Proud of you

So, just as I thought. A bunch of guys who want to ***** and moan but really don’t want to do anything about it. Doesn’t have to be running for the BOT, although they seem to be the target of many on here. Surely you all can find something more constructive to do than complain on a meaningless message board

So, don’t try then . It’s kinda like voting. If you don’t vote, what right do you have to complain?

Appreciate the response. No one else seemed to feel it warranted a reply. if you feel you are qualified to be the POTUS, I say, go for it. I’m a big proponent of the idea that if you are going to complain about something, then you should be willing to do something about it. The nomination period for the BOT. Is a real thing and provides an opportunity for someone here who is dissatisfied to step up and make a difference. Either folks here have a conviction they don’t.

Good win. Happy for the guys. Couldn’t help but enjoy the CBS commentary over the B1G network guys. Saying this in all earnest. Lots of criticism here regarding the BOT. I would love to see one of you guys who are their biggest critics run for a trustee spot. The window is open. You have until April 1 to get your nomination in. Do a search and you’ll see what the criteria are. Time for one of you to make your mark. Time for one of you to do something about what you’re criticizing. Good luck. You need 200 signatures among other things. I will be glad to sign for you.

Agree

So if someone doesn’t agree with kicking the dog, you can’t handle that? Whose problem is that?

You really think that? Or do you just want to be that guy that thinks the rest of the room is laughing with him?

I would have to see how the season ended. Win the B1G tournament and get to the dance 3 years in a row, it would be hard to fire him. Lose out and he’s going to be gone, assuming that the replacement is in place. Somewhere in between is where it gets dicey and I would have to go to the donors to decide how much support he does or doesn’t have. Again, if Pearl is there and ready to take the job that makes the decision easier. Maybe Oats too. Anyone else would take some convincing by the donors. I said before that I give Woodson about a 2% chance of returning. Not sure how that translates into I’m a Woody defender. Just don’t believe in tearing him down personally. It’s not that hard to understand

Nope. Didn’t call him clappy I may have also referred to his perpetual tan

God, you guys can’t seem to get the concept. I have said multiple times that I don’t know whether Woodson should return or not. That the rest of the season would determine that. I am not happy with the results this year but I am also not going to pass judgment until the season is over. What I am not going to do is make him an object of derision. I guess that makes me a defender. So be it. Someone on here has to not join the club of piling on .

Nope. Just how he couldn’t adapt to his opponent’s game plan. How his team was one dimensional. How he practiced them into the ground so that by the end of the season their legs were shot. How his teams played little defense. Only disparaging remarks I made were about his love of Diet Coke

So, you have no answer to my question. Not her to defend anyone. But expect any IU coach, any person for that matter, to be treated respectfully. How is that such a hard concept for people to adhere to?

Not the point. The point was the redundancy that I was being accused of. Those were examples. Sorry I didn’t make that point clear

Make the same point to all the guys with the hump jokes , the old man comments, the wine and cigar comments, and maybe I’ll listen to you. Or does your stance only apply in certain situations?

My feelings aren’t hurt at all. Lol And I was probably one of the leaders of the get rid of Crean movement on another board

Pretty sure I haven’t filled nearly 400 pages. Pretty sure that the number of “hump” references far outnumber my posts. My viewpoint is that CMW deserves to be respected, whether anyone thinks he should be the coach or not. If that’s offensive to many , not sure what else to say.

He was gone and Race was going to play his last season in Minnesota.

Not what you stated. Be more specific and I’ll respond to you

Yes they are. But that wasn’t what was stated. The game has not passed them all by. Glen Grunwald says hello

You’re right. A fan base that even the national media portrays as being more knowledgeable than most shouldn’t have their knowledge catty over into treating its coaches respectfully

So , a guy who captained the last unbeaten team and had a decent pro career, and a guy who captained a national champion and was a a multi-time All -Star have both failed at everything they have done? Bud, I get it we don’t see eye to eye, and I will gladly admit when I am wrong in our conversations, but making a statement like that makes me wonder whether you are evaluating this from a fair perspective

So, a poster could.. a) respond with a disparaging comment b) respond but be respectful c) not respond at all The overwhelming majority of posters choose a, unfortunately

TJD and Race were gone when Miller was fired if not for Woodson. Please give credit where it’s deserved
