Woody's been telling Rice that the key to beating the Bulls is to contain Derrick Rose. 

More likely he's telling him to contain Dennis Rose.

….are you also IUScott on HSN? Lol

Yes, he is. He was under that name here for a while but changed it some time back. Waaaay back I believe he was on Rivals (peegs at that time) with that name, too.

Sort of unpopular take but I don’t see a problem with Hornsby’s posts in this thread… some of it I just find to be absurdist humor that gets at the idea of just how much of a crap show it is behind the scenes with things like Ferguson giving him more money lol. I don’t see why everyone acts like it’s such a foregone conclusion he is gone. IU has a bad history with decision making. We are in January. It may take a miracle run for him to come back but the admin created these conditions where fans are now asking about the legitimacy of rooting for IU to lose in the short term if it means long term benefit. 

To which I say BURN IT DOWN. BURN IT TO THE GROUND. Whatever it takes to rid us of this lazy, arrogant, unqualified and incompetent "coach".

That's the truth. Hendricks and Hancock counties are the DMZ.

…..well I love and respect both HSH and BTB as well as their posters with creditable intel. He was throwing one of them under the bus. At least, that’s the way I took/read it.

1. I told some people yesterday that I would be more positive so I'm doing that

2. I just wanted to feel what it is like to be Hornsby for a few minutes.

Barring a final four run I think he's gone at the end of the season. I think he knows that and so do the players. 

To be me it's just look at the last 25 years and ask yourself just what makes you think our incompetent administration will finally make the right move? They brought him back this year and gave him more money. I'm sorry but it'd hard to have any faith in them. They haven't proved they are capable of being competent until I can see them be competent.

I forgot my password on here and couldn't get signed back in so I just changed the user name. I was on Peegs around 96 or 97 and someone over there threatened to to come and keep all me. I brought up that maybe it was time to move on from RMK and a guy named Gorkjo wasn't happy with me.

It is more of making fun of the fans who take everything they say as gospel and just freak out when things don't happen

Maybe because the administration we have now isn't the same administration that we had 25 years ago

I didnt have IUScott and Gojko on my bingo card today. Im having flashbacks of refreshing the screen at Peegs waiting to hear who Jason Collier announced at his news conference. LOL

I started there about the time we were recruiting Goerge Leach and Jeff Newton

No but it’s the same administration that hired Woodson, raised his salary $1 million/year, and then brought him back for a fourth season.

Looks like IU is raising prices for football season tickets.. got to pay for that Brad Stevens contract eh?  :)

I'm up here in the region and they consider anything south of 30 "southern Indiana".

He said he wasn't born for the last Knight championship so he could be born 88 or after. He could be Jordy Hulls for all I know. He said he was going to report me to the big guy later today. He now says I post on here and Peegs. I haven't posted on Peegs in 16 years. Tyme and I shared some DM's and are friends now. I don't think Tyme and NGW are the same person. Tyme said he went to IU in the early 90's and that we have met before. Much nicer than NGW. 

Trying to get caught up after too much work the last couple days, and this has to be the biggest news to drop in the FMW thread since Bruce Pearl was flirting with us last spring!

I hear you but just discounting Crean is way, way off imo. Just ignoring that he took a complete dumpster fire (which was courtesy of the administration), zero scholarship players and baseball walkons, to multiple SW16’s, B1G championships and some of our all time favorite IU players, is just wrong imo.  
Have said it before but besides the disastrous handling of Sampsongate, the real failures within that 25-year period are CAM and Woodson. We were on track to getting “back” under Crean, with the right hire after him, but the Admin blew it. In fairness it/they did make the right choice to move on quickly from CAM - that itself wasn’t wrong / but utterly blew it with the stupid cadre of current trustees in going with Woodson. He never should have been on the short list.

In general, the more we win, the chances of Woody leaving after this season decrease.

So, I get some folks want IU to keep winning games, and that's fine I get it, but it does create more risk with our coaching situation next year.

Looking back on last year, we had a late season five game winning streak.  Most fans generally liked the run, though we still missed the tourney by a mile, making those wins fairly meaningless.  But, that five game run may have kept Woody around another year.  If he lost most of those games he might be gone.  We'll never know.

Top-5 finish in the B1G this year and win a tournament game... even with a more powerful Dolson it's not a certainty he's gone.  After all, "It's Indiana."

Is Indiana University going to fire a black coach who just finished top 5 in the league and made the NCAA tournament 3 out of 4 years?  I think you’re insane if you think so.

Now it’s possible he’s just really tired of it all and will retire.  I just can’t see his ego allowing it even if he was tired of it all.  That would give us non true fans the win and he can’t do that.

He gets paid millions of dollars to barely work and have his ego stroked every day. Zero chance he voluntarily gives that up.
