So if you are IUFAN 1976, did you graduate then? If so, I would hope at your age you’d find something better to do than call someone Mr. Hump.

Yep. You are right Happy to be here

I don’t need to do anything. People want to complain but don’t want to hear it when there are ways to improve the situation. Lots of jokes here about running for the BOT. If you can improve the status quo great. If you aren’t up to the task of running for the position, then find a way to help instead of tearing things down. The snarky jokes and comments come across as defensive… like the only option is to criticize

Queen had a mother who wanted him to stay close to home. At least stay accurate with the facts

So you can’t stay true to your position. You go with whatever the majority says.

I’m not the one complaining about the BOT so I have no problem with what they are doing

Continue to support the program. As I have said previously, wait until the season is over before passing judgement.

So glad a mod is here to be a disinterested third party

At least I stay true to myself. How many times have you made the statement about if Duke had run Coach K off based on his first 3 seasons. Now you’re part of the posse.

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?
