I’m new here after many years on another site. This thread is a blast. Lots of good bits of info, some right and some wrong. Many funny posts. I don’t know why a few folks have to ruin it.

Well then let’s have the mods lock or delete this thread.

Aaack!

2011-12 was one of the few really enjoyable seasons in the past 25 years or so. We finally crawled out the rebuild that took three grueling years. Watching the players that got their ***** beat for so long start winning was awesome. Great team.

Yep, I follow what you meant and agree. It just read funny.

Our poor program.

Message boards are all about rumors and small bits of info, some true and some false, posters have to figure it out. And fans will discuss what they think and want to happen. If that’s not your thing, the IndyStar or Herald-Times would be a better fit.

Yep, she is trolling. I’ll admit she is very good at it.

I think we all know IU is a bureaucracy.

Our basketball program is a five alarm tire fire with no future right now. Scott and the powers the be are working on the coaching change, there is no way they cannot be. Only question is when Mike gets fired, mid or end of season. Probably end.

Our pretend insider is back!

And Leal is supposedly $400K, which is insane for 2.5 ppg. Breaks my brain every time I think about it. At least it’s our dumb donors paying for it.

Good point. A big reason there wasn’t a “mass exodus” last season is IU upped the NIL big time for existing players to levels they could not get close to anywhere else. I bet our portal players were offered $200-300K+ more than anyone else would pay them. As you said, who knows what Woody would have to pay to get players here next year. And anyone who would take the money would be a huge red flag.

It just keeps getting worse with him.

I’m not insider, but I agree, this is how I see it playing out as well. It will probably be nasty behind the scenes. Scott has to win the political battle — he’s probably got Pam on his side and if he can get our key donors too he’s good to go. Mike just doesn’t have a case to stay with these results after so much money spent, even the Cook crew will have to concede this point.

I wouldn’t be upset with fans that boo. It takes a lot to get our fans to boo a player — show serious effort and fans will be supportive 99.9% of the time. I just don’t feel the urge to boo players like I do with the coach and his pals.

Same. I don’t boo players, especially when they are stuck with Woody. I would boo Woody. My real targets are Quinn and Ferguson but I’ll never get a crack at booing them.

“It’s just not right that fans are doing what they’re doing to him [Trey].” I get his point I’m just tired of it. Ask the fans to support him or just leave fans out of it and say he’s about to play better.

Woodson attacks the fans again.

Or his FB shine may last awhile.

One way to put it, he wasn't for bball. And that's our problem. IU hires an AD, and then meddles with the job the AD should do. Terrible management.

He was a year into the job and the most or second most powerful person at IU and his pals wanted Woodson. What was Scott supposed to do? Quinn could just flat out not approve whatever Scott wanted and Fergie could cut off NIL… they held all the cards.

Yea, agree, just an observation that surprised me about Ole Miss bball.

Deep clean. Look around for any pro-Woody/old guard throughout the athletic dept and get rid of them. They’re toxic.

Yea, though interestingly Ole Miss has pretty darn good NIL.
