Yep I normally wouldn’t have thought 2 seconds about Iowa-Missouri but this bowl season was bummed Iowa gave up their lead and lost.

I don’t remember ever rooting for Michigan so hard. I’m a DeBoer fan but that is overwhelmed by how sick I am of the SEC narrative. Hope they blow Bama out.

I will be shocked if he is around next year and equally shocked if we are above .500 in the BT. I’m guessing somewhere around 6-14 to 8-12.

Boom One step closer to a 2 or 3 seed !!!

We have missed 17 threes in a row. Wonder what the all-time NCAA record is?

So I’m thinking 7-13 or 8-12 in the BT.

I can actually think of a reason to wear a “Woody” hat, in the privacy of my home, but don’t feel this is the forum in which to go into the details.

Agreed. After three years playing for Underwood, and the way the Illini play hard, Goode has to be thinking WTF is going on here. He often has a “let’s get going” attitude but sadly is often the Lone Ranger when it comes to that.

In Woodys defense… People have been clamoring for us to shoot more threes, and the press has asked him about our lack of attempts from the three, but no one has been telling him we need to MAKE more threes.

So Winthrop lost at Louisville by 15 and we lost to the Ville by 28 on a neutral court? LOL

2024 Rourke was, of course, a portal guy. 2023 Mccloud was his QB and SunBelt player of the year. The previous year he was at Arizona and JMU was his third school. 2022 Centio was his QB and the SunBelt player of the year. The previous year he was at Colorado State and JMU was his third school. 2021 starter had been at JMU 4 or 5 years and then started 2019 starter was a transfer from Pitt. 2019 was Cig’s first year at JMU.

I think he needs to go, was a bad choice etc I do think, however, that Dolson’s original setup was a horrible idea. You don’t hire a head coach with the caveat that he has to accept a specific assistant coach and a special advisor not hired/chosen by the head coach. It obviously shows that Dolson knew Woodson wasn’t prepared to be a college coach but regardless of the coach that setup was a terrible, terrible idea.

Yea, A ticker-tape parade is probably in the works. LOL

Have faith. I don’t think we will make the tourney and he will be gone. He got his 4 years and, although some might not believe it, I think the administration realizes the importance of the basketball program and Buckner won’t have the juice to keep him any longer.

I’m kind of curious what you guys want to see happen when he is pushed out. ”Doesn’t deserve dignity” means what? Led down College Avenue while getting stoned? Put in a stockade and verbally abused?

Who knows but I’ll be very surprised if Cherry is here 2 years from now and, barring an injury to a portal QB, I doubt he ever starts at IU.

I think he could possibly portal a QB nearly every year. Rest of the team no, but he has used experienced transfer QB’s in the past and I think that’s his comfort level.

Yes to hard conversations. Would also expect a little bit of roster flipping after spring ball as some guys will realize they are buried on the bench and the coaches will have positions in mind that need to be upgraded. Really wish there was a talented P4 OL, or 2, we could land. Is there?

Cig seems really focused on QB’s with experience and proven production. I doubt we will rinse and repeat with young QB’s unless one of them turns out to be extraordinary.

Can’t wait as this is the game the entire sporting world is looking forward to. Lots of buzz. IU - sleepwalks to 81 points Winthrop - 69

Off to a great start! Looking forward to a couple of OL and a couple of DL commits. Trenches, trenches, threnches.

The only favored home team that didn’t blow out their opponent was Texas of the SEC. TN of SEC got blown out but, but, but….IU shouldn’t have been in. I hope ND smokes Georgia.

It’s too bad OSU plays Oregon next. Would prefer one of them to take out Texas next.

So when do the announcers start the “should Tennessee have been in the playoffs” discussion? The double standard is staggering

Not surprised, at all. Never seemed to be Cigs guy and knows Cig is looking for a producer in the portal. Also, not saying it’s right or wrong but wonder what a guy like. Cherry is thinking. Cig seems to want to have a proven producer at QB but how does an incoming freshman ever become that producer if portal QB’s are brought in each year?
