VPN is down at work, and I have nothing better to do but check the internet for Indiana basketball news. I keep engaging because it's fun, and I'm probably making a bigger mess than needed. You are correct, however. Chris007, Stuhoo and coonhounds 3
Scotty R Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 38 minutes ago, KathywithaC said: Did you attend IU? I’m just curious as to when your “fandom” began, as well as your experiences in support of the program. Wasn’t sure if that began before you arrived on campus or if you simply grew up as an IU fan and have supported them in that way. I think you gave me your answer buy I wasn’t asking in an effort to “dox” you. We’re just discussing the basketball program on an Internet forum, not solving the problems of the world, so no ill-intent exists. I never attended IU Bloomington but have been a fan for over 50 years. Just because you went to IU doesn't make you a bigger fan than people who have been a fan their whole life. I really don't care what an out of state person who graduated from IU but didn't know IU basketball before they attended college.

You don’t have any inside information or more knowledge about the program than the average fan on here. Maybe if I repeat this three times, you’ll finally vanish.

Dave from Dayton Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 I'm reviewing the situation Can a person be a Hoosier fan through thick and thin? The trials and tribulations I think I have to find another college team that wins. A team that shares the ball The team refuse to fall A team that is paid to be A semi-pro T? A misery they will make of me I think I need to think it out again... (Apologies to Reviewing the Situation - Oliver, the musical.)

Ah, look who's back. Reading is a skill. Fan displeasure, i.e.; boos, at games is a part of sports. The administration is responsible if they keep Mediocre Mike around to experience it.

Scotty R Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 38 minutes ago, KathywithaC said: I can understand why so many people are infuriated by the current status of the program, but the implication from several posters is that violence could result if IU doesn’t terminate Woodson, and that’s disturbing on several levels, to say the least. Perhaps it’s just modern day fandom, but I’ve never associated it with our fans previously. How many times in the last few years have we seen violence happen at youth sporting events towards coaches, refs and fans.

Hoosier DaDa Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 3 hours ago, KathywithaC said: They aren’t “my guys” any more than they’re “your guys”. But I do understand the visceral reactions here. We haven’t had an elite program for several decades, and that’s due to a bunch of people in positions of leadership who were each convinced they knew what they were doing. Way too many cooks who can’t and couldn’t boil water. Well we have been told Woody is cooking...so there lies the problem. Apparently not one of them can boil water FML! (regards to only my Hoosier BBALL life that is). Can any of them boil an egg?

WayneFleekHoosier Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 I'd like to throw my hat in the ring. Coached 5yo's through HS for the past 15 years. I've got some old school in me and some Dakich-like toughness but have a new age softness around the edges. (A perfect mixture i'd conjecture. haha) For 3 million a year i'd live and breathe the job. I've got a keen basketball eye and can spot good and bad basketball in an instance. I'm a solution based individual and I think KathywithaC should toss my hat in the ring as potential interim candidate that would kick some arse. thebigweave, ALASKA HOOSIER, realTomCrean and 3 others 4 2

OKHOOSIER Posted January 15, 2025 Posted January 15, 2025 2 minutes ago, KathywithaC said: You’re inferring something that doesn’t exist for obvious reasons. I’m not inferring anything. You said, and I quote, “Did you attend IU” to a person on an internet forum. Which I fundamentally disagree with as standard of practice. How someone came to their fandom is of no bearing on how they express their opinions. It is no great jump to see what your line of questioning to several people was an attempt at. Now, tell me you were honestly just “curious” and not trying to condescend your superior IU credentials. For the record, I generally enjoy your inputs. This rubbed me the wrong way, and I say that as a person with two degrees from IU who did not grow up an IU fan, but came to love the university when we moved to Indiana as a child.

You inferred that my question was posed in an effort to degrade someone’s degree of support of the program. That’s where you were incorrect. Sorry if that rubbed you the wrong way, but I’m often curious about the origins of our fans.
