I'll take one for the team and go ahead and start this. Happy Thanksgiving my friends I'm grateful for all of you. 

[Josh]

It was nice of Woody to become the world's biggest Thanksgiving turkey yesterday

Sorry Olivia, I had to edit your post cuz the biggest rule in starting a game thread is to get the opponent right.

Speaking of, somehow the Zags are only a 9.5 point favorite.

Oops too much on my mind.

And it's Gallo's 23rd birthday. 

So he's gotta have a good game, right? Right? ... Aw hell -- he'll probably just be hung over.

A real coach would make some real changes. That would start and be identified by the starting lineup. Do we see any changes today?

Will the guys play smart? Nah
Will the guys play together? Nah
Will the guys defend their own man? Nah
Will we stop the midrange madness? Nah
Will we get cooked like a Thanksgiving turkey? Likely.

Seems low. Best you could say is we’re comparatively rested while they just came off a overtime slug fest and maybe not motivated to play for 3rd place.

 

otoh, marquee ooc opponents who can run and put up points have pretty much ate the lunch of Woodys IU teams .

Zags only 9.5 pt favorites. There is an old saying amongst us degenerate gamblers, “when vegas is begging you to take something, don’t!”

Today I’m throwing that old adage in the dumpster and hammering that line. We stink.

Hell, I might even tease that up to about 20

Make IU Great Again

Who will Make IU Great Again?

What will Make IU Great Again?

When will IU Be Great Again?

Where will IU Be Great Again?
 

Once Blue blood morphed into Bad blood.

At least show up today and make a game out of it…..

Salvage a long cold losing season for us fans. 
PLUHEEZZEE!

[OKHOOSIER]

Was curious so I looked it up. Mark Few hasn’t lost back to back games in 10 years. So that’s good or whatever. I’ll leave it on in the background while I’m cooking and listen to my mother in law yell at the tv to know what’s happening. Happy thanksgiving y’all.

Degenerates unite! I’m laying the 9.5 points

[Banksyrules]

Knowing how bad our team stinks will make us Billionaires!!!!

[Jeff Flabjohns]

Applaud those of you tuning in. I’ll check the score around halftime

Izzo switched it up yesterday and had Fidler come off the bench vs UNC. Think we see any changes today? lol

Damn you. I saw that line and audibly laughed while saying…nope, not touching that one. I’ve now also tossed that theory in the bin and have heavily touched this line.

He better have a good game or it'll be my lawyer this team hears from.

Thinking Woodson tanked yesterday to get a good return on the Hoosiers moneyline bet today! Put ten on iu to win and we may have a happy Thanksgiving! A win will be great also

Mark it…Armond Hill’s going to step in today and really maximize the  ‘strategic direction’  he is charged with  bringing to the team. It’s been his role since day 1 - to advise Woody on strategy…he’s just been holding back 3.5 yrs for the right moment - and that day is today!!! Put the mortgage on +9.5. Or perhaps that’s the line on how many times his eyes close over 15 secs during the game.  Turkey consumption prior to tipoff certainly will impact the line — Armond warms up to that tryptophan like butter melts in a hot pan!!

Hill was 72-141 as a coach, if anyone makes Woodson look like a savant it's him. Maybe that's why he was hired, to make Woodson look like a genius.

Are we headed for a participation trophy?
