This fan base has entirely every right to give as good as we get in terms of toxicity with regard to how this administration is managing the program. Period.
New Doyle Indy Star column today is a doozie
- Thread starter IUbball_lifer
- Start date
If our fan base is dysfunctional, it’s that we don’t expect good performance. We tolerate bad to mediocre results. and people say, well, this isn’t the 70s or 80s anymore. People celebrate that Woodson has gotten us to the tourney 2 out of 3 years.
IU is a bottom of the pack P5 sports program. the dysfunction is that too many IU fans don’t realize that.
funny. So far this year IU has won more conference championships than any other Big Ten school.
Doyle is a click seaking social Justice warrior. Whatever can generate the most clicks he will write content to. Next year if IU is winning, he’ll say complete opposite of what he is saying now. Dude is a loser.

In sports 95% of fans in America don’t care about. There are 2 sports that count. If it makes people feel better that we are good in minor sports, good for them.
Then say that. Some of us are more than just basketball fans.
You said P5 sports program. That’s more encompassing than 2 sports.

Maybe he is just tired of it all. The guy leaves MSU and brings his family to Indiana. Then they fire him after one year.
Woodson fired him, not IU. Funny how he has the authority to hire and fire no questions asked....but when it comes to him.... he has the discretion and authority. "Im not going anywhere any time soon....I'm just not".
Naw, I shouldn’t have to explain that to anyone. They should know that. Unfortunately, it’s thinking that IU is a good sports program because of sports with super small viewership that makes IU take too long to correct mistakes.
Yeah. I’m the dumb one because I believe what 95% of sports fans know….IU is at the bottom of P5 Of programs. mkay.
Years ago.....this cartoon was posted about President Reagan.....(disclaimer: the media didn't like him...so this was common in those days...it just happens to be a political joke). I offer it because it reminds me of the tone-deaf disconnect between IU leadership and its basketball fanbase:
The president was walking on Pennsylvania Ave. in front of the White House...mingling with the public. He came upon a tattered, skinny, dirty gentleman...who was sitting inside a cardboard box. The guy said: "Mr. President!...Mr. President!...You gotta help me! The president paused, and said: What seems to be the problem?" The guy said..."As you can see, Mr. President....I'm cold, wet and hungry....I don't even have any shelter". The president responded: "What? No shelter? Son.... What you need to do is open up an IRA".

I love Dane and am not ashamed of it. But I have not fantasized sexually about him.
I believe that was a rhetorical question not requiring a response.
I am somewhat surprised he hasn’t found another coaching gig. This whole Woodson tenure has been a chicken_hit affair. IU should be embarrassed by whoever runs this outfit. And not just for this hire.
you know, I wasn't that impressed w Pepperdine. I mean, it's on a big hill on your way to Malibu on the PCH, but it looked tiny to me. It was pretty, sure. But a sprawling campus? No. Pepperdine is the Butler of Malibu.
NB is a good comparison as far as football goes, but the logistics are so different because there are so many more players and needs. Bball you need a decent bench, a couple role players and a couple special players. Way easier to build a winning bball program in Btown IN especially, but anywhere in America than recruiting for a football roster to Lincoln NB.
lol you give this forum way too much credit as being the "fan base".
