Of the current players on the roster, who would you even want back? The woody effect…

It’s gonna be a long couple months. O/U 3k pages in this thread?

Am I going to hell for laughing at this?

I can’t wait til we’re like this again.

For sure! I'm sure it's a little of both. Given the rumors of the reason for his departure here, assuming those are even marginally accurate, I would look at other options too

I know, but as someone who may or may not know him personally, I think there's some truth to it.

https://x.com/thehoopherald/status/1878815720714404268?s=46 how many of our players can be described like this?

From what I understand, he’s in the insurance consulting business and has no interest in coaching at this time

Spot on.... I was watching the PSU-IU game with a buddy who's a Duke fan.... at one point he turned to me and said "holy $h*t, did I just see not one, but two IU players dive on the floor for a loose ball???" The standard is the standard.... and ours is Mickey Mouse level

Thread gonna go craaaazy tonight

But what am I supposed to do to kill time and entertain myself during the work day now?

I went to the Indy Classic (TAMU-Purdue and Butler-Wisconsin) and couldn't fathom how LOUD the Purdoo crowd was from start to finish. We used to dwarf their crowd at the Crossroads Classic. And I can't believe how far away we are from that. Obviously, the fanbase could be turned out quickly (see: Cignetti), but man. We are not close right now.

Not trying to argue, only reason I mention it is I know a UT BOT member. Anyway, point remains, the fact that our baseline is making the tourney is insane to me

Are you sure there wasn't a settlement behind the scenes?

Ok, he was never "officially" fired.... but would've been if he didn't depart... he was shown the door... trust me on this one

The idea making the tournament being the determining factor of Woody's job status shows how far we've fallen. Texas fired Shaka after earning a 3 seed in the NCAAT.

Excited to watch future Indiana HC Dusty May take on UCLA here in a few minutes

I think this is my exact list - don’t know enough about Huss - I’m admittedly higher on Shrews & Schertz than most though

There’s a lot of people who think Dusty May would definitely come here or would definitely not. Who the hell knows?

Alright…. Top 5 wishlists…. Go

Totally agree. The fan base being the main problem has always been hilarious to me…. It’s literally the only thing (outside of NIL/resources) that remains elite about the program

@Chris007 come tell us something to cheer us up :(

Man..... I'll die on this hill. It's not the What, it's the Why and the How. Of course we all want IU to return to the glory of competing for national championships, but when people say we have unrealistic expectations, I call BS. All I want is a team we can be proud of. I've been prouder to be an IU fan when we've had teams way worse than this. All we want is discipline, connected play, selflessness, hard work and 110% effort from everyone in the program from the Head Ball Coach to lottery picks to the janitor. Talent and NIL be damned.

They had me at "Ben McCollum's teams never stop moving without the basketball"
