Southside

He was on an earlier list I made, but I used the Indystar list and simply ran out of lines (system limitation to choices). Yup, not a problem. Was going to do it last week, but didn't have a good feel of all the candidates. I think the Indystar did a pretty good job, even if some are not realistic IMO Figured folks would love to see the trending on Q2. Q1 I knew would be pretty obvious, as almost everyone would love to have Stevens.

It's a poll. Not really looking for discussion.

I agree. The only reason I can think of, is if they are willing to throw 4M at him. IIRC, he's making around 2.7

I understand the worry, but I doubt Lander would leave without seeing who the new coach is. Unless it takes them forever to name a replacement. I just don't see a lot of player being upset that Archie is gone, and want to leave before seeing who might be the new guy. I've had all the games on. At minimum on my 46in in the kitchen area. That said, my attention span has been pretty poor. I've at least been productive during games. Laundry, cooking, work, etc.. Tonight I spoke to by BFF back in Indy for 30 minutes during the 2nd half lol. He's a PU fan. He was buzzed and called me to "feel my pain" lol

up by 10 early, lose by 10+... i'm shocked

well at least we didn't wait till the 2nd half to collapse...

jeeeeezzzzzzz

Butler getting smashed 48-28...

I'm so happy we've started well. We'll probably have a 10 or more lead at half, prior to our 2nd half collapse.

I know brother. Just funnin'

If I were a fan, I'd rip our coach for fostering an environment where players have a lackadaisical, nonchalant warm up

7M is not chump change, but honestly it's not near an insurmountable barrier. It likely is not costing the school a thing. Reports/rumors are that boosters have already ponied up. And that's simply the way things they are right now with big time college sports like FB and BB. So in short, if the money is there, there's really no reason to stand pat. I wouldn't call it political capital either. Boosters boost. That's what they do. It depends on the dynamics between the admin/BOT and the boosters. So long as the boosters don't run the show, or feel like they are entitled to run the show, it's not an issue. It does give them input though, and I think that's fair. And to be honest, boosters can be better than the BOT/AD at identifying the right guy to "win". ADs and the BOT can play favorites or be incestuous about who they pick. On the other hand boosters can turn a blind eye to red flags. All in all, having the right mix can bring good balance to the decision.

Poor, poor, Notre Dame... lol

IDK. I really like FSU, but think the teams are going in different directions. FSU has lost their last 2 against decent teams (ND and UNC). And the fact they'll be playing in NC....

Duke starting to click? I'm liking them making it to the final.

I always cheer for Butler and ND unless they are playing IU. Glad to see Butler climb back in the game and eek one out.

Yup. trying to pull a ND (last night).

Crean went to the tourney with Marq 4 of his last 7 years there. Wayne was gone after Crean's first tourney appearance. And Dayton had some pretty nice talent while Archie was there. No Waynes, but very solid kids, more than solid for the conference. Like I said, I'm no big fan of Crean, I just recognize he did much better than Miller at IU. At UGA, time will tell. I know he brought in one of UGA's best classes ever a year or so ago. I thought they'd do better this year. I don't follow them much, but my UGA buds are not calling for his head yet.

Yup, annoying as hell. I had to mute.

at half, BYU up 12 I kind of want the Zags to win so I can cheer for them to lose all tourney.

I disagree. Crean has 3 Sweet 16s and a final four. Archie had one good run in 13/14. Crean, after rebuilding the first three years at IU, went to the sweet 16, 3 of 6 years, and won the conference twice. Archie has yet to place top 5 in the Big10, and hasn't made the dance. That said, I wasn't a big fan of Crean, but he was noticeably better than Archie.

I hate to say it, but I called it lol. I said I didn't see another win win if we lost to MSU. Gives me a sadz

LOL. I don't want 11 next year. I just wanted a chance at winning one more game this year...

Yup, but nobody will offer AM that IMO. 3.2 is top 20 or 25 pay. I was surprised UGA gave Crean that, but I can understand why they did. And Crean's resume is better than AM.
