No Bardo….always a blessing!!

I heard the tables in the Italian restaurants in Bloomington didn’t meet her standards! Total deal breaker.

Howdy!

Hmmm…wonder what’s changed in the past 3 years that might have made things different/leveled the playing field? (Hint…it’s an acronym that rhymes with pill and used to be illegal… and we’re not talking about weed for the tokers out there!!)

Everyone just needs to chill!!

Big Red management is not happy with this logic!

Never thought I’d get here, but I’m on the Beard train. Only way for it to happen is for Whitten to get out in front and be the one to sell it publicly. Will be plenty of naysayers…until he starts winning. Big Red can sponsor the post-game show.

No Bardo…always a gift!

To think we just could’ve bought the greatest hits album, instead of trying to lay down some fresh tracks!!

Absolutely not! Clark Kellogg has it trade marked.

One game closer to the inevitable! every cloud has a silver lining

He’s mentoring Armond Hill to be an AD!

No Bardo. Always a blessing!

Sadly, this seems to be a key part of the AD administration’s playbook! Strategically dump on fans in season who get extremely frustrated at poor coaching, effort and results as a root cause of the issues…then gaslight with burners turned high during the off season in order to set up false expectations for the coming year in order to cover for their internal administrative ineptitude. Rinse, repeat…the cycle continues.

He twisted an ankle working out in the portal!

@AH1971 @Ngw7183 @KathywithaC& a few others I’m probably missing. FYI peeps…this is how you eat true crow to get back into the party!! Couple of you have sniffed it and moved it around the plate…but, it’s still sitting there staring you in the eye. Take a bite, choke it down! Welcome back TF! First one’s on the house.

Imagine Dolson having private meetings with everyone on staff… ”So Kenya, here’s where we’re going and we we need you to step up and take over for us for the short term. Will be a great resume builder, and we’ll kick in an extra $100k for your efforts.” “Thanks, Scott, I’m truly honored…but, going to have to pass this time. My knee has been a little sore lately, and I really need to give it the attention it deserves. Have you tried Ya yet?” … Dolson, 4-5 meetings later to his admin…”Get me Adam Howard in here STAT!”

That’s how it worked for Huggy. When he tried to go dry, team performance would start to die.

They’re both 5th years, and highly paid ones at that. Older than many in the NBA & NFL. Buy the ticket, take the ride! If don’t like, they can just ‘chill’ like the rest of the team.

On Mack, if there was ever a ‘wish I could do that one over’ moment, it’s got to be when he tried to entrap Dino Gaudio while privately recording his ask to stay on or get paid, which immediately reversed on Mack and became the catalyst for his firing w/out a buyout! Bet he wishes he just Armond Hill’ed Gaudio and given him $200k to just sit on the bench and cheer. (I know, that’s more than Armond does most games, but same idea). He brought the AD the recording, and the AD got a huge smile and said ‘thank you so much…you don’t know how valuable this is!’ They certainly DGAF about ‘optics’. On your past…you’ve got to own it bruh! Giving Woody a FOURTH year was a really poor decision on many fronts. Optics be damned…no one cares or talks about ‘optics’ when you’re winning and making a big run in the tournament. Woody hadn’t shown much coaching chops, was carried by Trayce for two years…and had a lot of other red flag that had surfaced at the end of last season. A coach who believes in himself will step right up and accept the $10M+ to take a chance at greatness. One who’s worried about optics, shouldn’t be your guy to start with. In fact, focusing on optics and not on creating a winning culture has been at the root of the great deal of administrative malfeasance we’ve had to suffer the past 20 or so years!

So I guess Baylor was just a couple of spoonfuls short of the religious fervor during the basketball team murder scandal in the early 2000’s. Good thing Drew brought the XL ladle to force the kool aid down everyone’s gullet! ! Plus he tried to blackmail a player by threatening to report their immigration status to stop them from committing to IU during the Crean era. I’m sure it was so he could “save” them. No thanks!

Wrong! Do better. It’s tone was completely visceral, not emotional. Please get it straight before Aunty w/a K comes to correct you.

Understood. Point was that there’s much more to recruiting, than just raw NIL…at least most of the time!

Oh, really?? Fland McNeely Queen Newell Mullins +others

The lug nuts are getting real loose on all four tires!!! No Bardo…only positive.
