Bushmage Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Dakich loves to be or not be a certain type of person depending on if it's convenient for him. No matter what, he will always have the moral high ground in his world and the rest of you are just wrong and irrelevant. Nevermind how many times Dan has been wrong on something and either doubles down or just ignores it completely. He likes to be a contrarian on TV and radio because he knows he can't offer anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 It was Ty Smith, son of former IU baseball coach Tracy Smith. Since Dakich blocked me, I can't seem to find the original tweet (unless Smith deleted it), but I have two follow ups: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Agree with others. He's the perfect "pedaling cynicism as wisdom" guy and that if you don't understand why he's saying something he hits the eject button and says I can't help you. When he just sticks to sports and actually explains himself I think he can be pretty good. I wish I could see some of his recent tweets. Of course he blocked me after pointing out a few things about his stay in Bloomington. Guess my facts didn't fit his anti-Sampson narrative.

I do have the idiot on follow, but I don't pay enough attention to him to see everything. I certainly missed his feud with Zander. I'm sure eventually I'll say something that gets me blocked as well.

Fundamentals Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Danny boy reminds me of the out-of-touch tan old lady in the movie Something about Mary. Trying desperately to hang on to his glory days, and not realizing how transparently obvious it is he's being unsuccessful at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Mike Davis has nothing but good to say about IU. I agree. DD is a knowitall antagonist many times on the radio and a bully all of the time in real life. When DD first started on the radio, I enjoyed his show. He evolved into a bully over time on the air waves- I guess he thinks it helps his ratings. Intimidating and trying to fight or humiliate many callers just turned me off to his show. I honestly have not listened to his show once since bball ended. I have not missed it. Kent Sterling on 1430 is much more informed and interested in IU sports, and treats callins with respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Dakich is losing it beyond belief. When he is getting into twitter scrapes with a bunch of ex IU athletes, some of whom are legends, he is the common denominator. It is clearly Dakich who is the problem because it keeps happening with different people. Guyton, Ogunleye, Diamont and on and on. He got into it with Kevin Wilson. I think he and Kravy are done. It's one disturbed thing after another with this guy. He's the problem. He's the common link in all of these fights. He seems unhinged, disturbed and unhealthy.

JerseyHoosier Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Never been much a Dakich fan because of his blowhard style, but his behavior in this twitter thread pretty much closed the door I had on any respect I had for him. To be a member of the media and publicly instigate/harass an ex-player on social media is just pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonialcrester Posted November 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Dan who? He banned me years ago for some foggy reason. Getting into Twitter fights is part of his schtick. I slightly knew him in college, was a nice guy, but I think the ESPN gig has changed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I knew Dan when he was in high school. Andrean.... or Gary Andrean as it was known back then. One of my uncle's was Dan's God father. I don't think my uncle would be proud of Dan today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuthruandthru Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 How is ESPN ok with his tweets after all their other employees have been punished for the things they say? He has gone beyond ratings grabbing to crazy nastiness too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
