IUrocker

Obviously fantastic news. Would be so much easier to root for a good season if we knew for a fact the guy was gone at the end of the season.

Yeah, I saw him post it on the other site, ha. I figured he’d know but was curious to see if there were others hearing it as well, whatever it may be.

I saw that Trilly has started to hear some things about IUs coaching situation. Know anything about that? I don’t ever see the Trilly stuff.

I remember literally using some of my vacation days at work to schedule around certain IU basketball games I didn’t want to miss. Now I could have absolutely nothing going on and if a game is on I’m fine with watching something else. I just can’t stand it at all. Couldn’t wait til the season started every year, but now I can’t wait til it ends so I can see if a change is made. This is even way worse than when people wanted Archie out of town.

At this point I could see Woody so damn pathetic enough to talk a player into being “injured” and keep him out of games just to be able to use that as an excuse for not winning… …..sounds ridiculous, but I’ve reached the point of not putting it past this man to do such a thing just to make himself look better.

I just wish this could be a matter of we know for a fact that Woodson will 100% be gotten rid of at the end of this season. Just makes rooting for the team a lot easier. I want the players to succeed, but I don’t want it to result in any chance he gets enough support to stay aboard. It’d be so great if something could come out mid season that he plans on “retiring” after this year so let’s root the team on and send him off on a good note. Otherwise, it’s hard for me to want to see success, because I don’t want him here anymore. Bad thing is, I don’t think he’s willing to part ways on his own so he’d probably have to be fired, which most likely isn’t going to happen until after the season….leaving us wondering if the results of the season will determine his fate. This time really does feel different though in terms of him actually being gone. There just seems to be way more out there now about the negativity he’s involved with and a ton more people finally realizing what’s going on and wanting him out. Plus the success of Cignetti ought to give Dolson the ammo he needs to make his move.

Heck yeah, going into halftime with the lead!

Yeah they’re talking about other stuff, some football stuff. I just mentioned that time frame since it had to do with Woodson and bball and when Brian Evans came on in case people just wanted to get to that part.

That HH podcast with Brian Evans was indeed a good listen. They are completely done with Woodson. In the words of the great Tom Crean, “you wrecked our program!” * Also just a heads up, anyone able to listen to the podcast, it starts with Brian Evans and talking about the program at the 30:45 mark. They go on and on for a while after that about different things that have happened behind the scenes and what is all going on that just goes to show Woody being the head of the basketball program is a freakin’ joke.

Woodson probably doesn’t like Cignetti and the success he’s having. Making him look even worse and stand out like a sore thumb. It probably makes him mad, ha. It’d be so much easier to root for success this season if we knew 100% that Woodson was gonna be done regardless of the results. If there was some type of statement made saying he’s gonna hang it up and retire or whatever at seasons end, then people could rally around them and throw away the pitch forks. Probably won’t happen unless things get really out of hand. Just a tough edge to walk on not knowing if any amount of success will keep him around any longer than this season.

Not wanting us to lose but yet wanting to see this man fail is such a tough spot to be in as a fan. I’ll still never miss watching a game when I’m able to watch, but so odd to not really care what the results are if it means a change can be made. I’ve been so obsessed with IU basketball the past 25 years, but the last couple/few just haven’t been as fun as I’d like them to be. I can see Dolson moving on after this season, but I doubt it’ll be during the season unfortunately. Hope I’m 1000%wrong on that one. Let Calbert and crew take over. I think it’d be easier to root for this season to be a success if there was type of announcement that Woodson was gonna be gone after the season.

Hopefully Cignetti’s immediate success gives Dolson the ammo he needs to end this nonsense.

Woody getting his free trip to the Bahamas, that’s what matters…

I appreciate this first draft of his statement. At least he was being honest.

I could be wrong but maybe the stretch into June has to do with getting the whole band together and making this a bang…not just Mullins.

I saw that Brendan Hausen from Villanova is expected to visit Nebraska now on Monday. Seems most of their fans hope they don’t put the full press on trying to get Essegian if they’re able to end up getting Hausen instead.

I wonder at this point if @ISP has any new info on top of good feelings he had yesterday.

Well Maryland was one of the other couple of places Connor happened to visit, so hopefully it’s just Maryland insider saying dumb stuff because they aren’t getting him and aren’t happy about it. If its true though, then kinda takes the wind out of my sail after seeing people say a deal is done with him on our side. I understand this stuff is fluid and people hear what they can, but man, I really hope we get him. My hopes are high on this one for multiple reasons.

Just realized one of my daughters brought this home from her 3rd grade class for info about a field trip a couple days ago…heck of a sign if I do say so myself. He’s even getting chaperoned around campus and getting paid money.

Hopefully it’s today. I waited too long yesterday already haha

If staff is trying to get him, would he be an “instead of” Essegian, or an “along with”?

Im hoping we get a commitment today from someone who was on campus last night. Waiting all day and night with no announcement thinking there was going to be one was a nightmare. I didn’t have enough thumbs to twiddle haha. Good to see he was hanging out with some teammates last night. Hopefully yesterday was a matter of sealing the deal, telling him to go hang out and have some fun while we work on your commitment video, and tomorrow we’ll let it be known.

I feel like this has happened before. We pretty much know we have a guy in the bag, someone hears another school is about to get involved, and then boom, they announce their commitment to us haha.

It was just someone else on the other forum saying “sounds like..”, so not sure where he’s hearing it.
