Love to see Kopp doing relatively well. He was underrated on our team. I had great seats for the nw game when we only had 6 players. Kopp was quarterbacking the defense and was intense trying to rally the team when they were tired.

Seriously, he was in the same class as Romeo who will be in his 6th year in the league this year.

Omg it's so so so good.

Pretty sure the sun is going to come up tomorrow no matter what these guys do. In the grand scheme of things, none of it matters. I'm glad they pursued something that gave them joy in life.

I really don’t understand why people hate on the HH guys as much as they do. They truly pursued a passion, and I respect them for it. And their podcast was entertaining. I get that they did and said some questionable things, but damn it seems like some people just live to bring other people down.

The question is, would he make the list if it were expanded to the top 75? I don’t think so.

My view is that IU’s road to winning a ship would get easier.

Seems pretty minor, but at the same time how stupid can you be? I only occasionally bet on sports because in the long run you're likely going to lose money. I certainly wouldn't bet on them if my livelihood depended on me not doing so.

Thanks! It really is a huge advtantage to win your first two games. The team in the loser's bracket has to play an extra game just to get to you then has be beat you twice.

Does double elimination go away if you reach the championship? i.e., is it winner take all regardless of whether the two teams have a loss or not?

The one thing you can't do right now is walk these guys, make them put it in play.

As opposed to all the other threads that are solving world problems?

I think you meant bullish!

I think most people understand how powerful that is and are excited by the prospect of what a good/great coach could do with that pot of money. I know the Archie comparisons are driven by what has been discussed in the thread, but ultimately they aren't that relevant. Purely as a coach, I would say Woodson is squarely below average for the Power 5 level. Woody obviously will get a chance to prove what he can do this year with this squad. I'm not optimistic we will meet expectations (top 15-20 team, commensurate with where most early preseason rankings have us), but we'll see.

I also feel like he better be worth it, or I'm guessing his teammates aren't going to be too happy they're making a fraction of what he is. I can't imagine UW's NIL is $5M+.
