Wouldn't it be something if we knock off Illinois and Purdue....who would have saw this run coming in to start the Big Ten season. Certainly not me after the way they started.

I was at the game Sunday. There is some guy opposite side of the bench with a court side seat. He’s right next to the scores table. He’s on his feet a lot and clapping and ranting and raving like he’s a coach. He’s wearing gold tonight. Anyone know who that is?

He has been there for years. He is a surgeon and huge donor, I have been told. Tonight he was given a serious warning by the tall, bald ref. Not sure what happened. That isn’t the first time. He has a habit of talking to the officials. His blonde trophy wife has not been with him this year.

I’m surprised they don’t say anything to him about the behavior he exhibits. I swear he was out on the court Sunday yelling at refs like he was a coach

He’s got a big party/banquet/business meeting room in Carver named after him which for sporting events is basically a bar for super rich people. They hangout there before basketball games and wrestling duals, and they go there during halftime/intermission. If you’ve ever been to a game or meet, you’ll see a big group of people head out through the tunnel at halftime or intermission…That’s where they’re going.

Feller gives a shitload of money so he can try to play a very low rent version of Mark Cuban. Flies with the team (pretty weird if you ask me to be starstruck over teenagers to the point where you’re a groupie of sorts) and coaches “dislike” the guy.

I’ve had the misfortune to meet the guy a few times at wrestling duals and he’s a total sociopath. You get the vibe strongly about 15 seconds after meeting him. Dave Revsine (Big Ten announcer) called him out on Twitter for running around like an idiot and blocking his view during a big play, and Feller responded by telling Revsine to shut up and that he makes his living because of “people like me.”

Long story short: Feller has an extremely small dong and makes up for it by buying his perceived importance, and is a necessary hanger-on that no one of real importance likes. The money is important so unfortunately they have to let little brother hang around.

My God, he sounds like the adult version of the kid with divorced parents whose dad bought him a NeoGeo for Christmas in 1990. There was one kid at my school who was in that boat, but he was such a douche that not even invites to play the NeoGeo could draw people over to his house. Have you ever seen the movie 8-Bit Christmas? They perfectly captured that kid with one of the characters in that movie (kid had every Nintendo game and a PowerGlove). I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Here’s the tweet where Feller tells Revsine he’s a peasant…

Purdue's gotta be loving us right now. We keep knocking off their closest pursuer.

Exactly... We are putting it away for them. Not that they need much help but it's setting up for the #2 team through 8 to just be one jumbled up mess. Kinda fun to see the chaos from where I'm sitting. I just wish we hadn't lost to Neb and PSU, MSU and that dreaded Eastern IL game. We'd be sitting pretty. Coulda shoulda woulda on all of those

He's just completely wrong, though. The media guys make a living because of the accumulation of millions of people paying $1 a month for cable carriage costs to BTN. Someone from the school has to do an intervention.

He's like a less-dangerous and less-rich version of John DuPont.

More money than brains, inferiority complex, tries to buy relevance, everyone in the room knows he's not relevant but him.

Amen.. The rich always think it's all about them though.. That'll never change. I suppose most schools have a dude or two like that. Just a matter of how obnoxious are they and do they 'embarrass' the school enough to do anything about it. This guy seems to cross that line but just not far enough evidently

He's an anesthesiologist in CR.

Second, if you think that's a trophy I do NOT want to see what your porn search history looks like.

And we could easily have lost Indiana and Michigan which would really have put us in the spin cycle.

We also could have beat Wisconsin, Penn State, and Michigan State. If we could have finished those games, the Purdue game would have been for a share of the lead if we beat Illinois Saturday. It's been a weird year. Dangerously close to a great year and even closer to a terrible year.
