Something I couldn’t get past watching the games last night after the presser yesterday: 

Kelvin is 65 and seems 55. Woodson is 63 and seems 70. I’m happy for Woodson and I hope it works - I haven’t really figured out how I feel about it and I still don’t fully understand it - but the age thing is tripping me up. 

disagree.  Sampson look like he shuffles along the sideline in velcro shoes.  Woodson looks late 50s, no grey in that beard.

I’m 27 and I feel the exact same way. I honestly started getting a little choked up when I watched his press conference. It’s really exciting seeing a head coach who makes it obvious how much IU means to them. 

I like seeing people who have a passion for their job and are happy to be here.

It's not just another job that happens to pay more than his last job for him. It's his dream job, and I know he's going to do everything he can to get the program back to where we all want it to be. 

And I'm going to give him more than 2-3 years before I even remotely get antsy if things don't start out well for him. Cause I know in the long run we'll get back to an upper tier, maybe even elite status again. 

(I doubt if we have to wait nearly that long. I say year 2 we'll be competing for Big Ten title)

I am concerned we lose Franklin , Lander and coach Hunter to Louisville.

All three to Louisville? Cuz that would be one hell of a steal by them and frankly it would make me want to add them to the schedule immediately.

Isn't Louisville up for some discipline?  Wasn't that why the Chris Mack rumors started?

Woodson doesn't look 70 to me

Never said “look” - I said “seems.” I’ve seen people come out of a wisdom tooth extraction with more energy. And the contrast between him and others thought to maybe be in the mix - Musselman, for example - is striking in that regard. 

Again, maybe it works. I don’t know. But that’s the concern for me right now.

Coach Woodson is looking for that team with echos of: George McGinnis; Joby Wirght; Calbert Cheaney; Dick Van Arsdale; Walt Bellamy; Isiah Thomas; Scott May; Steve Alford; Randy Wittman; Jared Jeffries; Quinn Buckner; and all of the Indiana University basketball team members.  Make it so.

I arrived, as a freshman, in 1969.  It was far out back then.  Basketball in the old fieldhouse. Football was big. and Basketball was bigger!  

I wish Coach Woodson great success.

The one thing that throws a wrench into your entire train of thought, is that RMK was not an IU guy.  Until he was....  

The whole debacle that has been IU basketball for 20 years now, is not that RMK left.  It was the way he was let go.  If IU, and RMK, had handled the situation better we probably would have been closer to UNC.  They had one failure after Dean left.  The person following an icon is probably not going to succeed.  

I would say it is 50-50 at best that Woodson succeeds.  I truly hope he does, but it will not have much to do with him being an IU player at one time.  

I am in the same fan boat as you.  Started to know what basketball was in the early 70's.  Graduated IU in 87.  

Well, they had another massive failure under Roy too. WAY WORSE THAN WHAT KELVIN DID, but just did not get punished so that helps.

Apologies for the rant and getting off topic but few things piss me off like Roy getting away for bull**** classes.
