I keep thinking about the video he posted. It's a video that is used for a commitment. Why would we have made that video if he hadn't.....ya know? Is it a common thing for us to make a video like that for any recruit that visits? Did he post any kind of similar video from his UK visit? I don't know the answer to any of these questions. It was just odd to see that kind of video posted, which the IU side obviously edited and cut together, unless....ya know. Yet, maybe he is just keeping the same video on ice that UK made.

Oh yeah. I'm not defending Houston as a city. Never lived there but the several times I visited I spent more time in a car than I did actually doing anything. It's just ironic (if not just completely infuriating) to me to see so many of our cities limited in building density and other meaningful, impactful growth so desperately needed b/c of antiquated and restrictive zoning code. Yet our one example of a city mostly not burdened by that has chosen to build in the most sprawled way possible. What an opportunity missed.

I actually love this about Houston and wish more (or all) major cities would adopt it. Unfortunately combined with the overall city planning of Houston being so egregiously spread out and low density, it’s a massive opportunity squandered. But at least makes it much easier to build desperately needed housing.

Lol. This is a full blown commitment video without the actual commitment. I don’t think our fragile hearts can handle this new era of recruiting.

Not sure where you get the impression “we are all” unhappy with how the coach search went. If the portal goes like the coach search went I think the majority of folks will be thrilled with the roster.

https://givetoathletics.com/ For the inevitable Beard nonsense tonight. He’ll be at a program like Ole Miss forever. Even if he gets hired by UNC next season, he’ll be back at Ole Miss in no time. Best of luck!

Absolutely hammering that Florida -6.5

Happy to help!

HMBBCDDV has a nice ring to it.

So Stuhoo can’t get in on those neato tickets?

I think the better point here is that UK’s first year coach who many didn’t think was an impressive hire had a “pretty **** year” in a much better conference while securing a better seed than both PU and IL.

At this point I'm just disappointed we haven't started to categorize coaches as either Big Wink or Big W@nk. I apologize in advance. Edit: bleh...didn't think that one would catch the bad word filter. Good on you, mods.

I know what you mean but I audibly laughed at the thought of “us” flying from Indy to Bloomington which, presumably means driving from Bloomington to Indy first. Go get him Scotty!!

What sealed the deal for you, Brad? “BTB guy that showed up at Bridgestone with no pants. I signed on the spot.”

Alright….let me put some pants on and I’ll see if I can go get a word.

Kind of odd that they had us ahead of Xavier and SDSU yesterday. We all 3 lost but they moved us behind both of them.

They have to at least make the call to Scott Drew I just don't know if they can get him out of Waco.

It's amazing how very little energy you need to spend to find that exact dialogue everywhere in this thread. Hint: It's the exact opposite amount of energy you put toward scolding anybody who mentions Brad Stevens.

Considering T.J. obviously stands for: T.ime for more J.esus It's a hard pass for me. (I just want to see if Hornsby will add "can't hire anybody named TJ!" to his truly valiant efforts)

I will accept no other assessment. So dope.

Chris you gotta take us to dinner before talking to us like this!!

That had to take forever to drive the plane from Clark Co. to Bloomington. I think I would have just flown straight there.

Why has he taken 3 seasons off, out of curiosity? Considering it’s hard to pull coaches from places where they are having success, surely he’s gotten some calls in the past several offseasons. Why is he ready to get back into it now, on a much larger stage?

Do you think any consideration will be given to this win being at a neutral site, even though technically a home game for PSU? I can see this being a differentiator if we are super close with another team, that one of our quad 1 wins would be well into quad 2 territory if it counted as a neutral site game.

This makes me wish his name was spelled Turdgeon so we could call him The Turd. I will not apologize for this.
