Hoosier Hysterics Podcast
- Thread starter IUPaterade724
- Start date
Hoosier Hysterics are bitter over the way Woodson broke off their access to the program. I wouldn't pay much attention to them from an objective view. They are likely just trying to be relevant again. I didn't like them before the split and I wouldn't give them any attention.
That is the most perceptive comment I've seen in this long thread.
You're only 200% correct.
ATTENTION WHORES! It’s not about money. It’s about ATTENTION! That’s what that means! They’re egotistical fukctards
If they were giving honest behind the scenes information of the clusterf*k created, they both probably deserved to be removed from access to the program, while also telling the truth about what’s going on. It’s not mutually exclusive. They weren’t removed because they LIED, they were removed for giving intimate details that were concerning. That’s not me being a rube and believing fake info. They could have kept it to themselves. but it seems they thought it was so egregious that they had to talk about it. It just so happens they have a podcast with an audience.
If they were making it all up, then they should never be trusted.
I don't blame him one bit for getting paid and this isn’t a dig on Leal in any way.
I’ve seen rumors that someone very recently let go is talking. The assistants have had to keep Woody in check often and then take the blame when things, like recruiting for example, go south.
i'm glad we have football to cheer us up
With regards to common knowledge, especially on this message board, I don’t believe much of anything as fact. Lots of silly conjecture. Who knows what Dolson wanted to do.
Also, I’ve heard plenty from Brian Evans over the years. Brilliant player, but otherwise does not seem to me like the sharpest knife in the drawer. Quite the opposite actually, and I take his his counsel, takes and opinions lightly.
They were critical of the play on the court and Woody got pissed. It wasn't until after their banishment that they pulled back the curtain.
As far as airing dirty laundry and whether that's right or wrong. they were insiders who got shunned, once their access was cut off, avid listeners wanted to know why. Eric told his side of the story, I didn't like to hear it, but if it's true, I'm glad he shared it because it confirms a lot of the rumors that have been circulating for years.
I just saw that Rabjohns posted a link to the Hysterics, so he must be persona non gratis now too.
Aren't they pretty much partners or contributors on his site now?
What are the stories about the players that do not make you feel good?
Jim's YT channel might be bearable if he would stop inflecting his voice. Good lord man, stop it. Talk like a normal person. Not everyone has a smooth radio voice, so please stop making it worse by using your exaggerated inflections when speaking.
It's hard to have the dumbest take on the internet in a single day, but congrats. You've done it.
Well aren’t you just precious! Would you call his insights high quality? I like Jim. I’ve met him and find him to be a very nice guy. I just find his continual lack of understanding nuance to be unbearable. I’ve had countless others say as much to me, so clearly my take isn’t that stand out.
What does Indiana University have to do with that? Like we're graduating students to fill jobs for IU radio and podcasts and message boards?
Agreed, good guy, loves IU and gets good guests, but not a great interviewer or host. Personally I think he's got a bad case of ADHD, but if he'd just slow down, relax a little and have more prepared and memorized questions, I think he could improve his delivery and appeal a ton. And I still appreciate the content and interviews he posts.
No, and frankly that presumption was an awfully big leap from my post. However, given the fact that we have a school steeped in journalistic tradition, it is not a stretch to think that there would be a site or show utilizing someone with a high-quality background to discuss our team. Was that simple enough for you?
I agree on the quality of guy and guests, and would never question his love for IU. I just constantly find his line of questioning for the guests to be lacking and have not once listened to his show and felt better informed due to his part. I am on the road in KY all the time and while I loath the content, Matt Jones and KSR are light years ahead of what we have from a quality standpoint.
Not a big leap at all, just either poorly written or poorly interpreted or both.
"Media strength that IU boasts" I interpret as a school with a strong media program.
And keep in mind, the school of journalism was around for decades...the media school is still in its developing stages, comparatively. And if you haven't listened to Galen Clavio on CrimsonCast, then you're missing someone who has a great radio voice and a strong IU sports pedigree.
Damn, if true I’m applying now. I doubt I could get out on the court. But at a bargain price of 100k. I can cheer like hell on the pine.
Thanks for the suggestion on CrimsonCast. That is a new one by me and I will surely be giving it a listen.
My point wasn’t that the schools should be funneling into fan sites, but rather that one would think someone would have run with a high quality fansite/radio with the breadth of media talent out of the school. We have one of the most unyieldingly loyal fanbases in the world, so a quality product will get viewers/listeners.
He has the authority to do so yes. Will he? No. At least not without support from Whitten, some BOT members, and a few of the big donors.
Scott is a nice guy. But he’s a yes man and that’s precisely why he was hired. He is to the IU athletic department what Biden has been to the Presidency. A puppet.
Yes, but when he starts talking strategy and anything about actual play, it gets ugly quick.
No. Scott moved on Allen and led the Cig hire. That resulted in IU making the CFB playoff and being in the best shape it has ever been to be decent to good in the only sport that really matters. This could transform athetlic dept revenues and therefore IU sports overall. He has achieved a lot more than a "yes man" or "puppet."
Look at what he is dealing with on the basketball side: The Chairman of the Board is Woody's best pal and pushed very hard for Woody to be hired. Key donors also love Woody. Like it or not, Scott has to navigate an extremely difficult political environment on the bball side. Hopefully he is allowed to lead the bball program and make personnel decisions, like an AD should. We'll see.
I'm glad we have Scott around. If it's not him, we're restarting with someone who is likely far worse and probably an actual "yes man."
