    NC State better give Wade a fucxxxx strong-a$$ offer.

    Perfect timing for Archie Miller to back to his alma mater

    I hear ya. For this time only, IU should get down from the high horse and hire Beard. It's kind of funny to think that IU and its fanbase tolerated RMK for decades and even idolized him despite all his shortcomings as a human being.

    Is Woodson still here? IU just can't get rid of this joker soon enough.

    Did you sleep in a holiday inn last night? I think you're feeling so good and optimistic.

    On the other hand, has Rick Pitino been trying extra hard to be in contention?

    Are there any more compliance issue we need to worry about these days? High major D1 colleges now pay more than G league. But I don't mean I want Self at IU. In NIL era, IU is a MAJOR player, which has made the IU gig whole lot more attractive.

    If we hired Pitino instead of Woody 4 years ago, he would've hung the 6 banner already.

    IMO, if IU basketball becomes really good again, we will be hated anyway. We don't need to be a villan. Duke is not hated because they took the villan role. Lots of people hate Dukies because they've been so good for so long.

    Unfortunately, that's true. Our fanbase is acting like being on a high horse looking down all the other alleged dirty programs, but hey this fanbase tolerated RMK for 3 decades simply because he was a big time winner. Lot of our fans even idolized his real bad behaviors.

    All right brother, I'll hold you to that! If Dolson brings in Beard, you gotta be one of his assistants. :)
  12. akumanina
    Yeah sure thing! And the 6th banner should happen before he gets drunk and involved in a bar fight with some stupid drunk college kid.

    I do like Beard as a coach. He's a winner. And I believe in giving people second chances, so as long as the charge was dropped and he learned his lesson, I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is his pattern of alcoholism and potential public intoxication; he can get into trouble any time and he's like a time bomb.

    Thank you for sharing. I'd say no to Beard.

    About Ben McCollum, I listened to Kent Sterling recently and he mentioned about McCollum and his offensive style being painfully slow...similar to Tony Bennett level of pace. I didn't know much about McCollum's style so I was a bit surprised to hear that. We all know winning cures everything, but would you think IU's fanbase be ok with such style?
  16. akumanina
    For me, I don't really worry about the charge. People make mistakes and hopefully Beard learned his lesson the hard way; he lost his dream job at his alma mater. I think if anything similar happens to him in the future, he'd probably and hopefully walk away from the scene. With that said, the thing I worry more about is his alleged drinking problem.

    If Dolson can keep Beard on a short leash successfully, Beard can be the best candidate. The more I think of this IU job, the coach has to have outgoing personality. No more introverts or weirdos. We need a normal, outgoing person who can coach.

    On top of that, Google says Buckner is a partner at Mack Financial Group, a wealth management company. If Mack Financial manages Woodson's money and Buckner gets a big cut because that's his client, wouldn't that be conflict of interest? Hopefully that's not the case.

    And Archie is STILL bad. Can't believe Archie was once one of the hottest young coaches. But as Dakich said, "everybody wins at Dayton."

    If the professor saw Woody the King of IU, he could've changed his opinion. RMK was a monster, but at least he won 3 championships and gave so much joy and happiness to the fanbase. So I'd say in the grand scheme of things, the cost and benefit kind of balanced. But the case of Woody the King is all costs ($hit load of costs) and almost no benefit. ROI is so poor in this case.

    Just out of curiosity, I googled the name of the current owner of Cook Group. He's Carl Cook, son of the late Bill Cook. And Carl Cook is a Purdue grad (engineering) and earned his MBA from Iowa. If he wanted to get his MBA from IU, he could've done it easily but somehow chose Iowa. So a Purdue grad is one of IU's biggest donors. Thought it was interesting.

    DD would've been 10 times more famous if he grabbed MJ's tongue. Would that be a flagrant 1?
  23. akumanina
    Don't worry. It's about time the King takes his mid-day nap.
  24. akumanina
    Your X's and O's are impeccable. You should get into coaching.

    Woody lacks self awareness in a criminal level.
