  1. Is that the same league as the Savannah Bananas?
  2. Bronny’s got a great corner/safety build tbh. Edit: thought I was in the IUFB portal thread
  3. The NBA doesn’t even try to hide the fact that the lottery is rigged. There has been example after example. I’m not even a Pacers fan, but with the way Silver targeted the Pacers this season, there was zero chance he was letting the organization keep its pick.
  4. NO getting Zion after trading AD, and then Dallas getting Flagg after trading Luka. And countless other examples. The rigging is beyond obvious. And Adam Silver is just a terrible commissioner. Teams “tank” because the draft is the only way small market teams can really build a contender. Order the draft based on record like the NFL and be done with it. No one whines about tanking in the NFL. But Adam Silver treats it like a plague that must be completely eradicated.
  5. Lol what a loser. Although in fairness to him, he couldn’t even handle t30 minutes of BTA before 5 ended his season, so he unfortunately didn’t get the full IU defensive experience.
  6. I’d be fine shuttering the basketball program altogether to give Cig another $15 million or however much it’d be. Firing Devries won’t do any good because the next guy won’t be any better. We’ll see what Devries cooks up in this portal. This past season was pretty predictable once we saw last year’s roster come together. We should have a good sense of what next season/his tenure outlook looks next in the next month.
  7. IU Crean in the portal era certainly would’ve been interesting to see.
  8. There’s a huge gap between winning a NC and losing twice in two weeks to a 15-18 Northwestern team to blow a tournament appearance. IU just can’t seem to find someone within that gap. Devries screwed up last offseason, which in turn made this past season a complete waste. Now we’re likely bringing only one player back and Devries has lost the “new coach momentum” an IU coach gets before they inevitably fizzle out.
  9. You can suck worse than any other school in the country for 125 years and then win a title two years later if you hire the right coach. IU has had a rough 21st century but that’s increasingly irrelevant in the NIL/portal era. Devries just has no motion so it’s back to the same excuses we saw for the past two coaches.
  10. Calipari went to 7 elite eights in 15 seasons at UK while we haven’t been there in almost a quarter century. There’s nothing stopping IU from buying a “dream team.” IU just won’t do it, and that’s why we’ll most likely be right back in this position next year wondering why we missed the tournament and why all our players are leaving.
  11. All the excuses in the world go out the window for Devries when the guy next door takes over the worst P4 football program in the country and wins a national championship two years later. Winners win, particularly in the NIL/portal era. I don’t expect a NC out of Devries, but there’s no reason he can’t build a team that’s solidly in the tournament next year.
  12. Nothing we’ve seen from Devries suggests he’s a good enough coach to win with middling talent. We tried the mid major scrappy underdogs approach last year. It was a disaster. It will be very disappointing if we do the same or similar this year.
  13. IU could lose every game in every other sport and Dolson’s job would be as safe as could be as long as Coach Cig keeps winning. In the big 2026, there’s football and then there’s everything else.
  14. IU used to be a basketball school. Now we’re firmly a football school. The number of fans who would trade a football NC for a basketball one is very very low, imo. College football is so much more significant of a sport, and we’re sitting at the very top of it.
