Judgement calls in life exist well outside just the legal area. I dated a girl who i knew was a Purdue fan in high school. Her whole family was a Purdue fan. She eventually went there, along with her brother and sister. I feel this has somewhat tainted my glorious life of mediocrity . What could i have accomplished without this blemish on my soul. Forgive me. Edited April 4, 2022 by IowaHoosierFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Some people who were there are saying another car with a gun was at a stoplight next to X's car, there were some words exchanged or something like that. I'm not sure this is solely a Mike Woodson decision,....this might be a Scott Dolson, President Whitten, and Woodson decision. We've had some football players make some really bad decisions lately, beating up girlfriend, having pot in the car, and running from the police, none of them were dismissed." By the end of the day, X will be accused of microwaving kittens and being the Zodiac killer. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of time and things coach and IU can ask him to do that will be a lot harder than just being suspended for a few games. Suspension would be easy. Instead as so many have suggested let’s get him in front of kids and have him talk about what he did and why it was so dumb. Have him earn his time back on the practice court and for games doing community service. Have him meet with families that have lost loved ones in major accidents that could have been avoided. So many harder things can be done here that should make XJ better for it. I agree with most of this actually. I'm just pretty annoyed all the morally righteous people who blanketly accepted a suspension over a curfew are now finding ways to defend X and treat this as something to work through and fix. You aren't doing that, of course. I'm not saying its you. But it feels like a lot of people were very happy with the precedent we set on breaking rules a couple months ago. Now that a felony is on the table and we could lose (and should lose, based on our own 'standards' we proudly demonstrated in the year) a key player for next year it seems like the righteousness has faded a little bit. Almost like we should never pretend to have this morality about college sports in the first place.

And if I remember right refused to return to Puerto Rico for the trial. It has been a long time so not sure about all of it. He broke the law and had other incidents, so I guess in the eyes of some on here he should have been fired way before he was. Also Mark Few probably should have been fired also shouldn't he?

HoosierMama Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 For those wondering what DD is saying on his show (and let me preface I don't usually listen but sometimes curiosity gets the best of me...) Says you have to weigh X's talent and what he brings to the team vs the problems. Also said it's easier to kick someone off the team than to keep them and help them -- said he didn't know all of this history so didn't say one way or another if he thought X should stay or go but I thought he seems to lean more toward helping him and keeping him on team. He did say he thinks IU has a chance to be a Big Ten favorite next year depending on who all ends up staying and going and that should factor in. If anyone else took something different away feel free to correct me. I'm trying to work and listen which doesn't always go well. 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get out in front of this and say that I am not Dan Dakich....but that is basically my take. If we have a chance to challenge for the BIG next year if he stays, then you take the risk. If we don't, then you part ways. All business now folks. The star quarterback gets do overs until you cannot let him anymore. The third string lineman gets sent packing. Those are the breaks in the sports business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyhoosier29 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Somebody please let me know when we’ve moved on to a different off-season topic. 🤣 XJ obviously has judgment issues from time to time. I don’t know the whole story. I’m assuming Woody does and I’ll trust Woody to be a role model / father figure and handle it appropriately. I will say that I hope his punishment is a true wake-up call seeing this isn’t his first transgression. And I’ll trust Woody on that. If he truly endangered lives with this act and doesn’t get booted he needs to consider himself lucky. I don’t know him as a person so I can’t comment on that at all. But I will say that one kind act of visiting a school doesn’t make him a great person, just as one poor decision doesn’t make him a bad person. I’m not sure what his life “scorecard” is, but I hope he starts making better decisions as we need him on this team. And I’m certainly okay giving him another chance because I’m worn out with IU acting holier than thou on everything. Nobody else cares about that, so maybe we need to loosen up a bit. Not win at all cost, but play the game everybody else does. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
