Yep, I'm calling it now. If we lose to Rutgers, he'll announce his retirement by the end of January.

Nervous that we might win? Me too.

The "I did my job" comment after a 19 win season irritates me just as much. That's like me telling my parents I did my job with a C+ average on my report card.

Hard pass on Shrewsberry. I could eventually be convinced, but an awful lot of candidates would have to say no first before I'd give him an interview.

College sports are such a cesspool right now. Anyone who can get sued WILL get sued. There's a reason professional sports don't operate this way.

So true. Except it's probably closer to $2M. This season is going to get so much worse. Just feels like the train is at the point right before it totally derails.

Wouldn't surprise me. Doesn't make him a hypocrite though. You can hate the game, but also recognize the reality of what it takes to be successful these days.

He didn't even deserve an interview.

Love it. I hope he's got speed to burn. We need a burner at the WR position to get separation. Most of our guys have typically been possession type receivers.

100%. If he's actually worth $400K then he should have no problem earning that somewhere else. We all know that would never happen. Ultimately I couldn't care less, good for him for getting life changing money at such a young age. From a fan's perspective though, it does not seem like a wise allocation of finite resources.

For God's sake. Can we please just end this disaster already? The only way to inject some life into this program is to remove the guy who is stepping on its throat.

That is pitiful if true. I had to implore my wife not to buy me tickets this year, as every season she wants to spring for great seats and a weekend in Bloomington for us. Yeah this is not the year honey.

Dream season, and it wasn't a fluke. Cignetti is the real deal. Time will tell if we remain in the CFP conversation in years to come, but I'm confident we're no longer a guaranteed win on anyone's schedule, and that we'll always be in bowl games.

I can't help but wonder how differently the game would have gone if Rourke didn't throw a pick in the red zone on that drive right after the Ponds interception in the 1st quarter. Confidence is everything when your team is less talented and has to play with a chip on its shoulder, and a TD there would have definitely given us confidence. Frustrating.

Yeah too bad it'll be 3rd and 18 in a hurry on our next drive.

Only a 2 score game, but feels like we're down 30. Doesn't look like we have any moxie at all to get hot and make it a game.

This is so fu***** ugly

I legit could stomach this season a little bit better if he had even an ounce of humility on this past season's Senior Day. If he said something to the effect of "This season didn't go the way we expected or wanted, but we're gonna keep fighting to get better. This university deserves more. IU fans deserve more. I appreciate all of your support." I would be way more inclined to watch games, and would probably feel a connection to this team at least to the point I don't want the head coach run out of town on the next train. But instead what do we get? An F-U attitude, implying those who question him aren't "true fans", putting forth no effort in recruiting, activating the burner squad on social media, and the business between him and the Hoosier Hysterics coming to light. Hopefully he doesn't get to resign. I want him fired.

I noticed that too. Today I learned at least 7 AP voters don't watch college basketball.

Yeah I 100% interpret that as a shot against our program under Woodson.

It's a long shot, but the way things are going I would absolutely take Musselman at USC before I'd take us and MSU.

USC deserves a mention with Musselman there.

I still can't f***ing believe we hired Mike Woodson.

Granted last night was the first full game I've watched all season, but I really like Myles Rice. It's sad to see his talent go to waste in this system.

So do we see a transfer this week? I imagine the window closes in the next few days if it hasn't already if your desire is not to have this year count against you.
