afraid to fly...
but his plane crashed down :(
You really want irony? I know a guy who won the lottery...
He died the next day :(
And isn't it ironic...don't you think?
A little too ironic.
I really do think.
wow you guys are lame.
You must be new around here.
We used to quote Alanis like whoa. I thought about starting a new blog called www.MGoJaggedLittlePill.com
Yeah, some people get nostalgic for the Haloscan days....I get nostalgic for the Alanis days.
Just thinking about it, I'm sad, but I'm laughing.

FML - someone smarter than me can fix this I guess.
of when someone asked you to convert your DVR'd Denard episode of Jeopardy into internet form and then post it on the board haha
Yeah, same here. I got a little internet cocky just now, thought I could do it. I was wrong though.
rub shoulders with AAU runners/handlers to secure the highest number of one and doners in the last 6-7 years...so he's got that going for himself
It sounds like Matta gave Diebler some good advice, which he, Diebler, then did, in fact, take.
Wouldn't that make the exchange the opposite of ironic?
Don't you think?
inconceivable
!ironically original
...Princess Bride references in the same thread. I like it.
Thad Matta cannot stop peeing in peoples butts.
Ironically his name rhymes with, Mad Hatter.
That's what she said.....
Haha You just made my day by saying bazinga....
Thad WAS correct in his use of irony! It must mean that he expected his player to suck, and telling him "score more" was an attempt at a sarcastic joke. But the real irony in it all was the fact that his sucky player actually didn't suck!
Or something like that.
They are the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
what college basketball recruiting is to "dirt, especially as it applies to sandwiches"?
Uh, I gotta go, my damn weiner kids are listening.
Thad is quite the lad, in an ironic sort of way.
When in Rome...
Irony can be pretty ironic.
Its not Ironic its coincidental!
Thad Matta at Ohio State is lhe college basketball version of Being There. He likes to watch.
Good time to link to comedian Ed Byrne's awesome takedown of moaning cow Alanis Morisette:
Oddly enough, Thad Matta appears to be unfamiliar with the phrase "oddly enough", and when to deploy it.
