    Colts / NFL Game Thread

    Wait - I thought they said a couple weeks back that he WAS throwing footballs now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Colts / NFL Game Thread

    I am less worried, just curious. Seems we have an asset (salary cap space) and I wonder how it will be utilized. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    Colts / NFL Game Thread

    The colts have a lot of salary cap space still. I thought they would get more players despite Ballard saying they would build through the draft. Weren't there some guys we could have gone after that were restricted FA? Since that has not happened what happens with that salary cap space? Can they accelerate $ for guys already under contract so that we are not struggling to resign them down the road? It seems that overspending on some FAs is better than not using that so there must be some other options (like accelerating payments to guys like Luck). Anyone have thoughts on what to expect regarding this salary cap space. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Tracy Smith struggling at ASU

    I don't follow baseball as much but could you make a case that Smith benefited from a class of overachievers? Like Crean had when he coupled Cody, Yogi with Oladipo and a strong core of Hulls, CWat and Will maybe Smith benefited from the Scwarb, Travis group and made his coaching look better Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  6. College basketball teams can change so quickly that waiting makes sense for the player. Transfers, kids going to the NBA, coaches leaving, and now you have FBI issues. Let's say he was leaning heavily towards IU and playing alongside Morgan. If Morgan decides he is going to leave and go make $ playing ball that could dramatically change his opinion on coming to IU. Morgan may want to stay and play another year but if some euro league offers him some big money maybe he decides to cash in while healthy. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
  7. You don't think the staff has a good idea where incoming freshman are going to be? You don't think a top recruit, who is evaluating everything, would have his choice of dorms and roommates? I do. Heck I would have asked him where he wants to live and with whom and I would have assigned him that formally and sent a picture with his and his roommates names on the door. Whether officially or not, I would expect the Langfords know or have their choice of locations regardless of when regular freshman find out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  8. I don't doubt for a second that if he were to go to any of the three schools he would already know where and with whom he would live with. Of course he would have that information for each school. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  9. I have forgotten- what did Vandy do to get on the FBI list? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  10. All things considered, and I am not a cards fan at all, but that is an impressive hire. I wonder if he got the long term Crean contract or if he thinks the penalties going forward are not formidable Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  11. I don't think he will go there and am not paranoid at all. I just don't think it is out of the question nor delusional that he could end up there. If the roles were reversed and we hired a guy who perennially had teams in the top 25 at a school like X we would be hopeful. As for having eliminated them, Gordon eliminated us as well and after a coaching change, he changed his mind. Likely, no. Possible, yes. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  12. True but we are talking NCAA here. They may decide Louisville has done enough by firing the AD and Coach. I don't expect him to go there but it is certainly not impossible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  13. I don't think it is delusional to think a new Louisville coach might make an impact. Remember Eric Gordon? Sure Sampson had more time but it is certainly a possibility IF the Langfords want it to be. And if that was his favorite before I could see plausible reasons to consider it.

    Cheaney Interview

    You hearing anything on Greg Tonegal (sp?) being on the staff? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  16. Well except that Noah Vonlee year. And I guess he recruited this years team. But, yeah usually his teams could hit the 3 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  17. They can, it's just the frequency thing may be less desirable. He had one team in 9 that competed (got to FF) at Marquette and 1 team in 9 that had a good chance at IU. We flopped against Syracuse but up until late Feb we were the best team in the land. So once every nine years he seems to have a team competing for national championships.

  18. Surprised. I thought he would go to Pitt. I would have chosen Georgia as well though. He should do well at a football school. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    MSU....Heat on Izzo?

    It is possible more info gets released over the next few days. NCAA is not in control of that info. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    NIT Bubble Watch

    I thought trustees were voted on by alumni? I get a ballot asking me to vote, or at least I thought I did every year or so. If they are appointed by IN governors that makes no since to me. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  21. Probably not but I will be the only one right if it does. Also consider the potential impact on a lot of players that may be ruled ineligible to play college. Adam Silver is far more likely to get something done quick than other commissioners Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
  22. I think the NBA changes the 1 and done rule this summer. It is a little early since not a contract year but with the FBI/NCAA issues I think the NBA and players association step in and help out future players by allowing HS kids to be drafted. So not IU, Kansas or Vandy but NBA. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    We tried PSvue last summer but the interface was not as user friendly and we ended up back with cable. Did the interface get any better Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
