Mad as in angry, agitated, unhappy, or mad as insane, crazy, mentally unbalanced? Or both? Doesn't the latter apply to most (all) of the posters here? As the psychiatrist says the dichotomy is not - nuts, or not nuts, but rather is what is the level of mental instability and how does it manifest itself?

Some combination of both, in my case. :eek:

I'm envious of you. I'm sort of enervated by the whole thing.

I've been shaking my head for about three + years (since right before the Purdue Sweet Sixteen game).

There is a grin on my face from time to time when I think about last year's championship, but am fairly devoid of any strong feelings right now. Maybe it's because of last year, or maybe it's just because the past 3 years have been crazy.

Annoyed. Just wish the NCAA would pull the probe out of our poop hole once and for all.

The entire season is going to be one long parade of stupid comments and asides about how we're not eligible because we have dumb players or something. It's going to awful. Do no watch any studio shows next year. Mute the announcers.

But the pain and madness will rush in once you see that our team is better than 90% of the teams that will go on to play in the post season while we sit, watch, or maybe don't watch, and hope for 2013/14. Ugh!

I've been on mute for years!

As BL pointed out earlier in a different thread, this is not the death penalty. If we (as a basketball program) are close to what most of our fan base wants to claim we are, we will have no problem recovering from this.

I'M PISSED OFF
But that's better then being pissed on!

I hope we are ranked #1 going into the tournament and the team that wins has an * next to there name!!

I'm still excited for the season, just like every season, weather we play in the dance or not!

I want to fight somebody. Anybody. All I want right now is to connect with somebody's jaw and bloody them up. I think I'll feel better after that happens.

Ideally at the end of next season you would like to hear an announcer say. "but could they have beaten UCONN". If we could only be that good it would be a small kick to the NCAA nuts.

While the above situation (pundits questioning whether the tournament winner would have won if we were eligible) is exactly what I want, I don't think the NCAA would view that as anything but a victory. What they don't want to see is us having a season that would not give us a postseason bid even if we were eligible.

Banning us in what ended up as a bad season won't be (in their eyes) punishment at all. Robbing us of a shot at a title when we had a legitimate chance to win however would be something they would view as a perfect punishment.

Outraged, furious, pissed. But it ain't gonna do my team any good. I say we form an angry mob with torches and pitchforkes and march to Indianapolis. (For those of you who do not know me - which is everyone -I kid. Well, sort of.)
