Alright...the last thread I made on here, I ate my crow...I apologized to all I have insulted, or argued with. Because for years...I was wrong..horribly, horribly wrong.
This time...this post....I'm just sick. I honestly felt that, if there was going to be any game this year, where we stepped up, this was it. NOPE. Sitting back, drink in hand, I'm amazed by how I keep trying to find vindication, or rationalizing this Coach/Team.
Even after admitting how wrong I was, last week, regarding our Coach, and brand of basketball...I still held onto my torch in the dark. Believing, for no reason a sane person would agree upon, that this game would be different. I shouldn't be shocked about the outcome...I should have already knew what would happen. But, I again had hope...and that hope was destroyed, crushed yet again.
I have never been so done with a coach/team than i am now. Not even going to get into all the reasons why...cause there isn't a one of you who doesn't already know.
The point of this message was....wow...Hope in our Hoosiers, even in the face of direct evidence to the contrary...still stings massively. So, now I wonder why i subject myself to this. I have been "watching" games since my dad wanted to name me Isiah when i was born in 1981(mom won out, sadly) No matter the issue/coach...I'm always right there, supporting our team.
But, sitting here now..with my drink...I just can't figure out why i keep doing this. Brings me ZERO joy, nothing but heartache. So...only thing I can do ( I do not donate large sums of money to the university) is not watch, not buy tickets, and not buy IU clothing. I know it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things...but it's the only way I know to voice my absolute displeasure with what my team/school has become.
We need change..and we need it now. I don't care if we fire Coach and his assistants...Let Derek coach for the rest of the year...do we really think he would do worse? After doing that....you do what UK did...you find your man..the one coach you want to lead the team, for the forseeable future..and you throw EVERYTHING at him..and i do mean EVERYTHING.
Or you can just bury us with the other has beens of college basketball. Where my future grandson asks me about this old school team named the Hoosiers, and what happened to them.
This started as a one paragraph rant...but turned into an entire chapter. Sorry...and thanks for reading. I'm sure a lot of you can see where I am coming from. God bless.
