Muddy River

But he’s too small for the B1G. He won’t be able to get his shot off. and my personal favorite, 3 star guards grow on trees in Indiana. That kid has stones. I’ll be rooting for him going forward. Someone will offer him big NIL $$$$ next year.

Can you imagine this board if CMW had offered a 6’ 1” 3 star guard out of DC??

Boy, if Mile was still here he’d be all over this…

But he’s got a Super Bowl ring…. in all seriousness, he has a charisma about him that should lend itself very well to recruiting. He’s also spent his entire adult life in football, so I’m sure he does know some guys to bring with him. I’m not against him being a plan B, but knowing he more than likely wouldn’t take modest success and try to flip it for better opportunity is a big selling point.

Actually I would prefer their stuff already be boxed up and on the sidewalk by the time they get to Bloomington.

Unprepared > Undisciplined > Uninterested > Unemployed…..

Every IU coach should spend tomorrow packing up their offices.

Even when Purdue is bad, we find a way to be worse.

Inexcusable

How kids on scholarship can be so bad at tackling, the most fundamental aspect of defense, is baffling to me.

That would be really funny if it didn’t so closely represent the history of IU football.

Bad tackling and turnovers….good thing those don’t usually cost you games…..

Someone educate me. Is “over the back” not a thing anymore?

Agreed, and he should get credit for it. However it amazes me how some people would rather twist things to make themselves look right as opposed to recognizing progress and celebrating wins.

So, if he defers to someone in the future and we lose the game, does he get a pass?

Question for the board. And I’m not asking to be argumentative, I sincerely want to know. Why is this a poorly constructed roster? To my uneducated eyes, we have an NBA talent center in Ware. We have Mack (MCD AA) , Malik, Kaleb, Peyton (All MAC), and Walker at forward. Then there is X, Gallo, Gunn, Newton, and Cupps at guard. That’s 11 guys who should play minutes. A 11 man rotation would be pretty deep. As for shooters, there should be improvement in Gallo and Gunn, Mack was supposed to be one of the better shooters in the class, and Cupps had the stones to challenge LeBron to a shooting contest, and hung in. So I can understand an argument that there hasn’t been enough development, and that maybe some of the guys have not lived up to the hype, and that can be on the coaches. Some in game coaching has been questionable, but how is the roster poorly constructed?

Six weeks ago we were going to be a solid 10 deep rotation. Today we are poorly constructed? How did that happen? We all agree we desperately needed shooters after last year, but isn’t that what MM and Cupps were supposed to be? Today I understand what the Duck fans were saying about Ware. I did however think Gunn logged some very solid defensive minutes and the shots he took were within the flow of the game. I really do think those will start to fall.

Reading through this thread, it seems many of us have similar experiences. My guess is that many of us are similar in age, and our fathers were from the same generation as coach. They came from a time when men were hard, and love was tough, and I mean both of those things with the highest respect. They came from a time when doing what needed to be done took precedence over doing what felt good, when trophies were reserved for winners, not participants. Like my own father, Coach taught that simply wanting something was not enough, that you had to earn it, because there was no value in something given, but there was immense value and pride in something earned. I’ll shed some tears today, some for my dad, and some for coach, but most of the tears I shed today will be for the people who never had a man like them in their lives.

I get that, but it seems that with the advent of social media, this generation wants every aspect of their lives broadcast for public consumption, maybe this is an opportunity to teach a larger lesson. Also, anyone know if there are behavior clauses in NIL deals?

So, wait, Purdue is now giving rings for losses to Indiana?? That’s sad……

So none of the 4 best teams in baseball made the LCS. The bye in the MLB playoffs has become the kiss of death. Expanding the playoffs has rendered the 162 game season irrelevant.

Meanwhile in West Lafayette……

Maybe he doesn’t qualify as volume, but Olidipo went from a 21% 3pt shoooter to a 44% 3pt shooter in one year.

The guy that drew “Garfield” is like 9 spots ahead of Calbert ….

I heard that if coach Woodson had scheduled his surgery better, Boobie would have been on campus in Bloomington that weekend instead of that other prestigious university. He’d still be alive today. Coach Woodson has blood on his hands…..and his knee.
