The IU administration knows who they are at the present time, the faithfully unhinged think they are something they are not. This is an athletic department that was deeply in debt, had all kinds of issues and has been trying to climb out...which it now has. The football program still sucks, and in today's world that is a problematic.Let's not replace blue blood with elite, those are two different things. You're actually wrong with your data...he did get a tourney appearance in his 7th year. I also can't remember a blue blood that had to do a total rebuild like they did in the last 30 years.
You're right, it totally slipped my mind that they made it this year. I just kept thinking about the last 3 weeks of their seasonA blue blood should be able to recruit without effort. The sell should never be as hard. Much lesser programs have had much more success with much less. Blue bloods shouldn't rebuild, they should restockAt this point, recruits were 12 years from being born when IU last raised a banner. Every year that goes by, the more IU becomes a very average program. Less of a blue blood and even less of an elite
I give a sh*t....I'd say the same thing if people here said Buzz beats his wife, or John Calipari molests little boys. You can do it all you want, but don't be surprised if someone says that isn't true.No doubt many people think he is a disappointment. I would put myself in that category, but I also am not surprised one iota about him not being fired from everything I have heard from people there, people in high positions in the sports world, and from various AD's I've spoken to...including Glass. Not surprised one bit. Doesn't mean he doesn't leave on his own or things could change, but it certainly doesn't look like it right now. Much bigger things that were going on and bigger picture items that too many people just don't know about it.
Damn - if I was an important enough person to speak with Fred Glass personally, I'd make sure the first people that knew about it were all of my closest Internet friends.
I haven't said a thing about Crean.
Because I'm trying to be objective and truthful, and not a bitter, hateful, ex-girlfriend. Pretty simple, really. I've had douches as bosses and I would say that if someone asked. If they also asked if he\she was a drug user, had no friends, cheated on their spouses, were ineffective, or whatever and it wasn't true....I'd correct them. It's the right thing to do.
Ex-girlfriend? You are aware I couldn't stand him when he was here, are you not? In fact, none of the vitriol the Indiana fans have for him is surprising to me in the least because I was saying the very same things when he was in Milwaukee. It just took those rubes a little longer to catch on.
I'm sure IU faithful are thrilled with the 4 Tourney wins in 7 years.But wait, I'm "spinning data" (not sure how, but hey, it's what Chicos said).So let me rephrase:I'm sure the IU faithful are thrilled with 0 wins in the last 2 years for IU, Crean's 6th and 7th season. That would've given him 2 seasons to completely blow up the program and rebuild it how he saw fit, and then get 4 years worth of every single one of his own players into the program. The result is 0 Tourney wins in those 2 years. Outstanding.
Uhm, your last 4 or 5 posts....
The IU faithful aren't happy with anything...ever.
He probably won't but he should. He's done. He will never be able to recruit as every other coach will convincingly tell kids he has one-foot out the door.Welcome to 5th to 8th place in the B1G year-in and year-out IU nation!
I thought he was to. Thomas Bryant would have looked great in MU Blue and Gold.Hopefully Wojo will get MU's respectabilityback for the Big-Time recruits. Like maybe Michigan State and Arizona etc. We started with Henry. Stretching it a bit, how about Diallo, Rabb or Jaylen Brown? One-and-doners, who cares. I know we have to start from scratch. Good class for 2015..
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
They just landed Thomas Bryant this morning over Kentucky, Missouri and Syracuse. You are on a rollhttp://247sports.com/Player/Thomas-Bryant-23596
It is beyond ludicrious to think we could get in on Diallo, Rabb, or Brown at this point. Maybe if Wojo had been hired yesterday (like Mullin) but those guys are pretty well dialed in to where they're going.
