For sure. It's just that squeaking into the tournament with a high likelihood of getting blown out in the first weekend and pretty much no chance at making a run doesn't really excite me.

If ND gets the 5 seed, it'll further show that it's not so much who you lose to so much as when you lose. At least, if you are one of the big name schools. Losing at home to NIU and getting the 5 seed? Ridiculous if it happens and the chances it happens is high.

He has a personality?

On top of that, you need to be able to compete against those teams in order to make any sort of run in the tournament if you make it. Instead, the 2 times Woodson has gotten there we've been blown out early. I expect that will happen again if we make it this year although that's a big if.

Dang. It sure would have been funny to see PU lose their top choice to UCF.

The automatic byes are so dumb because of situations like this. 1 bye will go to teams that wouldn't have been in as an at large bid and the possibility is there for more than 1.

Oh, really? When I googled him I saw an article from yesterday saying he was who UCF was targeting. I guess that writer was misinformed.

UCF is going after him to. Which is a more attractive job, UCF or PU? I guess we'll find out.

I wanted them to lose, but lose close. Fail.

I think this will change. I think the current setup is only for this year and next, maybe even just this year (I don't remember which). A lot of people have seen the issues you posted here.

Sounds like Houston doesn't have much going offensively, either.

Yeah, I'm rooting for a close loss by SMU. If Penn State loses, I think ND jumps them. I would definitely like your scenarios of playing ND or PSU if it works out like you think.

I'm rooting for Georgia and PSU today since I don't want ND at #5. They don't deserve that. I think Oregon and/or Texas would be ranked ahead of them after a loss. I'm also rooting for Clemson to win so they knock Alabama out. Basically, **** both ND and Alabama.

ASU will be the B12's lone team in the CFP.

Good to hear. These are the updates we want. AD with more cachet than last year is against him, the person behind getting him hired and retained is a lame duck, and the donors are turning on him after wasting money this year. I hope Dolson makes a good hire after the season.

I went and looked and the laws state relatives. So I guess they're clear of any actual crime. By the way, it is actually called nepotism. 42 IAC 1-5-15 Nepotism Nepotism restrictions are set forth in IC 4-2-6-16. This chapter does not prohibit the continuation of a job assignment that existed on July 1, 2012. As used in this section, "employed" refers to all employment, including full-time, part-time, temporary, intermittent, or hourly. The term includes service as a state officer or special state appointee. An individual employed in an agency may not hire a relative. Except as provided in subsection (e), an individual may not be employed in the same agency in which an individual's relative is the appointing authority. An individual may be employed in the same agency in which the individual's relative is the appointing authority, if the individual has been employed in the same agency for at least twelve (12) consecutive months immediately preceding the date the individual's relative becomes the appointing authority. Except as provided in subsection (e), an individual may not be placed in a relative's direct line of supervision. An individual employed in an agency may not contract with or supervise the work of a business entity of which a relative is a partner, executive officer, or sole proprietor. Any person within an agency who knowingly participates in a violation of this chapter is subject to the penalties set forth in section 12 of this chapter. IU, however, does prohibit even the hiring of friends although that isn't a law. Using his power to force the hiring of a friend and then to retain that friend when it's obvious he isn't up to the job is nepotism and looks like a corrupt act to me. But I guess it's ok since it's former star basketball players.

So an illegal activity such as nepotism at a state university is ok as long as it's done by a former basketball star and includes hiring another former basketball star? That's what makes corruption acceptable in your books? That says a lot about you. That said, since Woodson has previous coaching experience, it's probably not enough to bring charges but it's obviously nepotism. The other moves made at the time of the hiring show that the AD who was forced to hire him had much confidence.

He's no longer with IU, but Hafnaoui is kind of a train wreck. https://swimswam.com/olympic-champion-swimmer-ahmed-hafnaoui-provisionally-suspended-for-doping-rules-violation/ Also, both IU teams easily beat Cincinnati in a dual meet today.

Dude, pointing out that Miller sucks isn't some defense of Woodson. Miller was a terrible coach. In 4 years under him, we saw a bunch of the same stuff as under Woodson, except with less talent (thus lower potential to actually be good) and 2 fewer trips to the NCAAT. Woodson is better than Miller. Extremely low bar so saying that doesn't mean that I'm saying Woodson is a good coach. He's not.

Ethan Morton and Matt Cross were also priority targets for him. He isn't a very good evaluator of talent so he'd have just wasted money on bad players.

I knew I was setting myself up with that sentence. Any interpretation is true, though. lol

Limp mode is the worst. I experienced that driving home from work a few months ago. On a freeway. Going 70+ along with all the other cars around me. I got off the freeway then drove all the way to the dealership like that. Sucked so bad. I upgraded my AAA from 5 mile tow to 100 miles because of that. Don't forget 66-0 and IU will be in the CFP.

Yeah, I believe it was posted on this site a while back. Spring or summer. It's probably in this thread somewhere. Edit: did a quick search. Here it is:

I was thinking when I saw that news that he'll get a release from CU and look at UCLA now. lol

He had some insane numbers as a sophomore. 2800+ yards passing, 32 TD to 6 Int, 61% completion rate, over 1000 yards rushing, 12 rushing TD. Came back to earth this year but still decent numbers. It would be exciting to see what Cig and company could do with him.
