Hate to say it, but I’m not getting a good feeling about the end of this game.

Just being honest here, but in my opinion, the #1 mismatch in this marriage is Romeo. Sometimes a matchup just doesn’t work. The #2 mismatch I see is Archie to Romeo. Somewhere, the communication has just point blank failed. It ain’t working. As far as team chemistry goes, sometimes the star is the chemistry problem, rather than guys reacting negatively to the stars presence.

I couldn’t say it any better. I’ve watched him closely since 6th grade. Is he athletic? Yes. Is he talented? Yes. But I can say firsthand that he was not served well while in high school. It’s showing big time now.

Yep. Romeo isn’t what everybody thinks Romeo is, or has been touted as.

Don’t you mean each passing play? lol Seriously, I hear ya. This team is bad.

We’re not a tournament team, nor should we be.

I see a lot of talk about our cupboard being somewhat bare this year, and I agree with that... to a point. ALL of these guys, right down to the final walk on sitting on the bench, should be capable of playing a very solid game of fundamental basketball. All of them. Softness indicates laziness, and it doesn’t take a 5 star to play tough, hard nosed, basic basketball. That’s what I’m going to be looking for the rest of the season, just hard nosed fundamental basketball. And some hard assed coaching to boot.

If I’m Archie, I’m cutting my losses this season. I’m finding me 10 guys who will do exactly what I tell them to do, even if they fail miserably in doing it. Willingness is the key here. Then, I’m sending Newkirk and RoJo packing. Sometimes things are simply better through subtraction.

Pathetic. Miller needs to have them run the steps in the Hall until they puke. Then have them run the steps at the football stadium until they need the coroner.

So, where do you think Knight, Coach K, Beilein, and Donovan came from?

You mean like Knight when he came from Army, right? Or, Beilein when he left Richmond, or Donovan when he left Marshall? How about Bill Self when he left Tulsa? I could go on and on with "successful" coaches, who were named to big programs having no big program experience. None of these guys were big name coaches before taking over big programs. Hell, let's throw Coach K into this discussion too. [emoji849] I'm seeing some faulty logic with your argument here. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'll just throw my IU stuff away and find some other school to root for. An Alford hire would just be more of the same old crap, a school that doesn't know how to make a good hire. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Dakich trying like hell to save face today. Opened his mouth a bit too far the last few days. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Us southern Indiana guys are going to have the last laugh though. All these naysayers are going to hide when IU starts punching everybody in the mouth again. I believe Glass already has his guy and that it's a matter of timing at this point.

He'll be doing guest appearances on Swamp People.

I think in the long haul, CTC will be remembered very favorably, if for nothing else than being willing to wade into our cesspool and clean it up. For that, IU will forever owe him our gratitude.

Exactly.

The look on his face when someone asked if he'd started fielding calls already from potential coaches was telling too.

Kinda thought that myself.

I'm wondering something here... Anybody think IU is going to take a look at Richard Pitino? Was just doing some reading on "potential candidates", and his name popped up.

Donovan.

Dakich has the butthurt meter pegged today.

Well... OK.
