You lucked out. We are playing well (only down 37-23 at home) relative to some other games.

Announcer… ”that ends an 11-0 run”. Hope to not hear those words a million times once again next year.

We are only down 16-5 at home. Maybe we shouldn’t have forced out Woody.

Dusty is in a good position. At the very least he will remain at UM and get a multi-million dollar bump. EDIT: RE “dollar bump”. My sincere apologies for using a word that rhymes with hump.

Have you heard anything new about the Brad Steven’s train being ramped up again?

Lots of Buzz Williams chatter. One a positive note, if we hire Buzz, at least I won’t have to worry about having heart issues due to being overly excited.

While rumors will certainly float around about the coaching search there is ZERO chance Dolson officially lists who he went after and who turned him down. It would be nutty/stupid for him to do that. Can you imagine getting hired only to have your boss put out a list that said “We went after Bill,, Bob, Mary, Joe, Frank and Katie but, after being turned down, we had to settle on SlammySammy. Not going to happen.

You aren’t necessarily heading into “retirement”. If Dolson makes the wrong hire there will be an opportunity for a new thread with a record number of posts…..

I’m one dumb mother…… IU 77 UM 71

If only it was just 9 years of bad basketball. We have been to ONE, yes ONE, did I mention ONE, I REPEAT, ONE Elite 8 in 30 friggin years. ONE Elite 8 in 30 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, Since Dusty will be “in the Hall” tomorrow I’m very surprised we haven’t heard anything. The administration must know that’s it’s going to be fugly in the Hall Saturday without an announcement stating Woody is gone (either immediately or at the end of the season). For the good of the program pull the friggin trigger!!!

He last coached in college during the 2012-2013 season.

Approximately 11 hours ago I read some posts and assumed Woody was going to be forced out. Just got home, spent time reading 800+ more posts but yet have the exact same opinion. LOL Didn’t learn much of anything, except for seeing Few’s name mentioned (on a side note I’m older than Few but he is 62….At the risk of being agist I’d prefer a guy that kills it for the next 15 years) but, in spite of that, I’ll read the next 800 posts.

Team stinks, we have 1 recruit, are going to miss the tourney for a second year in a row, with a 5 million payroll, and Rabby’s inside info is that a change may be made? Thats really insightful on his part….LOL

Could you back-channel to Steven’s and let him know I will personally bump up our NIL from 5,000,000 to 5,000,050? Could be the difference maker. Your welcome.

Out of curiosity………Is there a limit as to how many times I can refresh a thread? If there is a limit I hope it’s in the 1,000,000 range. Going to be a long day.

I’ll bet the Sisley household is excited today. I wonder what Mullins will be thinking if (BIG IF) Steven’s ends up in Bloomington.

Thanks for saving me from wasting my time. However I would recommend, as I posted on a football thread, their interview with Kamara who is an interesting, smart guy. His takes on Cig, college football today etc are worthwhile.

Very wired-in sources have told me that Marty Simmons is driving to Bloomington at this very moment.

In Woodys head the fans will only be chanting “we want Dusty” because Woody already announced his retirement so IU needs a new coach. I’m very happy, but not surprised, that they are making the move today as I didn’t think Dolson/Pam/donors/BOT would want the Michigan game optics of “Fire Woodson” chants in combination with Dusty being in the building. The timing of the UM game was perfect for “encouraging” the powers to act.

I’ll bet Woody also won’t get boo’d, and the “Fire Woodson” chants will disappear, if everyone knows he is retiring at the end of the season.

I understand that the HH guys have “quirks”, which sour people, but they do produce some interesting interviews. In addition to Mendoza I recommend their interview with Kamara. He is a very engaging, smart guy. It’s interesting to hear some of his comments about Cig. He is obviously a fan but mentions that Cigs “public persona” at IU is totally different than what Kamara encountered at JMU. The beauty of the podcast is that you can fast forward through the HH banter and just listen to the interview. To the HH’s credit they do ask good questions.

To be fair, according to 247, we did beat out Averett University and Hampden-Sydney. Raise your hand if you have heard of either school. EDIT: I looked it up and both schools are in Virginia and have undergrad enrollments under 1,000. The cherry on top for Hampden-Sydney is that it is an all-male school while Averett’s graduation rate is 42%…LOL I realize a number of similar schools have closed but am still amazed that schools like these two still survive.

I’m guessing Dolson has known Woody needs to go for quite a while. Perhaps your emails should go to Pam and the BOT.

And our next 4 games are Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA and PU. If we play well we will win 1/4 which will put us at 6-10 in the conference. Bye Bye Woody.
