Michigan on Saturday
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
That's not really even a question: if they come out unprepared, they're gonna get booed soundly, and it's understandable, regardless if you personally agree or not. Personally, I'd rather just see people show up and walk out en masse if they come out unprepared. I think that makes a better statement that fans want to support our program, but that it's reached a point of unacceptability.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us win a couple of big ones here at the end... Leal and Galloway want to have some kind of legacy they can tell their kids about... Michigan and p u (at our place) are the two upsets I expect/hope to see...
We'll end up winning just enough to allow Quinn to make a case for keeping his pal around another year... I'm bracing myself for that outcome...
The good news is (for me anyway) that I can still bring myself to root for our guys out on the floor while hoping we get to see Woodson move to greener pastures at seasons end...
If the decision wasn't finalized to get rid of him immediately after the pathetic Chinese Fire Drill end to the Maryland game then we're stuck with him till he's in his 90's, in my opinion...
Boo Woodson Saturday during warm-ups. Boo Woodson during the game. Boo Woodson after the game as well. Fire this coach ASAP. It will be pathetic if we don't hear anything before the Michigan game--- "he's retiring" "We are moving on after the season." etc. If not, the IU admin is incompetent
Booing is so Philadelphia. Leaving is good but so much effort. Easier to no show. I've had great tickets available to me all year, and I have no interest in going. I still watch on TV.. It's like watching an ongoing train wreck. Something is always happening. But to get out of the chair, park, walk, sit through all that noise to watch these bums....no way.
I was shocked watching the MD game.....how many fans were there and were still into it. God bless 'em.
Yea. Pretty good support from our “toxic” fanbase. It’s amazing this staff ran with that narrative the past year or so.
Purdue is the only game I care about winning.
I really can't believe they would keep Woodson. I just can't imagine it.
I'm surprised there are people that still want to show up and pay to watch Woodyball.
Michigan beat Xavier, beat UCLA on the road, beat Wisconsin on the road. More than capable of kicking our ass.
If Woodson wins he is going to do a victory dance like we have never seen. I still believe he thinks year 5 is possible.
Its like nebraska football they show up no matter what. I would not pay a cent to watch woodson coach myself. Probably would not even go for free
I'm driving up 9 1/2 hours for the game Saturday. And I was at the Maryland game.
I'll never quit on the Hoosiers, but it's painful to watch. Makes me think hard about continuing to get season tickets.
Oh, I think it's a given he's gone. The question is, will it be an amicable parting, or will Woody leave a bitter man.
I think he's going to leave quietly and we won't hear much from him. The money people that wanted him here will cough up enough for a buyout and that will be that.
Then there will be the calamity of hiring a new coach. That could get ugly, unless it's a home run hire (*cough* Beard *cough*).
I think the PR damage with Woody right now is beyond the point of no return. He has no support. This is over. And, he isn’t pulling any rabbits out of hats here down the stretch.
I will admit that I was one of the first to say here 4 years back that I had no faith in Dolson and he was a Surfboard Fred 2.0.
I retract that. I think the guy, partnered with Pamela Whitten, has a vision for how they want programs to look and they have a vision. They have been hampered by the old guard and a huge dose of nepotism in the BOT. I think if we leave it to those two, we have a good chance at identifying a candidate who will bring a culture and identity to this program. I have faith in them as long as the other nincompoops stay the hell out of the way.
I’ve heard many say we were simply “lucky” to stumble upon Cignetti. I disagree completely. That wasn’t just throwing darts at a board. Dolson had a very methodical approach. Looked at other “basketball schools” to identify how they went about selections. I’d say the guy was very deliberate. Unlike the swindler Quinn who simply looked at his friend group and did a favor for somebody.
I think Dolson did his homework on Cignetti and I also think he might have been reading this board. Because the concensus here was that A) we weren't going to get sure-fire D1 coach to come here, and B) we needed a proven winner, and C) that person would need to bring his staff along with him, and D) we needed someone who could recruit and coach QBs.
Cig checked all those boxes, and more. The transfers he brought with him probably from JMU probably won us 3 or 4 games. Other portal transfers, particularly Rourke, were also crucial.
I think most of our previous ADs could have been really good, but they were directed/hamstrung by the administration, who weren't big fans of D1 athletics. In Pam, we've got a President who is going to let Dolson do his job.
Having said that, I have no doubt we'll fvck up our next BB Coaching hire.
If you quit buying basketball tickets it will affect your points for football seating! LOL
Yeah, well, that's a chance I'll be willing to take. Maybe I can move up to the cheaper Seat License seats. What bullshit.
Our group has been in the same seats for over 20 years. We've had chances to improve, but like where we are.
I really don't think it would affect sitting where we are.
But I figure as soon as I give up BB tickets, we'll get really good.
I have been critical of you in the past and kudos for retracting those statements about SD!
And I agree, leave him alone and let's see who he brings in.
Very capable of laying an egg as well. Watching that game at Purdue, they looked as ready to play as, IU many times this season.
If woodson it going to get a win it will have to be Saturday. No way he wins in East Lansing.
It's reached a point where I don't "expect" any wins. I also wouldn't be completely shocked if IU won out at home.
