IU_FanClub

Is the X discourse going to last all year? Feel like everything that needs to be said on that matter has been said and everyone is talking in circles. It's mid-January the roster isn't changing time to hold on for the ride and see what happens but no amount of complaining is going to save the roster now it is what it is.

Badgers are just glorified squirrels anyway

This game is a prime "fanbase is about to throw in the towel so we will win and drag you back in" candidate Or at least that is what I'm telling myself

Please no more Brad talk I can't handle the rejection again lol

Every time I turn on another game in this conference it seems like the teams are playing like their life depends on it but I turn our games on and it feels like we’re playing because it’s on the schedule

Getting Queen would be cool and all because he's a 5 star and a really good player, but it doesn't really fix any of our issues. Him not coming would not upset me at all because maybe that would force us to play real basketball. However, if him not coming turned into Sparks being a starter, I will stick my head in the microwave.

I would hope that the fanbase can act like adults and at the very least try not to make total ***** of ourselves publicly and respect Woody and the team enough to not turn home games into a toxic environment

Yeah being frustrated with him as a basketball player is one thing, but harboring personal anger towards a 24 year old you have no real relationship with and don't know personally at all is unnecessary. He is clearly in his own head right now and the fact that this fanbase has decided to pile on him rather than either pick him up or keep it to yourself is a sad thing we should be better than that.

If this season goes the way it is looking, and at the end we look up and have one commit for next year. Why would a 65 year old with millions in the bank even want to deal with a rebuild? Realistically if he is around next year and we suck again, which given what we currently have coming in is pretty likely, he would probably be fired so why not just hang it up and move on before things get worse?

Pretty much anyone with a pulse is an upgrade at guard at this point.

Reminds me of when I was a student and saw Deron Davis at the bars the night before a game. Next day we get down 17-0 at home to Michigan before the first media timeout lol.

I understand the thought process in the portal era behind us being able to put something together next year. However at this point I am going to be in "believe it when I see it" mode for all future players and coaches until there is a culture in place that I am not going to worry every time I turn on the tv or step into the arena about what we are going to see or if we are going to play hard, tough basketball. This isn't a woody specific issue it has been going on for a long time now. The culture of this program is soft and overhyped that is the only thing you know you are going to get year in and year out. Blowout losses and "we have a lot of talent on paper we are going to be good this year" are the only guarantees and that needs to change no matter how you have to or who does it.

You would think with as much as these guys lift and as strong as they look in their well lit before and after photos, that they could get a God damn rebound

We can get rid of him without the fanbase treating him like **** is what I’m trying to say

End of the day I do hope we can all be respectful to Woody while voicing frustrations. The boos while during the game I would’ve likely been joining if I was there, just feel wrong.I want woody to succeed but if that’s not going to happen I hope he steps aside soon so we can at least remember him in somewhat of a good light. He seems like a great guy. This is the problem with hiring a former player.

https://x.com/itsantwright/status/1747436016447762835?s=46 this is what IU basketball has been for years now under multiple coaches

I’ve made it there

That play was the perfect picture of what the last 20 years of Indiana basketball has been

Just a pathetic all around performance. Think we can kind of just go ahead and forget this season.

Might be coming around to the idea of getting rid of X

Have pregame jitters mainly because: 1. I absolutely hate losing to these guys 2. I have no idea what our team will look like on any give night

Did you mean to post this on Craigslist?

ESPN's matchup predictor is made up I am convinced

Yeah I try to be objective I know they are really good but them being almost double the favorite that Kansas was in a game where we will actually have the students there surprised me. And you are right, they have become a bit of a media darling over the last few years at this point a lot of them are rooting them on. Would be interested to see how IU would get treated if we lost to a 13, 15, and 16 seed in three straight seasons.
