Hey, we're just a bunch of irrational fans who don't know anything about coaching.

Did you happen to see his interview at half-time? Honestly, I thought it was kind of embarrassing. The guys in the studio were basically laughing at the way he was speaking. Someone else on here described him as manic, and I think its fitting.

A question that really has no significance, but I missed it if they gave a reason: Why did Xavier wear their road uniforms for the game?

I watched the very entertaining Washington/Oregon game and fondly remembered what it was like when we had a coach or two that actually developed a game plan that put players in the best position to win. We don't to have that anymore. How again did NIL take that away?

I'm not a huge NBA fan, but I still get upset when I remember the Pacers passed him over for T.J. Leaf. Besides being a way better player, he's just an awesome human being.

Same here - I was telling my wife about how made-up the women on the Tennessee team were. Her response: To play basketball?? It looked so strange to me. Why have something to distract from the task at hand. No way those can help your court vision.

The SINO's. (Second In Name Only). Best I can come up with on a brain-dead Friday.

How do people make decisions like this? Who, in their right mind, could look at these and say, "Yes, that's the one!" Inspired by their arena? WTAF??? They look like they were inspired by the street in front of the arena.

Firing the OC really made a big difference, huh? I see Frank is taking full responsibility. I guess he decided there's no one left to scapegoat at this point. I'm really tired of him saying I need to do better or we need to do better. No kidding, Mr. Obvious. Now do it!

Seems like they are only effective when a school is willing to needlessly punish themselves. Or, when bumper stickers are involved. That **** can't go unpunished!

Last week Woody said it was nothing major - just precautionary. But, who knows.

This brings back bad memories. Didn't Crean want to list everyone as players instead of by their position?

We thought it was talent and depth, but it seems it was really just a good offensive scheme and offensive mind. Once that left, we were back to the same old team, and now that offense is doing well at Washington.

So he's saying there's a chance... LEO!

I watched this a couple weeks ago - I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I almost didn't watch it because I was afraid Lebron was going to hog most of the screen time, but he didn't. Very good insight on the behind the scenes personalities that went into that team.

So you've got ISU and Akron (neither of which are givens). Who do you see as the 3rd win?

...and we never even get to start the season off over .500.

At least he didn't say INDINA.

I personally don't espouse to the all-or-nothing attitude. That's like saying someone who breaks a speeding law is capable of murder. I'm not sure what you can do to stop the gray area stuff in college. I had very little info about what was happening around the program, but knew some things definitely didn't pass the eyeball test. I'm also sure that RMK knew it was happening, but as long as it wasn't going through the program, he knew he couldn't stop it (or maybe really didn't care to). I never heard of him giving those boosters any special privileges like other programs do, but like I said, I really had no inside info.

Yeah, I don't think I have nearly the problem with the texts, especially since that rule was rescinded a couple years later. My problem was more with the culture he brought in with him. There's no denying he's a really good coach, but I think most IU fans want more than that. Maybe that limits us unless we get a brilliant coach, but there's a difference between earning and buying a championship in my eyes.

We tend to have a problem overpaying/overextending guys named Tom.

So they both leave at the same time...

I'll take Calbert Cheaney. I know it wasn't a choice, but if we are playing make-believe, let's do it. Of the choices, I say Vonleh as well. He can play inside and out and pull defenders away from the basket.
