I felt the same. Four beers and a little crying I'm ready to kick some @$$. Go Archie! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

She is hot. Can't wait to see her wearing red! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

Well said bro Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm stoked. Archie is young and hungry. Only thing better would have been Donovan or Stevens. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

I wouldn't get caught up in the length of the contract. Fred explained it in his presser when he fired Crean. They don't have to pay out the remaining year's if the coach lands another job. The value of the contract is offset by their new contract dollar for dollar. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

Damn. Anyone seen Archie's wife? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm optimistic. Could have done much worse. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

97% What a clown. http://www.wdrb.com/story/34975780/bozich-who-should-indiana-basketball-hire-the-best-coach-available Alford is less than 20% on this poll.

I just heard the same thing from a friend. Twin engine Cessna Jet from OKC to Chicago then to Btown. fwiw Also heard Billy is in the bag. 30 mil for 5

I thought the same. These are Koch's associated with IU Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

Fwiw a friend received a text from a family friend of the Koch's saying IU is negotiating with Donovan Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

Why is he so stupid?

In the next 5 or so years the landscape of college bball will change drastically. Coach K, Roy, Pitino, Jim Boehiem will probably be retired. If they don't make home run hires they will feel our pain.

Exactly. They even made the same point about the end of Knights Tenure.

I was just listening to idiots on the Radio in Louisville. Said IU fans were the most delusional fan base in the area and we are not close to an elite program. I would argue that what makes you elite is a combination of a elite fan base (check), elite facilities (check), elite money (check), and elite coach (TBD). All we need is a coach. The talent and winning will return. They make it sound as if it is impossible to improve our situation and that it is a zero sum game. Only KY, UofL, Duke, NC, etc. can be elite and how dare we even try. Pisses me off!!!!

Yep. I'm in southern Indiana and work in Louisville. Card and cat fans are despicable human beings. Hopefully the tables have turned. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

I don't get it. I think most of the media just reacts this way to contradict reality and get more clicks. Its plainly obvious IU needed a change and its not like he didn't have a chance. He was here 9 years!!!!

Absolutely. But please steer clear of Alford. They had someone on Mike & Mike this am talking about Alford to IU. I wanted to drive my car into a tree. Why do they assume IU fans want him. I know some do but they are probably nothing more than casual observers and think it would be "neat".

Yep fred said it in the presser. The state of Indiana has the 4th most players in the NBA. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

After watching the full presser I'm embarrassed that I ever said a bad word about the man. The fact he didn't give Crean an extension last year indicates he saw Crean for what he was. Maybe someone should take this thread down or rename it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app

Just watched it. Now I'm harder than a diamond in a ice storm. Go Hoosiers!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app
