Myles Rice "Woody? He's treated me like his grandson. He's not really one of my grandfathers but I consider him one of my grandfathers." 

Gallo: Eyebrows up. Side eye to Myles. Trying to contain laughter.

 

Aye caramba! Kinda makes me wish Dusty May (or Micah) would be the coach.

I specifically watched it to see Gallo's reaction.....lol All he did was start grinning when Rice mentioned Woodson feeling like a grandpa.... Galloway's reaction was totally of, "yep, that's how he treats us all, like one of his own."

I thought Gallo's reaction was more along the lines of "Oh sh!t; Myles just called Woody really old on national tv!"

I mean, he might as well embrace it.  He’s literally a grandpa, plus his persona, age and gait fit the billing. As much as I look forward to this years roster, and I do, it’s also hard not to wonder what kind of timeline Woody is thinking.  I think 3 years including this year if successful. 
 

sidenote, someone tell Barrell Rick that Hurley will bolt for an east coast NBA job after this season and UConn will be flailing.  Might as well commit to Indiana in the fall than waiting to decommit from UConn in the Spring/Summer when Hurley NBAs.

This from Woody today was sweet music to my ears.

Mike Woodson on Jakai Newton:

“He can’t go every day, and that’s because we won’t allow him to go everyday. The days he’s been out there, he’s been pretty impressive.

“Probably the most explosive athlete on our team playing above the rim.”

“Probably the most only explosive athlete on our team playing above the rim.”

Fixed that for you... and Woody.

Exactly the kind of thing I’ve been waiting to hear. Newton has been an afterthought for many bc of his injury, and not saying those remaining injury questions aren’t warranted, but man this kid is a real talent, so hoping he comes into the season healthy and stays healthy, lots of potential, and we’ve already seen him in a red jersey in practice

I mean it sounds horrible, and it may not be correlation or causation but Indiana hasn’t won enough to shut him up. Hopefully we have a great season this year.

I hadn't even noticed Rice's fingernails until Dakich brought it up. Imagine attacking a couple college basketball players for wearing suits to media day. What a sad, pathetic little man he's become.

He is irrelevant at this point. Old man yelling about painted nails. Yawn.

He’s just a jealous, sad little man man who didn’t get the coaching gig he thinks, baselessly, he deserved. 
He needs a mute button

He's still bitter that his  3-4 record and total post season flameout with a team that had top 10 talent as the interim HC didn't land him the full time position. He's been spewing spite ever since and this is just  the latest example. Nothing to see here.

So funny coming from him. He was one of the worst captains in IUBB history. But he loves to judge.

Dakich should judge the "effeminate" leadership qualities of Myles Rice in the context of this:

Myles Rice: "I had to do chemotherapy for seven months between the months of October to, to April I want to say. Yeah and so I had, I did about like two or three different surgeries and two different biopsies after I finished my, my regular scheduled chemotherapy.

I got really sick so I had to go back to the hospital for a month-not a month I mean a week and I had a tube in my neck and so that pushed everything back a month and so it was just it was really... it was a hard time for the first month maybe month and a half. Just because your body's getting used to you know all the chemotherapy. And like so I didn't have the energy to really sleep eat. You know just basic everyday things. Sleeping? I'm like I'm sleeping for like 16 hours and sometimes, sometimes I'll sleep for three.

Like it it it was bad and on top of that you know just juggling schoolwork or you know do at school."

Interviewer: "So you're telling me my man you were doing chemo yes and school?"

Myles Rice: "And practice yes. 100% "

I'm not sure if he reads this board, but if he does he now has the context needed to adjust his statements and his view.

He's a total DB so that won't happen. He'd probably just double down.

Sadly, Dan is always right, even when he's wrong.
