Those dumb sh*ts don't even know what a "democracy" IS. Given that Trump won the popular vote, if we actually LIVED in a Democracy, then he wouldn't have to put up with these constant unelected judges getting in the ****ing WAY.

Absolute MORONS...

I'd give them MATH PROBLEMS, but I'd end up DYING and our Sun would go into heat death before they got past long division...

Is that why Mo in on the bench? Serious question. idk.

I think he would have done that if it would fix things. You can't bench Oweh's broken shot, or the fact that Chandler is afraid of his own shadow, or the fact that Jelawhatever couldn't hit a bull in the *** with a base fiddle, or the fact that we have one point guard which is the same as having none, or the fact that Noah is afraid to shoot, or the fact that they have no energy, can't rebound, and frankly aren't even good at defense. This team is just broken. Sometimes I wish they would just cancel the season. It's hard to watch.

You bench anyone at any time for any reason. It can help all kinds of things.

You're right. Maybe it is for the best. It really is a hardship. Perhaps they should shutter the program. We could focus more on football and the olympic sports, where there's not as much pressure and emotion.

I'm with you

What Cignetti has done is absolutely miraculous...

I was rooting for Indiana. When it comes to football, after Louisville and Tennessee, I hate Ohio State third most haha. When I lived in Lexington for 7 years I bet I had 15 or more people say 'I'm a Kentucky basketball fan, and an Ohio State football fan'

F those people, have some loyalty. Also, in my late 20s I lived in Oxford, Ohio for over 2 years...and the Ohio State fans I met were insufferable.

Indiana lost 9 games in 2023. They lost 8 games in 2022.

This guy comes in and they are 24-2 last 2 years.

(Indiana basketball on the other hand, I hope they lose every game unless they are playing Louisville or Duke haha)

My wife's family (on her Mother's side) all live in Columbus. And so I've had more than enough OSU fan 'experience' than anyone deserves. Ohio State fans are, w/o a doubt, the most obtuse and insular college sporting fanbase in the country. Absolutely insufferable in every single way. And, to top it off, politically speaking, complete dunces (my wife's maternal family that is)

This is why I no longer attend the family functions in Columbus. And, not to go into specifics, why I'm no longer invited. Let's just say that there were a string of incidents involving me vs. them that caused the tension. (primarily political LOL)

They shouldn't just be benched...they should be kicked off the damn team. We paid these guys millions...the least they can do is pretend to care. They don't even do that.

No. You don't kick them off the team. You take away their playing time. Without playing time, their value drops. Kick em off the team, then they just go somewhere else and you're still out the money you spent on them. They have a contract. Make them respect the terms.

If you can bring in a transfer at semester break that will give the effort and has the heart, bring them in. If you can't, you can't, but the season is toast unless you find a way to get the current guys under contract to play as instructed and as they have shown that they are capable.

These guys cared before they came here. Before the season. Before they lost to Georgetown. What happened after they beat Purdue?

It's clearly not resolved so spill it. Air it out. If it can't be resolved, remove the source. Put them in street clothes on the bench and leave them there.

Stop playing around.

Btw- this is why the NBA kept kids from e tering the league too soon for a very long time. It's a bad idea to pay kids millions of dollars. Who would have thought there is a logical reason why they also don't let anyone under 21 drink in bars.

BTW pt2-
Who is "we" in the "paid guys millions statement? It's not me. I didn't and wouldn't pay these guys millions. No one in their right mind would.

Real NIL doesn't work that way. Pay for play works that way, just not with kids. It's a good lesson to learn, but it's a painful one as well. And there's no way you can guarantee the ROI in these situations.

This was sent out by the Governor's account. They could have ignored it. But they went a different way...

1. They wouldn't care. They know they would be back in eventually to "get theirs". This team does not have a leader.




2. This is as much on Pope as any of the players.....he needs to look in the mirror. His system, or lack of one, sub patterns, lack of post/mid range games......coaching. Mark Few destroyed him on the x's and o's part Saturday. It was a clinic. Maybe he took notes.

Turns out that Kimi Antonelli, by bottling on the last lap of Qatar handed "Blando Norris" the F1 WDC. Max won his third race in a row, and lost the championship by those TWO POINTS. (He would have won in a tie breaker for having 8 wins to Lando's 7 this year)

Bummer...

Your 2025 F1 champion, Morrissey... LOL
