Well sports fans here it is, the infamous late Friday bad news dump.

IU release:  Effective with the 2024-2025 basketball season, Indiana University's basketball team will no longer be called Hoosiers.  Our new nickname will be the Indiana University Donor Dollars.

No name attached? Like the Indiana University Simon Skjodt Basketball Team playing in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Simon Skjodt Court with Simon Skjodt instead of Indiana on the jerseys..

Hope fans don't get their hopes.up for the 2025 class, because i don't think Woodson is going to prioritize recruiting and developing underclassmen

Oh, I won't. My expectations are pretty low, I expect to miss out on Sisley et al and have them kick our butts for 4 years.

I would still love for Woodson to say he was going to retire and let someone else take over. Still give him the buyout over 12 years. And we all move on. It could be a happy ending for everyone and who doesn’t like a happy ending. 

This guy....

Likely will be very ugly at the game on Sunday if he doesn't whereas it could be a lovefest if he did.  I'm expecting that when Woodson takes the mic on senior day there is going to be a lot of booing.  Hate that our seniors would be put in that position.

E-mails sent, thanking Quinn for retaining Mr. Woodson and telling Dolson he should be ashamed for ever trying to remove such a revered figured.

Also asked Mr. Buckner to look at sanctioned the BTownbanners posters who have made fun of Mr. Woodson.

Welcome back!

Been awhile since you’ve been around these parts.

The laundry list of Woody transgressions from the Basketball & War handle on X is alarming on a many fronts, but a couple stand out: 

1). That, if true, it happens in the first place

2). That he's left that kind of impression in less than 3 years back on campus. Sheesh -- talked about scorched earth!

Fwiw: their point #3 regarding no one communicating with McNeeley since his commitment is factually wrong. The staff visited McNeeley (and Queen) at Montverde mid-November and both McNeeley and his Mom have commented any number of times about communication with Walsh. If you’re gonna make a case, make an accurate one. 

I haven't interpreted any of those reports as "literally no contact" but more a lack of simple interaction direct from Woody. Something like a text after he had a big game, or just a text seeing how school was going. Little things that mean a lot to people on a personal level. Things that Bill Self was probably doing the entire time.

Nah, it’ll just be far less energized than in a normal year.

Is it true that Knecht didn’t come because Woody didn’t know his freaking name?

That was supposed to be Caleb Love who was actually on campus and Woody didnt know who he was. He told Knecht to not visit until after his surgery, Knecht visited Tennessee, and then committed to Tennessee without visiting. From my understanding of it.

Just sitting here scrolling through Google images of Dusty. I'll be alright guys. Haha

I love happy endings. But sadly we arent in a book or a movie. Thats where happy endings happen.

It’s not his responsibility to know recruits names on campus, he’s Mike Woodson!

Woody is getting his fourth year because the powers that be gave Archie a fourth year when they shouldn't have. Just because they made mistake then doesn't mean they should make the same mistake, but they are.

Is Basketball & War a Dane Fife burner?!!?

I want to know.

[cleeter 2,116]

Woodson needs that family member to slap him across the head and tell him to retire before his stupidity tarnishes his legacy.  As a Hispanic I naturally have everyone in my family doing that to me. 

Btown Podcast with [mention]Chris007 [/mention] [mention]Stuhoo [/mention] [mention]Class of '66 Old Fart [/mention] where they do a recap of posts from last evening and give their thoughts and then live reading of posts as they happen with their thoughts. Yeah, I’d listen.

I know everybody is upset about losing LM, but I think Woodson is probably relieved.  I don't think he wants to rely on any freshmen getting significant playing time ever again. 

Going forward I'll bet he's going to focus on using the portal to get proven upperclassmen.  Wouldn't surprise me if he does this exclusively and abandons the traditional recruiting approach.

Here is the problem I believe. It's a potential strategy in this day with the portal but imo it will never work. You need to bring in kids as freshman who develop and play together. You use the portal to get pieces you need to complete what your building and what your team needs. The main reason the portal will not work is the best players don't enter the portal. The best ones go pro. The next level down are really talented players but alot of them are already on a good team and stay put. The good ones who aren't happy who enter the portal will be sought after as the pieces alot of good teams are after. So we with our laughing stock program will have to beat out kansas and dukes of the world to get them. Probably not happening. The rest of the kids are probably alot like x. Talented players but have a bit of baggage with them which is a risk. If Woodson proves me wrong and adds a bunch of talented kids in the portal he then has to be able to get them to connect and play as a team. Something I have zero faith in him doing since he used that excuse 3 quarter way through this season. Welcome to the board. Sorry for the long reply

Don’t know if you can answer this, but whatever you post this weekend, do I need to have my phone on standby or am I able to put it away and enjoy Disney on Ice on Saturday

[cleeter 2,116]

Will the senior activities be on TV? Streaming anywhere?
