Interesting observation, because that was the criticism of Knight from the mid-90's, that he had lost interest in recruiting, had turned the responsibilities over to the assistants, and as a result, the product on the floor suffered.

Since the definition of whiff is to completely miss something, how does someone completely whiff? More importantly, you’re wrong. Sisley is committed and by all reports, is tearing it up at Montverde. Not a grand slam, but in no way a whiff , and really discredits a guy who wants to be a Hoosier

Yawn. You just won’t let it rest, will you? One trick pony for sure

So, we play both Michigan and Washington in the last part of our season. Who do we have a better chance to beat?

Ty Son Lawton was quoted on our telecast that he is 25

All I know is, is if they don’t score 40, It’s a disappointment

As much or more excitement for IU football than when Penix dove for the pylon v PSU?

IU needs to pony up and give the HFC a CIGnificant raise!

Kurtis Rourke =Phillip Rivers without the snark

Took a break this summer, and still not sure how often I will post here, but I see that some things have not changed

We have the guys that can contain Smith. Gallo, and the new guys have the length, strength and athleticism to neutralize whatever he does. Smellermakers may make the top third of the conference, but no way they are the best team

Great story about ADSD, and today’s football game is further evidence of how ridiculous the title of this thread is

I’ll “poke the bear”-your words, not mine, while you hold on to some cockamamie delusions that a guy who emphatically turned IU down several years ago will suddenly have a come to Jesus moment and head to Bloomington. Or maybe the Stevens idea is a “ giant waste of time” as you say.

Maybe. Or if the team does well there will be the narrative that, of course they did, because the team was bought. My hope is that the team excels for the players. They are the ones who are putting in the blood, sweat and effort. If the results then elevate Woodson, so be it. If the team doesn’t perform up to expectations, then he needs to be held accountable. I have said that before, but it appears that some folks want to ignore that

And I was not aware that he was also at Huber.

Do you even read what you are responding to. I said that I was NOT excusing anything. Tried to understand whether there was a logical explanation for his not being at the coach’s meeting. When I learned that he could have been at both events, I acknowledged that. Always confrontational, or just here?

Nope, not an excuse. An honest question and a possible explanation which, based on the responses I got shows he could have done both events. Do you guys always have to take the low road whenever someone posts something that doesn’t fit your narrative?

When were the meetings? Wednesday he was at Huber for the annual fundraiser. Which would you rather he attend if there were a conflict?

Maybe it’s my age, but I don’t ever recall Woodson being considered the second coming ,

Understand… however Woodson’s age is repeatedly brought up by folks here… which should have no bearing on his ability to coach. The recruiting trail you point out should be a responsibility of the staff , don’t you think? Younger guys who have the connections to 17-19 year olds. Woodson certainly needs to be involved, but the staff should be doing the heavy lifting. My point is… judge Woodson for the on court results but don’t bring the age issue into the conversation. Hell, we’re about to elect a president who will be in his mid 70’s. If the upcoming season is a cluster, then time for a change. But let the upcoming season play out before making a decision … based on performance, not age.

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?
