We lost to Indiana State by 20+.

We lost to IPFW.

We lost to Rutgers in the first round of the BTT.

Yes, that’s a debacle to put it mildly.

huh? those were low points. you're an idiot. last year's team went 9 and 9 the year after a more talented team went 7-11. it was not a great season but IU started playing defense for the first time in a decade. who exactly would get more out of that team?

see, we spent the last 5 years bitching about crean so that we could get a good young coach like archie. but now let's ruin that because you psycho bastards worship some weird mythos that never actually existed? knight needed shooters too. lol

Losing is making indiana a civil war state...everyone lighten up

 

[HoosiersChamps]

I’m not close to the program anymore. Never once claimed to be

The 1st sentence says that you used to be close to the program, then the 2nd states that you never claimed to be close to the program. Which one is it? You are so full of $hit!

I think this was a quote from Brian Snow

Again, if that's a problem for them maybe they should try their luck with Kentucky or UNC. Both of those fanbases are just as passionate, see what happens if they miss the tournament 3 years in a row and lose 9 of 10.

I'm sure as hell not going to apologize, Indiana fans are sick and tired of being a laughing stock. I'm sick and tired of watching my alma mater go .500 every year. Again, if he doesn't want to come to Indiana just because our fans care too much, then good riddance. That mentality isn't going to help this team anyway, we already have plenty of players just like that. Despite the losses I at the very least want to watch a team that plays hard, this team does not.

Then stop whining when we don't get some of the top players if you are not willing to change. The fan base should be a help to the coach in recruiting and not an hindrance. The coaches job is hard enough recruiting against other top teams so he shouldn't have to deal with some of the crap that our fans put out there.

lol...I couldn't care less if he comes to IU or not, he's not a "savior" neither was Romeo or any other single recruit we've ever gotten. Until the attitude in this team/program changes there's going to be a lot more losses coming up in the near future.

I don't give a crap who they recruit, I just want to see them play hard for eachother and win ball games. If he doesn't commit to IU it won't be because of the fans, it will be because of where the program is right now. Maybe he doesn't want to miss the tournament every year, maybe he doesn't want to lose 9 of 10, maybe he doesn't want to play for an offense that scores 52 points at home. Blaming passionate fans for recruiting misses is an absolute cop out, especially with how well Kentucky recruits. Have you seen their reactions after just one loss? If IU was winning he would've been committed a month ago.

What I see is a fan base that has pretty much just bitch and moaned for 20 years and guess what it is not working or helping. Maybe it is time for us to change and be like George in Seinfeld where he started doing everything opposite on what he thinks he should do. When he did that everything changed and started working for him so maybe that is what this fan base does.

You got it Scott. This is a six year rebuild minimum.

why would it take that long? we'll likely know everything we need to know inside 13 to 20 months. that's the time it's taken a lot of successful to get it going. but you knew that...

Nobody is saying 6 years and you know it. if we are still here in two years then fire his ass. Like I have said I was not for this hire in the first place but he should be given time to sink or swim.

Fred said this is a major rebuild. Crean had rebuild with three years that did not count. So for a major rebuild probably four years that do not count? You can start to judge in year five.

Do you just enjoy being a pain in the ass or does it just come naturally.

We just lost 3 recruits

Well played . . .

“THANKS A LOT, SCOTT!!!

 

[IUAndy]

You are such a pus. Iu is iu bc of the fans. I’m not going to change my mentality bc it may hurt a recruits feelings; I’m sure you would tho little girl. Easily offended ppl are weak minded and I wouldn’t want them on my team anyways. Back to ur ridiculous crying now Scotty

Seems like you were offended by this post.

he's a habitual liar...

For the rest of the year I will be positive no matter what. Promise. Like you said culture takes time.

Go Iu.

Not true

It is true!

My uncle in southern Indiana used to text me five or six times each game. I have not gotten a text from him since I think the Purdue game. Things are not good at all.

why did you save this intel until now? Call the BOT. Let's get this done for Bailey and his texting relationship with his uncle.

i miss the times me and my uncle used to ride to south Colorado, west Texas bound...

Did he make you sit on his lap?

Maybe we should just consider what we say on these forums is not so gosh darn important.

no you won't. lol

Weren't there posters on the UK message boards saying they don't want KBJ, yet he is visiting UK again. Doesn't add up, negative fan base and all.

 

[bailey777]

no you won't. lol

Watch me.

 

[victorbear]

I can’t understand why there are 5 pages on another save the program recruit. Screw him. Leary told me another story, said when he was recruiting Pat Graham, Pat and his mom walked into Knights office and Knight goes “if you are even thinking about going to Kentucky get the f—k out of here” that’s basically how I feel about Brooks.
