I get tired of media saying we were all excited with the Woody hire when it happened . The only reason most of us warmed up to the thought of it was because we had Matta and Fife on board. Woody was my least favorite of the bunch. 

Couldn't have said it any better!!

I’m kinda at this too. Also if IU basketball hits the drain then Quinn will be gone by the time it needs fixed and won’t be his problem. Also my new fear is IU is dreadful next year and they give Woody a 5th year to “pick up the mess.” 

Pick up the mess...that HE CREATED!?! 

 

I can deal with a 4th year (I don't want it) but I know that the 4th will be bad and a 5th wouldn't be coming.   God I hope...just end it now here in a few weeks.

I doubt QB has watched a game all year, I may be wrong 

Well, he stays pretty busy as the color commentator for the Pacers. He'd record the games to watch later, but his Betamax just keeps blinking 12:00 at him.

Your last name is Cowan?  We lived in Corinth Acres addition and there were some Cowan’s that lived in our addition, I think they were Dave and Tammy.

Sounds like a freaking mess!  They can’t let Dolson do his job because of interference.  Why can’t the President step in and overrule Buckner?  Buckner needs to stay in his lane!

Did you know any Small’s that went to Union?

[Hornsby]

I think this goes without saying, but our fan base (myself included) are a mess 
 
$$$ and politics rearing their ugly heads in this situation...don't want to wish time away, but man, this is going to be a long, weird 14 day or so stretch...
 
I've stated before...it's 2024...not the time or generation to "wait around and see"

Not so sure we can recover after another year of Woodson. The time for change is now but for whatever reason somebody always stands in the way of iu making a good hire. Really getting hard to even care anymore.

Buckner is gone after next year.

True, Buckner may be gone after next year… but the decisions and heavy-handed tactics that he is currently employing to keep Woodson as the coach will have far reaching effects on the program. Another year of this crapfest only pushes the program farther down into the abyss of mediocrity and irrelevance.

 

When Woodson is finally relieved of his duties as coach, the recruiting pipeline will be completely dried up, and no one - players or coaches will be interested in Indiana. And the fan base will be fractured. The program is currently the laughingstock of the B1G, and it’s only going to get worse.

Let it be known that the portal isn’t a guarantee. Easily could be IU next year where WVU and Georgetown are at

Woodson couldn’t fill a couple of holes during last portal season to field a decent team. Idk how anyone in their right mind thinks he’ll be able to successfully put together an entirely new team this portal season. 

[Sardinefarts1991]

I've always really liked listening to Quinn when I watch the pacers.  Absolutely love his commentary, him and that Jeremiah Johnson are top knotch IMO.

 

It's incredibly sad to see Quinn is involved in this coaching situation.  He really needs to just...back off.

…and then he’ll try to use the excuse of “well we’re a new team so it’s gonna take us until March to get to know each other..”

Another day closer to Woodson retiring. We need Minnesota to win tomorrow badly.

Because the president also serves at the pleasure of the BoT.

If Buckner won't even talk about it, that tells me he knows that keeping him is the wrong move. Maybe when more than half our roster is in the portal in a couple weeks he'll finally start to see the light. 

Besides wanting to make sure his friend gets a chance to make a positive change IU desperately needs, he could seriously be waiting for his term to end in '25, so he doesn't have to fire him.....jmo

Linear = Boring. Embrace the rollercoaster. Gotta roll with the punches!

I think a lot is riding on tomorrow night. Just spent two hours in a meeting with a VP and all I could think about was how do we get rid of Woodson. 

[IUrocker]

If the players really do want to leave if Woodson comes back then just do us and yourselves a favor and lose out guys lol

We notice you were gone. If you could please ask next time you plan to take 2 hours off of this board, it would be greatly appreciated.
