Ryan Day had fans telling him that they wished he would be like his dad and commit suicide…… DURING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON!!!
 

I am so sick and tired of the softness/weakness in the program. 
 

and no… I don’t condone death threats. But everyone knows there’s a 0% chance that any of these threats are credible. 
 

this is just another PATHETIC attempt to assassinate the character of the fans that are against Woody. Gotta fire up the narrative. It’s our fault he can’t win. 
 

At this point I can comfortably say that I prefer Archie to Woody

A meeting with the AD about bad fan behavior is almost comical. Just pack it in already.

It’s going to be extremely hard for me to not be in the gym for the Michigan game. I don’t boo, won’t be a part of the “mob”, but that’s going to be a spectacle. Call it morbid curiosity. 

Yep... like "driving past a wreck and can't look away" curious.

Wow, what the h*ll did I miss?  Burners?  Death threats?  Idiots?  Pelting Woodson with stuff?   WTF?

I said before and I say it again, Woodson isn’t going away quietly in the night, he will be leaving kicking and screaming while putting our basketball program in shambles and making us even more of a laughing stock than we were.  He’s going to try to make it where no good coach wants to come here and this is coming from a man who said he loves this university and wants them to win B10 and National Championships!  Someone talks with a fork tongue.

The condescending burner brigade did not exist in this form during the Crean and Archie years in my experience… that seems to be a Woodson era cornerstone. Maybe my least favorite part of his tenure and that’s saying something. Hope they go away when he’s gone. Fanbase is in shambles… program is in infinitely worse shape than the record indicates. The burners are pouring gasoline on a fire and will contribute to a more toxic atmosphere at home this year. 

and the worse part is that they seem to think that they are actually helping Woodson retain his job...

[OKHOOSIER 3,196]

The problem I have with the most recent gaslight attempt by Team Shill is that there is zero chance this is a recent development. He either has been getting threats to his person for a minute, or he has not gotten them at all. If he had gotten credible (or not credible) threats last year they would have been screeching about it and pointing at the fanbase within microseconds of it occurring. He didn't just start to suck. Fans willing to do that kind of thing did not just become unhinged. 

Nothing about the burner history says they would have kept that close to the vest if it had happened. Which makes me take the current accusation with a giant grain of salt. 

And even though I should not have to qualify it:

At no time is it appropriate for this kind of behavior, and credible threats should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The threats, if true, are sick... but it's even worse to concoct the story to garner some sympathy for the Little Ego that Can't.

Scott should step in and shut down these burner idiots and/or their sources.  I bet he could find out who is doing this, there are only so many possible people.  Their garbage posts are bad for the program.

Don't think that's a possibility.  Don't we have something about freedom of speech in our Constitution?  Nothing prevents any one of us from creating a burner and start posting innuendo filled crap on a PUke board.  Way of the world today.

Woodson is represented by Creative Arts Association.  They will do their best to protect him.  CAA will make sure that other of their clients in basketball and broadcasting come to Woodson's defense.  I wouldn't be surprised if these "threats" are plants trying to distract from Woodson underperforming with good rosters 4 years straight.

Good interview with Fife to start hour 2. You can tell Fife would love to say everything that happened while he was here but didn't do it. Loved what he said about how these players have no idea what it means to play at IU and it is heavy the coaches doesn't instill that pride

Defending free speech for burners???

Old Fart is the burner brigade confirmed. And you thought you could get away with it! 

Shut it down folks, I have solved the mystery.

I’m only talking about people in the athletic dept.  If they work for IU I’m sure rules and/or contracts can be enforced.

Miller Kopp?

I would be surprised if that were Kopp.  In previous tweets/talks where he has talked about college basketball, he's been pretty level headed.  And he's more humorous than SDB (who doesn't seem to understand humor).  Kopp took Dave Portnoy out with a single tweet.  SDB doesn't understand very simple things.

[RaceToTheTop 26,738]

My dad coached high school basketball (actually coached three different sports -- football, basketball, and golf -- think he probably put in about 80 or so seasons when they are all added together).  When he because a head varsity basketball coach, he had a father of a kid he cut who wrote a 'letter to the editor' which was (stupidly) published in the local paper.  Guy -- who was the town drunk -- said it was 'guys like (my father) who caused kids to end up in jail'.

Idiots are everywhere and are going to write ****.

I don’t know, I worked with CAA for many years and they are a bunch of woke up on 3rd and thought they slapped a triple people I’ve ever met. I can’t see any of them going to those lengths to protect someone like Mike Woodson

That's why you force him out now, prior to the search/negotiations with the next coach.  No need to wait until the end of the season when the search/transfer portal are so close.

Off topic and very nerdy, but on the note of burners/alt accounts, it's really funny to think about how many of our country's Founding Fathers were literally Anonymous Posters. Pseudonyms and the Debate over the Constitution (csac.history.wisc.edu) ...An excerpt: 

The most prolific and profound public debate in American history occurred over ratifying the Constitution in 1787–1790. Much of this debate occurred in the print media—newspapers, broadsides, and pamphlets. Thousands of anonymous essays signed with a pseudonym appeared either as a single, stand-alone essay or as part of a series. After their original printing, essays were often reprinted in other newspapers and were sometimes compiled in pamphlet anthologies with other like-minded essays. For a wider distribution, individual essays were occasionally published as a pamphlet; while broadsides (usually a single sheet of paper printed on one side) often targeted a local audience sometimes preceding an election. The longest series of newspaper essays consisted of eighty-five numbers of The Federalist written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym of “Publius.” These essays were subsequently published in a two-volume edition in March and May 1788. ... 

Furthermore, during a time when dueling was not uncommon, writers were reluctant to acknowledge their authorship of harsh or abusive rhetoric that might provoke a duel. Eleazer Oswald, the volatile printer of the Philadelphia Independent Gazetteer, regularly threatened writers and even other printers who alienated him. In January 1786, Oswald challenged fellow Philadelphia printer Mathew Carey to a duel after Carey printed a scurrilous poem written by Carey that maligned Oswald. Oswald survived the duel unscathed, but Carey suffered a serious leg wound that hobbled him for fifteen months. It was reported that a number of Philadelphia printers and authors cautiously avoided Oswald for fear of being challenged to a duel.

...

Makes me think of our Haiku for Mike Woodson.

I challenge Scott Dolson to a duel 

Hornsby challenges Scott Ferguson. 

Who wants the final boss, Quinn B himself?

That’s what many of us have been wanting, but it doesn’t seem like the administration is moving fast enough for that to happen
