IU has the exact same record as last year at this point in the season: 14-9. All the NIL money and offseason chest thumping to end up in the exact same place. 

Yes, but we've had injuries again.  If only our players could stay healthy.  This is all on Tim Garl and not Mike Woodson.

Long time follower first time caller…. Hear me out. Woodson gets fired, May/Michigan players get tons of questions about May leaving for IU, fans go crazy during the game chanting We want Dusty, distracting Michigan even more, and boom we have a great quad 1 win and are actually excited we won because we don’t have to worry about it saving Woodson’s job!!!

Welcome aboard!  It could happen but highly unlikely because our players have the attention span of a squirrel because they aren’t coached!

Glad you dumped that lurker status and decided to chime right in.  Hope to see you as a regular poster.   

PS:  I'm a big fan of long user names.   lol

Woodson doesn't get up until 9am.  Then an hour of Sportscenter.  After that he showers and applies his Just for Men on his beard.  Then there's the stop at Starbuck's and he rolls into the office around 11:30. 

Scott Dolson will have to visit Mike's office at noon to deliver the news.  

Because if your going to fire Mike Woodson, you go to Mike Woodson.

Woodson deserves every boo he’s going to get at the Michigan game. He shouldn’t get the option of the “retirement” cop out. He halfa**ed his entire tenure and then launched a smear campaign against the fan base. Make him finish the season out. 

It wasn’t even halfa**ed, it was about a quartera**ed!  You are giving him way too much credit!

I keep hoping for the day (real soon) that one of our posters that has connections come on this board and say, "It's happening!". I sure hope it doesn't take us 2500 pages.

Woodson doesn't deserve to finish the year, didn't deserve to start the year, didn't deserve to be hired.

Doesn't deserve a save face retirement. They made the mistake of hiring him, they deserve the black eye of having to fire him.

True that he did not deserve to be hired, to be retained or to finish the season... but on the other hand, this is 100% his crapfest and at this point, he needs to own it to the bitter end. No sympathy. No soft-pedaling it. Burn it down. TO. THE. GROUND.

Taking bets on how many pages we get to before there is official word on Woody being terminated....

I am going to say we hit 2600 before word comes in....

Never thought I’d get here, but I’m on the Beard train. 
 

Only way for it to happen is for Whitten to get out in front and be the one to sell it publicly. Will be plenty of naysayers…until he starts winning. 
 

Big Red can sponsor the post-game show.

This is how bad decisions get made. The program sucks in its current state, and the fans are so desperate to get away from the epic crapshow that they would be willing to take jumps to places that they would never go if they were allowed to fully contemplate their actions.

When one is in the level of pain (emotional or spiritual) this great, they will grab an anything within reach to alleviate said pain. 

Chris Beard is not the answer.

looks like more boos at the hall come Saturday IF he is still the HC come then..................................................................

Really, like Bob Knight errrrr how does this work? Chris Beard would most likely work very well here. Not sure if you're saying he isn't the answer because of his ability or his baggage. I can understand the latter albeit begrudgingly

Ben Mcollum....this is the way........

The Beard discussion has happened many times on this board, including in this thread, so there's no reason to rehash that.

How I see the season playing out. What say you?

I knew someone would catch that.....lol That's why I constructed the sentence with "for work" instead of walking into Assembly Hall our OFFICES  to  work   POST. lol 

That just insinuantes that he is doing work....lol

That's more than half this board right now.  We walk into work just to post on this thread LOL.  We sure in the hell aren't getting much work done...just ask our bosses :) .  I'm sure once Woody is gone production will pickup is just another reason to boot him.

My fond memories of Mike Woodson the player are gone.  They have now been overshadowed by Mike Woodson the unqualified coach that used his connections to get the IU coaching job.  Woodson has turned this IU alum and lifelong IU fan indifferent about IU basketball until he's gone and someone new can provide hope. I still care that's why I'm here.  But right now, the only interest I have in this team is getting a new coach and culture.
