Free throws are important 

Couldn’t squeeze a greased BB up their rears right now

We suck again!!!

Bad mood and beer doesn’t taste good again

Force feeding Davis has cost us the big lead.  Terrible, pathetic, unbelievable

Tiger's putter is a Cameron that is labeled Cameron, his putter grip is a ping grip which he blacks out. Tiger also never played Titliest or Nike irons. He played Mizuno irons which both Titliest and Nike paid millions to Mizuno for blank head so they could stamp them with their logo's. Taylor Made basically stole patents from Mizuno to get Tiger to sign. Golf balls, the top players in the world have their own ball made. One you or I will never play. Rookies that come out try all the top players golf balls to find one they like or they get what they get. I had a pro that I didnt work for give me a couple of dozen balls one time because he didnt want to carry them. I hit my irons 2 clubs farther. I told the guy I was working for and he switched the next week and we finished in the top ten 8 weeks in a row winning one. He hit that ball 20 yards farther off the tee and an iron farther. It changed his career. I have a little knowledge not much.

His putter wasn’t always labeled Cameron I know that for sure I saw it covered or modified in some way so cameron wasn’t showing when he was playing in the Ryder cup or presidents cup shortly after he made the switch.  We don’t see anything those guys play with wether it be balls or clubs.  Hell we can’t even get most of the apparel those guys wear, just knock offs of the same brand.

Taylor Made make the best clubs on the market. Thats why Tiger went to them. As far as your son. Dont rush him into adult mens club to quickly. Let him grow into them or he will get bad habits because of the weight. Find him a good used ladies set so he gets used to the length and weight. Ebay is a great place to find clubs online or 2nd swing. Once he grows then get the mens set.

Titliest makes the best clubs and balls on the market.  Taylor Made is good though.  Tiger followed the 💰.  He still putts with a Cameron that’s not labeled.

I have a question for all of you good to great golfers. I know there are several on here. I feel good with my knowledge of the game of basketball and I love to play golf and watch the tour but as far as equipment I am clueless. Ayden is an 8th grader and currently 5ft tall. I am not sure how tall he will get. He currently has a set of clubs that is the top set of the US Kids clubs. They are 1 year old they fit him perfectly but it is a limited set and for his Freshman year I want to get him a nice set that will last a few years or until he really out grows them. Any suggestion?? The two sets I am looking at are the Callaway XT Teen set height for 63" and above 

Or The King Cobra Varsity set 60" to 65" 

I am thinking the Callaway just because it does not have an end height on them. I have not seen either in person to compare so any suggestions would be great. 

I’d personally go with the callaways.  Cobra jacks with the lofts too much for my liking.  Callaway would be the more consistent club in my opinion.

AMEN!!! freshman orientation was tonight no idea what he wants to do other than be a lead guitarist for a heavy metal band and play college golf.

He still taking lessons from Terry?

Anyone who is ready to give up on Woody is crazy! He is not without fault either.  You can say someone screwed up and not want them gone.  Culture change takes a long time especially when you are trying to change the same players that aren’t use to the culture you are trying to build.  Woody has lost us some games and won us some games and the same can be said for the players.  As they say in Hoosiers “Give the man a chance!”

So my take on the program culture...we have passive guys on the team but I think the issue is deeper than that.

We have guys on the team who get treated like they joined the Duke or UK program but they are really walking into Rutgers.  I think all of the pageantry and ass kissing that goes on with the program has become detrimental to the on court product.  We don't have junk yard dogs on the court because the program recruits and develops French poodles.  I think that is particularly true of the local (Indiana) guys we have had on the team more often than not.  They walk in treated like royalty and nobody in this program has done much to earn that.  Access to cool apartments, state of the art facilities, people falling over themselves to throw them money and for what?  Not one guy in this program has made the tournament.  Not one.

Are guys putting up shots in the offseason and between games?  A big thing we heard about our last really good run was how much time guys like Hulls and Oladipo were putting in to improve their game.  In fact, there was speculation they did so much that it "wore them out".  (I think that is nonsense but whatever.)  I just feel we have a participation trophy culture and so we get participation trophy results.  These guys can suck ass for 4 years and they still get all the trappings of being an IU player and EVERYTHING they get was earned by guys who have not been on campus in over 20 years and who also won games without half the creature comforts this current crop has.

These dudes start on third base at Indiana, think they did something, and never put in the required effort to get home.

 

This is awesome and absolutely correct!

Last thing I’ll ask.  When was the last true leader, and by leader I mean on the floor?? Not saying it has to be a point guard but the last leader I can think of is Yogi.  He wasn’t afraid to get into people when they messed up.  We have nobody to do that.  No leaders within the players that I’ve seen.  Fake leaders, no true leaders though.

Woodson is here because of Isaiah Thomas. Period.

Quinn Buckner

When you change coaches and have the same problems as before, maybe it is the players.  I love them for choosing IU but there is no toughness whatsoever in this team.  Trayce, Kopp, Durr, and even Race to an extent are all soft players.  Our toughest player is Trey and it’s not even close.  That goes both mentally and physically.  Race cost us this game on the defensive side of the ball.  You could see Woody getting into him a good bit at the end of regulation.  He’s constantly lost on D.  Trayce, well he is what he is.  He’s a good, not great player.  To put it better, he is a second option type player.  These guys all seem so distracted with other stuff around them.  Go Hoosiers!

Still a weak minded team let by two seniors in that category in X and Race.  Glad they are Hoosiers but man they make some crucial mistakes.  Tournament chances on life support

Race thompson leaving Liddell like he’s a scrub all game long.  For as good as he can be he has some real boneheaded plays.

Honestly, Stewart hasn’t been awful at point. Also helps having your best shooter handle the ball a bit. I don’t hate this lineup. 

That makes one of us 😂

Get X out, put Durr at point

Been telling you all that all season

I think we all see it, but also realize we don’t have any better options

X is so bad when he’s bad.  That’s his 4 turnover already. We need a PG badly!
