    I think Pearl is a far better choice than Calipari. Worlds better.
    But to me the object is to roll the dice on a potential 30 year hire, not grab a 64 year old who is looking for a big pre-retirement paycheck.

    Don’t insult us IU fans!  Never compare us to Cub fans, maybe Reds fans but never Cub fans, lmao!

    As stuhoo likes to say, it doesn't matter who we don't get, it matters who we get. 
    And they left an open scholarship instead of grabbing a needed guard, who would have made them better than they were. IU would have been a lot better with xj on the floor all year, but guess what? He got injured. It happens. And Woodson didn't have a backup plan. He didn't prepare for all of the alternatives. It doesn't matter the stories of all of the other recruits who didn't show up. He needed an extra spot filled in case of injury and he failed

    I don't do parleys, I always lose 1 or 2 games in a 10 leg parlay so I always play the classic pick a.lineup on draftkings and have had some success with that method. 
    I wish I could get it right better with the parleys but I have never won one

    Okay, sure. But here's the other rub:
    It has been Woody's job to make the decisions on who to promise playing time and featured roles to, and who not to. At the expense of other options, they chose to go with Trey and X and put their faith in CJ Gunn as depth.
    Trey? Sure. He's limited but had an excellent year last year and does a number of things well. X? He was seriously injured with a foot that could have been a recurring problem, in the past he's been in various kinds of trouble, and most of all, he wasn't at all guaranteed to get that sixth year. CJ? They saw him every day last year and completely mis-judged how good he would be this year. Completely misjudged. 
    So our staff made the choice to not say "sayonara" to X and replace him and CJ with different guard(s). It did not work out all that well. And that effected winning, which is ultimately how the staff will be judged. If X leads us to four more straight wins and a Sweet Sixteen? Unlikely, but if that happens the staff should gets all the credit for sticking with X.

    It isn’t an age thing, it is giving a ****. For all that is made of the fact that we can’t fire Woody after 3 years because he is an IU guy, how unforgivable is it that he does not want to do the things that are necessary to succeed? This job should matter more to him, because he is an IU guy. That is such a slap in the face to all of us ToXiC fans.
    Say what you will about Dusty May, I guarantee that guy would put every ounce of his being into making Indiana basketball successful again.

    There is a good chance we can finally get rid of the Hysterics. Eric went live on Twitter saying it’s the fans fault. He clearly got that from the staff. He’s been ripped on Peegs in multiple threads for the last 2 hours. They are hammering him. I love it.

    So there is a new poster that may or may not be a trustee, while the poster that told us not to criticize or wait to pass judgment is nowhere to be found  
    Is it really a new poster, or is it the same poster under a different name? Stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel
