Bump this thread when Indiana sucks

When Crean was run off, Indiana DESPERATELY needed a home run hire. Knight was a mess by the end of his run, Davis was horrible, Sampson was dirty, Crean was a goof...I applauded the Miller hire because anyone with sense knew it wasn’t a home run hire.

Hahaha you a**holes

I used a link to get over there that wall to boogie pasted..

Worried that I might start to feel bad for them because this season has to be horrible for them to go through..

Nope! No feelings..lol.. Worst fan base in sports. They can wallow in their own cesspool with each other as far as I'm concerned.

Heck alot of them seem to have conceded to the fact that they should be considered a MAC type program and not a blue blood anymore.
 
must be hard for the IU guys that came of age during the Bobby Knight years to be able to even explain or relate to the last couple of generations of Indiana kids.
If you are under 35 years old in Indiana do you even have a real memory of The Hoosiers being consitantly good or only know of the tales of seasons past?

I sit there and stir the pot. If I threw stats they would auto ban me lol
Ahhh, that's how I got banned I guess. The truth hurts. That IU Scott is a punk. He is 100% against one and done...I'd ask him why there are any complaints with their performance? If you want to have seniors leading your team to glory then sit there and shut up for four years while they mature as he desires. There should be nothing but happiness as they watch their players improve into what they expect to be "their way".

Don't listen to him, some of the stuff he says is cringey even. Most of us just want to see wins, as long as we don't get in trouble I couldn't care less. Right now we are a .500 program and it also looks to be that way going into next year. The holier than thou sh*t is for elitists and losers.

That guy is lost in his own self importance and many posters there treat him like he has some authority (while he abuses the English language.) So, I'd ask him to describe his plan. How do you pull off the plan to NOT take the best players available? Do you settle for guys that are average in high school and you have some crystal ball that tells you that they will improve into a world beater come their senior year? Exactly how does that work? DO the fans sit back and relish in a poor team knowing that just the fact that they stay 4 years they will jell into an awesome team? Exactly who and what kind of player does he propose to recruit? Does the staff go to games and look at the players that are NOT the best on the court and say "we want that guy, not the one that is dominating the game, he might go pro on us...let's go for role players that we know will be great someday." Do you see how impossible that is? That's why a Butler or a Villanova come and go. Jay Wright just signed a one and done. Why did he do that? I hope IU continues to follow IU Scott's plan. One day they will have a senior laden team that somehow all of the NBA scouts missed and they might make the tourney and Scott can relish in his victory. Honestly, IU fans would take Calipari in a heartbeat if they could and they'd eat their dirty words.

No, hardly anyone on our board agrees with him and I certainly don't. I'm 24 years old and I've seen a very mediocre IU program for most of my life, I just want to see them win. He's just an older fan that rationalizes losing with holier than thou bs. I can't stand it when fans do that, it's just another way of saying that you're okay with losing.

I actually feel for you. I have a teenage son, and because he's a Cat fan, we've celebrated a national championship and four Final Fours and watched electrifying players, and because we live near DC, we go watch John Wall play against Anthony Davis and Karl Towns and Jamal Murray and DeAaron Fox and Rajon Rondo and Devin Booker and on and on...and his fan experience has been a rich part of his life. It could have been somewhat similar for you except for dinosaurs like IU Scott, because guys like him set a tone and established a culture that kept the athletic department from doing something creative and dynamic and ballsy -- oh no, that wouldn't be "losing the Indiana way." I posted in another thread that a visionary leader at Indiana would have locked down Rick Pitino in 2001 -- when he was not tainted and wouldn't have been forced to destroy himself directly competing with Calipari. Hell, a guy like you might have spent your entire childhood, college years and young adulthood rooting for a program that made the Final Four every 3-4 years, won a championship along the way, who knows? Maybe even stayed competitive with Kentucky.
 
From here, Indiana travels to face No. 6 Michigan State on Saturday night at the Breslin Center, an arena where the Hoosiers have dropped four straight and 21 of their last 22 games...,

What a blue blood! 21 of 22 ouch. That is ownage. The sad part is everyone should go read inside the hall.com. The fans there are so brainwashed it is pathetic. They mostly say this team isn’t that bad and give Archie five years and I don’t care about loses anymore bring on the next game. The accept the place they are in so it won’t get any better. They actually hope they shock the world one time a year and that’s it.

We are far from a blueblood at this point, just merely a .500 program.

Just curious as to how or why you became an IU fan? Family tradition, state pride etc..

My dad is an IU fan so I kind of grew into it, I also attended IU for college. Growing up an hour south of Indy definitely played a part as well, along with a lot of my friends being IU fans.

The funny thing is my grandpa was a diehard Kentucky fan, never missed a game until the day he died. I never really grew to have the disdain for Kentucky that a lot of the other fans do. I'll also never understand why fans take time to hate a program just for being successful, especially when we don't even play UK anymore. It just seems petty to me, especially when I've liked most, if not all of the players Cal's recruited. They're very good players and really likable guys.
 
I honestly dont know how anyone can lose 8 games in a row and make the NCAA tournament..

Unless you win the Conference tourney of course..

I think the path you describe to being a fan of your team, that family tradition and proximity thing would sound pretty familiar to most of us Kentucky fans.

I'm not going to say I wish IU well, but there is a part of me that can feel for your Dad and you not getting to share in the excitement he probably grew up with and experienced and came to expect from IU with you.

I will also say a part of me kind of liked the story line of Jordan Hulls from a few years back now, he reminded me of our Unforgetables group of guys from the very early 90's.
