Exactly - I’m not talking about how much it makes us IU fans sad, I’m talking about tournament considerations.

 

It's not just that it makes us sad.  It's that we were either blown out while looking terrible, or that we let a good lead slip away.  Those are bad losses to me

I'm withholding judgment until he fixes the mess that are the football divisions.

So we need to be down a few (but not too much) early, valiantly struggle to make up that deficit, and courageously succumb by the narrowest of margins at the end for it to not be a “bad loss?”  ;)

I'll never understand the acceptance of losses

I'll never understand the acceptance of losses

I’ll never understand someone thinking a team projected as a 6-10 seed is above losses

Losses are reality.

 It’s been since 1977 that this reality has been an absolute.

If I’m only enjoying myself when things go as planned/hoped for, I’m gonna be pissed off way too often.

And there's the acceptance.

Losing is obviously going to happen. Blowing a 6 point lead in the final minute at home doesn’t have to happen.

Haven’t you accepted losing by still following and talking on a message board about IU basketball even though they are 4th in their own state in winning % and total wins in the last 20 years?

Honest question...where we stand right now, if you put a tournament field together, is IU deserving of a bid?

I guess we don't give a dang what we are projected we are iu and want to win every game especially at home. Keep winning and be a top 5 seed. You keep a level head and look at the college basketball landscape and tell us what you think is acceptable or ok. I want to be back to 40 plus game home winning streaks and national titles. Yeah it isn't in the cards this year but that don't mean expectations should drop or blowing 6 point leads in the final minutes is ok

I see the negative posters are out in full force tonight. If only they would post this much after a win.

Too early to say. He is just getting his "legs" under him. Judging him on one game is dumb IMO

I know this isn't my beef but I don't like this post at all. No offense though I just think it is a cheap shot. Just cause he doesn't quit loving the Hoosiers or posting on a message board don't mean he accepts losing.

I also apologize I thought this was the negativity thread. I apologize trying to get use to this new app

How exactly does one that has no direct impact on the program accept or not accept a loss? Just want to make sure I’m following the rules.

I’m just saying in a way we all have accepted it in some form or another. If I truly didn’t accept losing I wouldn’t of watched the 100 + losses IU has had in the last 6 years

Screw this post so much. Most posters post frequently regardless of the outcome. 
 

This post is further proof that the concerns by the realistic fans haven’t been addressed and people are at a loss as to why.

Also none of us would ever play golf again.
