Yeah, anybody can look at how DeVries handled this last year and see how nutso it is that people think we should have a full staff and half a roster announced. His staff wasn’t complete for 3 months. The bulk of his roster signings came in mid to late April, with the star of the class signing May 1, and another in June. Christ, some of you are gonna need daily wellness visits by then.

It’s DeVries and Enright

You said, repeatedly, extremely repeatedly, that Indiana wouldn’t get a head coach from a power 5 conference. You weren’t right.

No, we have a fanbase that did nothing but ***** about dropping bags for kids who didn't want to be here. Now, we've had a coach for less than 2 weeks, one guy he probably thought wasn't good enough to overpay for goes somewhere else, and people lose their f'ing minds and want to drop bags again. I'm guessing Woodson and his family are realizing how fortunate they are to be rid of this nonsense.

Actually, we were 19th in defensive efficiency that year. Probably the only really good defensive team Crean had here.

That makes me more positive it’s Indiana

Yes, they’re just not announcing them until the whole staff is done coaching their current teams and gets here.

As to the strength of schedule, Kentucky is an SEC team, so they’re just a notch below the NFL. That should be great for our SOS. (joking, of course)

So, after all the whining they did about tampering, they went and talked to a coach with a team still playing?

Gotcha. Thanks.

It’s literally revenue sharing. Why wouldn’t you just calculate the percentage of revenue each sport brings in and divide the revenue-sharing pot accordingly? Am I missing something?

Jimmy Dykes in the first quarter of the LSU-Florida State game: "Kim Mulkey is about to come out of her sequins over that call."

There’s a really easy solution for people who want to root for a guy like Beard. You’re never going to be able to do it as a fan of Indiana University.

There was a lot of smoke back then that Eric Gordon’s dad wanted Sampson to recruit him when Sampson got the job. Probably a more appropriate way to do it would have been to tell Eric to de-commit first. But it’s all water under the bridge now.

Do you have any opinion or intel on why Dusty didn’t want the job this time?

Not to turn this into an Archie thread, but I followed that program pretty closely back then, and the truth about it is really somewhere in between really good and stagnant. He struggled his first 2 1/2 years, low conference finish his second year and started the third year 1-5 in the league and the natives were getting restless. Then, mid-season, they miraculously turned it around and had the miracle Elite 8 run. After that Archie was certainly very good in conference. It should be noted that was right after Xavier and Butler left for the Big East, but he was still very good in league. Never was able to have another tournament run, though.

I think we should be a modern program and put names on the jerseys all the time. And I’m an old guy.

A couple questions for you about Dusty, if you don’t mind. Do you think Dusty signed the extension because we/he thought we had Brad? Do you think there’s any way we could have gotten Dusty?

Is he one of the coaches Dolson reportedly talked to a few weeks ago?

I have it all figured out. Dolson said he was going to follow the Cignetti model for hiring the basketball coach. The model was someone born in Pennsylvania in 1961. Jay Wright.

You’d think he’d realize he doesn’t know anything by now, lol

Just a heads up, it gets embarrassing when you’ve been in there so long the motion sensor lights go off…..and then someone else walks in.

Have you ever thought about why you’re so jealous of someone else getting attention? I suspect with some of you guys, that’s why you’re really here attacking them. If you were so offended by the actual information they are sharing, you wouldn’t keep coming back here reading it.

Some people are miserable. A message board is their avenue to take others down with them.

If some of these people get (or have) jobs, I sure as hell wanna know where, lol
