I thought they always did the show from the Holiday Inn?

Is this broadcast on local radio?

We will know how this ends, one way or another, in due time. If it turns out to be nothing but hot air, then we can all stand up and yell - "The Emperor Has No Clothes!"

Well, living up there, you would likely know better than I would. It was just always my impression. Can't figure out how you would breed a dog for -30 degrees though.

I can't believe people put those dogs through that. Maybe it is just me, but I consider it cruelty.

Fashion Police must have taken the day off. Even ol' Slick Leonard wouldn't wear stuff like that!

You mean he's even more immature?

He would only risk alienating the small fraction of the fan base that read these boards. Compared to the size of the overall base, that is a small number.

Well, there you go. Time capsule = Tardis Janitor = Doctor Who

Or maybe, as odd as it sounds, it was Crean's idea to leave?

Ha! As I'm reading that, I can't help but think of a recent "reality" show. Very fitting.

I agree with you on the age and looks part, but if attitude is a question mark, then that should be closely looked at.

That wasn't really going out on a limb, was it?

Guys, I really don't care how many stars a player has next to his name. I would much rather wind up with a roster like Butler puts together, where each player knows his role and does it well. Oh, and many of them stick around for four years. I just worry that so many of these 4-5 stars guys are more interested in playing for themselves and not the team.

What is that Dustin Nance guy talking about? Or is he just talking to hear himself talk.

I have to ask. If you were really an "insider" (whatever that is), would you give yourself a name like "BTowninsider"? Looks more like someone just wanting attention.

I would only change one sentence in your post: "They WON'T play defense or take care of the ball." I think they can, but they won't do it.

He was all over some of the guys tonight. Yes, there were some dumb plays, but part of that is on the coaching.

You know, he could have saved himself and everyone else a lot of time if he had just made a numbered list of excuses, then handed out a sheet each game with the numbers to be used for that loss. Tonight's excuses: Numbers 14, 27 & 42.

Yeah, but be serious. We all root for EVERYONE to beat UK with or without Calipari, and we root for EVERYONE to beat Calipari, with or without UK.

I'm afraid we may all be setting ourselves up for a big disappointment. In other words, that Crean stays. It all just seems too much like a couple years ago when a lot of people convinced themselves he was gone.

Agree. It is like what happened at Marquette. He had that stellar year with D. Wade, but what else? He has done pretty much the same thing here. Even with that, I don't think two sweet sixteens equals a final four. Might be wrong about that though.

But then you have to look at the schedule. In particular the pre-conference schedule. Sure, there are the sprinklings of Kansas or UNC, but other than those few? Wouldn''t surprise me to see a Barber's College or New York School of the Performing Arts on the schedule.

OK. So let IU hire Miller from Dayton, then Fife can take that job and prove himself there.

I have to think the Crean rumors directly led to the Donovan rumors.
