Not that there would be such insane mass substitutions like last night, but.........

What is the point of mass substitutions? In the NBA I get it. The clock hits a marker and both teams do it.

In college though, why are you doing it? It can disrupt the rhythm and kill momentum. Experimenting with lineups in a game that seems like it’s becoming a blowout is one thing, you can do that by bringing in 1 or 2 off the bench to see how it goes.

Going back to RMK. If it is a problem with all starters playing like they don’t care, and you want to send a message, I can understand that. The bench sends message to the players …. Etc

But, when you are rolling there is zero reason to do it.

Just needs to work out a functional rotation. Think I'd first sub Ballo and Carlyle and get a few more minutes out of Rice, who's a stabilizer and to me seems the most important for pace and flow. Then bring back Ballo and Carlyle with Galloway so you have 2 ball handlers in the backcourt and Ballo and Galloway have played well together in the PnR. Whatever it is, you can't have too many starters off the floor at once.

I'd just texted a buddy when it was like 21-5 how much better our D looked, and then it was like a switch flipped and it was a battle against old, bad tendencies for the rest of the game.

Still like Hatton and his effort when he comes in and think he'll find some minutes. I know one time I'd bring he, or Tucker or Goode in: when Reanu has a brain fart and walks away on the FT line without blocking out. Pine time.

Ya Ohio State fans -I heard-you-you think what can a 90 year old guy do and that I don't belong here -so I tell em, look me in the eye-all 140 pounds of me, -I've been around the block-faced big odds before, the Army couple of years in Okinawa (peace time) toughened me up some. IU and I are ready for you. Found some life long loves-IU, my IU met wife of 65 years-been around the world-our country-far and away the best, like our coach and team.

That's what IU will be Saturday.. Seen it with my own eyes-Bill Mallory 's team crushed them in Bloomington, my wife and I were there (after beating them a year prior in Columbus. Saw coach Hep who would have done it too, had he lived. Now we got the real deal. My shoulder is pretty scrawny now but I got a great big chip on it now, but it will send vibes with thousands of other IU fans, who in the toughest moments Saturday will help us prevail, as in win

Gloriana Frangipana ere to Her be True She's the pride of Indiana Hail to old IU

I got to enjoy Okinawa too in the 1976 for three weeks attending staff school. I hope to have my life love for as long as you had yours as we are now together for 40 years. Now we both get to see IU getting a coach that can move IUFB into the top of B1G.

A savvy coach, which I think CCC certainly is, would approach NIL from the perspective of getting the 'best bang for your buck'.

Looking at what Cignetti assembled in year one and without knowing concrete numbers, I'd still say that Cignetti was EXCELLENT at value shopping/bargain hunting....

If you've got a money tree I guess this theory doesn't apply. Michigan apparently has a money tree because they gave a 5* QB like 12 million dollars yesterday!! It's out of control and caps need to be in place.

You can't possibly watch this and think this is acceptable. The effort, the subbing, the approach to D, the sets.

What are the positives you see and please don't say we are 4-0. This schedule is a joke.

A reason for Covid vaccine skepticism?

Even with "the initial vaccine saved lives"...it still wasn't worth taking it for 90% of the population. In dire cases,fine, not for the entire population. It takes 10 years to get approval for a headache medicine sometimes...but the vaccine was good to go in 10 months?..they would have had to tie me down to get me to take it.

That is debatable but once again I real time the shit was real. Herd immunity was not necessarily a bad goal to try to attain. Monday morning QB could take it either way but as Spartans said those of us in healthcare knew what was happening and the political posturing on both sides was maddening

those whole sale line changes aren't working, haven't worked ever for Woody.

last night was particularly hellacious. and it destroyed our mojo into the 2nd half. having to call a TO 2 min into 2nd half is not a good thing.

Agree. The maddening part is he keeps doing it when even amateurs like us see it does not work. He's is either stubborn or incapable of learning at this point.

At least he's adding content. This board has become pretty dead. Not even much b!tching about the poor performance last night.

Was thinking the same. Of the 4 IU boards I follow, this is by far the least active after games.

I've seen enough already to know we have more talent this year, but that it won't matter until we have a new coach. Lazy, poor substitution patterns, over help on D leaving wide open 3s, middle school offense with no real purpose, etc.

Just a boring brand of basketball with no hope of sustainable success in March.

What would RMK have done when he saw such lack of focus, no motion on offense, and zero blocking out on defense?
Other than the first couple of minutes, that was painful to watch.

What if NIL changes the feelings of fans enough, or for other reasons, CTE, changing conferences, streaming, the popularity or monetary worth, or distribution of media funds of college football declines? Plus Indiana has to answer to public officials to a greater degree than Northwestern. This is mostly an OT aside I know, but I doubt if it's just 'football will be a gravy train, forever! Compete!'

IU wouldn't have to answer to public officials if the $$$ came from private sources.
IIRC, the athletic department at IU does not use any tax dollars.

He’s not the only one who says this. Why is everyone in p4 upgrading football facilities? Why spend over a billion doing it? Like NW. kids want to see the product and we don’t have it yet. NW knows the value. It’s just one thing they can check off and not have to brush off to a recruit. It matters.
Click to expand...

NW's plans for that facility had to start WAY before NIL.
IMO, NIL has totally changed the landscape of college sports. Many are still thinking in terms of recruiting from the past.
Do you think Ballo, Rice and Carlyle came to IU for the facilities?
It would be nice to see an article where they actually talk to recruits and what they prioritize.

The gravy train will be around through at least 2030, which is how far the B1G media rights deal goes. Over the next four years, our B1G media rights are going to increase another $20M/yr. The CFB Playoff media rights are going increase B1G schools media rights another $16M/yr. Rev share will be a new expense, but the media rights increases seem to cover that, at least for financially well run departments in the big two conferences like ours.

We're in year four of NIL and it hasn't impacted interest. People don't seem to care.

CFB could decline someday, but the tribalism that comes with it is strong and it's tough to see what would materially chip away at that in the next ten years.

Nobody should have been forced to get it but the reality is that it worked initially.

Masks…nope….

The vaccine rollout was also a massive failure
