I'd take an incandescent Bobby Knight over an incompetent Tom Crean. Any. Day. Of. The. Week.

I'm not referring to his personal traits, but to his approach to the game. He and his teams were very disciplined in their system, play and mental approach to the game of basketball.

Greatest coach ever at IU. He's everything Tom Crean isn't and everything our program needs in a newer model. A great, disciplined leader, coach, teacher, and strategist. Someone who brings in young men of character and integrity with steely determination, focus, intelligence and grit. An evening listening to Bob Knight's take on any subject is a night well spent.

I think the confluence of negative factors surrounding our IU Hoosiers, (lousy season, lousy coach and success in West Lafayette) has had a detrimental affect on my intestinal tract. Each time I read or hear about Tom Crean, my gut wrenches and I'm forced to flee to the nearest porcelin facilities for emergency evacuation. I seriously think I've developed Pavlovian bowels. I hope Fred Glass takes this in to account when contemplating Crea.....Crea....Creannnn's dismissal. Oooh, I gotta go now.

I won't feel confident about anything until I hear an ESPN breaking news report, "Clappy out at IU".

I think Tom Crean should be retained as coach, if only for his entertainment value and comic ability. Indeed, (and I mean this with all my heart), if the whole world were a circus, Tom Crean would be its #1 Clown. That’s hard to replace.

LMAO.

Of course, this scenario would never happen, but...... Assuming that one had a chance to lure Donovan or Stevens to IU, but not until say, 2019/2020, would you consider approaching coach Knight about coming back for a one or two year contract to stabilize the program, heal the fan base, mend fences, then hand off to one of the two or more aforementioned coaches? Be nice, I'm only tossing this out for discussion.

If Crean is looking for an extension, it's gonna have to come from his doctor and no one else.

Bwaaaaaahahaaaaahahhaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yup, that was the one. lol

Good lookin' kid. Hope he'll be coming to IU.

I thought the best pick of the day was the one Crean set on the sideline against Wagner. Classic.

The Wolves would beat em'.

I like our new coach and I like the kids he seems to be bringing in. If nothing else, I bet our defense becomes quite good.

I don't like that the kid was in any way involved in such an act, but to a degree, I have to allow for the poor decision making of hormonally driven teenagers, (at least where there has been some level of consent, as apparently there was). Stupid actions for sure, but I can't see ruining his playing career over it. I wonder, if IU pulled his scholarship offer, and the kid could pay his own way, would he still be welcome on the team?

Let's hope we can land this kid. The tape looks nice and he could be a decent "move the chains" type receiver.

I love this kid. Really nice pick up for us.

Was nice to see something resembling defense. I hope that the reason it looked good was not due to the level of competition. We shall see. The offense is a work in progress, but as that's Wilson's forte, it should improve through the season.

Just jointed Straight8's pro pickem game, but damn I hate playing those "confidence" type games. I have no confidence when it comes to those.

Then we'd better get on with it. lol

Is there not going to be a College pickem game this year?

So, Nat, are you going to organize college and pro football pickem's again this year? I'm ready to get cranking.
