  1. The natives are getting restless in Lexington. Don't count out Calipari bolting for a different job if UK gets bounced early from the tournament, especially with the expectations set by this freshman class. Maybe we end up with Fland after all.
  2. Yeah I don't see why his buyout was anything more than $1,000,000. Even that is too much. Who were we afraid was going to come after him given the chance he had incredible success early on?
  3. You are correct. Didn't know that. He was fired in 2020 after winning 41% of his games the previous 6 years, and only one winning season.
  4. If you're looking to make a case about an "ism" I really think you'd have a stronger one to make about ageism than racism.
  5. Archie Miller's 3rd season ended in March 2020, when covid was just getting started. That's a pretty big reason he got a 4th. Nobody was getting let go in March of 2020. Concerns about athletics were understandably put on the backburner. All indications were that we were pretty solidly in the tournament after beating Nebraska the first night of the BTT, so he wouldn't have been fired anyway. He was fired the very next season.
  6. Plus, Archie would have 100% been in the tournament in 2020 if covid hadn't caused its cancellation. We would have been a low seed, maybe a 10, but we were in the play in game during Woodson's first year. The argument that Woodson got us to where Archie couldn't is disingenuous.
  7. Dolson is probably telling Woodson "come on man we're trying to help keep your seat cool but help us out a little."
  8. Poor guy should have just stuck it out at Ball State. He had a great role and good thing going there. He just seems like a fish out of water at IU.
  9. Man, things will get awfully ugly if we drop this and then the Purdue game. I predict things will get ugly.
  10. A lot of high major schools are going to wish they gave Schertz an opportunity IMO. He may not check all the boxes, but he just spends his career winning. I like that.
  11. I wonder if there's any chance Mark Few wants a change of scenery after this season. The only thing he's missing on his resume is that national title, and maybe he thinks that opportunity has come and gone at Gonzaga. At 61, it's now or never for him.
  12. Fife turning off CNN? That's awesome.
  13. Honestly what is the best case scenario for Dolson or the BoT at this point? Do they really think Woodson is the guy we should entrust the future of our program to?
  14. Well I can guarantee this is the absolute last thing Dolson and the IU administration wanted to have happen today. I feel like they're just spending the remaining season closing their eyes, crossing their fingers, and praying we get to the tournament so the heat is off Woodson so they don't have to come up with another buyout.
  15. Enough about the coaching, what do you think of the players?
  16. Yep I like to call them the Buckner bots. They'll be on overdrive after this one.
  17. Musselman may be trying to leave Arkansas after this season because he's worried about the effect this scandal/drama will have on recruiting. If you don't know what the scandal/drama relates to, it's not hard to find on Twitter. It's, let's say, a sign of the times I guess.
  18. Well I just wonder which refs were reffing when PU beat Arizona, Marquette, Tennessee, and Bama. I'd love to believe they flame out early yet again too, but also accepting the possibility this could be their year after all.
  19. McKenzie back to college? Yes. I'm just hoping it's not at another school. Same with Malik.
  20. "Wow! Purdue can really play great defense without fouling. Northwestern could really stand to learn a thing or two." - Robbie Hummel, probably
  21. Thank goodness. Happy for these guys. You can tell they wanted this bad. Onto the next one.
  22. Might be my imagination, but I've noticed an uptick in pro-Woodson talk from new accounts on some iu sites I frequent. I do think the athletic department is going all out on positive PR for Woodson.
  23. I don't know what it means to be "back", I just know this isn't it.
