i know. my point is you're worrying about wasting a half decade when i have wasted 30 years

OMG - damn glad I wasn't taking a sip of my beer! Would have snorted it out my nose!!
I started following IU basketball back in 1961. Been thru good times & bad times. Definitely not one of the good times right now but not even close to the worst but I don't consider all those years wasted.
I still think CAM can take IU basketball back to a national prominence but it's going to take time & a team made up entirely of his recruits. If he shows he can't do it with "his" players then it will be time to move on but until then I'll support him as the coach. One thing I don't want to go thru is another 9 years like we had under Crean.

This is inexcusable. We’re a couple last second shots away from being .500. Purdue is not a very good team.
Time to seriously start thinking about a change. Next year will be much worse.

Yeah, a lot of losses lately. This is increasingly on Archie. How do the slow starts not fall on him?
Making the tourney is no sure thing. We'll do well to be .500 in conference and a first round loss in the Big 10 tourney and it will be hello NIT. Not good!
Unfortunately, I don't really see more than 1 win in the next 5-6 games. Maybe at Rutgers. I think we win 6 conference games total
Would UK, UNC, Kansas etc be “patient” and put up with this?
We all know that answer.
If we want to win like the big boys we need to start acting like a big boy.
Cut bait and pay up. It’s what a real blue blood would do.

even through the internet, i can feel your testosterone #s rise as you post this whack bravado shit. that nebraska loss has really made it your week to shine. do your thing, fpsy!
Excuse makers, this is your thread to post in. It should be 10 pages deep by now. Let's go!
Do any of those schools count? Kansas buys players. Proven in court and yet no punishment. UNC had an entire athletic department cheat to compete. Pathetic.
The Falzon kid had fresh legs from only scoring 6 points in 2 games all season and our guys have logged lots of minutes.
Im reading/hearing now that Race will help Archie because he’s an Archie ‘type of guy’ - plays hardnosed defense, can shoot and rebound, and isnt afraid to ‘put a body’ on a guy...
Glad to hear that ‘help is on the way!’

Help is on the way. And if hunter is half of what people are hyping him up to be then he will be a starter from day one and a 25-35 minute per game guy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Thought I’d try to pump the brakes on this hype train before it becomes another “Romeo’s here! Final Four here we come!” situation.
Nope...you didnt read the thread title...only excuses/blame on others, for Archie not winning welcome here...
So the ‘brakes on’ Hunter or any others need to wait til IU has inexplicable losses with those guys...
Right now those guys are providing the Archie Apologists with some bravado in their steadfast defense of Archie...
You want to comment clearly on why you are already certain that Miller can't get the job done?
Geez - running out of defenses of the new coach already?
IU loses to Rutgers tonight for 7 in a row...how will you defend loss #8 vs Mich St?
MSU is w/out a top player, so there’s that...
Not sure if you caught it or not, but Rutgers has a player who's dad was an NBA all-star. IU doesn't have a single player with an NBA pop.
How about this - you find any defense youve made...and that will save me the time.
Any defense at all will do...
