Speaking of riding ponies, have you heard anything about Amish girls?

Oddly enough I have. I'm actually surrounded by them. To be clear they're all wouldn't-s (has anyone done research on how to pluarlize that) but they can bake well enough to make me not care.

Watching UConn and Villanova because I hate myself apparently, and still am not over missing out on McNeeley. Kid is a flat out baller, not just super skilled but his effort level and workmanlike approach to the game is so desperately needed at a program like Indiana.

We’re gonna regret the Woodson hire for a long time, I think.

The mailman never sleeps. Alaska-Anchorage plays at some obscene hour in the day.

Woodson doesn’t even know his name still.

He was praising “Trayce” Galloway the other day. I will not miss his aloofness. You just can’t lack basic attention to detail as a head coach. I know for a fact it cost us more than one top-level recruit.

Also I won’t miss him speaking in the third person. What the hell was that anyway?? How did he never take any heat for that? lmao

"Leonard Mcneely" could have gotten us over the hump.

No wonder my mail gets delivered to the wrong house sometimes. Just kidding, but really though it happens

I noticed this the first summer he was here and he got Flory Bidunga's name wrong. I was told it was no big deal and coaches made mistakes like that all the time.

The hire is someone from left field.

This left fielder’s name?

Why.

Well,  I just thought I’d ask you.

well, I  just thought I’d tell you.

Then tell me who’s playing left field!

I already told you, Who’s on First.

I’m not asking you who’s on first, I want  to know what’s the left fielder’s name?!

What’s on Second.

 I don’t know!

He’s on Third!

 I’m not asking you who’s on Third

Who’s on—-

I’ll break your arm if you say who’s on first!

this is how I feel after reading this thread. I’ll be so glad when this is over, because I’m getting to the point my opinion about this coaching search is the same as the shortstop’s name!

I'd give Cig another season before you crown him.  We played 2 good teams all season and got torched both times.  He was also able to bring a bunch of his JM guys with him.  Just reminds me of Tom Allen's covid year where we didn't beat a single team that finished in the top 25 and he got a near $40M buyout for it then the wheels came off.  Many of us called it at the time.  Expect a lot of 7-5 finishes from Cig which is certainly fine.

I know it's hard for folks to grasp because we've been so used to the disappointment of the football program but IUFB finally has a coach that knows what he's doing.

What a horrible take. Lol.

Some folks just want something to complain about.

Apparently winning 11 games has now raised the expectations to such a level that every subsequent season will now be seen as a disappointment to these fans.

Yeah, I don't deny that.  But way too many coaches get full of themselves and are too stubborn to change and adapt.  They will force their "system."  See our current guy for Exhibit A.  :)  He's going to be able to attract much better talent at a school like IU.  You don't want to handcuff them in a D2 style system.  

What I would say is that was likely asked in interview -- about adapting to a P5 level.  One thing I do know is that Dolson was asked what he was looking for in a new coach and a major thing was that they needed to embrace the portal, not run away from it.  So either that would mean McCollum is wary of the portal and isn't the choice or he has indicated that he plans on using it extensively.

Guys - my sources are telling me that it’s McDermott. Not a joke. Not a troll. You heard it here first. I joked about his son earlier. This is not a drill

[rcbowla]

Off to bed but Jerrod Calhoun's teams play in a way that I could get behind. I've liked him from the jump tbh. Now, everyone tell me how terrible of a hire that would be without having ever watched them....go.

This is about the 12th coach I'd be cool with over the last few weeks. Actually he is 2nd on my list of realistic candidates that haven't said no.
