AH may never post about IU basketball again lol.

Mike Woodson has lost four straight games to Nebraska lmao.

We all knew this would happen. You can give the King the best team money can buy and he’ll still find a way to lose to Nebraska by double digits. Dude’s a bum.

This makes no sense. IU played 9 P4 opponents. How many SEC teams played more than 9 P4 opponents? IU very obviously was not thinking “we’re playoff contenders, let’s build our SOS” when they selected these games 5 years ago. They were thinking “we’re playing OSU, Michigan, PSU, and MSU every single year. What’s our path to 6 wins?” The moaning about out of conference games is silly. Few teams traditionally play marquee OOC games.

Only thing better than the first 11 win season in school history is the second. LFG.

Donors should allocate 100% of their NIL donations to iu football. Woodson doesn’t deserve a penny. Lighting their cash on fire would be a better use than giving it to Woodson. We have a serious person leading IUFB. Time to load up the donations.

What actions do you know of that suggest that QB and Mike Woodson “care deeply” about the success of IU basketball?

Like @ap2345 said, actions speak louder than words. QB and Woodson’s actions say it all. Someone could “care deeply” about their wife, but if they go out and regularly cheat on them they’re not a good husband.

Exactly. And when we hear about how little effort Mike Woodson puts into his head coaching job, I don’t want to hear about how deeply he “cares” about the university. If he “cared deeply” about IU then he would bust his *** every day. He does the complete opposite.

Their actions say otherwise.

QB doesn’t give two s***s about IU basketball. All he cares about is getting his buddy the head coaching job. Now that his buddy has the job, he’s holding the program hostage so that his buddy can keep the job. Hoosier my ***.

Saw the same thing on Twitter. Beck was pretty mid this year so not sure how much this really hurts them.

They should go full NFL style and make every single game except the national championship an on campus game. Can you imagine a home semifinal game? It’ll never happen for a number of reasons, but it would be awesome if it did.

The King saves the alcohol for pizza night with the fellas at the hangout spot. He’s this terrible at coaching fully sober

Ticket prices are absolutely ridiculous and SO much more than for any of the other CFB playoff games. Think I saw PSU/SMU is like $200 to get in. I’d pay $1k or a little above per ticket given how rare this is but there’s no way I’m shelling out 3x that per ticket.

When do they announce the days/times?

I don’t wait for the selection to be over so all the SEC morons shut up for the next year. “Teams won’t want to play her games if SMU gets in the playoff.” Just stop it. Alabama lost to two 6-6 teams. Played a crappy non-conference schedule. We’re not talking about a team that went out and scheduled a bunch of juggernauts. They lost easy games and should be punished for it the same way any team not named Alabama would be.

People are advocating for it on Twitter. I just don't trust the committee at all. "Alabama has a win over the SEC champ, so they have a better resume than they did last week when we ranked them behind Indiana."

So what are the odds they have Alabama jump us so they can get Alabama in without bumping SMU?

Your entire argument was based on a few games... lol.

He went 4-25 for 11 points against Louisville, Gonzaga, and Providence. No one cares if a kid can put up stats against Sam Houston. Except you, apparently.

Texas being loyal to Ewers is going to cost them a national title. He’s not that guy.

He’s 100% right. If you have the brand, no one cares about your schedule. If you don’t have the brand, they use your schedule to keep you out. If Michigan, OSU, PSU, etc. had our resume they 100% would host a home game.

SEC’s a six pack of mid this year. They have quite a few good teams but no great teams, imo. Neither of these teams makes me think wow, no way we can compete with them.

Combination of all those things, imo. We’ve gone to 1 elite eight in 30 years. Won 1 tournament game in the past eight years. We’re at a point where people in their 30s weren’t even alive to see a consistently good IU team. Hell, kids entering college now were 6 years old during the Zeller/Oladipo years. You can only lose so much for so long before people check out. On the bright side, it can be turned around instantly as shown by Coach Cig (who had a far, far bigger hill to climb than any iubb coach will have). NIL is a gift to a school like IU that has the resources but didn’t want to play by the old rules. So far we’ve squandered it, but maybe that’ll change with the next hire.
