What did I predict!!!!

I keep waiting for a poster to use the phrase, “ I know you are, but what am I”. This thread has much more to do with posters’ insecurities and personality disorders than it does with IU Basketball.

OK, I get that, but sometimes the squeaky wheel get's the grease, and most of us here are that because realistic expectations have not been met by year 3 and it get's old watching them lose when the weather is shit and that's pretty much all you have to look forward to is IU ball

You need to expand your horizons.

Maybe so, or maybe I'm not going to be coaxed by Kool Aiders that I need to

I'm with you go_iu. The timeline miller has been granted to even be competitive is absurd. that said aloha is right. it can't be "life" as you wrote. if so move to fla or az. places where outdoor activities are year round. or follow other sports. golf. workout. iu bball isn't worth it. aloha on your trip rent a fishing boat in murrell's inlet for a day. you won't regret it.

When you don't have a ton of time left, and would just like to see them kick ass one more time, it's much more easy to explain that way

I don't see any "Kool Aiders" on this forum. Several posters who I know were pretty big proponents of the Miller hire have made (by far) the most coherent posts outlining concerns and disappointments relative to preparation, strategy and player development.

The fact that they aren't calling for tar and feathers yet hardly makes them groupies. It's a long season and the Big Ten is ultra challenging. I doubt that any IU fan was encouraged by last weeks performance level, but we don't know the end of this story yet.

If IU finishes strong down the stretch, which it very well could, we may all begin to see Archie in a new light. The best coaches tend to get things on track down the stretch more often than not. I'm not all that encouraged myself, but I'm extremely interested in seeing how Archie performs the next few weeks. I may dread watching it unfold live before my eyes, but Fisch can get me through it

Please stop with the accusing people of having multiple user names. I have one and I'll use it every time to be critical of shitty play or shitty coaching or your asinine defenses of it. Long-time fans are upset, the product is not what was promised and we have a right to bitch.

You have a right to bitch? Then we have the right to call you a bitch. What you call critique isn't critique at all, critique takes knowledge and reasoning, you don't know a damn thing about the game - not one thing - and that's more than obvious. Plus you have the emotional fortitude and rationality of a little girl, that's also very obvious. You're nothing but a common typical ignorant fan all butthurt and ate up. . What you are doing is whining and crying like a lil' emotional bitch.

Isn't that right, Lil' Bitch?

He said he didn't have a lot of time left. If he has a terminal illness you should go easier on him.

Well i hope you have more time than you think. And if not at least you got to see a team you love do very well for decades. Many of us b*tch and complain Miller sucks, Crean sucks, our administration sucks, Mcrobbie sucks, because they do (wink) but largely because we're just spoiled and acting like brats. Not many fanbases, in any sport, got to enjoy something as special as we had for almost 30 years. It may not happen again. We're very lucky to be, and have been, IU fans. We've seen far more winning than most....

Now I feel bad for giving him a hard time.
