There was a basketball game yesterday?

Sure that's why you're posting this. Just like a woman saying she's not talking to while talking to you. Hope you got the attention you needed.
So if you didn’t know the game happened prior to it happening but come on and post on the board it’s for attention? TMP often angry. Bless your heart.

Honestly, I am the same as the poster. Really disengaged relative to games. Not following or connected to the schedule like I have in years past. I used to print the schedule and leave on my desk, wrote scores down, big ten standing, etc. I did not do it for the first time in decades this year. I have given up on IU and Woodson. It’s never going to reach levels we hope for so long as he is our coach. I come to the board for entertainment.

I didn't realize we were playing (life is more busy lately, and last few years I haven't put games on my calendar 🙃)...I tuned in for a span of the late 1st half to mid 2nd half. I had seen enough, so I resorted to watch another show/series I can watch any time. I checked the score before bed like a true fan lol.

Last week I saw that we beat Maine and didn't realize we even had them on our schedule. Then noticed it was in women's bball. It's definitely hurting my interest and enthusiasm. And, that doesn't really matter since I'm out of state and not a major donor, but if you extrapolate that across the masses, it should be concerning to those in charge.

Who is in charge?

IU basketball is slowly dying off each and every 3-5 years to the point our fan base will be like Louisville or UCLA.
Up until 2000, Id have put it toe to toe, especially if Knight's last 5-6 seasons were a little better. The day he was let go, I would probably say IU lost 15% of its fan base. Now our fan base is prolly 25-30% less of that time period with the elders passing on.

IU has to fix this grand lady and fast!

The backbone of Miami Ohio’s offense is Pete Suder from Carmel. Irrespective of that-should be another cakewalk. Michigan beat them by 27 in Ann Arbor.

Who couldn’t look forward to this exciting match up.? The attention of the entire nation will be focused on this game.

Not sure I am understanding the first paragraph but I completely agree with the second. I have not watched a game since the end of last year. Woodson has turned me off 100%.
I do like the forum tho I come to it less often.
The ladies try hard, play as a team, and pull together. They are not as talented this year as the last 3 or 4, but I still watch.
I will go back to the men’s side if Woodson leaves.

yeah man. It’s interesting hearing from you and other posters and us all experiencing the same feelings or similar as it relates to our feelings / passion / enthusiasm on the men’s program. Wherever we are on the spectrum, it’s lower than it was. Sad. As Cig says, winning puts butts in the seats and when you cannot win and on top of it it’s poor effort and bad basketball, people stop giving a shit until there is a change. Last year is the first year I did not go back with my son for our annual game together. Won’t be going this year either and he’s a senior in HS now. It’s the last time we would be able to do it before he heads off to college. I am over it.
