P.S. is your dog's name Fred?

Yeah, again I think all of this talk by ESPN talking heads is just opinion, but I still don't like stuff like that being put out there.

Not much, they asked if Alford was a done deal and their producer said he thought that is what most IU fans wanted, don't worry I tweeted them and told them they were wrong. Then Dan brought up BD and said he can't be happy that this is not at all what he signed up for. Stugots then put out the theory that Alford goes to IU then BD goes to UCLA.

Stugots and Lebatard talking Alford vs Donovan now.

I don't listen to anything that clown says. He wants to be a combination of Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith.

Somebody mentioned paying his mortgage off like Alabama/Saban. Is there any $ leftover from that Crean Buyout gofundme page?

SVP and Bomani Jones both have Billy as front runner. At this point Sportscenter anchors know no more than you and I. They are just giving their opinions.

If it ended today they would be #6 seed and play #3 Houston in first round. Even if they could catch the Clippers and overtake the #5 they would get #4 Utah who is playing really well right now. I don't think they win a series and I would be surprised if any series they play gets to 7 games.

19 days left in NBA regular season.......

Know go? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

could say the same thing with JBJ and Rojo, not that they have to make that decision now.

Tony Bennett has had 3 transfers now since their loss last week. I have heard the theory that they are transferring because he is out and on his way to IU What if they are transferring because they don't like him or his style of play?

I would say if that is what IU fans now consider locking up the state then we do have a long way to go. The Movement was actually only 3 of the top 9 players in the state and only 1 of the top 4. I think we should be able to do that in our worst years.

I am going to post a topic to discuss and get our mind off rumors for a min..... I just started thinking about recruiting and Steve Alford and having an "IU guy" While I am not on the Steve Alford bandwagon and not sure I ever will be, I agree with those who say we need to "lock up the state" or "put up a fence around the state" Can a non-IU coach accomplish this? Can Steve Alford accomplish this? Just for craps and giggles let's look at what our team possibly could have looked like the past 9 years and going forward if we were able to "lock up the state" Below are the top few recruits according to ESPN as well as that years' Indiana Mr. Basketball in bold. (please don't hold it against some of these guys that chose to play at PUke or pUKe) 2008 – Tyler Zeller, Miles Plumlee 2009 – Mason Plumlee, DJ Byrd, Jodan Hulls 2010 – Deshaun Thomas, Justin Martin 2011 – Marquis Teague, Cody Zeller, Branden Dawson, Marshall Plumlee 2012 – Gary Harris, Glenn Robinson, Yogi Ferrell, Mitch McGary, D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera, Kellen Dunham, AJ Hammons 2013 – Zak Irvin, Demetrius Jackson, VJ Beachem 2014 – Trey Lyles, James Blackmon, Jaquan Lyle, Trevon Bluiett, Bryant McIntosh 2015 – Caleb Swanigan, Jalen Coleman 2016 – Kyle Guy, Joey Brunk, CJ Walker 2017 – Kris Wilkes, Jaren Jackson, Paul Scruggs, Malik Williams Take almost any combination of these recruits and imagine what kind of success we could have had. *I am posting this in this forum because it is a popular forum and coaching decision is directly related to recruiting.

I have sources that are telling me that my original sources are not legitimate sources. I am not sure which sources to believe?

So it was Joani the whole time? No wonder Janitor isn't "in the know" anymore.

My theory (based on absoulutely nothing) Fred and IU getting 2nd (BD) & 3rd (SA) options in place with search committee so they can go finalize the real deal with BS in Boston. #wishfulthinking

I tend to agree with you, but our leadership is obviously messed up like a soup sandwich. If Glass wants him to stay and enough trustees want him gone then that could be what is calling a vote. Maybe they are letting the boosters vote to see exactly how this will impact them financially? Again, these are all just guesses on my part.

Damn, breaking news!!! It was Jose Fernandez news. I am going to be on edge all day!

I have no sources myself. I am just guessing as well. If Seth says 51/49 and you have one site saying staying and one site saying gone. I just have a gut feeling it still hasn't been decided yet. If a presser is in fact coming at 5:00 then I would assume there is an important vote coming up. Who is voting I have no clue.

How ever this turns out, if a decision is made one way or the other I will be drinking heavily today.

It sounds to me like there is some kind of important vote coming up. So realistically nobody knows exactly they are all just guessing and giving opinions. Here's to hoping the deplorables come out in droves today!!!

I was hoping he was down there helping our new coach close on the sale of his old home???

Who would have been in Florida area last night or today? I heard that is where Pat Shoulders was before he flew back to Indiana today for meeting? Could have just been work, but I would much rather speculate.

Let me blow your minds. What if everything we've heard was false and Glass was ready to pull the trigger and fire Crean and the board of trustees were the ones that told him to hold off? Nah, I didn't think so either.
