Hoosier beat down

[GoldenEagles03]

Some of our fans are truly the worst but I suppose that's true for every team. 

Maybe it make make sense to see how this and next year (that's right) progress before losing your sh*t. 

Just enjoying the ride!

The NIL era has really shortened the amount of teams capable of winning a National Championship every year. It's harder to compete at the top and much more confusing in the middle.

Just excited to see this team develop and hopefully position themselves to be in the mix for something special later on.

The opposite is true IMHO.

Yes feelings are important. I feel this team has big time issues.

Who are they going to play instead? Tre?

Sean will have to play out of necessity. Nigel looks very real but he can't go 40. He might not even be able to go 25 this early in his career. He will have his own Freshman growing pains too.

Shaka should've never talked him out of transferring

Today was awful.  I have some close friends that are delusional IU fans. 

Absolutely fair to have questions and concerns but, my God, some of you are absolutely nuts.

The opposite is true IMHO.

You think? Feels the opposite for me.

The teams might change everso slightly each year but it seems like the amount of realistic champs has shrunk. Idk.

One of the things that was very concerning after watching that game is that we heard all off-season that the staff was really high on Sean. And he was awful. He showed little scoring ability, continued to make poor turnovers, and is an absolute liability on a switching defense.

I said as the season was winding down last year, that a transfer point might be the best option heading into this season. But obviously that didn't happen. So that leads me to ask...does the staff overrate the talent that is on their own team?

And don't get me started on people being high on Caedin heading into the season.

It's a legit question.

Tower, I think the thread title should've been "Hoosier daddy".

To me, a big difference between this year and the last couple is that the role for each guy is still evolving. Shaka loves to preach about "playing your role to the maximum" and I like the concept. Roles have generally been pretty well defined entering each of Shaka's years at MU. This year, though, there are more moving parts and younger guys might be truly pushing for playing time over guys who've been in the program longer. While that might be good for the long term, it is a challenge now.

It almost was.

Or Hoosier leader going to be?
