Popular Post BGleas Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Just finished watching, great win! Great job by Mike Woodson and the staff to make some adjustments overall and throughout the game, and mostly just getting the guys focused and playing with effort and intensity. If IU plays with that level of effort and defensive intensity then we'll get back to winning games and this thing will stay afloat while we wait for XJ and Race. Have to give a shout out to Jordan Geronimo! He finally accepted and played his role perfectly. As an intense, hustling, garbage pail, athletic 4 he is a big problem for the Big Ten. IU is really, really good with this version of JG! IU is fun to watch when they play hard! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that generation dies off, it's becoming harder to find people that play. I bet I haven't played it in 35 years. Had a aunt, by marriage, that I learned it from. I always called it the Bible Belt game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are more negative nellies who have nothing to say, but I can only keep track of a few Well, I just got home from hiking with my wife and then the casino so I didn't see the game. Am I glad we won and played better? Heck yes! Do I think we have turned a corner? I hope so, but I have my doubts. My being negative is no different than every time we win a game some of you think the ship has been righted. When we suck, we suck! We we play good, we play good! I see both sides and comment accordingly. Woodson has never been my pick as coach (not that it matters to anyone) and today's results does not change that one bit. Give me some long term improvement and maybe I will feel different about him but so far he hasn't done enough to change my opinion. Sorry my thoughts on Woodson don't mesh with yours. Your opinions on him are as important to you as mine are to me. Unfortunately we don't see things the same way. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are a thoughtful lomg term member here. You do not deserve to be lumped with some.of the others that simply post to agitate. You post honest, thoughtful opinions. HSN, let's not always lump "pessimistic" posters in with those that post just to troll. That's unfair and does nothing to help the homest banter around here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been negative/pessimistic about everything IU between CTAand the football program and now the basketball team. You have also been extremely anti- Dolsen or anything to do with the administration. Sorry, but I don’t buy the, “you’re a valuable poster” narrative.
