Ever hear of something called ageism? Last I checked there are laws against even mentioning a person’s age in regards to their employment

What if he does? What if IU makes the FF? What would it take for you to give him any credit? I don’t know if Woodson can pull it off or not but I am going to at least give him the opportunity. Are you that connected to the program that you know, 100%, that “ his buddies “bought him a roster? Or is that your sorry @$$ lame explanation? I get that there are folks wanting Woodson gone. What I don’t get, and frankly what is really pathetic, is the assumptions that lead to those opinions.

Huh… I thought that the old folks were stereotyped as closeted minded

Of course you wouldn’t

Or… what if you let this next season play out, and then make a decision?

Would rather he is ready for the start of the season.

Caleb Love also pulls out of the draft and will return to Arizona

Maybe not the place for it, but it was comedy… Tonight FOX had a 2 hour homage to M*A*S*H. I forgot how great this was, through cast changes, it always delivered. Funny, but also could bring me to tears. I don’t think there could ever be a better comedic series

If you want a good illustration of how f’ed up the whole NIL process is, look up the saga that is Jaden Rashada. His attorneys are hilariously positioning him as a victim. Unbelievable

Over the weekend, Fort Wayne hosted the Mad Anthony's Red Coat Gala, where the honorary awardees are given a red coat. Long time event that has raised significant money throughout the years for various charities. One of this year's honorees was Bishop Dwenger/Notre Dame/Bengals tight end, Tyler Eifert. In his comments, he mentioned that "there's always so much hype around ND every single year--we gotta find a way to get over that hump." Guess IU basketball isn't the only ones facing the proverbial hump!

So glad to see Schauffele win the PGA after collapsing last week v Rory. Did not want to see anyone attached to the LIV win and definitely didn’t want to see DeChambeau win. Great drama at the end. Hope it sets the stage for an equally great US Open

I’ll be rooting for IU to win every game but I think this year will be a learning experience for the staff as to what it takes to win at the big boy level. 5 wins but the foundation will be set for better days ahead

Might be able to pick up a Red Lobster, dirt cheap

Just listened to an interview with Gottlieb. Not the ****** that many make him out to be. As far as coaching experience....he was a consultant to the Oklahoma State program this past year. Got to sit in on player meetings, planning meetings, and got to learn how to run a program. Also has coached multiple AAU teams--not necessarily a glowing resume, but has some experience. He understands his shortcomings. Because he is coaching at a lower level, he negotiated the time to be able to continue his nationally syndicated radio show every day. Due to this, he asked for much less money from UWGB so he could go out and hire and pay staff not normally seen in this level of a program. He is going to surround himself with people who can help him learn what he doesn't know. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Gottlieb fan. Not to the level of Dakich dislike, but closer to that than anything else. However, he did come across as being humble and willing to learn as he goes. Willing to spread the wealth to bring in qualified help. In a day of greed and me first, it's refreshing to hear this from a guy. Maybe, like all of us, he has matured and grown from the guy who stole credit cards 20+ years ago.

Woodson has something that Archie never could, the experience in and the contacts with the NBA. He has used that to convince TJD to come back to IU. He used it to recruit JHS. He used it to acquire Ware, and probably Ballo. These guys don't stay at, or come to IU without the thought that Woodson knew what it takes to get to the league. Frankly, he probably is the only IU coach in my lifetime with the connections to the league that he has. I am not saying that translates to winning games at IU. I am saying it translates to attracting high end talent.

There is an intrinsic value to wearing the Candy Stripes, even if it’s just for one year. Be a good teammate and do your job when called upon and you become beloved by a fan base that can create lifelong relationships As much as he’s been criticized of late, Leal is a prime example. Not saying it’s the same as being a Notre Dame alum, but this guy could set himself up for success well beyond his time on a basketball court.

Frankly, I find some of Davis' behaviors much more appalling than anything Woodson has said. The whole "I don't desreve to coach here" situation was such an embarrassment.

If we’re including Marion… Lyndon Jones

Really don’t care about how he acts. Not sure why it bothers some of you guys. Doesn’t affect you. Can’t do anything about it. If his actions have materially impacted your life, please share how

Yeah, I'm one of those old guys, but I do understand statistics. He left one out though. You know, that one where 1.2% of all college players get drafted to the NBA. And the statistic for those that last 14 years in the league has to be infinitesimally smaller than that. It's not your fault if you've never been at the top of a career ladder for an extended period of time.

Yeah, I don’t get the comments about his playing career. Criticize away about his coaching, but you don’t last as many years in the NBA and have a career avg. in double digits without being a good player. What’s the percentage of players who even make it to the league?

Last time I will post in this thread. Said it before, some folks are holding on to stuff because they want to be butthurt. No one here was personally affected by anything CMW has said or done. No one had their reputation ruined. No one had their careers affected. No one lost money over his actions.So what, he said some things or acted some way that some people don’t care for. You and I are not paying his salary, we have nothing invested in him other than the emotional value we place on our fandom. It’s almost like it’s easier to just keep repeating the same thing rather than saying that, at least for this next year, Woodson is the coach. All for this season being make or break for CMW and his staff. With the money that has been devoted to the program, there can be no excuses for less than a stellar season. But regardless of the outcome, my life won’t change and I will not be tethered to the comments, perceived slights, or whatever is communicated by Woodson or his staff

One of the stars of the’67 Rose Bowl team. All-American and IU football HOF

Guess Deshaun Thomas making 1st team All-B1G and 2nd team All-American or Caleb Swanigan being 1st team All- American and B1G POY don't constitute being a "high level college player."

I can understand Huber from a fundraising standpoint. But when it's pointed out all the talent in the area, and yet one kid has committed to IU from that neck of the woods in the recent past, I don't buy it as a recruiting gem.
