If you could blame the season on one person...

[melissasmooth]

Pontius Pilate
The chick who sent over the shot
Canada

Honorable mention: ElDonBDon for attempting to ruin this thread with an actual opinion when levity is clearly the medicine this board requires.

Little known fact, Pilate was AD at Judaea University but his run was cut short when a game scheduled for a Roman Naval ship was cancelled - that was way before he went on to be a judge

Obamacare

Obamacare

It is going to be quite a feat to narrow the pool of candidates to five blameworthy culprits, of which only one will be held solely responsible for this year's on court product.

Pontius Pilate
Canada
The chick who sent over the shot
The guy on the grassy knoll
TJ Taylor's girlfriend
George W. Bush
Obamacare
"Me" - spoken by husbands across the MU community
"Him" - spoken by wives across the MU community

Lots of legitimate options; who will brave the task of limiting the list to five?

[tower912]

Any advice for that one? Not at the whole wife thing yet but the lady friend has been blaming me for a lot recently for studying too much...

I will give you a hint.   If they are trying to change you now, or complaining now, while you are still in college and just dating, run, don't walk, away.     It will never get better, only worse.

How about the 5 crooks that will be revealed in the finale of True Detective? Or you could also add Teo's imaginary girlfriend.

Word on the street was that he had been butting heads with the gladiator squad's HC. Supposedly the administration was worried about the coach moving to UT (University of Tel Aviv). Team really seemed to lose their killer instinct that year. Got massacred a couple of times. Natives in the forum (city center) were pulling out their torches and pitchforks.

(All meant in humor. Not seriously trying to argue anything)

[willie warrior]

Wait... we forgot one. Crean for hiring Buzz. There that should be almost a universal consensus.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Justin Bieber (Substitute for Canada)

TJ Taylors girlfriend
Les Miserables

This is why levity is such a precious commodity in this world. Just when I thought you could not be a larger buffoon as it relates to your stance on this program, you go ahead and throw out this unbelievably amazing suggestion and completely obliterate all of my pent up anger towards you. Amazing. I heart you.

A top five blame list would not be complete without Teo's imaginary girlfriend.

Ners' 30th floor crib.

Goose Brell for turning his back on the American Flag during the National Anthem from 1969-70.
This begot Allie's turnover against Ohio State, Chone's leaving during the season, Al's technical's against NC State, Miami of Ohio, Bob Dukiet....

Me for not making sure every student in the student section knows how to manage their time so the can show up to games.

A joke is most effective when you explain it immediately.
