"Loving it in Bloomington"

Exciting game; exciting conversations by Brent and Steve. Very interesting conversation about chocolate during the first half, and the conversation they had about hair, haircuts, and barbers was very enlightening. Brent knows a really good barber in Bloomington, and I think Steve was insinuating that Midwesterners use antifreeze as hair gel. All in all, quality announcing job by the Lavinburger team, but not as much Brent craziness as we are used to…in the first half. Brent and Steve really stepped it up in the 2nd half to make up for it, and Steve was coming up with more strange expressions than usual. For example, the Oregon Ducks are trying to quack their way into the tournament, according to Steve.

Only 1 bad thing to say about the game: It was annoying when they cut to scenes of the Purdue fans who decided to watch the game in their arena (the game was in Bloomington, not West Lafayette). Did the Purdue fans not know that it was an away game? Why do we (the people who want to watch the game that’s being played in Bloomington) care at all what the fans in West Lafayette are doing? (Oh look, Purdue scored and they are cheering! What a surprise.) It’s a major distraction to cut between arenas during the game. Brent wants to know what they are charging for a hot dog and soda over there.

“Old fashioned apple jack style” – Steve

Brent uses his catchphrase “one and done” to describe everything. This week it describes Eric Gordon after he made a huge shot saying that he is such a good player he will only be in college for 1 year. The past couple weeks he used “one and done” to describe a situation when a team goes down the court, shoots, misses, and doesn’t get the offensive rebound.

Break out your thesaurus, synonyms for the Purdue Boilermakers as told by Brent Musburger: Baby Boilers, The Little Engine That Could.

Final score: #14 Indiana 77, #15 Purdue 68
Indiana ends Purdue’s 11 game win streak
