Listened to a bunch of podcasts today to get a vibe for what national people are saying. Two main things stood out - First, not a lot of faith that we’ll land one of the really big fish. Everyone talked about Stevens and it was split between making fun of us for even trying or saying, “hey, you at least need to make the call and make him say no.” But no one thinks we get him. Second, a pretty interesting factoid I heard (which seems directly counter to the current belief) was that Otzelberger actually had his buyout substantially LOWERED this past offseason. It went from like $15 million DOWN to $5 million. I think it was Goodman who said that on Field of 68, but don’t hold me to that…Anyway, if that is actually true that is awfully interesting.

I think it’s a pyramid scheme.

I love it. Roughly translated - “c’mon guys, PLEASE don’t boo him out of the building tomorrow.”

FWIW, most of their foreign recruiting came from Tommy Lloyd. That well has dried up to some extent since he went to Arizona.

He wouldn’t be my first choice either. Mainly because of age. But the Zags getting upset in the tourney thing just isn’t real at all. They are probably the most consistent tournament performers since Izzo in his heyday. They just never got over that final hump. I’ll see myself out.

They’ve made the Sweet Sixteen EVERY SINGLE YEAR since 2015. An absolutely ignorant statement.

It is. My closest friend was a player on their first team that put them on the map (1999). He is still close to the program, and there was a lot of concern that they couldn’t hang in the new NIL space. I think they had well under a million dollars for their entire roster this year. Not a good time to be a small religious school in the middle of nowhere Spokane.

“The fans”. In other words, those not as suave and sophisticated as me.

Anyone listen to the Mark Titus podcast? Woody came up this week. They were mainly talking about the Hubert Davis situation at UNC and how it could be really awkward if Roy wasn’t okay with letting him go. They analogized it to IU and said that this is the problem with hiring people from within. Concluded with the fact that if Woody had played his college ball anywhere else he undoubtedly would have been fired after last year.

Yet you choose to believe an absolutely unverified X post from a poster with BURNER IN THEIR USER NAME about death threats to Woody. Truly a masterclass in Never Been Got Scott hypocrisy and self delusion.

Material thief!

The team looks almost as bored playing as I do watching.

I’m actually hoping for a UNC football situation here. Mediocre Mike says he has no intentions of leaving and Dobson steps in right after and says, “actually…”
