[kottke 896]

Think Woody comments at all? Or does he just keep his head in the sand?

At some point, you have to weigh if it's worth it or not. No one gets attacked more on here than me. I will still post and not going anywhere just will try not to share as much, don't want to spread misinformation because everyone believes everything I say like it's the gospel. Just surprised at the people who come at me anymore. It's changed in the last few months but maybe their just doing what their told. 

I don’t think anyone taking something as gospel is your fault, it’s theirs. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I appreciate every tidbit we get from you or others. It’s my own decision as the reader to make a choice whether it seems plausible. It would appear Woody has successfully divided the fan base. Mark me not a true fan I guess. Hope you stick around.

Not to get too far off topic but Cignetti has the goods. I really hope he can find some success here. Fire Mike Woodson.

I think Coach Cignetti is going to be much loved and appreciated. His team spirit will make Mike Woodson look much worse it that is even possible.

Not sure if I should share this or not but the feedback IU is getting from the portal so far, from kids who should be a layup for IU is not going well. When a player's camp tells you that you need to change your offense and pay them a lot of money to get them it's not good.

"Coach Morgan has a hell of a team"

Tbh I doubt he knows there was a women's game.

I heard CMW once bit the head off of a baby seal.

Heard he called it a walrus before doing so

No reason not to share Trillys discord he says share it as long as you point people in his direction

Yup, I believe while trying to nudge over an iceberg hump.

To me it doesn't look like what Old fart said was an attack. I think where he is coming from is "3 times" is a very specific number, while "big raise" isn't. A specific number seems like a hard fact, even if it isn't. A big raise could be 50% or double which are both less than tripling the pay. Since you do hear stuff, people take stuff that seems like fact as fact. Hell, they take stuff that is obviously opinion as fact so definitely take something that seems like a fact as a fact, even if it's you being hyperbolic.

So the fact of a big raise can quickly turn to them earning 3 times what they did, even if the big raise wasn't that much.

Especially when it’s a hometown kid?

The players aren’t dumb. We’re not the only school with money. When money is all you have to offer because you play an office straight out of 2002, it’s not going to appeal to very many kids. If you’re a talented guard do you want to come play for IU? I wouldn’t. They can get paid by someone else where they’ll be coached by a better coach, play in a fun, modern offense, and win more than they would at IU. IU only becomes appealing when the pay differential becomes big enough.

So it's basically going how many of us thought it would.

Mike Woodson is doing his job. He shouldn't have to answer questions about the women's team, and won't do it.

Think I posted in the other thread -- so far performance is underwhelming.

I love Cignetti.  It seems like he's all in for IU.   (fixed it)

[cleeter 2,713]

Yeah, I get it. I can stop posting what I hear. I don't want to spread misinformation. I understand what you guys are saying.

I prefer you keep posting what you hear. In this ever evolving world, things can change at the blink of an eye, drop of a hat, etc. You post what you hear. Whether people take as gospel on them. It’s called rumors or “what I’ve heard” Everyone thinks Trilly is gospel. He got Dusty May wrong (as did everyone) but that happens. Rabby is very careful and still gets things wrong too. It is what it is. Unless you hear it directly from the decision makers mouth, it could he wrong. Either way, I love when anyone posts what they hear. Do I put more weight into something specific posters say, yes. But will I ever hold any one accountable for saying what they are currently hearing. No. So thank you Chris and thank you to everyone who posts what they hear and everyone that keeps this board going and severely depletes my ability to ever stay on task at work. Now…back to the game.

This was probably just a typo, but I’m pretending ‘Gignetti’ is what Woodson calls him.
