Holtman has DePaul undefeated at this point, but hasn’t really played anyone. 1st big game is Dec 4th vs Texas Tech.
IU has to make the move. AH was shitty when we were 4-0. I promise it will be a shit show now. Hell, I’ll lead the charge.
We spent so much more than 99% of schools and have no idea how to use them. What a joke
He looks like a very bright coach waiting for his chance but I've heard he wants the Iowa job once Fran retires. He wants it for his entire career is the rumor. Ofcourse he would do very well there while we would be stuck with then 68 Mike Woodson.
coaches in all sports get canned all the time , even successful ones. when it stops working......well, you can't fire the the whole team
USI had them on the ropes before missed free throws and giving up a last second three instead of fouling allowing it to go to OT, where DePaul won.
I just saw looking at IU's schedule on ESPN ... tickets for Tuesday are down to $2 and $5 for the home game after that. I guess fans are not too fired up to watch Sam Houston State. I thought they just played football down there. But you are right Cav ... getting boo'd at 4-0, after this weekend, it will be loud and ugly. I still say he opened the can of worms with his idiotic Senior Day speech and half the fanbase are not doing to let him forget it.
Should have made the change after last season. Oh well, ship has sailed.
They also did not have Quinn and his high priced donor buddies running the show. Quinn will keep woodson as long as he wants and you would never know quinn played on an undefeated team. To him saving his buddies job seems far more important than winning. Plus he has the big pocked donors writing woodson six million dollar checks.
Dolson has NO SAY in this matter quinn 100% is running the show.
An entire balcony was empty for a midday P5 non-con weekend game. I literally can’t remember that ever happening! Tickets on the main were going below face value! The apathy is real.
Could be worse. You could be one of those suckers that shelled out $5k for a trip to the Bahamas .
I think the UM NIL must not be good. One of the Sleepers guys, Greg, is a UM guy and he's very concerned IU could take May from them. Don't know if that's true, and while I believe May would be a huge upgrade, do a thorough search. Turn over every stone, talk to all the bball people you can and find the guy. Don't care if he's older and this is his last stop, like Pearl, or a wet behind the ears 25 yo coach from Army or some other mid-major. Talk to everyone, find the guy, and hire him, but you need to be as certain as you can, that he's the guy. I think one of our mistakes is we've identified a particular target and focused on him. Thorough search and find The Guy.
Maybe.
New coach can always send some $ back or give it to Cig.
Just another reason to have a good coach and staff, to identify the players you want that will be effective your system.
Look at our football program.
You can if you look at kansas. But we have a bad coach and the guys he got likely just came for the paycheck.
There are numerous reasons to want to go to KU. I don’t like them, but they have a lot to offer.
Just did a quick google search and saw his offense (last season maybe) had the slowest pace in the nation.
As an IU fan and lifelong Bears fan, this has been a TOUGH week.
The 80's were sure good for us on both counts huh?
If the Bears can do it, why not us? You could see this coming from the UNC-G game a mile away. A program with moderately successful history would've fired their coach by now. Maybe when Purdue buries us twice by 20+ the message will get through cause that's certainly going to happen.
Hell hire Pearl, he's only a few years Cig's senior and sign him for six years. Then we should be able to entice a rising star to take over a program firmly on solid ground.
Sox too? Ouch. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them in Nash Vegas within 10 yrs.
It's a possibility. If that's the case, my allegiance shifts exclusively to the Milwaukee Brewers.
That south Loop stadium looked cool. I’m guessing it will be hard to get done — not an easy city for stadium projects. Soldier Field an issue too obviously.
Chicago sports are a bit of a shitshow right now. All across the board.
Politics in Crook County. Suburbs vs the Chicago machine. And yes the lake makes a highway belt system like 465 impossible. Natural traffic nightmares in all 4 directions.
