Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Recommended Posts

I noticed last night that Alabama played at North Dakota, and that it was because one of their players is from North Dakota. Rutgers recently did the same thing with a road game at Kennesaw State. I found myself wondering why we never do anything like that, then I realized Woodson may not even know where most of his mercenaries came from.

Can you imagine if Woodson scheduled an away game at Kennesaw St because a few of his players were from ATL and actually lost like Rutgers did? LOL

Well, he probably would lose, which I figured was the more obvious reason why we don't schedule those games.

What does IU gain playing at Kennesaw State? The played and beat them last year by the way.

He would probably lose is why. That north dakota team would've beaten him at ND

I'm pretty sure this was at least part of the reason why IU played Auburn in Atlanta last year. I use the term "played" as a technicality.

It is more like they showed up to attempt to play Auburn last year.  IIRC, RMK used to schedule teams close to where some of his players were from if they didn't come from any of the B10 areas.

You would be on here apologizing for him. That’s what would happen.

Win or lose I would be calling it idiotic. Gain absolutely nothing play on the road against a team like Kennesaw St or North Dakota. Just stupid.

They were in the building and running around on the court. Does that count?

Barely, that was the first game my wife and I had been able to go to in a long time. It started embarrassing from the jump when we realized IU didn't bring a mini band and AU did. Two small sections identical right behind one of the nets, one empty, one full. Then we had to listen to stupid War Eagle over and over and over. Ended up being a blessing for the band people I guess since they did not have to watch that in person. Nice arena complex though.

This I agree with, cool I guess for the player, but a stupid risk 100% of the time.

Yeah you would just need to wait another month or so for an opportune time to offer another disingenuous defense of Woodrow.

It's a general theme for programs to get their seniors closer to home. Luckily the best from Indiana play at Indiana so they don't need to schedule games like that for their seniors.

Oh wait, nevermind. The best players from Indiana play at Kansas or UCONN.
