Since a handful of posters have taken it upon themselves to repeatedly post that he'll still be around, I say go for it.

They called it a road win when Purdue won there a couple years ago, so I'm expecting it to be a neutral win for us.

Good thing the conference is so big now that we only have to play this team once.

Close for a quarter. Looking like a repeat of the UNC game.

6:45 without a point. Just can't happen against a team this good.

Nice recovery after looking starstruck early on.

Now 10.5. Are we sure we're at full strength? I don't disagree that they could beat us by double digits, but that line jumped up in a hurry.

Opening line was UCLA -7.5 and has already jumped to 9.5.

UK obviously didn't get that memo last spring. Then again, they don't run their program like a bunch of teenage girls afraid to wear a new dress to the dance. I have no idea how long they planned on him being here. I think they hoped for at least 4 years, which is why they went with 6 for the contract. I think Buckner wanted an extension after Year 2, but Dolson hadn't seen enough, and that's why he got a raise instead. Regardless, letting a coach go into his last 2 seasons with no clear future kills recruiting. They aren't going to bring him back on just 2 years.

Of course. Coaches rarely reach the end of their contracts. Woodson himself said he wanted to win right away because he knew he didn't have a lot of time to do it.

It keeps getting drowned out, but I'll keep posting it anyway: Woodson has 2 years left on his contract. If we planned on him being here more than 4 years, we would have already extended him.

Seems a lot of Big Ten teams are hitting 100+ recently. We haven't scored 100 against a Big Ten team since Crean was here.

I'm guessing Twitter. I finally caved and put him on ignore. Hate to do that to anybody, but comments like that are just trolling.

Have we made this many 3's in a single game post-Crean?

Off topic, but Purdue is trailing Minnesota by a point early in the second half.

Best case scenario for us is probably staying as close as Washington did (73-62). They've been vaporizing everyone in their path and I could see us getting way behind right out of the gate.

You might want to learn how buyouts actually work.

I see this a lot and I'm curious why not? Sure, it's not real common for a coach to change jobs after a year, but coaches don't usually have the chance to move to their alma mater after one year somewhere else, either.

Dusty May and Ben McCollum beg to differ.

So, is Woodson even actively recruiting anyone now or has he completely thrown in the towel?

We'll stumble into one or two somewhere. I also expect us to drop at least 3 at home.

Sorry to interrupt this dramatic finish, but...

Get ready for the narratives about SEC teams all beating each other up and how they just had nothing left for the bowls (which would totally contradict the narrative that more of them should have been in the CFP, but they probably haven't thought that far ahead yet).

11-2 after opening conference play in style today by scoring 55 points against previously 5-8 Duquesne.

Our non-con SOS on Kenpom is 181. Will be interesting to see where that number lands in March. I'm only bringing this up because at the end of the previous 3 years it was 319, 266 and 223.
