TV Teddy Valentine's

[hawk-i bob]

whistle....affects more games adversely than any other official in the game today...the 2nd foul on Hammonds was a joke...

good luck Purdue...Teddy's on a mission.

even Dakich just said Valentine is taking over this game....

I'm not sure why the other two officials are even there. Teddy's got this. He can make all the calls. Oh wait he is.

 

[OnceAhawk]

Aj Hammonds barely touches the IU big, the IU big flops, and Teddy V calls an offensive foul on AJ

Dacick rips into Teddy V, calling it a horrible call

 

[ZumaHawk]

He ruined the ending of the game too.

 

[denmar81]

It was goal tending because he touched the rim, but Teddy was the furthest from the basket and no way could he see that. He made the call on the block thinking it was on the way down. Which it wasn't. Why that guy still ref's is a testament to what is wrong with college basketball. Shame on the B1G for allowing that idiot into any B1G arena.

 

[ZumaHawk]

Ok I didn't notice that !! My bad.

 

[iCRUNCH]

I thought he was retiring last year.

He was so brutal tonight. Total ineptitude.

After tonights W over Purdue, I think Indiana is going to win the B1G title outright with an overall record of 14-4. Maryland isn't going to beat them in that last home game for them, so the only loss they have (hopefully) left on their schedule is us.

I don't see how we finish 3-1 with our crazy tough road schedule to tie them.

We finish tied for 2nd with Michigan State at 13-5.

That PSU game cost us a share of the title, pretty much.

Just to be clear. Later on. No one can gladly eat crow. By the very definition of the phrase the idea of it is supposed to be so repulsive and disgusting that a person would have to be certain of being right to boast such prognostic ability upon gamble of being fed crow.

Boisterous.

And if wrong. The act of eating crow should be so sickening as to teach the braggart to never boast of having futuristic visions again! A very sickening lesson.

Crow was the inedible bits of animals after they were cleaned and processed for digestion, in the middle ages. Those people ate almost anything. So think of the worst parts of an animal. Dried snot from a boar. Rotten, cancerous tumors from a goats loin. The very worst parts.

That is what a person gambles, having to eat that.

In other words. For all practical purposes never predicting anything again. Or one hasn't really eaten crow at all. Because, you wouldn't do it twice.

So, is anyone really certain what the next four games bring?

Been saying since December that 14-4 wins B1G. Probably a co-champ though.

Valentine cost IU a national championship in 1992 against Duke in final four.IU was up 6 at half.In 2nd half Valentine single handedly fouled out Cheaney ,Bailey ,Grahamn, and Nover-4 starters, three of which had not fouled out all year. IU fans hate Valentine.

Valentine has not done an Iowa game since the BTT MichSt vs Iowa game in 2014....any guesses why?

Valentine should be fired (which could very well be the problem)...any official who makes it more about them...then the game is dangerous.

I'm still pissed about that game.

Bob Knight said 20 years ago that Valentine should never be allowed to referee a B1G game.

He called him "a travesty," iirc. Lots of things I didn't agree with RMK about, but for Teddy V he was spot on.

Imagine for a moment a sport already filled with historical low points of association with gamblers, fixing games, I mean decades of "incidents". And ironically it is a sport affixed to the very heart of higher education!

Kind of reminds me of the relationship between Dean Wormer and Mayor DePasto in Animal House.

It would make a great mini-series on HBO, after the fact of course. The story of a college referee who seemingly changes the course of games single-handedly. How unbelievable it is that fans could fall for it over and over but they believe what they want and who wants to believe their spouse is cheating on them. That's about what it would amount to, to find out your sport was rigged.

Ah, but it is all fictional. And the day that ref has an accident or disappears will just be coincidence. But in real life you can't have a tell all book. Just a fictional mini-series that makes the wacky conspiracy nuts wet their pants shouting, "Exactly!!!!"

And his name couldn't have been devised any better than real life. Ted "TV" Valentine.

But you know, the next time TV Teddy is doing a national game, the broadcasters will praise him as one of the country's great officials. It's all self-perpetuating BS.
