I told my wife this morning I was becoming a Purdue fan. I said it's time to root for the Black and gold. She said why? We just got a new coach and you said he's doing great things. I said because it's April 1st. She said get out of here and go to work. 

 

That's why wives are frequently referred to as "better half."

A really decent article about Woodson, Knight and regaining what IU has lost...from tOSU perspective of their fan site 11 Warriors: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/college-basketball/2021/03/121964/an-emperors-shadow#comments

The comments are fun, too.

Thanks!  That was a really good article.

Something that stood out is this line: "but those 10 lost years boiled off the emperor pressure at the heart of the identity crisis..." 

I believe this is very true.  Nobody was going to succeed RMK immediately following his dismissal.  By the Sampson Crean tenures we could have gotten back on the track with the right coach, but they weren't.  Archie was just not a good fit.

Hopefully Mike Woodson is the right guy.  I'm optimistic that is the case.

You should wait by an arrival gate holding up a "Dane Fife" sign and see if you get a crowd around... either he shows or you can say "April Fools"....

Breaking News on the IU basketball program. It has become a dumpster fire.

I think we need an equivalent of a swear jar on btb.  Anyone who mentions  Brad Stevens has to put a quarter in the jar and we'll have a helluva party watching IU play in next year's NCAA under Coach Woodson.

That was actually really funny. The thought crossed my mind that Woody might regret the move just due to the pizza.

I heard Dolson just offered Roy Assistant to the Associate Athletic Director, Men's Basketball. IU is throwin' big bucks around now.

So Chris Beard went to Texas. Dolson was smart to focus on other options.

Stevens to UNC after Roy hangs it up......if it happens I'll flip a table haha

Once the job was open, I knew it was going to be a long shot on Beard

[8bucks]

Beard would never have left us right after accepting the job right .... 

 

I bet UNLV fans are enjoying this but to be fair, TT fans should be thrilled with what they got to experience. They do have resources allocated to basketball now and should be able to attract someone looking for their opportunity to shine

If that happens, I want them on next year’s schedule as a non-con at AH.

That's Woody giving someone the stink eye when they don't hustle back on D.
