Indykev Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 I was in indy driving 4 young hoosiers to a hotel to fly out in the morning. Next thing i hear, F this athletic dept. not giving another penny to it. Liam just decommitted. I almost wrecked. you now have 4 student season ticket holders done buying tickets until they fire Woodson. we are now 0-32 in recruiting for the year. Could the worst coach ever do that hell no, but Mike f'ing Woodson has pulled it off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiming you said something dumb? There’s a difference in calling you dumb and calling something you said dumb. What do you know champ? This is some big plus for IU? Please try to justify that!

It's pretty easy....but thanks for calling me dumb twice. If you can't see the move by Kansas and Self....you certainly couldn't understand why Sampson had Gordon wait to decommit from Illinois until the very end so that Bubbles couldn't make up ground and get E'twaun back. Again. Sucks for IU but it's pretty simple to see the maneuver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re smart because this makes sense? Yeah, we know it makes sense for him. Why would he want to play for Woodson? No duh.

Year 4 will absolutely be the worst of the Woodson era if he is retained. I was going to accept the fact that he’s getting another year and hope for the best.. this is the final straw for me. I have no idea how he turns this around. Liam will not be the only one to jump ship. I know you think highly of Trilly - he thinks that Reneau and Galloway are gone. I wish that things worked out, but we need to make a move. Badly. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a 3 and I heard that and saw the 3 years of Woody coaching then I think I’d decommit too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 You have one recruit…and you don’t stay in touch to keep him. That’s some coach we have. Woody has no business running a program. We are approaching Patrick Ewing ineptitude now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody has no business running a program. We are approaching Patrick Ewing ineptitude now. No he sure doesn’t and he probably doesn’t care he lost him. His ego is so big that he think he will just go out and build a team if his choice. We’ll hate to tell him but he lost portal players because he wouldn’t promise playing time. Well he will have plenty this year and probably still won’t promise playing time. I’ve never been more confused and frustrated at how and why we can let him keep being the coach. I wish someone would come remove QB because he is as much if not more at fault for letting his friendship get in the way of IU. Too bad there isn’t something in writing about personal friendships getting in the way as a way to remove QB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 (edited) 41 minutes ago, Hoosierdave said: While I’m happy to acknowledge that things have been way too toxic from the fanbase on social media this year, a big reason why Liam was so high on IU in the first place was the fan support and attention he received. Fans that don't think what they do and say impact players, coaches, and recruits are being hypocritical though. The same fervor that makes them great goes the other way too. BTW, I don't think he decommitted because of the fans. Edited March 8 by OGIUAndy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
