Much the same way that RMK was just offering a little old lady a chair back in 1985.

The whole reason that some people want an “IU guy”, is because they think that coach will work their @$$ off for IU. It is already baked into the cake. We obviously misjudged that when we hired Woody. Shame on him for not caring enough about IU basketball to work hard, and shame on him for not stepping aside when it is obvious that this program is heading toward disaster.

It isn’t an age thing, it is giving a ****. For all that is made of the fact that we can’t fire Woody after 3 years because he is an IU guy, how unforgivable is it that he does not want to do the things that are necessary to succeed? This job should matter more to him, because he is an IU guy. That is such a slap in the face to all of us ToXiC fans. Say what you will about Dusty May, I guarantee that guy would put every ounce of his being into making Indiana basketball successful again.

Do they wear aviators and eat a lot of ice cream in Iceland?

I almost went with Quixotic, but found Sisyphean to be more appropriate.

Malarky? Damn, we knew you were old but we hadn’t done the math to realize you are presidential candidate old.

Don’t **** with me. I am on the edge. Do you know a guy? Can we do that? Stop trying to make sense.

When I think about the amount of money that is about to be spent to hire a GM, and prop up the NIL only to prove that this Sisyphean effort is all in vain, astounds me.

Stupid is this administration’s currency.

According to KathywithaQ, Dolson has free rein to hire whoever he wants. He won’t be able to pay them without BoT approval, but that is just a small detail that she will gloss over.

Seriously? It took him 3 ******* years to realize that you have to do hard work to earn $4M+ a year? Scratch that. He thought it was easy at $3M+ and asked for a raise, but didn’t want to work hard? I wish I could be ******* terrible at my job for 3 years pull in over $10M and then realize that I should actually do my job. This is entitled nepo-baby BS.

The fatal flaw with this plan is that they are going to be coached by a man who is the laughing stock of the Big Ten coaches.

If by “this”, you mean any words ever spoken, you are correct. You do understand the difference between the words pity and pithy, don’t you?

In the future, you don’t need to preface your posts with “this is going to be long”. We get it. We see your name at the top of the post and know that we are in for The Infinite Jest.

You meant ANY recruit, right?

Well, we have reached the mark of the beast. 666 pages down, 2,000 left to go.

…unless they feel disrespected that they didn’t get the heart transplant earlier and now the warden is whining that the previous inmate got 4 years on death row, so this one also gets 4 years. Maybe longer. Maybe the governor pardons him. Maybe the governor pardons him and gives the warden a lifetime appointment to the IU BoT.

What recruiting? If Woodson hadn’t made it abundantly clear he is not interested in recruiting I would say that announcing his future retirement would be a bad idea, but we are already at the 7th level of hell when it comes to recruiting. Tell the portal mercenaries that we are paying them more money than anyone else to come and join this clown orgy and the future is uncertain. If they don’t like it they can play for someone else. If you want to be a soldier of fortune, you should understand that you may not survive the next mission.

I don’t know about you guys but my future contributions are going to troll farms to shitpost about the top 25 teams, as a fan of those teams. Apparently, that will somehow level the playing field and make everyone else as ToXiC as we are.

I have had this issue after logging off on my phone and logging back in. Maybe you are experiencing the same issue.

It seems like in a system like this, stakeholders (other than the AD) get to socialize every bad decision (AD’s fault) and capitalize on all of the good decisions (we did that). What is incentivizing an AD to not make their own decisions (since they will be blamed anyways) other than pressure from the BoT? This question is premised upon your claim that the AD has sole decision making authority when it comes to hiring coaches, but I would also like for you to address the fact that the BoT has to sign off on actually paying the coach, which effectively limits the AD’s decision making authority.

That is Woodson heading to his next tee time. He has been exhausted from all of his... something. Mike Woodson needs a little Mike Woodson time.

You're killing me Smalls. I made a conscience effort to stay away from this board after all of the shenanigans. And now I have to decide whether to post a Sandlot, Soprano's, or Super Troopers gif (we all know @Home Jersey is pulling for the Soprano's "Just when I thought I was out" gif). You are the devil.

Pictures of Dolson with a dead hooker or an alive man in his bed.

You are under the impression that there are going to be people at the games to boo.
