Are they just now baking the center's season ending injury into the recipe? Wow......

I think it’s great they’re being rewarded as well but I can also see on the negative side. A holder buys eight additional tickets but then puts them up for sale. How many would be sold to the visiting team fans? Does IU want that to happen? Instead of 2500(?) tickets they now might have 10000. Sorry to be negative.

Doesn’t matter? The problem is IU is so far behind. Like not even top 50. It does matter and I’m going to say this will be addressed very soon.

All of these things can be true. And even the best coaches (RMK included, per your examples), can't get their guys to play consistently hard, focused, or clean basketball ALL the time.

But they can nip the L O N G E R stretches of lower energy and focus, sloppy play, etc... in the bud, by focusing on it early and often, and not allowing his teams to get away with the highs and lows in practices. 3+ years in now, it sure doesn't seem like Woodson has made consistency, in much of anything, a priority in his program. In nearly every single game they play, his teams have long, prolonged lulls and stretches of poor or uninspired play.

Of course some that responsibility is on the players. But he's had 4 pretty different casts of characters now, and we're seeing the same traits in all his groups. I think there's enough evidence to make a pretty good, educated call, that Woodson isn't very good at establishing consistency in his teams.

I think its a larger problem than just his substitution patterns. But it is a VERY well established...basically fact at this point...that his teams efficiencies fall off the map when he takes multiple starters out of the game at the same time. I get the need to tinker early on in the season, to see what guys can do playing with different teammates, in different situations. His mass subbing style doesn't really accomplish that though...and its very proven and established that it destroys our performance and our efficiency metrics. Which, unfortunately, are important.

Sure, and if Travis Ford was an elite athlete with ultra quick hands he would have been a high draft pick. (Maybe needed a couple of inches in height as well but still).

They have done a lot to MS the past 20 years but they need to do a lot more. Essentially more of everything. They could double the amount of bathrooms and concessions and that may still not be enough. More seats and add luxury seats for sure. 100% need football player and staff only facilities.

Take a look at what Northwestern of all places is building. It's pretty awesome honestly.

I, like most everyone else, am looking for reasons to be optimistic for tomorrow's game. Most of us agree that coaching can make a difference, with us having what most likely is National Coach of the Year, Cignetti > Day. Go Hoosiers!

I think a practice facility/football complex is the most important facility upgrade needed. I'm going to look like I'm a UC Bearcat fan, but they are very close to us geographically, in stadium size, and are in a P4 conference. I believe that IU is a much better job, mostly due to being in the B10, but UC is kicking our ass with their stadium and practice facilities. They are way ahead of us, but the $$ is there if we keep winning and selling out MS. I guarantee that the most optimistic budget ever made by the athletic dept for 2024 has been absolutely blown out of the water already, and we still have 1 more home game left. We are talking going from like a $30,000,000 projection to a $60,000,000 haul from football. That's program changing $$ that will get reinvested in facilities and coaches salaries. While the price tag on UC's practice facility was like $130,000,000, Penn St is about to start a $700,000,000 stadium renovation. We can join the facilities arms race if we sellout all our home games every fall.

Good for season ticket holders. Finally getting rewarded for loyalty. I like it too. Bandwagon people always pay more. Massive grin! Cost more to be late. Go Hoosiers!

Yes, there is still an element of risk in making the jump to the NBA that can’t be eliminated. Mac McClung was an elite jumper but no draft interest because average shooter. My actual original point was that if MM showed that he was an elite shooter then he would have very good draft potential even with shortcomings in other phases of the game.

My fear exactly. Size, strength and depth will wear us down in the second half. Hopefully we’ll overcome the advantage OSU has up front but imo if we lose it will be in the trenches.
