Rothstein has been on the Coogs wagon from the jump! Props to him!

Side note: I had to stop following him because of the annoying Tech and IU fans. I don’t know who is more salty… Tech fans and their insatiable need for attention every time UH gets more pub, or the jilted IU fans who blame CKS for “destroying” their program/lives.

There’s an easy fix, and it’s the #1 rule on the internet. Ignore the comments.

Good point! My social media activity was limited to following Berman, JD and the various UH accounts so would browse comments for more info/discussion. Never occurred to me that haters were so prolific, lol.

IU has been irrelevant since they fired Bobby Knight. I didn’t follow how CKS did up there. Maybe they were coming back to being relevant, Idk.

Bobby"throw my chair" Knight should have been blamed for wrecking their program…
