Bizarro world. IUBB has turned into the Washington Generals, IUFB looks like a powerhouse and playing for a national title.

We couldn't fire Woodson after 3 years, people might make the mistake of thinking this is a serious program.

This is IU. He'd get 4 minimum even if it was beyond obvious he should be gone after 3.

It was Woodson, that money would've been better used if it was burned for heat. His coaching could've screwed up the 92 Dream Team.

Because it's year 1. We keep coaches too long, but year 1 is a bit trigger happy.

Because it's IU. Any coach has to have plenty of time to make a complete mess of things. Short of some sort of scandal, like hiring hookers for recruits, you couldn't get anyone if you fired a coach after year 1.

Rich people threw good money to try and buy a roster that Woodson couldn't screw up. Rich doesn't mean smart.

Wow, Woodson never should've been hired and it took longer than this for the fire thread to get started. Impressive, impressively awful but impressive. I had the same feeling about Devries that I had about Miller. I was right the first time, we'll see if I'm right again. Should've been a red flag when the only player from his last team that wanted to follow him was his son. Of course, this is IU and if this administration was capable of good basketball decisions the last 25+ years wouldn't have happened. They've been so utterly incompetent you'd be forgiven for thinking they were intentionally ruining the program.

Hopefully Haines has something cooked up to get in the backfield, that Miami OL has a lot of beef up front. The average weight difference between their OL and our DL is something like 60 pounds; our guys have a chip and have shown they shouldn't be underestimated but that's a good size difference.

I'm not really worried about this game. Miami is a good team, they're good against the run and have some players that could be problems; a loss would suck but wouldn't be surprising. Plus this has already been an extraordinary season by IUFB standards. 2 years in we won the B1G, left Bama somewhere along the highway in Pasadena, and if we beat the Ducks any worse PETA would've gotten involved. Recruiting looks to be on the upswing and the team is fundamentally sound and disciplined. Winning it all would be icing on what's already been a very sweet treat. That said, I would thoroughly enjoy it if we went BTA on them. So I hope the team and staff got new belts, the last ones have to be wore out.

The coaches know what happens in practice and clearly feel Bailey is a better option.

Put in the guy that hasn't been able to beat out Reed Bailey. That's a bold strategy, cotton.

Figures Miami would be on there. Beck has to be out of eligibility after approximately 23 years in college.

Never would've thought we'd be playing for a title in football before basketball.

Seems pretty clear the staff wants to add another running back. Beebe, Richard, Martin, Cuono already on the roster so seems like someone would be leaving.

I work with a Penn State fan and asked him about Harris's production declining last year, and his response was "Jim Knowles". He was brought in under Franklin when Allen was the DC.

Nice. His production took a step back this year but I didn't see much Penn State so I can't say why

Miami does have a good team. Plus Carson Beck has plenty of experience since he's almost old enough to draw social security.

Sorry for the language, but I laughed harder than I should have at this.

I'd love to add Harris and he has good size for a corner, but On3 has definitely missed before so I'll wait to see if he commits. Oregon was supposed to be the leader at one point too, granted that was before we went Old Yeller on them.

He played in 8 games I believe.

And Harris could've liked what he saw in the Peach Bowl when we dismantled the Ducks.

That'd be a good pickup. To be fair, On3 once had us as the favorite to land Parker Livingston IIRC.

Ohio State and Oregon both say "yes, yes they can".
