    (2018) PF Jake Forrester to IU

    I'll just say this. I'm all for getting Garland and Langford as well and I'm willing to add whoever we need for the 2019 loaded class. Coach Miller's system needs to be in place and I understand he needs his players to do it. I just don't want him to Make oversign a habit. I bashed Coach Crean for it, and I'll do the same to coach Miller. Just my opinion.

    IU athletic department ranked 41/65

    Nothing personal but I think your just thinking from a local perspective. I base my opinion comparing everybody in a national scale. I think big ten titles are nice and all but from my time at Duke, UNC, and the University of Texas that they evaluate themselves compared to every school in the nation. You can be content with soccer right now, but we were a program that used to go to the college cup every other year. I don't demand national championships every year but we should have a chance to go more often then now. We were also the first big ten team since 1984 to go to the college World Series. I was upset that Smith left, but I thought we could have recruited a better coach ( preferably an assistant from the SEC) who would do better at developing our players. After all we had the distinction of getting a new stadium, facilities, and a chance to be elite in the big ten and thus an easier path to Omaha. You obviously haven't been to an IU volleyball game because you can tell her in game tactics stink. Her formations are awful and doesn't develop players well and yes there have been a few great athletes in her program that had great potential to be powerful strikers. If there is anything I give Glass credit for is the ability to raise money for facilities. I wish we could hire him just to focus on that. Look the article says we are 41 out of 65 for a reason. If your content with that, that's great for you. Not for me. By the way stop living in a world of absolutes, all of you act there is no room for a middle ground. I don't expect us to be the best of the best, but I do expect and strive to be better than 41 out of 65.

    I still think Glass should be fired. - yes we made the baseball tournament two of the last three years but before those years I thought we had an opportunity, with our new stadium and resources, to be an elite program one day (going to Omaha or Super Regionals every other year). - 2012 we did win a national championship in soccer but have done nothing since. Indiana is an elite soccer program and should be doing much better. - volleyball we really stink but yet have not made the decision to fire a bad coach (though I hear a nice person). - Basketball. I'm glad we have Archie, but Coach Crean should have been fired a few years ago. - I think the swimming teams have done well in the olympics, but have brought us few national titles ( I believe). - Football - I think Wilson was OK (results wise) and I like the guy we hired ( I'm afraid of losing him to a big football school though). I think we should be doing better as a program but that's just my opinion.

    #IUBASE - 2017 B1G Tournament

    I disagree because Indiana made it to the College World Series. The last time a Big Ten School did that was 1984 ( I believe) . We have top tier resources and the Big Ten (though not a big history in baseball) is still a big boy conference. This is a chance to be build ourselves to be contenders and be a powerhouse in the conference. Nothing wrong with failing but I have a problem is we don't go for it.

    Report: Thomas Bryant to hire agent

    I think he's being real dumb and needs better people to give advice. Next year he could have been a first rounder in a weak draft. It's too bad.

    Report: Thomas Bryant to hire agent

    Ugh bad choice in my opinion. Love him to death but he really needs a lot of development.
  11. To be honest all the cheating has took a toll on me. I've stopped watching college sports for the past three years. I live in NC and I just got tired of people using the same excuse, " everybody cheats now", to justify their actions. I also got tired being labeled jealous. I thought that the beauty of sports was that everything was played on a equal field, but I guess I was delusional.

    Who needs porn when you have the possibility of Billy Donovan coaching at IU. Exciting stuff.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    I look at it another way. Billy Donovan would be in a tough spot if he keeps getting asked about the IU position. I think if it's true Glass could wait till July 1st ( presumably when the THunder are eliminated from the Playoffs), to help ease Donovan's transition to IU. Just my guess.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Is there anyone here that still supports the idea of Coach Crean being our coach next year? Just curious.

    I wonder how much it will be to have a full page ad in the IDS? Hmmmm.

    I'm going to get pissed if I see a NIT championship rafter hung up at assembly hall. And yes i know one is already there. It was stupid then and it's stupid now.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    He's not going to make as much money in another school. Coach Crean needs to accept it.
