Walking Boot of Doom

I have blind faith after experiencing the Zeisloft era. He seems grittier than Roth.

No lie, I hope we never have to speak of Green nor Smith again. We're seeing it on TV, hearing confirmations of it from sources close to the action, and our record is showing that the team is infected. I think we all, and the coaching staff, has identified the source of the infection. I want them both gone today. As Chris mentioned, the right thing to do as a coach is to remove them at season end. Reading all of those posts really pisses me off as someone who manages teams. Those are the worst people on earth - those who choose to destroy and prevent progress. Have we confirmed the individuals involved in the locker room fight? A gambler would put down some serious money on Green and Smith versus Romeo.

The AD is the boss. Your subordinates failures are ultimately your own. You don't need to self-report to hold your employees accountable to rules and morals. Jurich is just as much at fault as Pitino, and if you think otherwise, then you don't believe in the accountability you're begging for at Indiana.

That assistant actually runs their offense. That’s his role on the team. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Exactly. UK doesn’t make any sense for a kid that Cal already passed on for others in his position. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Romeo wasn’t creating enough space from Eastern all night. He consistently went too wide on screens allowing Eastern to come over the top and stay with him. Watched it happen at least 4 or 5 times. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You think Jurich didn’t know what was going on in his own AD? No chance. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This team played so hard. The defense by Durham and Phinisee was amazing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You play anyone else off the bench tonight and we’re not in this. They played tough and smart defense, but truly cannot shoot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He was clogging the lane. Pulled him to open it up. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’ve counted at least 4 shots rim in and out. Weird how bad we are at shooting from anywhere. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don’t mind the chant one bit. F them all. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Seems like there are only two possible outcomes, so one of will be right! I can see it going either way. UK made sense from the beginning to me, but we ended up in way better position than I thought possible.

For next season? Sure, we won't add an excellent scorer. However, I don't see it that way at all. IU will be in trouble if none of the guys on the roster develop. The entire team's improvement will have a much greater impact. We need TJD and Race to hold down the post and Phin to be an impactful PG.

I think the home appeal plus his friendships with TJD and Franklin win out. Archie and Co. answer the tough questions Keion and his family are asking, and Indiana lands their guy.

We can sell that though as well. I think we still are in a good position.

I think Al can lead by example, but I don’t know if he can be a drill sergeant. Jake Forrester seems to have potential there. Reminds me of Thomas Bryant a bit, if maybe slightly less emotional. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I’m with you man. There are people making this place absolutely unbearable. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Tom Jurich is everything wrong with college athletics. Win at all costs, rules and laws be damned. Hard pass. You’ll perpetually be disappointed in our ADs if that is what you want. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Thanks - sadly I’ve employed that function and lately I just end up scrolling through pages of the same five poster handles with hidden messages or end up reading them when they’re quoted anyway. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nah, maybe once you’re done posting your routine garbage. It’s truly obnoxious. I think the mods try really hard to be extremely fair to all, but I’d ban you. Don’t know why you’re here to post non-stop misery. Why be so miserable? Stop watching. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Brooks was MSU’s until Archie made it a possible reality. Now it may or may not be a reality. So what was once just a fact is now a kiss of death. This is nonsensical. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Fraud. Keyboard all-star. Sup Eddy! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Neither of you have an ounce of objectivity. We have a 5 star McDAA signed up for next year. Guess what Brooks is not? Both of you, jump off the proverbial cliff or stop posting the same garbage. There are many here with intelligent thoughts on either side of the coin improving discussion on the board. Neither of you are one of those people. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The Hartman comments jive with what we’re seeing. Zero player leadership and ownership, excluding some like Al and Morgan, but neither seem like get in your face and yell type guys. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
