Need to step up NIL

Except portal recruits are older, wiser and with a proven market value. The recruiting world has evolved and people are understandably skeptical of CMW's strategy. He built a roster this season and gets a chance to compete. We all get to watch and see what happens.

Getting bent about 5 stars going to UCONN right now is sort of silly.
Probably. But it’s kinda hard for us older fans to pivot and not give a crap who we’re rolling out there any given night. We used to get to know our players. This rent-a-roster stuff is crap. But it’s where we are. Woody will eventually be held accountable for whatever he does.

Israel under attack from Hamas

It looks like they hit some “nonsense” missle sites and bases.

I figured they would hit some minor oil systems…I was wrong.
Sounds like they limited themselves to a few military sites around Tehran. Probably trying to remind Iran they can get through their defenses, while still giving Iran an opportunity to downplay the damage and back away from a retaliation.

Need to step up NIL

In an odd way, I think Cignetti’s success will give Dolson more courage and street cred with the BOT to make a head coaching change if needed. I think Dolson will speak with a bolder, more confident voice if this season is a disappointment.
I 100% agree. Dolson must be walking around about 6 inches taller these days. And he damn well should, Might’ve gotten lucky, might’ve out ninja’d everyone else. Who knows? But he hammered a walkoff HR - no matter how you see it.

Here’s the truly odd thing - after this incredible Fall, I don’t think I’ll care as much about the shitshow coming in Winter. At some time (hopefully minimal) everyone on this forum except for willdog will be asking WTF is Woody doing!?

Makes me calmer, I think.

Game day Parking

GPS says to come over on bypass(45) and turn into orange lot on north side of stadium. Is 45 pretty backed up?
Thanks
Sorry to respond so late. I just now was looking at the site for the first time today. The orange lot isn't accessible from the bypass on game days. You can only enter through gate 4 which is at the intersection of Woodlawn and 17th street. If coming from the north you have to get to the south end of the stadium to get into the orange lot. If the exit from I69 at old 37/ n. Walnut is closed, I would recommend going all the way down to the 3rd street exit and avoiding the traffic on 46/bypass. Once you get to the area around the courthouse square downtown, work your way to tenth street and then over to Woodlawn and head straight up Woodlawn to the gate 4 entrance. There are traffic cops at the main intersections directing. It never takes me long to get from 10th and Woodlawn to the gate on 17th. Straight across 17 at the light and you're in the orange lot. Hope this helps.

Anyone actually think we'll get Mullins?

Yep. If they win the big ten this year, I don't really care if they lose in the first round. I mean, I care, it would be a bummer, but I'm not going to advocate for firing a coach in that case.

On the flip side, if we finish 8th in the conference and then sneak into the second weekend thanks to a lucky draw/opponents injuries/hot shooting, I'm not going to donate to a statue either.

You can't win the tournament if you don't get in. No one makes it every year, but if a coach misses it twice four years, that's not good enough. Woodson got his mulligan last year. I expect a run of appearances starting now, or I expect a new coach.

As I mentioned, I am more patient than most. I would have fired Davis a year earlier, Crean at the same time we actually did fire him, and I would have given Archie one more year. But it doesn't really matter if anyone agrees with me or if I agree with Dolson. I'm not the AD, prez, or on the BOT.
I'm about as patient as it comes, when it comes to IU BB. But thinking Archie should have had another year?

That's just self abuse.

NOVEMBER PREDICTIONS - Put em Right Here

"I'm for sensible gun ownership laws where if someone is considered dangerous, mentally unstable, or a 'threat to democracy', we confiscate their guns."

"Would Trump voters automatically be logged and considered "mentally unstable""?

"We'll defer to our designated expert on political fanatacism, William Gilligan, to determine what individuals need to be denied gun ownership, and/or delegation for re-education...his IQ is evidently really high, and he's a self-described expert in this field".
WTF. My name isn’t William or Gilligan and I’m a conservative and a 2nd Amendment supporter. This is one way you MAGAs are screwing up the party - you turn on those that agree with you on issues, but not on everything. You can’t have a party where in which every person is totally loyal to Trump and all agree on every issue. It’s not going to happen.

Now go **** yourself. That’s more than enough ankle biting from you. Are you Mas?
