more importantly, how many are with me in not believing that it is 100% that Woodson will be back. things could still dictate that right?

do you think Woodson has any realization of how bad things are yet?

makes me think the rumblings are true. Taco next? Reneau?

if there was a throwing up emoji i would use it now. i was really looking forward to him. pretty distraught about next year at this point.

i mean crazier things could happen than beating an average MSU team at AH. then there is no team we could play in the first round that is too talented for us to beat.

you know i love old school, but i just don't think that's how it works any more. the kids who just want to go to IU and just improve and not worried about the money aren't good enough to help us.

i mean, who doesn't like to have talent on their team? i'm all for getting studs this off season. will hopefully make next season bearable. as i said before, does anyone think Woodson can take a group of Purdue type/level of kids and have a good year? hell no. he needs all the talent he can get. that said, i still contend that it will be tough to bring in many that are as highly regarded as Taco or Ware were. he has Liam. gonna need at least one more stud and that's assuming Taco is back. Reneau? Galloway?

i absolutely don't think we should give up on this thread until the final buzzer sounds. i don't put it past Woodson to still seal his fate by season's end!

but was it? who was the source? it's not like Dolson or someone else was quoted as saying Coach Woodson is our guy or whatever.

purgatory

honestly i'd just like to win any year. next year would be a good one. the big year we had with JHS and TJD together was not quite as much as i would have hoped.

i will definitely be cheering for the best ending to this season that we can have - question - how low could we finish with a loss to MSU and how high could we finish with the W? could we finish 12th still? could we finish 5th still?

this is kind of where i'm at...i believe that they really want to keep him one more year, but had it gone how i thought and we were at that 7 game losing streak, it would be so so ugly. i mean look how bad it is even with a couple wins. had to make an announcement that he'll be back? just a shame that we have to wait another year to start the rebuild. so... i hope we can defend our home court vs MSU and win a couple rounds of BTT. then retain Taco, MR, and Liam. pray we get stud guards and that Woodson can't mess up that much talent too badly!

am i seeing it right that we have attempted 1 and it was Ware?

i bet he can shoot! at the same time, we know he isn't selfish.

i didn't even see Jesus in the game!

i mean this is a classic case of me hoping i'm wrong for being pessimistic. would be so glad to be wrong about Woodson and he leads us to a National Championship. i just don't believe in dragons or unicorns.

that almost made me spit my bourbon out when i LOL'd. careful please.

my wife just said, "wow, this is bad basketball. what in the world?"

actually a reclassed senior.

so so obvious. it's kind of comical

i always hesitate to engage you, but wasn't he a great scorer on bad teams? i don't feel like looking it up. he was about 4 years before my time.

i generally go to bed at 9pm. drinking bourbon after 9pm on a school night is no bueno for me.

please @DC2345 give me hope. if we lose ugly tonight and lose at home vs MSU then 1st round of BTT, do you honestly believe it won't get ugly enough to still make a change?

i'm not convinced that that announcement really means anything. things may very well get even uglier. maybe Woodson gets tired of it all? there aren't any quotes from IU officials in there. if he is back, we'd have to have Liam at the 3, Mtaco at the 4, and Reneau at the 5 along with 2 stud guards. if we are so talented that even Woodson can't mess it up, i could see a good season. like say, JHS and TJD. thing is, Taco doesn't want to play the 4 and Reneau doesn't want to play the 5. so embarrassing that we have to announce that our coach won't be fired in season and that we don't care about winning. let's just postpone one more year before we even try to be good again.
