Or that is his track suit jacket just open so you can see the MLK shirt. Can’t tell so far.

Looks like he has finally bought into the superstition. Looks to be wearing a suit but has the MLK branded shirt on underneath the suit jacket.

I don't really know why everyone expects Xavier Johnson to leave?

According to this, posted on another IU board, we are 3 players over the limit as it stands right now based on current eligibility. So we have to lose 3 regardless unless something about COVID years not counting against the scholarship count.

I saw this on twitter and got to thinking about the B1G conference. What teams and alignment would make sense? D1 Colleges by Map

I would doubt it, I would think Football would be driving all of this (more money) and basketball is along for the ride.

So lets expand on that, and kick Rutgers, Maryland, and Penn State (Let them go to the ACC along the East Cost) and just get out of the East all together, so that leaves 5 spots to fill to get to 16, all which can be done from the Big12. Let the Texas Teams (Baylor, TCU, Texas Tech) go where they go, and Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC as proposed in the beginning. That leaves Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas St, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia. Pod A: Michigan, Ohio St., Michigan St., West Virginia Pod B: Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern Pod C: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Iowa State Pod D: Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Kansas State Winners from each division play in a 2 round playoff for the Big Ten Championship, seeding 1-4 determined by overall record and conference records.

Geographically I could see: Pod A: Rutgers, Maryland, Penn St., Team 1 (East) Pod B: Indiana, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern Pod C: Michigan, Michigan St., Ohio St., Team 2 (Central) Pod D: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska With potential teams for Pod A being Villanova, U-Conn, Boston College Pod C being Notre Dame, Cincinnati, Louisville

Since the Brad Steven thread is locked, I'm going to leave this here. I think we may now have a better understanding of what may have led to Steven's apparent "decision change" during the negotiations when he supposedly when back to the Celtics to "tell them he was leaving". https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31552637/boston-celtics-president-danny-ainge-step-brad-stevens-moving-front-office EDIT: Sorry, I didn't think to look in the College basketball thread for this.

Currently Purdue is leading at 50%

I knew retweeting it and tagging all the popular IU Twitter accounts would change the tide!!

Since we started late, we have to wait until week 2 officially starts which will be Monday

I have gotten sick from the flu shot as well in the past and I've had no issues after the Covid Vaccine Shot #1 (Pfiser) and I'm in a high risk category for Covid due to Diabetes if that helps at all.

Same here except got mine on Monday

Fife is awesome!

If I were Dolson, I would do everything in my power to make sure this douchebag was never cleared credentials to enter Assembly Hall or cover an IU game in person as a credentialed member of the press or whatever he is unless he had to buy a ticket to sit in the stands.

Best part about this thread is on the thread page seeing the picture of Thad Matta and it looks like he is reacting to the thread title as seen here:

After the Final 4, we have a new leader in 1st Place with 112 points and with a great shot at winning with the highest remaining possible point remaining at 144. However, it all comes down to the winner of tonight's game. JHoosier914 - 144 pts possible (Currently in 1st with 112 pts) +32 pts since last round Final Game: Gonzaga vs Baylor with Gonzaga as Champs Winners by Tonight's Outcome: Gonzaga Wins: JHoosier914 - 144 pts possible (Currently in 1st with 112 pts) +32 pts since last round Final Game: Gonzaga vs Baylor with Gonzaga as Champs Baylor Wins: Tie Breakers depends on the score of the game. madmax - 131 pts possible (Currently in 5th with 99 pts) +32 pts since last round Final Game: Gonzaga 67 vs Baylor 75 with Baylor as Champs HoosierCoop's Lockdown Bracket - 131 pts possible (Currently in 10th with 67 pts) +32 pts since last round Final Game: Gonzaga 78 vs Baylor 80 with Baylor as Champs The Winner for the Best Worst Bracket is: Rico - 39 possible (Currently in 44th with 39 pts) +0 pts since last round Final Game: Iowa vs West Virginia with West Virginia as Champs

@cleeter @HoosierAloha You all in? (Link above)

Only negative I see with this post from TJD is that he left no doubt this would be his last year by his comments. Although it’s pretty much assumed it would be, I hate hearing people say things as absolutes because you just never know. But extremely excited he is doing what is truely a good thing for his future by returning next year.

Ahh.. that makes much more sense!
