    No, we don't. Even if he was hired as a short term coach, they wouldn't say that publicly. It would hurt his ability to recruit. Your belief that he was just hired as a short term coach that was just here long enough to build up a good roster then hand it over to someone else to win with is probably just wishful thinking.

    You're right. Basketball was originally meant to be played was without any dribbling at all.

    Abuse is rarely a one time thing and with how extreme what he did was, there is little reason to think so in this case. That sports are more important that that to you tells me all I need to know. Even before the abuse came out, this fanbase had overrated him. At the P5 level he has a total of 1 season with less than 10 losses. He couldn't sustain the success he found early at his time at A&M. Luckily, I don't have to worry about this as the IU administration won't hire him.

    That's pretty much where I'm at on May. He may be the real deal but he may not, I'd just like to see another season or two. Certainly don't force Woodson out to hire May in a panic that he might be hired elsewhere. As far as Beard, if he was hired I'd stop watching IU and would actively root against them until he was fired.

    The point is that it can be done. No way on Beard. So May has had 1 good NCAA run and is so far having a good season but if he didn't have an IU connection would you and a few others still be drooling over him and panicking that another school might hire him first? See above if he is hired somewhere else first.

    Yep. Kansas hired Self away from Illinois. UNC hired Williams away from Kansas. Kentucky hired Calipari away from Memphis and before him Gillespie from Texas A&M, Tubby Smith from Georgia.
  8. JMU just scored a TD but their clock management hasn't been good. Not really surprising since most of the coaching staff, including the OC, left before this game.

    Jeremy Fears was shot in the leg. Not life threatening but had surgery. That makes me think it was bad enough that he might not play for MSU again this season.

    Another possibility since he was injured might be a medical discharge.

    There is something seriously wrong with that formula if a win can drop you 20 spots 1/3 of the way through the season.

    Sucks for them that Mack is out indefinitely with mono. Too bad for IU, too, since they might lose some games without him that they'd otherwise win.
  13. Well, it is IU football. We should probably get that thread started. lol
  14. True, but I think his would get old quicker than most. For me, at least.
  15. I don't have a problem with it and he actually has me a bit excited about IU football, which is a rare thing. It's great now to hear him talk like that and I won't mind it if he wins. If he doesn't win here, it will quickly become old.

    It also looked better in the preseason than it does at this point. IU can't help that some of the teams aren't as good as expected.

    Why is his finger under his nose? Does that place smell bad?
  18. He (Dexter) is not, he went into the portal. I haven't seen a destination. Likely starting QB would be Rourke, the Ohio transfer.

    I'm just wondering what (if any) Woodson's exit strategy is. Is he thinking of getting it decent shape over the next year or two then retiring, is he thinking he'll be coaching for another 10 years, or is he not planning anything and thinks he'll coach until he's tired of it and/or gets fired? Ideally, it would be getting the program into good shape then stepping down but I don't know if ego would allow that.

    As a team, it seems to be the latter. It shouldn't be that way but they aren't playing well as a team. Right now the team is less than the sum of its parts, which is frustrating.

    You know, I've never seen the committee leave someone out because they didn't beat teams by enough points. If you think about it, the reason should be obvious: if the team isn't very good they'll end up losing enough games and/or having bad losses that they will be eliminated based on those factors and not the point differential. If they are a good team that is just struggling at that point in the season, they'll have enough wins to get into the tournament. W/L record >>> point differential

    Was that the 50 point loss?

    At least there are reasons to be excited about the football team, so that's new. Is it almost spring practice yet?
