Don't worry, football season is around the corner! Football in Bloomington never looked better!!!

Blue Blood programs don’t settle for barely recognizable Mid Major coaches. If IU isn’t considering Beard or Wade , it just shows they are not serious about becoming a powerhouse again. Wade proved his abilities at LSU and Beard would kill it at IU. If no elite coaches want to come , well I guess the program is dead. However , I’m sure a certain amount of $$$ would bring them. Offer Pitino or Wright $12 million a year for 5 years. Tired of the scared IU mentality and approach. College hoops is a business now and they need to act accordingly.

I honestly do not view us as a blue blood. I wish we were, but our blue blood status died about 20 years ago.

Your idiocy has no bounds.

You realize you didn’t even like the Cignetti hire right? And I … have no doubt you’re serious because you have zero vision. Zero critical thinking. IU basketball is a sleeping giant.

IU football could go 8-4 for a million years and we’d be fine with that. IU basketball still wants national championships.

Do you understand the difference?

How long has the giant have to sleep before someone checks a pulse and pronounces him dead.

I mean — the hope strategy is cute but to virtually anyone——what do you expect?

And let’s see if by being unable to bring in 30+ twenty six year olds doesn’t hurt the football side this year. Remains to be seen what drop off might be there as well. Seems reasonable.

Just hire someone to build it back— won’t stop saying it. “Buying” it back is a path to the past not the future.

Get someone in here that places expectations and accountability right in their grill. Want your bag but not the rest — move along.

If they don’t want it — as other adjacent programs have recently said —. GFY.

Big boy pants.

Buy some.

Wade was a cheat.

Wade was a cheat.

So - no rules anymore. He just got caught.

If iU is a blue blood with five championships in basketball....then Army is a blue blood in football with five championships. No difference at all. They are equal.
