Link On Mike Woodson's job security ... Izzo: "I gotta say — mind boggling to me that Mike has won 18 games in a conference that is really difficult, from (No.) 2 to (No.) 13. And somebody's gotta stick up for him coming back next year? What a joke. What a joke, man."

Y'all underestimate how tough Mike Woodson is... You're talking about a guy who got off of an operating table and 6 weeks later led his team to the Big 10 championship, and was B10 player of the year... And he just punched some of y'all right in the mouth...

Through my source, Dilly Tronovan, I've learned that Galloway and Leal are teaming me up for a duet of "Kind and Generous" as a salute to Woody, then announce they're coming back... A celebration cake will be rolled out, and Liam McNeely will pop out and say, "Psych!" 😉

Awesome, bro... Awesome 👍 Remind me to tell you the story of the Tech Sargent working local at Scott AFB tower drinking Carling Black Labels (true! 🙂)

Jay Bilas going at the drink throwers...

I've worked my share of airshows... Some were unintentional 🙂 A guy on my staff lives adjacent to the grass strip TS07 (Tango Sierra Zero Seven). It's a "flying community." He doesn't own an airplane (he was a controller) but he does own a small hanger...he lets his neighbor keep his PA32 (Lance) in there... The parties at his place are epic...

Been underdogs in the last 3... Some of y'all missed out 😉

Mob rule... Gotta love it 🙂

Hard to believe both Willie Mays and Wade Boggs scored as low as they did in the Gold Glove/200 hit club...Especially Mays... I was pretty sure Ichiro would top that list...24%

One thing about mine, I would pay good folding money to hear Harry Caray butcher his way through my 40+ homers row

I do that all the time...Look at what you or @rico put up, and curse myself for an hour for not thinking of "that player."

You coach swimming right? And I'm sure you're good at it...But I'm also sure not every swimmer reaches his or her potential under your tutelage...Like I said, "Horse to water." You can only provide the environment, the tools, and the knowledge and guidance to help someone else succeed... I'll back Mike Woodson as a coach until the day he is no longer the basketball coach at Indiana... But I'll back him as a man til the day he dies...Just too much evidence that he's a good man with good intentions to ignore...

You stated "I am fine with people piling on a little hyperbole if that is what it takes to get the decision makers to hasten his departure." Which has turned into half truths and outright lies... I'm a "believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear" type...You have to prove it to me with facts...Not some X cut and paste from a middle school coach or any nimrod with a podcast that happens to support your agenda (not talking about you in particular but it happens)

No it doesn't...not even close...As I said, y'all treat facts as inconveniences...

And I find that despicable...And it's not "a little."

45...I'm in a slump...Maybe I ought to pull the old Tommy Lasorda trick and start pulling names out of my hat...

The second sentence is exactly correct...It's the old "you can lead a horse to water" thing... But you must insure they have the tools and the knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses and help them galvanize the former, and minimize the latter...That's leadership 101... And in the video I posted, that's exactly what Trayce said Coach Woodson did for him...As Coach Knight said, "in basketball the importance of the mental to the physical is about four to one." A good leader helps much more with the mental... No one is saying Woody has to stand out there and watch Trayce hoist 500 jump shots... But facts are inconvenient things around here...

And that's all I think anyone asks, is fairness...

I know you're not in love with the truth, but even you can't dispute straight from the horses mouth...

Hence my first sentence... Yeah, he didn't develop TJD, or JHS, or Kel'el Ware, or Mackenzie Mgbako... Y'all need to stick with the truth

If you look at players brought in this year, eh... But Illinois has Shannon, Dainja, and Harmon along with Domask and Gurrier as transfers on their roster... And UConn has Tristan Newton and Hassan Diarra as previous transfers as well ...

Yeah, when he was hired you couldn't find anyone that would say a bad word about Woody ... Not one... Now he's this egomaniacal ogre who kicks dogs and pushes little old ladies... BS... People who have agendas normally have a loose association with the truth... Criticize his coaching all you want, but now getting into Mike Woodson as a person, which I figured would happen, and painting this picture of an A-Hole deluxe is flat bull crap...
