DWB

And I'm going to give him more than 2-3 years before I even remotely get antsy if things don't start out well for him. Cause I know in the long run we'll get back to an upper tier, maybe even elite status again. (I doubt if we have to wait nearly that long. I say year 2 we'll be competing for Big Ten title)

And not ONCE did he say "uhhhh", "ummm", or anything close to that. Guy is class thru and thru.

My new PC wallpaper !!

I think he was listed at 6'-7" on the basketball roster. Didn't weigh as much then....

Yeah you're right. He's already doing far too much "coaching from the sidelines" now as it is.

Not saying you're wrong at all, but the clothing industry changes every 3-6 months. Deciding on uniforms years in advance is really surprising to me. Anyway, back to Coach Woody !

No first hand knowledge, but having had a stint in the clothing industry, I would suspect that Adidas has designers on staff that come up with several prototypes (like auto guys have concept cars) and run them by the schools for approval. Not sure what IU's approval process is, but one would think the players would have some type of input. (maybe not major, but some)

How about we start with upgrading our mental aspects on winning before we add more $$ to the physical facilities? Unless you can change the size and placement of the hoop, facilities are not a top priority in my book. Many successful entities do a great job without having Taj-Mahal facilities.

BTN just confirmed presser is at 10 am

Someone else posted earlier that it was @ 10. Probably should check out both times to make sure you don't miss it.

For any of you that "might" want to ignore a poster, any poster, just hold your cursor over their name, and at the bottom of the pop up window is the Ignore option. I think I'll try it out...

Not sure you even had a vote...

Any idea what channel (radio/TV)?

Winning is everything...no doubt. But I was looking at it from a slightly different angle. Should CMW try to retain guys in the transfer portal? Maybe they need to sell him, (not him sell them) by showing him, how they CAN play. I'm not sure we want to keep the entire roster in check. There probably are a few guys that need to be gone. (not saying who. That's for CMW to decide) If the transfer market is half what everyone believes it will be, it might make sense to revamp the roster asap. Just a thought.

If you're not kidding, please give us a couple days of warning. I'll drive up from SC to see it. (really)

No news here.

You were led to believe that by those who have no idea....period.

Personally, I think he's already won most of them over already. It's just a few of you nay-sayers on here that are the hold outs.

I think Woodson will be a great, (and tough) coach for TJD. Who better to relate what todya's NBA is really like (other than his father, who's been out of the NBA for quite a while)

Ryan Phillips tweet: Just got texts from several Big Ten contacts. Most are lambasting the Woodson hire. One summed it up pretty well: “So a 63 yr old who’s never coached in college or recruited is the guy to rebuild that program? They could have done so much better. Indiana gonna Indiana.” #iubb ---------------------------------------------------------- Anybody who believes this guy is connected, give me a call, I've got some primo swamp land that is a "sure thing" for high end development. Arrogant SOB

Let me tell you something son...from an old fart that's older than Beilein, I'm still pretty damn sharp mentally. And along with age comes wisdom. Something you appear to be a little short on at this point in your life. Woodson is our coach. Either get on the train, or get the hell out of the way. IU fans are not fair weather fans. We're always IU fans.

If I'm a coach, a good solid coach, and I had a chance to go to IU, I could not think of a better time. We've had a dumpster fire for 4 years. We've been in decline for 20 years (with a couple of good years thrown in for kicks) Fan base is foaming at the mouth to win again, and fan expectations are far lower now, than 10 yrs ago Hard to imagine it could get much worse. Transfer portal is a real opportunity to fix the roster (at least partially) quickly Great chance to have a better year in 21-22 than 20-21. and then build from there. Would you face a lot of scrutiny under the fan base microscope? Sure. But that will happen no matter what. If you start winning, you'll be a hero.

You're absolutely right. My problem is I'm still trying to figure out what they ARE known for. Can't come up with anything.

Well that should pi$$ a bunch of guys off based on recent comments. But that's OK, we all have our own viewpoints, and that's what makes the world go 'round.
