I think this is all true. I also hope that when we are fortunate enough to witness the start of the next era of IUBB we’re able to do so with hope for the future rather than dancing on the grave of the past. I think our million page thread here has already done a pretty decent job of preemptively doing that.

First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great.  I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

Just a thought ... If there is any announcement forthcoming, wouldn't tomorrow be a better day?

The IU women have a home game tonight and while IU-Rutgers women doesn't move the needle for a lot of people -- I would think Dolson wouldn't want to steal their thunder. 

Yes, I realize that the Woodson retirement/departure talk permeates all IU athletics at this point -- but I still think Dolson, etc., would want to leave today's stage to the women. 

I've been wrong many a time, so I could be about this as well. Just a rando thought that struck me, however. 

In addition, the pre-game presser for home games (when Woodson does them) is normally the day before the game if I’m not mistaken.

What did they get done?

If it happens, best possible solution for everyone. I don't want an interim coach. Let him finish this season. I think most fans would get behind the team again and hope for a strong finish...if possible. 

Why not?  The sooner he’s not on the sidelines the better. I’m tired of looking at Mr. Potatohead every game.  But someone fresh out there.

I would root for the team but my opinion of Woodson would not change. Along with his buddies I still think they did tremendous damage to the program

Absolutely atrocious day to be in and out of meetings. Luckily due to PII and SSI I deal with the old work laptop has an anti shoulder surfing screen. Except it’s protecting my BTB tab instead lol 

We need you to track Jerry's flight thanks

I don't want a situation like OSU or Texas where the interim coach does a good enough of a job to stick around and get a long term contact. This usually doesn't work out. I'm hoping for a fresh start next season.
