Will be watching in person with my son. Man, he (12) and my daughter (7) are getting a little ruthless on who gets to go to what games this year and I love it. They want to see IU with their old man and that makes me happy!

Trainwreck. Should have hired Dusty when we had the chance. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

The idea that the hottest rock star HC in the country is a slightly cranky 63yo 1st time power conference guy at the losingest program in history takes the term “counterintuitive” to whole new heights. Beyond awesome.

Freaking. Awesome.

10 years ago today this thread was born. Shout out to BlueDevil Hoosier (BlueDevil) for starting it up back then. 3136 pages of hoops junkies talking ball. Definitely something I look forward to throughout the year. Well done BTBanners community

Hoosier

IMO Adam probably had enough of Woody's recruiting approach and may have told him he needed to get off his arse. I don't for a minute believe it was anything that Adam did but our illustrious coach being a complete doofus.

If Purdue was a person it would look like this.

On the road this weekend and finished reading the thread. LMAO. Pages 3-7. The sky is falling, the sky is falling! Next 7 or so well maybe not really falling. From there on,damn we’re good. Guess that thumb was OK. This post brought to you by Rick’s Smoke House in Terre Haute.

“Resting ‘Not Winning By Enough’ face.”

In the post game, Woody said that Tucker took a knee to the thigh in practice and wasn’t able to get loose. Nothing serious at all. He also said that 19 threes was fine, but we need to shoot more of them than that. Woody didn’t seem especially satisfied with our performance.

With any luck this action with Adam Howard is just this.

Nothing I saw last night made me rethink anything about Woodson. Dude isn’t the guy. Doesn’t matter how much talent he has. He doesn’t know what to do with it. We need the AD to knock another hire out in about 6 months is my guess

Getting free footlongs I suppose.

Belief amongst the staff. If it’s truly a political disbelief between Howard and CMW then screw CMW and his statistical ego. I am over CMW. Its his way or the highway

Saturdays are sacred at football schools such as IU. We can hate on our crappy basketball coach the other 6 days, but Coach Cig deserves our full attention today.

Live every day. Appreciate every day. Treat people with grace. Even when you disagree with them. Life is short.

Schwarber is the guest picker.

Sometimes when you get older and move up to a higher level, you want to enjoy the fruits of your labor and not move on just to start over. Money only means so much, especially if you don't need more. CCC is a hero here. He is the embodiment of the Hoosier work ethic. The pressure at a higher profile place, after what he has done here, would be astronomical. Sometimes being comfortable in a position is important, especially after you have proven you can succeed.

It’s that time of year again. Christmas morning for me. The beginning of a new college basketball season is almost here. To the new posters feel free to stop in and post in this thread anytime. There will always be a hoops junkie in here watching and posting. To the lurkers who don’t post jump on in here and post. To the veteran poster who make this thread awesome I can’t wait to experience the buzzer beaters and great games that we are in store for. Just a heads up this thread won’t turn into a pissing contest between Woody haters and Woody defenders. This thread runs smooth if IU is rolling and runs smooth if IU stinks up the court. You got other threads to post that stuff in. It won’t last long in this one. Feels good to post this IU Indy kicks the day off at 11 am on ESPN+ Game to watch Charleston/S Illinois Santa Clara/St Louis McNeese/S Dakota St Butler/Missouri St A&M/UCF Missouri/Memphis Texas/Ohio St Zags/Baylor 1 more sleep hoops junkies

It's happening. My endless misery has finally come to an end. I need a new handle.

My inside source (FWIW) told me that Lewis is looking for $2.5 million in NIL....and that the thought among staff is that it makes more sense to either stay within the program or go the Rourke-type route than commit that kind of money to a freshman.
