    Carl Sandburg Seems like this thread has a bunch of table pounding, and the red herring is most certainly the thread’s mascot.

    More often than not it’s better that recruits don’t watch us play.

    Good ****, we’ll argue over anything when one possesses a strong opinion about something, regardless of right or wrong. The ******* point was there are plenty of reasons Archie could/should be fired. It’s ******* hilarious that you knew the ones who would be bitching and moaning about even mentioning Archie and tournament appearance in the same post. The fact is the resume of the team Archie was coaching last season was good enough to have made the tournament. AND it’s still fair to think Archie should be let go. cRiTIcAl ******* tHiNKinG IS hARd! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Has there been a single person on this board say he absolutely needs one more year? Seriously. Has one single person said everyone needs to pipe down b/c Archie needs a 5th year?

    I understand kids just fine. Honestly recruits could care less what college basketball game is on each night. You are right they are more likely to watch nba or playing video games or they are worried more about their own season.

    I will take watching them play in the tournament regardless of how much the program is struggling and I really don’t care how that looks on national television. But I also don’t worry myself or lose my mind thinking of what the national perception is of iu. For me a loss is a loss. Losing on espn compared to BTN or FS1 is still just a loss. I will let others worry more about the right way for IU to win or lose or what channel each should happen on

    Never needs to be brought up for you and you don’t care that IU should of made the tournament. Meaningless taking point for you. If someone wants to bring up the “context” of last season and mention that IU should of made the tournament who am I or you to tell them they can’t. Again just because you don’t want to talk about it maybe some do. A struggling program was set to make the tournament last year so of course some people are going to want to bring it up

    You have an incredible ability to own yourself. You’ve gone on and on about being in ESPN on more than one occasion. And how we get relegated to FS1. Our national perception is important for recruiting!! Then you admit recruits don’t flip through TV channels. They get their info on social media (or they are streaming by the way). Hah! We have as much social media exposure as any other program. And FS1 is just as accessible to stream as ESPN is. So which is it? My guess is your answer is whatever supports the current sentence you are trying to type.

    Loved this from Rick Bozich: Pete Maravich averaged 7 more points per game over his 83-game college career than Michigan State scored tonight.

    Besides the Texas game and Stanford game I’m guessing you are meaning 0. The other Maui game was on the deuce as well as the Florida St game. So 4 of IU’s 7 non conference games were on espn networks. Not like it really matters what channel it’s on. Basketball fans are going to find the games regardless of what channel they are on. Basketball junkies will watch IU games. Plenty of college basketball nerds I interact with on Twitter watch about every college game every night.

    Season opener last night for Aire (pronounced I-ray) and Bishop McNamara and it was a bummer as they were manhandled 104 - 73 by Paul VI. Aire finished with 17 pts. on 7-11 FG; 3-7 FT; 8 reb; 2 stls; 5 blks; 1 TO. He has a slender build just slightly bigger than Edey at PUke. Ran the floor very well but had trouble hanging on to the ball and finishing at the rim. Should have had a lot more rebounds but allowed himself to get boxed out too many times.

    How we got to this point in the discussion and you thought conversation was about this is just beyond me. I’ll just go a different direction and say I wish we could all sit around a table with some beers and have a chat about IU hoops. At very least we all want the same thing.

    Are you saying that because he would have made the Tournament if there was one that Nashville is saying Archie shoukd stay? Because if you are, you do need get better at comprehension. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    What the heck is a "chest code game?" Is that like when MJ destroyed the Utah Jazz with the flu? Wait that's chest cold. Although, when I have a chest cold, I probably pronounce it "code."

    My intention was never to dig up any discussion about whether Archie is worthy of continuing to be the coach and debating his resume. That's all been covered plenty so I was definitely not trying to start that debate. It was about evaluating the one single point of NCAA tourney appearances (while again, I'm acknowledging there is plenty of other things he should be judged on). If you are prepared to say that his evaluation on whether he should be fired or not should include NCAA tournament appearances, and you're assessment is that he should be judged as being 0-3 on NCAA tournament appearances, you are not applying the proper context and critical thinking necessary.

    For me, it shouldn't be about what would have happened last season. The focus should be on why we're still struggling to make the tournament in his fourth year. If we had a strong team that was going to easily make it this time, BTN wouldn't be showing graphics headlined "NCAA tournament droughts" during our games just so they could include us.
