Been quite some time since I posted in here. A few places I’ve visited over the last 3-4 years: - Wife and I went on a western Caribbean cruise with another couple. Did the Royal Caribbean line that was 5 nights, and did two excursions in Cozumel and Puerto Costa Maya. Absolutely loved it, and wouldn’t mind doing another cruise. - Did a family vacation (with the same couple for the cruise but we all took our kiddos) to Navarre Beach in Florida. Probably will be my go to spot for future Florida vacations. Loved the area and the beach. - Family drove up to Buffalo, NY from our home in St. Louis. Stopped in Columbus, OH on our way there and back to do some kids activities. Trip to Buffalo was to see some good friends of ours. Did the ferry at Niagara Falls, Buffalo Zoo, and a few other things. On our way home, we stayed for a few days with our families who live on the Illinois side of Evansville, and took the kiddos to Holiday World for their first time.

We try to do a cabin in the mountains if we can, but we are just happy to go when we can make it down there. We are trying a new type of Black Rifle Coffee tomorrow, their Coffee or Die Roast. See how it is.

He would and go all Pitino, taking players to endless trips to the strip club!

Why hasn’t Doug Gottlieb been discussed more? Just think what he could do with our NIL!

While I love Keanu Reaves, the chosen one is Anakin Skywalker. Or Brad Stevens :)

Told you not to post false information ;) On a serious note, did you bring me back the 5 mail order brides I asked for?

Lol, nicely done! That will go down as one of the worst quotes in IU basketball history imo. Calling the majority of the fan base not true fans because we don’t like less than mediocre results and coaching.

The whole “fans are the problem” argument is laughable and a cop-out. I will die on this mountain because if fans are a problem, then UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas, UCONN, and a few others would be in the same situation as we are. It all lies at the administrations feet for bad hires, or coaches just not adapting to the evolution of the game. Woodson was an awful hire, and the fans have nothing to do with that failure. Archie was a failure but was not a terrible hire. The failures of of the last two coaches have nothing to do with the fans. It’s laughable to suggest fans are the problem.

Makers is a really good choice. Last time I got drunk was off that, couldn’t put it down lol. I do like some Crown, but prefer to use Pepsi for that if I mix it.

I hate and love you!

I would get behind him too, even though it will be very hard. I watch a lot less IU hoops that I ever have, and doubt that would change much if Brownell is coach. Part of it is kids sports schedules, and the other part is lack of enthusiasm for the program. Would rather get stuff done around the house than spend 2 hours watching frustrating basketball lol. I still try to watch games, but it’s not must see basketball like is used to be.

Agree and understand. I think he’s better than Brownell, but not excited if Cronin gets it. At the very least though we should be looking at a tournament birth with Cronin.

I believe Buckner and Ferguson were very serious, but unfortunately not much Dolson could do. If everyone is truly out of the way, and if Dolson goes the Brownell route, then very unserious.

Hoping to watch some more games this year. Hope the boys pick it up and get it together.

I will say, if it’s Brownell then that means IU is not serious about resurrecting its men’s basketball program. I’m going to choose to believe that’s false/fake. I can see him being on a list of a 4th or 5th tier of coaching candidates, but no logical way he’s higher than that. I would rather take an up and comer that Brownell. Like I said, not gonna let that get me down, because I refuse to believe IU is that unserious about its program.

So, assuming the Stevens ship has fully sailed and it’s not a smokescreen, what’s everyone’s top 3? These are mine: - Dusty May - Chris Beard (if fully vetted and IU feels he can succeed off the court. I’m fully aware this is an extreme long shot, but still in my top 3 if IU thinks he’s the guy) - Bruce Pearl I can see the Pearl ship sailing, but I think he would help make IU a national relevant program again before retiring. I think May is the most realistic of the top candidates, but we will see. I think he will do great things at IU, but curious to see how this all unfolds.

Just ignore the trolls and stop giving them what they want , a response. Goodnight Hoosier fans, season’s almost over!

Yep!

So sad. Loads of talent, terrible team, and poorly coached. NCAA Tournament is in their grasps and they fumbled it endlessly tonight. Can’t wait for this season to be over.

Any once again, get it to 5, the. Give up a 3 (that wasn’t a clean look but still) and then offensive foul on IU. They can’t get out of their own way in this game.

It’s there for the taking at times, but IU keeps making bad decisions instead of the right plays. IU has a chance, but has to step up consecutive plays without let downs.

Well, our bigs were terrible and we couldn’t throw it into the ocean. Not much else you can expect to happen. Atrocious offensive scheme that gets hardly anything, and we hold the ball for 10-15 seconds. I don’t get the hesitation for this team to run and gun. Struggle to score so why not try to get cheap baskets? I’m sick of this head coach and his abilities. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such wasted talent.

I truly don’t see a way we could get worse. Even with options like Cronin towards the bottom, that’s WAY better than Woodson. Trust me, I want a dynamite hire, but we have plenty of really good options that are realistic.

I think our scheme does him more harm than good. Not saying he’s some amazing player, but he’s not this bad.

This is why I refused to get too involved and excited about Stevens. Was hopeful, but it was a long shot to begin with. Maybe we are lucky and it’s just a smokescreen, but IU has several options on the table that could be home runs. IU basketball will go on, and I still truly trust Dolson to get this hire right. I think he deserves that after the Cignetti hire. May, Beard, Pearl, etc are all good options that we can possibly get. Keep the faith and carry on!
