Will Izzo take Dane back?

Teams can change over time. There are few programs that have changed as rapidly, relatively speaking, over time as has IU in the negative sense. Butler could become the Gonzaga of the Midwest in the positive sense. Never forget that it's a funny world out there, not in the laughing sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm not shaking in my boots over Matta being back at Butler, but I bet Butler fans are thrilled and if he would take Fife, they would be dancing in the streets and Fife's probably the coach to replace Matta after a short stint. Sound vaguely familiar?
I bet Matta lasts 2 -3 seasons. He wants to be an AD.
 
That in itself would get you fired. Then the dumb tweets. You don’t complain about your boss to two knuckleheads who make a living off info. Just dumb. 🤨 the smear stuff doesn’t make sense. At all.
Then who leaked all that “info” on Fife after he was fired? Had to come from someone and it obviously wasn’t Fife.
 
I know Fife talked to Rabby and Dakich. I was the one who informed this board about the rift in the coaching staff. You all jumped all over me telling me it wasn’t true, yet I was correct.

Rabby went as far as to state that Woodson doesn’t listen to his assistants. Now, Fife obviously didn’t leak all that stuff about what Fife allegedly did to Rabby. Had to come from someone else.

My guess is that Woodson threatened to take away Peegs’ access for all of their bad mouthing of Woodson during the year. So they had Rabjohns write the smear of Fife. Rabby had stated all year how close he and Fife were and then turned around and stabbed him in the back. Dudes a snake.
His name is fatjohns. Put some respect on his name.

So it couldn't have been an individual with access to the program who didn't particularly care for Fife ? You're convinced that it had to be Woodson himself and that a '''smear" was orchestrated and/or sanctioned by the university ? For someone who belittles others on this board for defending the firing of Fife without satisfactory evidence, don't you think your own theory demands a higher level of proof ?

That's some Ord-level double standard IMO
 
You have no facts either. We are both speculating based on a report from Rabjohns.

Matta hiring Fife would be very telling about who’s speculation is most accurate.
FYI - Fife posts are facts. He did that. And the fact that more than Rabjohns reporting is a fact. You can speculate on whatever you like. You are good at it.

It was certainly an individual with access that didn’t like Fife. Not sure why Rabjohns would betray his friend for some random staff member though.

I didn’t say this was a fact, just speculating. It makes sense… to me.

You were probably one of those trying to tell me there was no rift in the coaching staff.

No, there is no definitive proof Fife did those things other than his tweet about NIL. The rest is hearsay. Matta wouldn’t hire Fife if half of that stuff were true.

So you think the Purdue’s and Butler’s of the world are just going to fall off?
Purdue and Butler will be their usual self. They will make the tourney and lose in their first or second game. IU wants to get back to a Final Four.,

True, but that’s the ultimate goal. Woody needs players that aren’t coming to B1G schools. B1G Is currently the worst P5 conference in the tourney.
That has more to do with how the B1G is reffed during the regular season

Fife leaked info to Dakich.
A player leaked the info to Rabjohns about Fife

This smear of Woody and Dolson is beyond laughable. Reeks of desperation.

It wasn’t Fife who leaked information about Fife, but it was someone very close to the team (and not a player). Peegs and Rabjohn’s have always looked for ways to maintain and enhance their access to the program. Several people have been outed in that way through the years. It’s hardly been a secret.

Do you not realize how asinine this is? Those two programs have dominated us for 20 years. The 1970s and 80s were fun for the few of us who were around then, but they mean absolutely nothing now. I just can’t believe how blind some fans can be.

Ronald Reagan was President the last time we won a title. If he was still alive he’d be 111. Let that sink in.

Purdue has dominated IU for the last 6 or so years. Between 2003 and 2016, IU had more sweet 16 appearances and conference titles than Purdue.

And other than 2 really good years, Butler hasn’t really done much.

Better than IU during maybe IUs worst stretch in its history? Sure, but certainly not 20 years of domination

Butler sure dominated. 1 sweet 16 and 5 appearances in the tournament. IU had 3 sweet 16 and 5 appearances in the tournament. Real dominant. I guess you really are deaf, dumb and blind.

Wanting to get to the F4 and having a legit shot at doing so are two entirely different things. IU will struggle to even finish top-4 in the BIG conference for the foreseeable future. Final Four? That’s a complete pipe dream. To act like IU has some kind of standard above our conference foes that sets us apart is eye-rolling and face-palm inducing all rolled into one. 1 tourney appearance in 6 years. Multiple teams in the conference dominating IU for the past several years. A yearly placeholder in the middle to lower tier of the conference. Never won a Big Ten tournament.
An athletic department who devised some coaching trifecta of great basketball minds that implodes after less than a year?

And fans are talking about our “standards” that set us apart from others? We don’t have a single guy that would have started for either of these teams in the final game tonight. But Woody has them laser focused. Instead of spending time working on their outside shot, I guess they are thinking about a career in NASCAR? Sounds like everything is right on track.

.

aren’t you the guy who said Kopp would put us into the top 4? Derp.

wtf do you know about the foreseeable? Please, give us the full report. Your teen angst stuff doesn’t count and is zzzzzzz

woody deserves time to suck in his own right and not based on the suckage of his predecessors. Is this how you make love, Buff? get there first with something stupid and then brag about it?

I think I was actually the guy who was trying to tell posters like yourself and Vick’s vapo-rub not to cream your jeans preseason over a transfer from Northwestern and a supposed “dead-eye” shooter from UT-Martin to carry the team. You guys bought into the Cav’s Corner hype early and fell for it hook, line and sinker.

To be fair, we watched Kopp torch us three times.

No you didn’t.

Fatjohns will do anything for access. I mean it is all he has got what is he going to do for money if IU shuts him out go report on baseball? I highly doubt it most people seem annoyed by him but I guess he must have a following on peegs because somehow he is able to make a living off of being a guy who mostly repeats information which has already been made public.

The one day I did listen to some Dakich becasue I wanted to hear what the fuss was about he said something like way to leak Kenya. So obviously he thinks it came from Hunter.
 
I’m sure you would have no issue if it were reported Woodson was talking to players about Liberal policies.

no doubt, we should live in a society where we can all freely express our different political views without worry. lol. with that bs statement out of the way...

I am a Fife fan but gotta wonder about his selling skills if he's talking Fox News to 18-22 yr old kids. sales 101: don't talk politics unless you are damn sure your prospect agrees 100%. in this case, that would also apply to the retention aspect of a college basketball team already assembled. if you can't avoid talking politics, keep it unbelievably light and vague. no one wants to buy shit from people who put their dumb politics, either side, over good relationships and being cool.
