This is fun, Padres. I’m having fun.

I think Brad Brownell is a solid coach, but I don't see him as someone Indiana fans would be excited about. He hasn't won a conference title since 2007 and has spent most of his time at Clemson getting between 17-20 wins a year.

Doesn't scream championship coach to me. #iubb

I would not be shocked if Indiana misses the tournament now. They're on the cut line in most projections and this has been an awful showing. #iubb

Considering this is essentially a home game, it's severely disappointing that Indiana showed up like this. Just a complete no-show against a very beatable team. #iubb
March 13, 2025 at 6:05 PM
Just some really bad, empty possessions from Indiana. Opportunities are there and they keep coming up short. #iubb
March 13, 2025 at 5:53 PM
Whoever the next coach at Indiana is, please, I'm begging you, banish long 2-pointers from the program. #iubb

If you’re talking on the phone in a crowded gym, you’re the worst and I hate you.

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not even looking at the stock market every day.

Summary: it’s bad and is only getting worse. Need to tune out for a bit.

Sure seems like we have a lot of new friends on Bluesky today. If you're looking for some good NBA, WNBA, and some college basketball accounts to follow, here's something to get you going. Just click on the starter pack and follow one, follow lots, or follow all. go.bsky.app/FGmgtea

Hey look, Bluesky isn’t down. How is everyone?

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover.

Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment."

WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.
Social Security Workers Aren’t Allowed to Read This Story
New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Indiana has a ton of resources and an incredible opportunity to turn its basketball program around with its next hire. Aim high and don’t settle this time. The money is there. #iubb

I firmly believe someone will finally get it right with Indiana basketball. Someone will figure this thing out and return the program to glory.

When that happens, it’ll be all the more meaningful because of the hard times. #iubb

Occupying land in the Middle East has never gone badly for the U.S. before, so why not…?
REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation?

TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

If you get CNN International, I'll be on CNN World Sport at 5:30 ET. Tune in!

Your program is what it does, not its potential.

Indiana can't execute in the clutch, gets blown out regularly, and loses games it shouldn't.

Time for a change. #iubb

Hi BlueSky, I'm back. For real this time.

The Bears have a terrible offensive line and a mobile quarterback and decided to run straight ahead on fourth and short.

This is why they're the Bears.

Sam Darnold is a different quarterback this year. It's amazing what good coaching, a smart scheme, and a few weapons can do.

Is there an Indiana community on here yet or…? #iubb

Hoosiers play Providence today at 11:00 a.m. in the 7th-place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.

(Wonder what @rumorsandrants.bsky.social thinks of that tip time ... )

No live postgame show immediately after game, but we're working to plan a Battle 4 Atlantis recap show for later today.

I certainly hope you have better things to do the day before Thanksgiving than linger on this game, but in case you don't, here is the postgame show link:

I like listening after devastating losses because it allows us to commiserate, like group therapy!

(Please have @rumorsandrants.bsky.social on)

(I’d have rather IU shown up to compete today)
