Class of '66 Old Fart

IUBB vs Fort Wayne - 12/18 @ 8:00 E.T.

Recommended Posts

I'd also recommend these kids with NBA pipe dreams to go watch a few G league games. Some of these guys are really, really good and can't sniff the league. They might learn how far off they are from where they need to be or put them back in reality.

Archie Goodwin, TJ Leaf, Marcus Paige, CJ Fair, Anigbuno, Cat Barber and some random cats that would run circles around our guys.

It's always bothered me when these guys that clearly have no business thinking NBA but aren't buying into the college game. Then they get schooled by ISU or IPFW. A part of me thinks it's hilarious.

No offense to you at all but this is so soft.

No excuses for this performance.

This was a chance to avenge one of the more embarrassing losses in IU history. We should have been "turnt up".

This team has next to zero fire. Miller has a lot but it isn't connecting. I hope half the team transfers tbh.

Most of Crean's players were mental midgets. And honestly, our current roster is why Crean needed to be gone two years earlier. He was done in 2015. He knew it, fans knew it, recruits knew it. And now that he's finally gone, we have a roster of two average to below average recruiting classes, a one-man junior class and seniors that are too far gone to really connect with Archie.

What has changed? CAM took over a known roster. He made no changes in CTC's incoming class, and has been applauded for keeping that class together. What has changed? Are the TO's down this year? Are we becoming a defensive juggernaut?. Do we have a top class coming in next year? Jury is out at this point, so we shall see. Please tell me about the bright light shining through the tunnel. It looks like the same train to me. Please tell me why a transfer from a middle of the road is seeing the floor at IU. Sell me how CAM > CTC. This should be good. I also want to go on the record that the CTC era was underwhelming to say the least. You have the floo

The jury is out? Opening arguments haven't even been completed.  We're 12 games into CAM's first season.

There is just no way in hell he was ever going to be able to unteach the bad habits these players have been taught overnight. I realize some of you expected as much but that was never realistic.

I'm not saying Archie is blameless in this loss but you are already passing judgment on his coaching abilities based on 12 games with a deeply flawed roster, which honestly is absurd.

I don't think miller is a snake oil salesman like crean. I think he can coach but can he get on keep us at the top of the big ten. We simply don't know and won't for a few years.

Lol. For the love of God where were you Saturday when we beat ND. It’s the same ******* team. Coach Miller can coach. These two games vs ISU and FT Wayne are those teams super bowl.... makes their season and could not come at any worse of time. The 1st game vs a mid major IND school vs a team with a new coach and system. The game after a grueling 5 game stretch and best win of the year. Good teams win both, but that’s not what we have. We have a group of roll players trying to win games. The same ******* team that beat ND on Sat.

I’m not making excuses.... just stating facts. I’m not happy about the loss, but I’m not crying about it either.

Coach Miller will regroup and we will see what we have at the end of the year. If you don’t give this coach minimum 3 years, you will be shocked what we get next. Football seems to be the go to today, so look at Tennessee.

I'm personally thrilled all to hell that we got Archie before any other big time gig opened up and took his services.  He will win here and win a lot.  Not concerned at all.

Exactly. He's alright shown he's a better coach than CTC. It's just a shame he's got to deal with sloppy seconds.

And this is why I'll continue to preach that we need to fill out our schedule with the Indiana States, Fort Wayne's, Valpos, Ball States, etc. of the world. You can only build toughness when you understand that it's their super bowl and helps in the long run. Getting Indiana talent that understands you need to beat the little dogs nipping at your feet will help too.

No excuse to EVER lose AT HOME to an instate mid-major. This is as devastating a loss as Notre Dame was an awesome win. Resume’ killer come tournament time.....let’s regroup! Only way to make up for this is to beat some teams ranked higher than us!

I’m fine with playing in-state mid majors, but with the make up of this team and the timing of the games - the outcomes were not shocking to me. Disappointing yes, but not earth shattering. I want teams that will bulldoze those teams and I think we have the coach that will build us that team. Not sure it’s this year or next, but I think he’s the answer. I’m personally not worried about making the tournament this year. I could care less. Would I be excited yes, but it’s really not that important to me. And please don’t call me soft for having that opinion. Lol.

Nobody is not giving Archie three years. It's a bad loss and there's no sugar coating it. We should not lose these games period let alone get blown out.

Something is wrong when a fan such as myself, is not even mad. This is so expected now with this program. To let a team like IPFW come into our house and smack us around with what we have is absolutely ridiculous. Archie should really be aware that the honey moon is over. IU is a place that will love you as long as you win but the minute you lose, you better believe people are gonna have questions. I just want this program to win again that is all, I seriously don’t even get excited to watch anymore. Something needs to change

Zoom out people.

I get that you’re upset your cubicle neighbor and Purdue cousin are going to give you crap for this loss and that upsets you. I also get that this lose is one game in the first of many seasons under a new head coach.

Bailout now if you aren’t ready for some bumps in the road, otherwise buckle up!

Only part i disagree with is lastnight was bit worse than a bump more like a sinkhole or something devastating like that
