The burner is someone young they clearly don’t have a lot of sense to them.

Miller Kopp?

I fear this is just scratching the surface. 

I’m legitimately hoping he doesn’t get pelted with water bottle caps or something lol.

How about empty boxes of Just For Men?

The condescending burner brigade did not exist in this form during the Crean and Archie years in my experience… that seems to be a Woodson era cornerstone. Maybe my least favorite part of his tenure and that’s saying something. Hope they go away when he’s gone. Fanbase is in shambles… program is in infinitely worse shape than the record indicates. The burners are pouring gasoline on a fire and will contribute to a more toxic atmosphere at home this year.

Our next coaching staff not only needs to be good at analytics, they need to have a firm grasp on how social media works and how it will be utilized by everyone in the entire program. Even during Woodson's best season, we had TJD and Race arguing with fans on Twitter after games. A competent coach would have shut that sh*t down right away. Probably just one of many things Woodson doesn't understand about today's game.

Part of this talks about Woodson and the students booing, basically he wants Woodson to stay because the students have gotten their way too many times. Here's a thought, IU gives a crap about bad basketball before it reaches that point and moves on when they should.

It's paywalled... but it's Doyle, so I pretty much can guess what is says...

Yes! We’re two weeks ago from a coach sleeping with a cheerleader at this rate!

And I don't drink. Haven't for 10 years so multiple tenures of bad coaching with nothing to help me through it LOL

Likewise... been alcohol free for over 40 years... but I have BTB to get me through the Woodson era.

Scott should step in and shut down these burner idiots and/or their sources.  I bet he could find out who is doing this, there are only so many possible people.  Their garbage posts are bad for the program.

He’s obviously talking about Robby Blaser. Look at that hat. That’s a person with some authority.

Ryan Day had fans telling him that they wished he would be like his dad and commit suicide…… DURING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON!!!
 

I am so sick and tired of the softness/weakness in the program. 
 

and no… I don’t condone death threats. But everyone knows there’s a 0% chance that any of these threats are credible. 
 

this is just another PATHETIC attempt to assassinate the character of the fans that are against Woody. Gotta fire up the narrative. It’s our fault he can’t win. 
 

At this point I can comfortably say that I prefer Archie to Woody

A meeting with the AD about bad fan behavior is almost comical. Just pack it in already.

It’s going to be extremely hard for me to not be in the gym for the Michigan game. I don’t boo, won’t be a part of the “mob”, but that’s going to be a spectacle. Call it morbid curiosity. 

Yep... like "driving past a wreck and can't look away" curious.

Wow, what the h*ll did I miss?  Burners?  Death threats?  Idiots?  Pelting Woodson with stuff?   WTF?

I said before and I say it again, Woodson isn’t going away quietly in the night, he will be leaving kicking and screaming while putting our basketball program in shambles and making us even more of a laughing stock than we were.  He’s going to try to make it where no good coach wants to come here and this is coming from a man who said he loves this university and wants them to win B10 and National Championships!  Someone talks with a fork tongue.

and the worse part is that they seem to think that they are actually helping Woodson retain his job...

[OKHOOSIER]

The problem I have with the most recent gaslight attempt by Team Shill is that there is zero chance this is a recent development. He either has been getting threats to his person for a minute, or he has not gotten them at all. If he had gotten credible (or not credible) threats last year they would have been screeching about it and pointing at the fanbase within microseconds of it occurring. He didn't just start to suck. Fans willing to do that kind of thing did not just become unhinged. 

Nothing about the burner history says they would have kept that close to the vest if it had happened. Which makes me take the current accusation with a giant grain of salt. 

And even though I should not have to qualify it:

At no time is it appropriate for this kind of behavior, and credible threats should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The threats, if true, are sick... but it's even worse to concoct the story to garner some sympathy for the Little Ego that Can't.

Don't think that's a possibility.  Don't we have something about freedom of speech in our Constitution?  Nothing prevents any one of us from creating a burner and start posting innuendo filled crap on a PUke board.  Way of the world today.

Woodson is represented by Creative Arts Association.  They will do their best to protect him.  CAA will make sure that other of their clients in basketball and broadcasting come to Woodson's defense.  I wouldn't be surprised if these "threats" are plants trying to distract from Woodson underperforming with good rosters 4 years straight.
