I’m talking about just for the rest of this season. He has experience coaching.  I actually think he could rally the troops for two months (see it all the time in sports)

I don’t care. I wouldn’t even do that 

[Hornsby 2,396]

If we lose tonight, that’s 13-5 and 4-3 in conference.  Doesn’t look like a record that gets someone fired midseason.

I don’t really care.  This season was likely a failure the minute we kept Woody.  It’s unlikely anyone on our staff could materially improve this team.

That's why Woodson scheduled all those cupcakes to take on his 6 million dollar team. Beat a bunch of nobodies your record looks pretty good. Woodson knew what he was doing

Fair. I get it.   That would be my vote, but I’m just a keyboard warrior just sitting in a cubicle.

That’s the beauty of the cupcake. Schedule a bunch of nobodies and your record still looks pretty good in mid-January. Unfortunately for Woodson, there aren’t anymore Chattanoogas or Winthrops on the schedule to squeak out 9 point wins against. 

We had four non-cupcake/non-conference games: UL, Gonzaga, Providence, and South Carolina. All are 82 or better in KenPom. We went 2-2 for those, winning the easier two of the four.

We didn't engineer our early B1G schedule, but it sure has been far easier to date than it's going to be starting tonight. Minnesota, USC, and Rutger are destined to be bottom half teams, and we've already had our one and only whack at them. So 4-2 in conference with three road games seems good, but it's more than a little deceptive to use as a projection forward.

You guys can choose to believe whatever you want about Brad, Dusty, and Bruce. The reality is that Dolson is going to do his job and if he wants someone specific he is going to do everything he can to get them (like he did with Cig)

Yea he’s not getting canned mid season. We are gonna ride this out, finish about .500 in the B1G and put this sorry chapter to bed. 
 

The we are going to shock the world and hire Brad Stevens. (Is that better guys?) I apologize for my lack of positive affirmations this morning lol

Sounds like the ship sailed on Pearl. 

May’s buyout seems like it was tailored exactly for IUs upcoming offseason.  That’s why I assume he’s one of the most realistic candidates (if not the favorite)

Which is frustrating bc there is talent on this team.  I know exhibitions don’t mean much, but they beat Tennessee on the road.  Now they’re losing by 20+ points regularly on the road to garbage teams. We suck

Skip to the 3 minute mark and listen to what they say about Bill. 

 

I had the opportunity to chat with Urban briefly at the Rose Bowl. I find it odd he would dumb it down so much given his comments privately. He doesn’t miss coaching and for the opposite reasons he shares here

Can’t wait for the ultimate gut punch when some wires are crossed and out walks Brad…Calipari.

Sam Story posted the Ken Pom projections for the next 8 games and Tyme and SDB are losing it on Twitter. In the grand scheme of things I truly believe those two hate IU basketball. You would not act that way if you really loved the university. Tyme says he played, the only team that dude played on was the YMCA team. I would almost guarantee he was picked last too.

If we go 0-fer in that stretch does Woody get dismissed?

Chris, I have a couple of questions:

1. Did Sam Story do another pre-season "report" similar to the one from a couple of years ago that was mentioned around these parts?

2. Without naming names, do you know the identity of NGW/Tyme?

I would think that would speed up his retirement. But again he thinks we will win the BTT and make a run in the NCAA. I don't think we will go 0-8 in those games though.

Didn´t ask me but I can answer

1. No, denied access unlike in year´s past

2. No

I think they will root against the next coach so they can try to prove a point to the "IU fanbase" (IU fans on X), who they despise for whatever reason.  I've even seen SDB take shots at Cig because IU fans are excited about him.  

If there are any people in the program like these two, they gotta go.

Which teams do we have the best chance at beating?  I think we will lose tonight!

Who is SDB?

No and no. 

Sam paused his email this season. Also, I don't know the identity of that person. I'm blocked by them but the new Twitter rules allow me to see their post. @Home Jersey and @RaceToTheTop I think were close to figuring NGW out before he got mad and left last season. I just know by the way he talks he never played. I've been around big-time athletes for a long time. They never mention that they played. You either know or you don't
