Life’s too short to spend it watching awful basketball. I’ve been waiting for the bad times to end for about my whole life. 

Are you old enough to remember the Mike Davis final four run?

For me?

Anyone that is rooting for Maryland this weekend so that fans boo and Woodson gets fired can kiss my a$$.

The IU powers that be are well aware we need a new coach. But never root against IU.

Rooting for a loss is rooting for the IU basketball program. The IU powers that be have done absolutely nothing to show they’ll make a move if their hand isn’t forced. Wins do nothing at this point but increase the likelihood of a fifth Mike Woodson season. 

Even though apathy maybe starting to set in, I still can’t root for them to loose!  I just going to watch the game with less emotion than I usually watch.  I’m with Stuhoo on this one!

No, he’s almost 8, he was born in 2017, lol. ;)

Unfortunately no. My first real IUBB memories were from the Sampson era.

Purdue was beating the brakes off Michigan, I really fear what they'll do to us. And there is always the possibility the new governor reappoints Buckner who in turn keeps Woody and the old guard right where they are. Nothing is concrete and it's all possible.

You’ve been hanging out with Hornby!  I get it though, I think deep down we wonder if the administration will actually let him go because there are too many influences involved

That’s too bad, that team with Coverdale et al was a lot of fun to watch

That Eric Gordon year was special until it wasn't.  The beginning of the zeller sophomore year was the last time I felt like I did with IU basketball since the final four run. Unfortunately that year started off with the crossroads loss to Butler and we just never lived up to expectations! People were talking undefeated before that season and I just knew there was mo living up to that, and then that haunted 2-3 zone found us in the sweet 16.

God bless you brother! I know what keeps us old dogs coming back, but you younger fans? I have no idea why you stick around!

There never really had to be any bad times but it's all self inflicted by god awful hiring decisions. Good coaches would have taken this job.

We had a good coach, who did misdemeanor $hit that isn't even against the law anymore! We were playing some damn good basketball the year he got relieved off his duties!

And before anyone jumps on about the characters on that team, I get it. His teams since have been decent character wise.

I also think Beard has changed too. Maybe he can rise from the ashes here like Sampson has at Houston!

I was born in 87 so I got to watch RMK growing up and after what my dad taught me about his coaching style and his success I studied him. I'm a firm believer in prepare and practice until it becomes 2nd nature and automatic. 10,000 thoughtful focused reps to mastery and absolutely no half a$$ing. Earn your spot.

I truly believe that the will to prepare to win is gone in this program! 

Kind of how the 3rd generation F&$%s up a family business!

Absolutely and if you don't have that mindset to do your prep work long before you start handling your business you're all but guaranteed to fail.

Also, with RMK, you didn't just go through the motions! Everything you did was with a purpose and you were stronger as a whole than as an individual!
