Yikes…

I have had some time to sleep and think...and cool down. I still think we need a change, but that change isn't happening... Now, I am not saying by any means he is going to be able to have success, but the reality now is that he's coming back. I've accepted it, and I am going to do my best to shift my energy towards being hopeful that he can figure it out vs. hoping he doesn't and the direction of this program nose dives. I'd much rather spend next year celebrating wins vs. watching the house burn. For a fan that only follows IU basketball and football, my team is on the floor. I can't help but wish for the best and be optimistic, and regardless of how annoyed my wife is, I will continue to watch.

Twitter is truly is another world...I stay away as much as possible. I do wonder now though how much the "everyone is leaving if Woodson is back" rumors were true. The team we have seen the last couple games, and especially last night, didn't seem like one that has checked out with each other or their coach. If anything, they looked more together last night than they have all year. I think we will most likely see transfers from a couple not seeing the floor (Gunn, Banks), but I guess if anything I remain hopeful that we can retain reneau, mgbako and cupps, bring in Mcneeley and try to build around that in the portal. I just want a fun year of college basketball darnit.

Ware's Instagram story after the win last night is the Photo of Woodson with his tongue out from the radio show the other day. I'd say the team is aware of the noise about their coach haha.

If there was ever a year for us to win the big ten tourney...this strange year would be it haha.

I’ll give him credit, he helps us push pace as well. I’ve noticed the last 3 games we’ve really been pushing the ball, from the tip.

What does 12 vs like 15-17 do for net…we needed that win to be by as much as possible.

I will say…this doesn’t seem like a team that’s given up on their coach…

Just no awareness there…give Garcia the layup, we need you on the floor. And it was blatantly clear he fouled.

Malik…ware has 3…maybe don’t swipe down at that layup dudeeeee

God I hate that so much for Walker. Don’t know what a timeline looks like on a hyper extension.

I also don’t understand how the tide turned in the media so drastically, only to have this dropped today.

Wellllllllppppppp, that stinks if true. Scared to see how ugly this gets. I live in Arizona, some good basketball in my backyard with GCU and Tucson not far. That’s the positive for me haha.

Respectfully, come on what? Did you miss the part in my post that you quoted where I clarified him using those exact words with..."kind of", and noted that he used "was" vs. "is" in the quotes, or the following posts where I agreed with btownqb that he didn't state "it is" his dream job but that he toed the line as close as you can get in all of the pre-game media? I agree with you that no coach can say that, at least publicly...but BP still loves him some Indiana and he went above and beyond to make that known with his comments before we played them.

Agreed...he cannot come out and say that, at least not publicly. I think the line he walked in all of the pre-game media was as close as you can get.

I made this edit to my post just before you replied, see my post. Thought you were arguing he had never made a comment that IU would be a dream job for him, see you are making the point that he has not been quoted saying IU "IS my dream job". But one could argue, if it was his dream job then, it likely is still his dream job now. BP loves him some Indiana.

No dog in this fight, but in this article he's quoted saying those exact words, kind of...says "was" vs. "is" - https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/my-two-cents-for-auburn-coach-bruce-pearl-indiana-was-my-dream-job "Indiana was my dream job, it really was,'' Pearl told me. "I love everything about Indiana basketball, really loved and admired Coach Knight as a young coach myself, and it's one of the great programs in America. "The timing was never right, I suppose. I guess, what, I was at Tennessee and really enjoying that and I love Auburn now. So nothing ever really aligned, but it would have been a dream come true to coach Indiana. That's how much I love and respect that program.''

I think he has already started that PR Campaign. The media tide has shifted very noticeably over the last week.

That's painful...

Keep your religion out of my basketball!!! Only thing I want to worship is winning!

I think I'd stroke out on the spot if those news tickers came across my screen, right next to "Indiana gives Woodson nod for 4th year"....

Now I’m just asking…. Win the next two, and two in the BTT…do we move the needle enough for us to be on the bubble?

The Hoosiers are going to pull it off. Always time to change your mind Queen haha

Been a fun half so far. Is this the X Woody thinks about before bed each night? I think it is haha.

Are you joking
