This thread appears to be going nowhere just like the Hoosiers.

After watching today this thread is a vast understatement

Yes we separated Kenny and Tom after birth to keep him from the Empire.

Basketball season is back and this thread never dissapoints or dissapears. Thanks Indiana for continual suckage decade after decade,

Why would we ever schedule Indiana they suck . We already have enough cupcakes to play .

This thread is 9 years old and was made because they had sucked for so long then.

In reality they have sucked since Calbert Chaney graduated. That was 93 I think?

It was even being covered as a “return” in 02 when they went to the title game with that redhead kid.

I just hope we don’t become a history book someday.

Honestly, if you look back at their history they are a one coach wonder, much like UCLA .

you can’t want them to lose every game. They may eventually end up with a good coach.

It's really amazing how many coaches Indiana has gone through since Bobby Knight. Like, whomever they hire usually can have 1-2 good seasons but they can't sustain it. Like when Crean got them that #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament but after that season was not able to replicate that success.

IUsed2be's level of sucking went to even a lower depth today. Those goobs need to bring back Coach Tom Crean.

Ole McCracken had some success, but yeah they haven't done much since Knight. Thinking of it, I guess it makes me more grateful for ole Joe B. Hall and what he maintained after Rupp here.

Yeah guess if Sampson hadn't had those issues things may have turned out different for them.

Who was the ex-Hoosier announcer that shut down Jordan in college? Can’t think of his name . Always causing controversy. What ever happened to him ?

Dan Dakich? Think maybe he was the interim IU coach after the Sampson issues.

Before Knight, IU had 2 rather anomalous titles (40, 53) under McCracken, and not much else.

From 1938-39 (his first year) until Knight arrived (71-72), they won all of 6 Big 10 titles, had 8 losing seasons, and- aside from the two championship years- won a total of 3 NCAA tournament games, all of them in regional consolation rounds.


Then Knight arrived, and his first 16 years produced 3 titles and 4 Final Fours. Since then, two Final Fours in 33 years... and not much else.


The years before McCracken were even worse, with 13 losing seasons from the program's inception (1901) thru 1937, and only 3 Big 9/Big 10 titles.


IU was never a "power" program. Just a school that got lucky on a hire. They were basically U of San Fran before Knight.
