68Hoosier

The verdict was out last year. he must have appealed to a higher court, LOL

Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Basketball Game. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm Hoosier emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest season since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny F***ing Kaye.

You know some of the players have to be really wondering why they came here for this. I know they have the talent and want to be coached and win games. My guess is they have no voice either and are just following the leader to keep their playing time. Shocked some have not left the team and started portal shopping already.

I think some of the assistant coaches have checked out as well. Why care if the king will not listen to what you have to say.

Worse, how can it get any worse. Look around Ellen, we're at the threshold of hell. (Classic Christmas Vacation for those that don't know).

If I added correctly, we have 41 incoming new faces.

Big Ten outpaces SEC with $880 million in revenue for 2023 According to this article it paid out over 60 Mil to each school in 2023 and outpaced the SEC and others. This was published in May of 2024.

Was just thinking the same. 20 Mil seams low based on the revenue it generates.

Is that all from the B1G media profit share?

Sorry, it was my fault wondering about what may have been. Moving on... Fire Woodson.

Great idea for a new coaching search / Big program series. The IU Basketball apprentice. 6 or so coaches going through a season to see who is left standing. Winner takes the team. Sir you are fired!

I stand corrected having quit a job a few times is commendable. You taught them all a good lesson. Now let's fire Woodson and find the next great basketball coach for IU.

and Archie record at Dayton was 139–63 (.688) 68–34 (.667) A lot of good that got us. I never said the line of work you were in was relevant I said you would not just quit, and I stand by that. Unless you are independent wealthy, you're not quitting your job over what someone else did. You may move on after you find another job, but you are not just quitting. I am not sure why you are so bent on me saying they had hoped he was the answer or not. There are numerous opinions on here about coaches. I never said he would be the greatest coach ever or even a good coach. I never met the man and never had any interactions with him so I can't tell you what type of person he is. He just seemed like he had the right mindset when I listened to his interviews at the time he was hired.

I love the fact that there are some very morally high standards for you and mamasa and I don't know where you work or what line of work you're in, but I highly doubt you would quite your job over something someone else did in your organization. You may not have faith in them for being a good person and you may look for a new job at some point, but I doubt you would just quit without having something else lined up. Maybe he tried, maybe he didn't. Maybe he even knew about it, but I don't know his specific circumstances when happened do you? LOL

So, if your boss does something you don't agree with your quitting? No matter if it hurts you or your family.

Not saying he could win at IU. I just had high hopes. Just because you can win or not win at a stop doesn't tell the whole story. If winning is all we looked at then Archie was the man. But he couldn't win at IU. I think there are multiple parts of the puzzle that need to fit and right now our administration is a round peg in a square hole along with our coaching staff that is missing an edge piece even before we get started. Plus, Fife got more experience under Izzo after not succeeding at IPFW. Nothing wrong with more training to get better so who knows.

I was thinking about that the other day as well. Didn't Ohio St score on us with like 5 sec. left in the game. So that score shouldn't count, and the margin of loss was less.

VB?? That one shocks me.

Yeah, but who knows if he was perusing coaching anymore. If there was a major issue, how did he last so long under Izzo? Who knows, I just had my hopes up that he was the guy back then.

A part of me really wanted Fife to be in waiting once the Woodson project was done. I know he said all the right things in front of the camera and had the background of being coached by Knight and years under Izzo. I was really bummed out when he was let go.

Depends how big they are :/

That's most emotion He may have shown since being here. Maybe we should put a picture of Taco Bell on the ball, and he will be more aggressive to it. He has all the skills and tools but man he has no motor to get after it that I can see.

Lets go Washington!!!!

Boy the ESPN commentators seem happy now. They seemed really stunned early on.

Can't make it too obvious LOL.
