I think what annoys fans is seeing guys that we had an opportunity to hire go to other programs and do a pretty quick turn around while we sit on our @$$ and keep getting the same results. Woodson should have been fired a year before he was. Miller should have been let go after year two. I don't think this hire is going to matter much until/unless he gets it going. The whole program is stale right now. It feels like it is stuck in molasses. In my 47 years I have never seen Assembly Hall as dead as it has been this year. That includes seasons where the program imploded and we won 8 games. To start out a tenure like that is troubling. This program is back to square one in all reality. Everything that used to make it special has finally disappeared. The fan support was the last bit of life support it had, that appears to be gone at the moment. It will have to be earmed back as if this was just any other Big Ten program. The way the school destroyed its top product over 25 years could be a study in mismanagement.

Wheels have fallen off.

Worst thing is that after Monday we won't have football to help salve this crap.

Lol, it has been 24 years of mostly this. Half my life.

Our competition improved. Better athletes that can run us off what we want to do.

Woodson was the final nail in the coffin.

Both of these teams are pretty awful. We're a pretty good mid major team. We have to hit 3's or we have a problem. If we are hitting that shot, we are a problem. If we aren't, we have a problem.

Thank God for football, eh? Lol.

Live by the three, die by the three. They need to run some offense. You can get that 3 shot any time in the clock.

Students are on break.

This team is a breath of fresh air after Archie and Woody ball.

Cool, he doesn't agree with me. Sounds like we are likely to land at least one of the Top 40 kids he was looking at if internet chatter is accurate. The ball hasn't really even bounced on the season yet and our team is 100% different than it was last year. Teams are bringing in G League guys. Recruiting misses just don't hit like they used to. YMMV I guess.

I think unless it is a kid from Indiana, I don't know how much value you get out of kids outside the Top 40 anymore. They don't want to wait to develop, you might as well go portal at that point.

Indiana has to compete with more options than Iowa. Quite a bit of our alumni base is in Indianapolis and Chicago. You have a football program that got good and is cashing in, which means it is more expensive to support them. The Colts just got better. The Pacers went to the finals last year. You got Caitlin mania that is in Indy now. You still have the basketball program. Chicago has a bunch of professional teams as well. It is a much more competitive sports environment in Indiana and in the cities where we drop quite a bit of our alumni base.

Yeah that seems awfully suspect.

That is a stupid rule.

Secondary has just been f-ing awful. Cannot get off the damn field.

Love to see a 3 and out here and then step on their neck and break their will.

Did exactly what we needed to do around the half.

Massive hold. Dear lord.

Yes, punch it here and another to start the second and get some distance.

Their line is getting away with alot of holding.

They can't stop our offense, hopefully the D had some time to regroup on the sideline and we can get them off the field and put up some more points before half.
