This is logical; therefore it will never happen.

We all agree that our non-conf schedule needs to get a little tougher. It has been reported that the Eye-Ewe Loosiers plan to upgrade their cupcake non-conf schedule. This is so obvious that it will likely never happen. In terms of travel and economy it should be a home and home series every year. Clappy is reaching for his nitro tablets.

IU doesn't need to play us in order to make the tournament. Not sure why they're getting so much flack for their non-conference scheduling. Louisville scheduled crappy non-conference opponents and seemed to do just fine with it.

IU didn't make the tournament because they went 7-11 in Big Ten play. If they go 11-7 and finish in the top-half of the conference, they're assuredly in.

By the way...this is not meant to be in defense of IU. They suck at everything they do for as long as they do it in my book. I just doubt what happens this season changes anything goign forward regarding an IU/ISU regular game.

JMV had IU's AD Fred Glass on this past week after IU didn't get a NIT berth. He brought up wanting to upgrade his schedule and JMV asked him 2-3 times about playing ISU and couldn't even get a response. It's up on his podcast: http://www.1070thefan.com/podcast/Episodes.aspx?PID=2161

I had to laugh as I listened to him arrogantly deny arrogance. Glad you posted the link--made my day a little better.
