  1. Just more piling on, if you ask me... If someone can produce a link to a solid source I might buy it...
  2. I just hope Coach Woodson does not overlook Galloway and Leal...Neither really stood out last year, but, like Woody himself, they WANT to be at IU. Just like Woody IU is THEIR school...I hope he sees how much wearing that Indiana uniform means to them...They didn't care who was named the coach, they were staying regardless... While they have modest talent, they're the kinds of kids we need for leadership and cohesiveness...
  3. I guess that intro was made to appease the viewers on acid...
  4. Some yes...But it was over the top in my opinion...And to gloss it over now, is indeed hypocritical... I've always thought it was sportswriters revenge... The pen IS mightier than the sword...
  5. Good point. That's something I never thought of. It had to be difficult for our players to get reamed out by someone who's shorter and looks as young as they do...
  6. 19 offensive rebounds leads to a whopping 15 more shots for Houston...
  7. They did, but them saying anything positive about the hire and Coach Knight, which they did, is hypocritical after the hatchet job they, along with every other media person, did on RMK in 2000... I have a long memory...
  8. Oh, I know...Like I said, I lived across the street from a fanatical Hawkeye when I was up in Chicagoland... But I knew the family long ago, and I'd never say a bad word against his father, Sam...One of the finest men I've ever known...
  9. I honestly think that's a little family jealousy showing through... Buckner was always Knight's favorite, and everybody knew it...IU has not had a leader like QB before or since... But Alford came awfully close... Of course, it could be that like many people who post here say, and Steve has turned into a major league a-hole...I wouldn't know...Last time I talked to him he was like 8 years old, and he was ok then
  10. We've had the foundation, but the house was burned to the ground in 2000...We've tried to piece it back together with spit, duct tape, and bailing wire ever since...
  11. Hopefully we'll see Coach Knight at more games next season...
  12. "The Flynn Effect"... When did you have time to come up with that theory?
  13. Yeah, and that's what spurred Dakich's "Mommies" rant...Totally unnecessary to degrade a kid or his parents like that...
  14. Might have been on some other media platform, but apparently Anthony put something out endorsing the hire...And since he's not in Dakich's fantasy Bob Knight fraternity Dakich took a shot at him, basically saying he doesn't have any idea what he's in for, and to be careful what you wish for... I wish I would have stopped listening after the Woodson interview, because now I'm pissed...Or maybe the meds just kicked in...
  15. Exactly...The Indiana media is nothing like NYC...Those guys are vicious...
  16. He didn't really say, but I think he's just going back to what Bob Knight did here, and the way he treated players and was saying "Yeah, kid, no more Romper Room at IU. Woody will lay down the law." And I do think Woody will hold people accountable, which is a good thing...But he won't be like coach Knight was...Not in today's atmosphere...That's just plain career suicide...
  17. I had to stop listening...He's just so over the top... It does our coach an our program no good to alienate people, no matter who they are, right from the get go... Woody didn't fall for any of it...I'm not saying he'll be a media darling, but he's smart enough to know how it works...
  18. Nothing really noteworthy...Woodson did say the transfer stuff is a 2 way street, and evaluations will be made... I see what you mean about Dakich though...The very guys he runs down (national sportswriters) for putting out click bait articles, he does with his mouth...And running down good kids like Anthony Leal simply because Anthony sent a tweet encouraged by the hire is being a jackass...
  19. I can palpably feel the fear in @Stlboiler23's post coming through the LCD...
  20. Listening to Dakich, and while I enjoyed the conversation with Woody, why does Dakich have to take shots at the kids' "Mommies" and Jared Jeffries? And while I know coach Knight didn't have the best relationship with the press, Dakich wants to fan those flames too for some reason...
  21. I think the only guy that was going to get big money out of IU was Brad Stevens... Beard, Musselman et al were not going to get 7-8 million per year from us, and rightfully so... And I think the whole point of this was to circle back to Bob Knight...I know there were hurt feelings and ruffled feathers on both sides for years, but lets face facts...Without Bob Knight IU is a nowhere job...We could have screamed about our 2 banners under McCracken til we were blue in the face, but Oklahoma State has 2 as well (when the were Oklahoma A&M with the great Bob Kurland and coached by one of RMK's mentors, Henry Iba)...That's what we would have been without Bob Knight...A program that had success in the early days, but just one of the crowd now... Mike Woodson is that bridge back that was burned long ago to our glorious past...Dolson did swing for the fences with Stevens, but once he found out that wasn't going anywhere, he wanted to start restoring the IU family by linking us back to the man that is the most important person in IU's basketball history... And I'm glad he did that...
  22. Sidney Lowe went from the NBA to his alma mater, NC State, without the success at the NBA level (79-228 overall) that Woodson had...He had 2 cracks at HC gigs in the NBA (Minnesota and Vancouver/Memphis) before he hired on with the Wolfpack...86-78 0verall with no NCAA tournaments in 4 seasons at the NC State helm...
  23. I hope Woody's first recruiting trip for a high school kid is Gary to see Jalen Washington...
