So, anyone see what happened to your Purdue Boilermakers over the weekend?
They got staked out on an anthill ... by the Michigan Wolverines ... in Mackey Arena, where less than a month ago they laminated the Iowa Hawkeyes by 36 points. And where, earlier this season, they beat two top-ten teams (Virginia and Michigan State) by 29 points each.
Not Saturday, though. Saturday, they looked like they were having an out-of-body experience. There was no life. There was no fight (and Purdue teams have always had fight). They looked like someone had hollowed them out and replaced the steel in their spines with marshmallow crème.
And I know just who that someone is.
Has anyone noticed the Purdues haven't won a game, and have been gutted twice in a row in Mackey, since they embarrassed Indiana in Assembly Hall on the day Bob Knight returned?
You say it's just a coincidence. I say the Bob Knight Mojo lives.
Did you notice what else happened over the weekend?
Your Indiana Hoosiers beat Penn State 68-60 after nearly blowing a huge lead (because that's just what they do). It was their second straight win in Assembly Hall since the day Bob Knight came back and their third win in four games since that day. And it happened on the 35th anniversary of this.
You think what you want. I think Bob Knight threw a cosmic chair at the Nittany Lions just when they were about to send the Hoosiers to another embarrassing home loss.
"You're an idiot," you're saying now.
Yeah, well. To quote the Dude: That's just your opinion, man.
