Is the Scarlet Knights a tribute to Indiana's Robert Montgomery Knight and the three National Championships won under his coaching? Rutgers is decent on offense and soft on defense. They are still adjusting to Harper being so good on offense. Bailey is still working through his adjustments. IU is a good shooting team, except for threes. Defensively, they are ok if they try. Do not lose the ball with turnovers and go after rebounds. Both teams are struggling for different reasons. Rutgers has whiffed on the transfer portal bigs. And they are focusing on offense more than defense this year in order to recruit those that want to get into the NBA. IU is struggling because...well, we know why...effort, lack of focus, chemistry, ball handling, effort, few threes, coaching and effort.

If Rice does better in assists to turnover...and we rebound... Rut Roh Wise Guys 74 Indiana Semi-Pro Hirelings 80 Woody has fine-tuned his glare. IU wins this swing game. Is Ballo playing? Can IU stop their guards? Watch Ballo away from the basket guarding Harper. Sickening...

We have to know...inquiring minds... Round up the usual suspects.

I had to go and take a purdump. How did Texas get possession and another TD. That is a bunch of ....

Miles should have drilled it from half court.

Woody shows a stall offense.

Yeah. Reneau should have gone for the intentional. That was hardly worth the call. A wee bump.

Will you people just quit with the negativity. You are bringing my headache back. And it is cold and those are flurries. That or my dandruff is back and I'm almost bald.

Give Ballo an electric guitar and he's doing Jimi Hendrix. Far out!

Decent camera work until just now. They just had a shot of Woody glaring.

Once Coach Cignetti was picked, my expectations jumped. Then finding out about his winning and demanding no limitations..plus my friend, a coach, concurred..Coach Cig is a winner. His impact is going to be huge... I stretched my preseason guess to 8 wins and a bowl invite. 11 wins and in the hunt for the championship! The Bucket, rhe post season, top 5 rating, BCS..wow. we'll done team! Thank you. (And thanks to this excellent fan forum and the mods and posters.)

"...something more fan facing...' and "...fan experience...' is their goal. Crystal balling it...seems that they are In the preliminary plan phase and do some better preliminary estimating ...figuring out concepts and seeing how much they can get for the capital they have accumulated. Likely then predesign, design, and construction. Will likely roll the preliminary plans out in public meetings. If they need more funding, with the predesign/conceptual drawings, they can set up meeting with potential donors and do the ask. Also said something about upgrade the media areas. Maybe even upgrade stuff outside of the stadium. May even have to expand the trophy cabinets and a walk of fame...if you know what I mean. Maybe they will add beer taps for craft beers and increased capacity and numbers. Also, expand and upgrade bathrooms. And no, they won't add a pen for a bison. They tried that before. IU does not need a mascot. What they need is a new head basketball coach, maybe a new university president, make advanced education more affordable and accessible, and a win tonight.

The above are excerpts from the writing by someone else and posted above by Stuhoo. I disagree with most of the premise of the post. It is an ok movie. But I liked that this guy had a dream...actually a couple of them. Remember, he wanted to be on the team. He got on the team. He also wanted to graduate from Notre Dame. He graduated from Notre Dame. The writer posits that he got to play in a game because of pity skews what really that was all about. He got to play on one game because his teammates liked him, respected him and appreciated that his dedication also helped them to grow. And contrary to the article, he did not throw his life away pursuing a dream that he was unfit to attain and make his own. He achieved his goals, both of them. Also he gained a bunch of lifetime friends. He also opened many more doors for whatever his future visions might be, he learned a lot about himself, earned the degree and achieved two of his dreams while a young adult. Now, he can dream and pursue other goals using what he has attained and learned as a young adult. Should women be kept unseen, at home, making babies and not going out into the world to pursue other vocations and helping society? Should Helen Keller not have been allowed to pursue her dreams? Should Stephen Hawkings not be a professor of theoretical physics? Should children with learning disabilities be allowed to excel and possibly use that as a strength? Should those of different races and cultures not be allowed to pursue happiness and strive to improve in accordance with their dreams? Should the disabled or those less fortunate with less opportunities to improve their lot not pursue 'above their obvious station in life'? Why is someone else trying to put other people down when they pursue a very difficult quest. Let Don Quixote be Don Quixote. It is exactly who he is.

Jakai can't catch a break. Hope it isn't as serious as the previous injury/redshirt. We are cheering for you, Jakai. Get well. Get better. We need you. This season, if you are up to it.

No such thing. There are competent attorneys. A few.... The words...good and attorney are mutually exclusive.

Lookout Mountain Braggers 65 Indiana Hookers 84 I am most definitely going to watch this game. Can IU get over the Lookout Mountain hump? I didn't think that Nebraska had as high a hump as they did. (Unless I have to do dishes or clean the house or run an errand.) /s

How about a prediction league thread for the exact date that Indiana University formally announces that CMW is to leave and the agreement is formally signed, sealed and done. It is my opinion that it is critical to have his replacement all but lined up.

Do not look at the contract for finality. They can negotiate it away. For instance, if Woody agrees, then pay him extra to leave early. There are other options too. If he is found in violation of any part of the contract, then they can claim he broke it. So look at the future as an opportunity. If they say to Woody, that he is gone. Maybe there are options to leaving early that just may help him.

Never said Woodson is not to blame. Get rid of that argument. There is none. I made the point that both Woodson and IU administration have seriously botched this.

One may consider calming down and try to appreciate that other people have differing opinions. It makes this site and living a lot more enjoyable. Especially if one listens to understand another point of view, rather than with the intent to just respond and diss. Some of us may appreciate another person explaining why the other person's opinion may not be correct. Rhetoric is cool. But it doesn't necessarily carry the discussion forward. I would like to hear why hiring Woodson had nothing to do with the program being mismanaged (in my opinion) by the Board of Trustees and the Department.

Good catch. I forgot. I believe that Dolson was helping provide the short list to the Recommendation Committee (ie one of the team for the hired search & vetting consulting firm). If I remember correctly.
