Didn't know that about the liver... both are good analogies for what we're dealing with.

Sisyphus is nore accurate, IMO. Every time we hire a coach, we start up the hill. About 10-15 games in, the rock starts to slide, and before we know it, we're back at the bottom of the hill. With Prometheus, once the liver was gone, it was game over.

I am stupefied! I tell you, I am aghast, bewildered, confounded and dismayed.

Sisyphus, is that you?

Duh. We've been saying that for months. Way to catch up, Mel.

Ah, yes, the calendar posters. My aunt worked for an insurance company and they would get the posters a few days early. Dad would pick them up and mail them to me. It was a glorious day the day the poster arrived.

Yeah, the thing that I remember most was the absolute dearth of recruiting info. I graduated in '77 and moved to Arizona in December of that year. I remember my dad sending me care packages of clippings from the Star about Knight, the basketball program, etc. Then around '82 we got cable and could watch the games on WGN and similar. Before the glut of basketball on cable, I remember being able to pick from 2 or 3 stations to watch the IU game. After following the '76 team in person, on campus, imagine being exiled to Arizona for the '81 and '87 championship runs.

Wonder what Brunner's payday looks like? I'm not overly concerned, as Cig has proven to the donor$ that he knows what he's doing.

As a Hoosier basketball fan, I feel for you both.

I remember more than one instance of RMK sitting the underperforming "stars" in favor of the bench guys to get the attention of the so called "stars" and to make a point. Isn't playing some of these guys the very essence of "next man up"?

It is kind of bizarre. I mean, did Lanning really not know that Moore was returning when he went after Riola in the portal? Or did Moore change his mind? Can't wrap my head around this play, either way.

So, who is "king"? SEC or ACC? Idiots. The answer is B1G.

Probably a reason that he's no longer with the SEC/ESPN brain "trust".

How bad to you have to be to get "trucked in practice every day" by Reid Bailey? THAT speaks volumes about where we are.

For me, the largest part is the fatigue that all of this has brought on. Like the Cubs fans, I start each season believing that we're about to make a statement with the upcoming season. But as time passes, the ability to stomach some of the really bad play, head-scratching decisions, etc, grows less and less. It started with Crean, who got 8 years. To be honest, I was over him around year 6 or 7. Then came Archie. He got 4 years, but it was clear after a couple that he was not the answer. I was never really into Woodson, but despite efforts to prop him up with donors' NIL money, I hoped. After watching Woodson coach, it was clear that he had no clue. This season, we turn the page to DeVries. I was on board with the hire, and really thought that he could buy/build a team. I guess 16 games into the season is still a bit early to call it, and I'm willing to give him another season or two. But I am absolutely not impressed so far. I get that his roster was primarily built to match his coaching style, but it just doesn't work in the B1G with the monster front court players in the league. And if the threes aren't falling, it's game over, as we have no option to play differently. So here we are. Wishing and hoping that we can be competitive, but at this point it's a pipe dream. And at 72, I've better ways to spend my remaining time on this big, blue marble. I will probably still watch if I remember that there's a game, but I am nowhere nearly as invested in Indiana basketball as I used to be. It hurts. But it hurts less if I don't watch.

Yeah, I warned my wife that I’d be buying one of those… maybe from the natty game, the the Rose Bowl panorama is sweet.

I gotta admit, I'm pretty close. The apathy thing is real. Thankfully we have the glorious diversion that is Indiana Football, but every time I watch an IU basketball game, I feel like Charlie Brown approaching the football that Lucy is holding. And like Charlie Brown, every time I get to the ball, Lucy has pulled it away. Life is too short to watch bad basketball.

IU Athletics invites IU students, alumni, and Hoosier fans to gather at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Monday, January 19, for IU’s official watch party as Coach Curt Cignetti’s IU Football team battles the Miami (Fla.)
