Coaches taking to twitter to brag about beating out MAC schools for the 21st ranked player in the state is wild. What a day to be a Hoosier, indeed. 
edit: if it’s referring to Parker, guess I just have to hope that’s a coincidence 

Yeah my bad.  They acted like they had just landed an elite recruit.

Pretty sure we got the right president in place now.  Dolson has one more swing before he's out.  

But yeah, we literally had a goofy kangaroo running/ruining the place.

Disagree.  She nuked any possibility of Fitzgerald being hired.  They are still concerned about having some squeaky clean image while the rest of the country laughs at us.

The Revenge of the Nerds has been taking place inside the ivory tower for 25 years now.  That's what is going on.  Until the administration is run out of Indiana and replaced with a competent one nothing will improve.

too good to be true for it to be the 5 star QB. right? 

Coach Cig gets who Coach Cig wants.

👀

If Lewis committed I'll probably have to take up smoking.

Anyone but "yes man" Dolson.  Anyone but a Woodson.  I hate to say it but I told you.  I was right about Crean and right about Archie.  I've given solutions every time.  No one listens.

Beard, Pearl, Drew, and Marshall and the solutions right now.  There's your answer Scott.

FAU wins again.  Looks like their top 3 players are juniors so I guess they could come here next season.  There's your instant fix Scott.

This gonna get ugly. Hoosiers are only 40 years into the 100 year curse like the cubs went into. Sad to say, but the wheels totally come off now. I'm so sad that I have to admit this. Tragically pathetic. Sorry guys. I'm 100% sunshine, but the sun done setted on this program.

And Dusty would be a total fool to even accept a phone call. We have gremlins thanks to Myles Brandt. Pour out some piss on his grave !   

Dusty would take the job in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately Dusty wont get a chance. Even though he has figured out how to win with less and coach K has vouched for him as being one of the best in the game. As much as I could get behind him after watching some of his interviews, IU needs an elite proven performer. The fans are restless. Recruits and transfers want stability and proof that their time wont be a wasted mess that will lead to them transferring or missing their chance at the next level. But, who knows what is to come and when.

As for the op, I want action and less excuses. I want to see a change for the better.

Woodson took us back to the Tournament for the first time in four tries, then and followed it up with an encore that earned a 4-seed, our best in ten years. Not a chance you fire that guy after one bad season in year three. Good grief.

Regardless of how you think it will go, Woodson has earned some runway to get things back on track.

Was 100% Trayce Jackson Davis.  Woody was hired on 3rd and you think he hit a triple.

Everyone can see it’s not working. Once it’s starts to affect recruiting, it’s completely over.

People all over Twitter are starting to crack.  Will get extremely ugly next season if Dolson allows Woody to return.  Let's pray they aren't that incompetent.

😆

My nephew(15) is going to the Bills game tonight.  I'll try and get some pics.  

Hope he brought a shovel.

😂

KSU has to be the worst 3 point shooting team I've ever seen.  I can shoot better blind folded.

Let's SendHimOff.  Will be a challenge.  We have much more talent but Senderoff has probably forgotten more about college basketball than Woody will ever know.

Woodson's support was a mile wide, but only an inch deep. For most of the fan base, it was a meh hire. Any team would be affected by the injuries that this team has experienced. However, if the team was executing well, but just outmatched on personnel, that would be one thing. But even Woodson said the players look lost. 

I watched part of the MSU/WI game with Wisky playing without Wahl (pretty much the equivalent if TJD was out as far as importance to their team). MSU won a close game. But it was a close, hard fought game. WI was connected on defense, but MSU made shots and plays down the stretch. I think a lot of fans could live with that, given the injuries. 

You kind of hit the nail on the head.  The problem is that every hire has been a meh hire for most of the fan base.  I was listening to Jay Williams on ESPN the day after Woody was hired (his wife is an IU grad).  He was talking about his in laws and how disappointed they were in the hire.  That's always been the problem.  The administration never gives the fans what they want and therefore you have half the fan base rooting for losses to pile up in order to speed up the firing process before the hire has even coached his first game.  It will continue until the fans get what they want.  And I'm not talking Stevens or Donovan although they would obviously be great but won't happen.

For those pointing to the loss of Fife possibly being the problem, I'd note that this same core group was below .500 in conference last year, and were getting blown off the court against Michigan in the BTT through the first half, and then the light went on for a few games. There were certainly positives to last year, but it easily could have been a situation where we were sitting home for the tournament after a bad loss to UM to finish the season ... and, let's face it, even with the short rest and whatever, the St. Mary's loss wasn't pretty.

I have no idea what needs to change, but it's getting really old watching a program that consistently has more talent on the court getting completely waxed by average teams. 

Well last season we were literally in every single game if I remember correctly with the exception of UM at home who we later beat and St Mary's. We're getting consistently blown out this season with much more talent.

A big part of the Hoosier fan-base always took comfort in the idea that we would return to our rightful position in college basketball if we just had an IU guy. If CMW doesn't turn this around what is left?.......I guess bring in Alford to kill off any lingering hope in the few stragglers. 

I've never thought it had to be an IU guy but if all the big fish say no again an Alford/Fife combo would be lightyears ahead of what we have now.  At least Steve and Dane know the college game as well as anyone and Steve has the personality to placate our crazy fanbase.

Woody said in one of his early pressers (maybe even the first one where he was announced as coach) that if he couldn't get it done, he's resign, and not wait to be fired.

Guess we'll see how honorable he really is.

If he does...I know a guy 😍

Question is, with Woody being that “IU guy”, how difficult is it going to be to actually get rid of him if things really do spiral out of control? Like I saw someone post above, I wonder if he’d just resign himself if he didn’t think he was getting it done. Will Dolson actually do something? Will someone above Dolson do something about it if he doesn’t?  I hope to turn this around and sucks thinking like this after just a few losses, but it’s the WAY WE LOSE that makes it seem like it’s something that can’t get fixed with what we have. I feel like I’m overreacting yet not at all at the same time. 

Probably have to get rid of Buckner first.  Dolson is an epic disaster but this clown show is mainly on Buckner.

And how’s the Italian restaurant scene in Austin these days ? 

I can see why Rick would be interested.

UT will set their sights much higher than Underwood. He might be a fallback plan. 

Dakich was saying Sampson.
