That joker is putting the "pie" in pizza pie. Looks delicious, but I am all about an authentic NY Slice.

I actually made them watch The Wire prior to making them watch Sopranos hahah, Wire is probably my all time favorite.

Lol, okay well I will follow it up with a take you will like. I recently got two of my 20 something employees to watch Sopranos and both of them binged the whole series in a matter of weeks and were so sad when it was over. Sopranos memes fly around the work chat now. The recent college graduates now think I am cool, and the foremost authority on legacy television.

Mike Woodson is not a high major coach, so, no.

Ive got a take you are really gonna hate. I have not had a cannoli I enjoyed. Skewer away fam.

Cripes it still says that? That was two states, ten years, and one country ago. Time to update the old BTB profile.

PSA: I have never traveled outside the state of Indiana or used sarcasm to describe anything or any place on the internet.

I didn't realize that's all he was making. 10 Million in Btown might as well be 50 compared to 1.5 in Boston lol. Although personally I cannot imagine any person willingly living in Boston for any amount of money.

Hanging out at work and enjoying KU-ISU so i can hate watch hunter dickinson

McNeese State making strong @$$ offers it would seem.

I am 100% pro-pay the players. What I took issue with, was that it was to save Woody's job when he should never have gotten a fourth season and had zero recruits. I care not that Leal and Gallo probably make like 10x their market value or who pays for it. I cared that the money bought him another season. I am a firm believer in chasing the dollar particularly for guys with limited professional potential beyond college. The players made business decisions that pro-woody boosters were willing to support, I do not fault the players for that. We were mostly pointing out you could give Woody a zillion dollar roster and it would not magically make him into a good coach, or the coach for the future at IU. So we wasted a year and the rich people wasted their money. Is what it is.

Plus, you know, he also just signed a contract extension through 2032 like 45 days ago, and already had agreed to a top-15 buyout on the 55th highest salary in D1 prior to that extension. Those aren't the actions of someone intent on leaving their current job. TJ coming here is more farcical than Brad Stevens ever was other than him being a current college basketball coach lol

Successful hypercompetitive coaches not considering IU because they are afraid of the "Expectations" is certainly a take. Your logic has gotten to the point of "IU fans should be happy anyone wants to coach this dumpster fire of a program/fanbase for any amount of money."

No man, we get it. We know you think IU is a mediocre job, you’ve made that abundantly clear. Some of us aren’t ready to jump that shark. If we end up 5+ guys down the list, feel free to dance on the grave of IU basketball being an elite program. And you can laugh at all of us for daring to believe there is still something special about IU. You don’t believe the job is still special, I get it and even understand the view in some respects. I’ve been an IU fan for 25 years, I’ve seen more bad basketball than good. But I still believe the job is special.

Not many middle of the pack programs have 5 million dollars for roster construction and the largest recruiting budget in their conference.
