You are expecting too much of us!  There is no subtle point that we can't blow up to look like an egregious error.  Just ask BGleas.  We could debate whether the sun comes up in the east for at least 6 pages, and we are only on page 3 on your topic.  So you lucked out!

The sun rises East South East in winter. Just sayin 😉

Illinois is about to find out about reversion to the mean.  They are average at best. 

Its one miserable offensive season. That obviously needs to be dealt with.  The defensive side of the ball is in good hands. Allen seems like the kind of guy that knows his deficiencies and will find someone to delegate those duties to.  Dolson needs to get the checkbook ready. 

If it happens again next year then I'll be concerned but I doubt it will be this bad. Rebound and make a bowl game is all I ask. Well and win the bowl game if we get there. 

I'm starting to wonder if we all died and are stuck in purgatory.

I don't even know but do they get to apply for depredation tags like other farmers or are they exempt? Assume they can't just do what they want. Funny when I hunted in Kentucky big equipment like combines and loggers would bring the deer running like a dinner bell. They'd follow them around feeding off the spill and what off the trees that they just fell. Obviously you have to be mighty careful hunting around people but I would think farmers would take their share of deer just the same. 

They just hunt in large numbers and fill all the tags they can. No thought of QDM, they shoot everything. And have been known to be trespassers.

So would I

Man, my dad taught me to use the backboard. 12-15' 45 degree jumpshot.  Hit the corner and bank it in. 

I think Race has developed that mid range shot based on what I've seen so far. 

I just feel the 45 second shot clock, what I grew up with, was fine.

It allowed for better shot selection and scoring is petty much the same. Shorter shot clock equals same scoring poorer shooting.

Romeo always stood in the corner

For a half court offense with a 24 second shot clock. Can't do that. 

I would prefer a 45 second shot clock I grew up with.

The difference in the NBA is the players are just so good that it doesn't matter what you do on defense a lot of the time. 

But yeah, you can see signs of what this team can be. If we steadily improve over the next few months we are going to be so dangerous by the end of the year. 

I hope so much you are right. 

This team is looking good and feel like Coach Woodson got his dream job and is going to Crush it. 

Trey will be fine and back in action in about 4 weeks. 

How do I know this, you ask? 

Well, for brevity I broke both my bones above my left wrist while playing football. I couldn't even touch my thumb to my forefinger and I puked and my wrist swelled up to the size of a softball.  I broke my shizz hard. 

That said, I had a clean break, but Trey has world class medical treatment available.  If he broke his left arm like I did I wanted to keep playing, because I'm right handed, and he is he can still shoot. 

Bust casts are hard and that's I couldn't play until it came off because of liability.  3-5 days after a broken bone, you're fine if you're not a wimp.  Pain doesn't last that long. Takes about 3-4 weeks to get function back.

Once my feelings came back(about 3 weeks) to my fingers I cut the cast off with some tin snips. My doctor was pissed.  

I've broke 15 bones I know about. I'm used to it.

Alot of season left to go, but it's nice not getting Blown out at Assembly Hall in you first game by damn near 30 pts to ISU. 

Woody is taking this seriously, he's a native hoosier from Indy, and I truly believe he would do this job for free. Thank God, after our time in the desert we have a Moses that will lead us to victory!

I feel like some guys are being told to shoot the ball. Seems like Race will be able to knock down 3's at times but, and as @IU Scott and I would like, seems to have developed a mid-range jump shot. Those 12-15 footers are money.

It’s amazing how an NBA defensive scheme is superior to a college scheme, isn’t? 
 

The reality is we have better schemes on both sides of the ball than most of the country, just by virtue of having an NBA head coach. 
 

As Woodson continues to bring in guys who fit more of what he wants to do, we are going to see some really special basketball. 

I don't watch NBA anymore, used to follow the pacers, but if this is what it looks like, whew. I might start watching the pacers again. 

The first three games this year you could see some signs. 

But tonight was total dominance on both sides of the floor. If they continue to improve watch out. And this game we were missing 3 contributers and had foul trouble and the bench stepped up. Too early to tell but the cajuns are probably not too bad of a team. 

My excitement is bottled up but hopeful.  

Need to value the ball more to prevent turnovers. Butt 22 assists and 8 blocks, nice. 

Still waiting til further in the season, but the discussion on depth. I think we have it. 

The shooting has definitely improved, Woodys defensive sceme is smothering.  With players out and foul trouble the bench produced. Parker Stewart is a great addition. 

I like the balanced scoring. Takes some stress off TJD. 

PS. Pack line defense was obviously a gimmick. I see some RMK in this teams play.

I must have missed the request for my measles booster...  every 6 months or every 2 months for J&J.   No thanks

The guy is an idiot and this will never end unless people get tired of it and just ignore him and .gov.

Africa is doing well, maybe dosing a cheap anti maliral drug for people over ther has something to do with it?

Trey, Rob, and Logan.  Guess we get to test the bench depth.

To make it worse, Ertz is vulturing those TDs from James Conner.   

It's so unpredictable.  I almost started cousins. He's on the bench with 36 and I'm getting nothing from Mahomes.

Play AJ Brown and he gets hurt.  On that team, have Mooney and Aiyuk on the bench.  You're welcome @mrflynn03

You could almost beat me with just your bench. I'm just glad I subbed in Ertz.

It is not looking good-

So us vaccine hesitant people aren't so foolish after all?

Weather you like it or not you need to be prepared to protect yourself from the animals of this world.  

Be prepared to defend yourself.

Of all the debates we don’t need to get into on this board, I rate gun control near the top, lol. 

Deleted.  

One thing that feels different to me about this season is I see continuous improvement.  I don't see this team regressing of getting in a funk. Woody won't allow that to happen. 

We will lose games here and the but the losing streaks of the last few years aren't going to happen. 

Seems buck's grow bigger in counties with a lower population of Amish. SE Indiana grows them big.
