I wish and believe the portal shouldn't be allowed to open before the National Championship game.

Yes, if MSU was a better 3pt shooting team, they would have won by 20+. We have shown all season we can’t guard the 30th line and the zone only magnifies that if the other team can hit a decent percent.

2 days to go to get your poll replies in.

I can’t tell with the vagueness, was it for the good or negative?

141 responses so far. I appreciate everyone taking a few minutes to do this. It has been refreshing to see it this way as opposed to the back and forth talk.

Everyone, we have several days/weeks left until anything gets closer to a resolution I think. To get us through, maybe we need a schedule. That way some people can actually get our work done and only visit during their preferred times. Sorry Chris, you are still required to refresh every 5 minutes to answer questions that you already answered 5 pages back for the 5th time because no one wants to go back and read the 20 pages that just posted in the last hour.

Speaking of processes........ where has our resident BoT member been? (I'm still a few pages behind this morning if she surfaces in the next 5 pages)

But the point of the poll is whether you would approve of the hire. Not if you think he is coming or not. If the stars aligned and they were hired, would you be ok with it or disapprove of it.

I want no part of Shaka in any way, shape or form. I cannot stand that guy one iota. So I would disapprove of the hire.

I started on the original Hoosier Nation site, I think it was still called that around the time of the whole Sampson firing and then when there was a rift on the site with members and owners, following the late milehi and others to the spin off new board which I think eventually became the 247 board until it got bought by Peegs, I think? Now I am on the new Hoosier Sports Nation site and here but mostly here after Colonial Crester and Milehi sadly passed away. Screen name has always been the same I think.

Thanks all. I downloaded an ad blocker for Safari and the ads are gone. Hope it’s not a trial version. Thanks again.

I don’t care about having ads, I get it, need to make money to support the site but it’s that they are popping up on my screen every time I touch the screen it seems. I don’t recall it being this bad before today. I didn’t know if something happened with the site today or something? Thanks for the replies all. And yes I do realize that was actually what my first sentence said but I really just meant so many or the technical type of ads (not content, I know you have no control over that).

Moderators? Any help or advice?

I’ll put it together when this poll ends.

Is there a way you can get rid of ads. Every single click I’m getting a fricken ad pop up or drop down window from the top of the screen. It’s becoming very annoying. I don’t remember this being an issue before today or even last week. It pops up on the full screen and I have to dismiss it every time. It’s not like your normal embedded ad(s) that show up on the page like between posts or at the end or whatnot.

I’ll be happy to do another 20 as a part 2 but I need a few more names. Buzz Williams is already on the first list. But I can use the other names plus the one mentioned in the next post as well. That gets me to about 15, just need 5 more.

If you have not done so already and wouldn't mind, please head over to the Poll thread and answer the poll questions. Thank you in advance! Also, thank you to those who have voted already.

Ha ha, he was one of the next few that I was going to add if I had room.

Ha ha. I was limited to 20 so that wouldn't work, LOL

In my analysis of this I am considering a yes at 100%, neutral at 50% and no at 0% approval rating when I total up the results.

Which name?

Its at the beginning of this thread, the poll. It could be a Tapatalk thing/issue to?

I tried to make it to where its not about the excitement level of each coach. That's really hard to take out of it though unfortunately.

This is exactly what I was wanting to see. We have all the back and forth but that it tends to come from a select few which can sway what the actually feeling of the majority really is. I think some are really "delusional" about how others feel about certain candidates.

No problem. I thought it would give an interesting aspect of this and something to reference or discuss to pass the time of the next several weeks. I was considering doing a part 2 because there are a few other names I'd be interested in knowing the results to. Some of these names are a little more obscure or maybe not as realistic as some of the ones above, but if it got past this original group of 20 candidates, I think I might be a little concerned. However, if I added these names, some of them would require a 4th option of "Who?" Other names left off of this because I was limited to 20 options above.
