Oof, that’s the doomsday scenario. I’ve been as critical of Woody as anyone, but he has to see it through if he doesn’t leave in the next week or so. Otherwise we would crater like Mizzou.

Would you say his ejection didn’t pass the “eye test?” Mods please don’t ban me for life, I’ll show myself out.

I don’t think we are going to have the bodies, and they know it. The next 48-72 hours are going to be interesting. I don’t personally think he leaves because I don’t think he gets the money or usage elsewhere, but even AC last night finally commented on how bad/disconnected MR has looked for the last like 10 games. He looked like he was rounding into maybe an all-B1G type player and completely fell off the wagon. It’s probably nothing but I firmly believe we get at least one extra transfer no one outside the program is expecting. Edit: ACs student reported also stated the NIT news was making the rounds through press row several minutes before the game was even over. Osterman just waited to post it until the game was over.

We are the rubes. The Leal stuff, the Woodson stuff, DD, the hysterics, AC, fill in the blank. The only reason any of this even exists is the fan base. I said hundreds of pages ago, the only blue blood descriptor left for IU was the fan base. It’s all about dollar signs, and clicks=dollar signs. We are a huge and easily triggered fan base and rightfully so. Doyle is an idiot, DD is an idiot, trilly is half troll, but they all have one thing in common: they know the IU fanbase is good for clicks, and that means the IU fan base is good for money.

You forgot synergy. I’ve gotten job offers for using synergy when talking about nothing in interviews.

My wife and I use it ironically to each other all the time. “Did you get the dishes done?” “Let’s circle back when you get home.” It’s the worst.

That was quick lol

I feel for XJ.

1000 pages is back on the menu.

CJ Gunn going to single-handedly prevent us from losing by 40

Stoooooopppppppppp lmao

What just happened????

Banks Sighting!!!!

Getting the full MR experience tonight. foul out!

We are in no position to turn down the NIT unless we simply don’t have the bodies.

Welp, this Basil Hayden isn’t gonna drink itself.

Seriously someone smarter than me figure out if a team has fouled more shooters on 3PT shots than IU.

I have really changed my opinion on MM, I guess that’s not earth shattering news but I really like how he’s developed.

You’re wrong because they have all been involved policing it. But even if you weren’t, it’s not that serious bro.

Pretty sure anytime that’s happened it’s been mostly tongue in cheek since we are wallowing in the fire thread unless I missed someone being belligerent about positivity lol

Maybe we can come out and slash the lead down a la OSU. I suppose it’s possible. I would turn it off, but I know in a month when the tournament is over I will be counting the days until HH woody or otherwise. Is there a 12 step program for that??

It’s almost like we just beat a bunch of teams either A. Struggling (MSU, Wisky) or B. Bad.

Okay I love Joe the cameraman.

Will it mean IU isn’t the only P5 school in the country without a high school commit for 2024? If no, then yes. He has a lot of work to do this offseason before I am willing to say he deserves another year. It isn’t that I want Woodson fired so much as it is I want to be relevant and good. If this is some weird aberration and he’s the guy, fine. But we are neither relevant or good, Wins or otherwise. Because what I’ve seen in these wins are adjustments leading to more successful basketball. Adjustments many of us had been asking for since Army and FGCU. It stopped being about this seasons results for me when dropped out of the top-75 and went 1-31 in recruiting. A position it took 5 straight B1G wins to get us back to (Torvik, not Kenpom where we are still 80s). It’s way more nuanced than a run at the end of the season. I have said from the jump, if we had even a top-25 recruiting class, he deserves another year and I would have not even really cared how the end of the season played out. All of this is before you start talking about availability next season if he were to retire or get fired. It is not simply jumping ship in a down year. At least for me, YMMV.

That was why when all this happened I said Gallo I really didn’t care about. Talk all you want.
