The Good, The Bad and some fun

THE GOOD: Apparently, the hotel were we are staying must have borrowed a cloud from heaven, and put it on our mattress for us to sleep on. I think I am gonna have to tear the sheets off and see how they "built it" from the bottom up! Ahhhh. After that, I hardly needed the double-headed shower this morning - but it did this body good to start my day, be able to watch t.v. AND shampoo my hair at the same time.
THE BAD -#1(and a little ugly): OK, because the first day of games were uneventful, unsurprising, and blow-outs, my mind (and camera) tended to wander. I am always distracted (well, really more like appalled) by the hairdo of former Purdue coach-turned Big10 Network announcer, Gene Keady. Does he NOT own a mirror? Are all his friends and family too chicken to tell him how ridiculous he looks?

I'm just sayin'....












THE BAD -#2 (mostly ugly) Another distraction to me, has always been the warm-up pants warn by Indiana Univ. I mean, really, how seriously do you think anyone is threatened, if you wear these pants? Does anyone else remember Fruit Stripes gum? Or, maybe this could be Indiana's new Fight Song.

I'm just sayin'...










Some Fun
: this was a Half-time event, called Human Bowling.

1) they set up these tall foam pins (click pics for larger view)















2) then seat a "fan" into a wheeled disc, cradled in a retracted elastic harness, which is released.

Wheeeeeeeee!














3) To "bowl" over those foam pins!


This crazy fan was able to bowl over all the pins - twice.
Hmmm, maybe it has something to do with those striped pants.

So, from the Big Ten Tournament...I'm just sayin'
