For this column I'm going to do things a little differently. Rather than rehash the same problems the Hoosiers have had during their recent slide, I'm just going to put my thoughts directly into print. I saw this as a way for the avid readers out there to get inside the head of their favorite columnist and see what goes though my mind during a game. \nOK, here we go boys. Lets pull this one off. No stupid mistakes, and we should be fine.\nWow, Marco Killingsworth just threw the ball into the third row. Actually, I'm more impressed than I am mad. That was Rick Ankiel-like accuracy. Badgers are up to start the game. \nEarl Calloway started tonight. You know, the more I look at him, the more I think he looks like David Aldridge after a full-body liposuction. \nAm I the only one who thinks Erin Andrews has surpassed Melissa Stark on the hotness scale? I'm referring of course to Melissa Stark pre-pregnancy. Um, oh yeah, and they are talented sideline reporters, too ... \nIt's obvious that Killingsworth has lost his confidence and that it's rubbing off on the rest of the team. Badgers up now 31-22 at halftime. \nNice of Robert Vaden to finally show up with 16 minutes remaining. He must have had trouble finding the arena. UW 40-29. \nESPN reported that D.J. White is officially out for the rest of the season. On the bright side he'll have plenty of time to plan out his wardrobe for the remaining games. By the way, the black shirt on black pants really works for him. \nKillingsworth fouled out on a ridiculous call, one of many on the night. Officials are never the reason for a loss, so it's not an excuse. But seriously, the Big Ten boasts the worst legion of whistler-toters in the nation. UW 57-40. \nNote to all Big Ten fans, the "Hoosier Daddy" chant is not creative or funny -- it has been done, worn-out and over-used. Please think of something new. You're college students -- creativity shouldn't be hard to come by. \nThe always insightful Brent Musburger just informed the viewers that Michigan State is a pretty good team. In related news, John Wooden was a decent coach and J.J. Redick is a white guy who can shoot. Thank you Brent, I really don't know where I'd be without you.\nThis Steve Lavin-Musburger broadcasting team is really god-awful. I could deal with the incredibly obvious statements and the over-used superlatives, but when they start talking about their life on the road together it just gives me the creeps. \nHey, Sean Kline is in.\nHey, Sean Kline had a tip-in. \nAnd that'll just about do it. Wisconsin spanks IU 72-54. Another stellar road performance from the Hoosiers. Four Big Ten road games and four double-digit losses. I consider myself to be pretty good with words and pretty insightful ... I got nothin'.
