    General Coach Candidate News

    Teams still had to win the conference to get in early in Coach Knight's tenure. IU played in a postseason tournament for conference runners-up in 1974 called something like the commissioner's tourney or something like that.
  2. Doubtful. I'd guess they probably produce more poets than football players.

    IUBB vs Iowa - Tuesday, 01.30.24 @ 7:00 on BTN

    In the player interviews last night, Leal was asked a question about Cupps performance. He reached over a rubbed Cupps his head and talked about how hard he works. Just like a proud big brother. Leal will play within the game plan and fulfill his role. I think the problem with Gunn and Banks is that they haven't fully understood their roles and deviate from the things that would benefit the team the most. I'm still hopeful that they figure it out.

    What he can do is attract the attention of one more defender and help to open up the floor.

    General Coach Candidate News

    I am done with Stevens and Donovan. Discussions about coaching changes are, in my opinion, the most exhausting we have. I get the frustration with our current situation but to hit the reset button again so soon just feels painful.

    IUBB vs Purdue - Tuesday, 01.16.24 @ 7:00

    We have enough talent when focused to beat Purdue in the Hall. Problem is that we don't seem to be focused all that often. So, while we can win, I just don't think we will.
  9. I'm sure to some extent this sort of thing has always been going on. But now, with NIL, it's going to be worse and more well known. Putting a team together is not an easy task.

    IUWBB @ Iowa - Saturday, 01.13.24 @ 8:00 ET on Fox TV

    An absolutely uncalled for comment by DD. He contributes nothing positive to society, and I say that as someone who liked him at one time.

    I'm with you. Radio for me on this one. Never watching anything on the P. Cock.

    I thought we were firing CMW, are we not now?

    College Bball Thread

    Painter is a really good coach. He wins and loses with class and, for a university that I detest, is a very likeable guy. When they sucked a few years ago, he took complete responsibility for it, changed his recruiting philosophy, and here we are. He has continuity in the program and doesn't turn the roster over in a major way each year. Maybe we get back there some day.

    2023-24 IUFB Transfer Portal

    About as excited about IU football as I have been since..... well, it's been a very long time. This program has needed a coach with swagger who can sell it to the players. CCC has a plan and believes in it. We are not on a multiyear rebuild. We are on a win NOW plan. I love it.

    Maybe some kids just like the medieval appeal of being a Scarlet Kinght.
