This sounds like a threat these days.

Honestly even as the #1 tank commander, a loss like today is just sad. Sad that a 30 point loss to a mediocre Louisville team doesn’t even phase me because I’ve become so accustomed to it. Sad that Mike Woodson being awful was so obvious, both at the time of his hiring and then this past offseason too, yet the administration saddled us with him. IU basketball is in a sad, sad place. On the bright side, Coach Cig showed that the right guy can immediately turn around even the saddest of programs.

This loss was so embarrassing that the usual suspects aren’t even in here trying to justify it.

There’s no loss too big that a nice bottle of red and a couple Cubans can’t fix.

You could probably take Coach Cig and 10 of his players and keep it closer than this.

“We’ve got a lot of new players, we’re still getting to know each other.”

Archie Miller was given 4 years so apparently every coach for the rest of IU’s history is also entitled to at least four years.

It really is crazy that Louisville fired its crappy coach, hired a guy none of us would’ve been happy with, and is now beating our “$6 million team” by literally 32 points.

Tbh this isn’t a nightmare situation at all if you want this to be the last Mike Woodson season. The nightmare situation would be similar to TJD’s senior year where he wins too much to fire him but not enough to really make anyone happen. Embarrassments like this make it clear he needs fired.

At least Trey and Leal aren’t sitting next to each other in the locker room anymore. This 25 point deficit could be 40 points if they were.

It’s hard to even get mad anymore. Woodson was a joke of a hire, and keeping him for a fourth season prolonged the joke. Scott Dolson has to know Woodson isn’t the answer. It’s just a matter of whether Scott will do the right thing and fire him. He didn’t last offseason. Maybe this offseason will be different. If it’s not? Then no reason for us to care more than Scott/Woodson do.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. Mike Woodson is who he has been his entire coaching career - incredibly mediocre. Some people are ok with it, for reasons only they can understand, while the rest of us can’t wait for him to be gone. You can give him the best talent money can buy, but his lack of coaching acumen will put a hard cap on the team’s potential.

We have a better SOS than Miami, SMU, and ND, and our loss was to, by far, the best team of the four. They beat the hell out of the SOS argument this past week and have now just completely thrown it out the window. So frustrating.

SMU beat 3-9 Nevada by 5 points. Lost to BYU by 3. Beat Louisville by 7, Duke by 1 in overtime, and Boston College by 10. They simply don’t want to put IU in the playoff. It’s as simple as that. No one objective looks at us and SMU and puts SMU ahead of us. They should just go back to the BCS computers. The playoff committee is biased as hell.

SMU being ahead of us is such a freaking joke. The ACC is a trash conference.

Crazy that the author of this is an IU alum. Some people will do anything for a check. https://twitter.com/babaresq/status/1860680225098490185?s=46&t=LoczziaTWuqlhvyvHGT92A

I feel like I’m going to be disappointed next season if we’re not back in the playoff hunt. I’ve gotten a small taste of CFB success and I don’t want it to go away.

Disappointing that the buyout is so low, but if we’re giving Coach Cig everything he wants (and it sounds like we are), it seems unlikely he’ll want to go elsewhere.

The SEC is overrated. They have quite a few good teams but no one elite this season. Not like in years past.

Alabama’s gotta be a lock for the playoff now with this third #qualityloss.

Can we fire Mike Woodson for today’s game too?

Very disappointing loss but there is still a clear path to the playoff.

Anyone else tryna storm the field after today’s win with me? (jk @theauthorities)

Hey his preseason combines have been a smashing success! Lol. The NBA connections were always overhyped. Sure they’re nice to have, but what elite coach doesn’t have “NBA connections” of their own? Woody’s obviously don’t matter enough to recruits to make up for his putrid coaching.

We’ve had 3+ years of Mike Woodson. We know what we’re getting. Even if the players are as good as advertised the team’s ceiling is capped because of the man driving the bus.
