IU basketball

Wison was a PITA the first day he stayed on campus. He caused a lot of shit for Fred to clean up.

I personally liked Wilson and thought he was a good football guy, but it's clear he had a ceiling as HC. Fred saw a leader in Allen and a way to get rid of a problem. Wilson had enough strikes against him that it wasn't hard to find a way to get him out, whether it was the lawsuits or his drinking escapades.

That happens all the time in college athletics and, as has been mentioned, if Wilson was winning 8 games a year, all would have been overlooked.

Wilson saw the writing on the wall and knew he at least was violating whatever morals clause he had in his contract. He also knew he could get another job as OC. So he took the settlement and walked, knowing Fred had him by the balls if it came to a lawsuit.

Oh I remember his dorm story. I always wondered why we could either get a good defensive game or a good offensive team but never both. I think one of his games we scored with under a minute to lead and still couldn’t hold them. Fun offense tho

The playing hurt was just an excuse. Being the town lush and running around on his wife did him in.

Bloomington is a small town.
We (you and I) are in lock step on almost all things, but whoring has nothing to do with Football, its on his own time and no one's business but him and his wife. I'm neither dismissing nor condoning such behavior. But it has nothing to do with football.
IU "small town" Bloomington needs to get over its holier than thou, front pew sitting, judgmental, west coast infiltrated bullshit.
Just win!
 
So the more I’ve thought about it, here’s where I stand:
1. Beard: He has had real success and brought two different programs up in level. He is the only candidate mentioned where I feel the odds are good that IU will be back on the national map. On his past, it’s 2025 and CBB is a professional sport. Being self righteous about purity will only hold us back and guarantee we remain mediocre. The last of those dusty banners says 1987.

2. McCollum: unlike Beard, this could be a total failure. Archie 2.0 possibility. That is my concern, but he’s young, can coach, and at least provides hope. It’s high risk high reward.

3. No one else. Brownell or McDermott or Brey are incredibly uninspiring hires. It’s going to a great restaurant and ordering white bread toast. I’ve been a casual fan for over a decade now because IU quit caring about basketball and I decided to do the same. Hire one of these type of guys and that won’t change for me.
I think Indiana needs to blaze a trail within college basketball. So I submit a pick that FarvaisFineNowinGooglyGoo will love:

You missed my point that winning would have made all that moot.

He didn't win enough. Therefore, that shit is amplified.

Then why are crimson cashmere shawl-collared cardigans, with a white IU logo on the left breast, appearing on-line?

You got the $13,000,000, the big house in Carmel and the helicopter to get you back and forth, didn’t you?

I know you wrote that first sentence in jest, but think how great it would be to have one of those to wear in the winter during IU basketball season?

Comfort wear for old grads looks like an untapped market.

I've found only two IU cardigans. And one of them looks like a contestant for a bad sweater party. Old ass alumni need something other than the latest athletic wear or street people looking sweatshirts
