It’s not true.

The internet rumor  (imagine one of those being wrong :) ) was based on a photo of a guy that had “Gallo hair” but was clearly a thin 5’11” guy. It wasn’t him.

You may want to look at the other pictures posted.  Gallo with a young fan, wearing the same clothes, including the shoes.   We just don't know if it was 2:00 PM or 2:00 AM.

I get it, and am not arguing that we are getting value for the money or that Woody is doing a good job, but the “money theme” slides into calling the players paid mercenaries etc.

The entire Louisville team is new. Raise your hand if you think they are playing for the love of the Ville with no concern of getting paid.

Sure they are but I look at a team like wisconsin who looks really good so far and there's no way those guys are getting paid anywhere near what Woodson paid for the new guys he brought in. The return on the investment so far looks awful.

Looks like big time coach Woodson is going to get a huge win today. Let the twitter chest bumbing begin. Tyme will be pumped. And with cupcake city up next Woodson will be on a roll.

That has been dispelled.

I didn’t see that!  I could picture him playing a little blackjack but I can’t see him playing until 2 AM, but what is the real truth?  I just know what I read and heard, but you are correct, they are just rumors but you never know with these players anymore.  Now that their tournament is over, they can play all the blackjack they want!

So by your logic, I should be ok racism, misogyny, bigotry and bullying since I have not been personally affected?

Yeah, those things are exactly the same as getting butt hurt over something a coach said..

I told you guys that I am getting more on the side of Woodson needs to go. But I'm not going to waste any more time with some nonsensical argument like this.

I don’t know if this has been posted on this thread or not. Somebody posted on Facebook today. I thought it was pretty funny.

I'm half tempted to check out twitter and read all the chest thumping comments after the massive win. I'm guessing alot of were back baby stuff. Tyme has to be on cloud nine today.

Miraculous that all of a sudden we got less tired. I guess Cliff Marshall isn't a scapegoat today. 

[IUHoosier5 1,572]

I think Dolson will make a great hire when it’s time for him to do so. His hire of Cignetti makes me believe he’ll look for the same character traits, and often times a leader like that can will his team to success even if the talent isn’t as good. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard!

I'm guessing it helped providence played a late game and had to come back early but you can only use that excuse if your iu and woodson.

Are we certain Tyme isn't on the Athletic Dept payroll?

Yep.

Mea Culpa.

I saw those posts and deleted mine but as your reply shows…….posts don’t die on the internet :) :) :)

I heard Tyme has a very well-manicured goatee.

You are answering my post with a point I’m not making.

I’m not stating that the ROI is good or that Woody is doing a good job.

I don’t however, get the many money/mercenary posts when all the other schools are doing the same (even if they don’t have as much $$ at their disposal). If a guy takes less money to play at NC State, as an example, because he has less  market value, does that make him less of a “mercenary” ?? 

The fact that we have one of the highest NIL budgets, with mediocre results, will help end Woodys tenure.

I think your statement confirms his statement.  I think the mercenary comment maybe coming from the fact that Woodson’s lack of be able to recruit more than one HS recruit last year and this year has resulted in him bailing out by using the NIL, I think that is what Mercenaries are.  Last resort and pay for hire!  Just my opinion!  I am sure majority of schools didn’t pay half as much that IU did and could be having just as good of results, if not better.

Dolson, in spite of giving Woody a million dollar raise, isn’t stupid and I trust he will try to replicate the Cig template.

Cig was a brilliant  hire but there was also a little luck involved as there are plenty of examples of guys having pristine mid-major resumes that did not successfully make the jump to a power school (also plenty that did have success).

I just hope to hell the basketball gods allow us to hire a winner as these decades of mostly bad/mediocre teams is really wearing me down.

Most of the IU football starters are portal guys. Are the IU football players simply “mercenaries”? “ I just don’t get labeling individual transfer players as mercenaries when we don’t know the primary motivation of each of those individual players.
 

And yes, I agree that other teams are doing better with lower payrolls which is why I repeatedly say our ROI is not good.

I think you are missing the point!  I’m not calling anyone a mercenary but I think the way he was using above is a reflection on how MW is using them.  I could be wrong but I think that was a direct statement about Woodson’s recruiting ability.  I just provided a type of definition, which sort of fits IMO
