Ha-ha Badgers, enjoy the trip home. Remember you can't spell "Big-boned girls with cankles" without Wisconsin.

Yeah, I hate the SEC too, but not as much as Pitinio. I want to hate him more than I do, but am at my hatred capacity with him. He's such a despicable rat bastard.

How bizarre that I am cheering for a John Calipari coached team! Can't recall if that has ever happened before.

Not sure the best place to put this: Link "Louisville Ready to Spend up to $10M in Transfer Portal for 2025 Roster"

So now he knows what's going on?

Yep, I wouldn't mind Cupps as an 8-10mpg bench guy. If that doesn't fit with the new roster then I wish him the best, as he has always seemed to give it all for the team. However, at this point I think Goode is the only one that would return/be asked back, and he's a long-shot apparently.

True. The main tradition to keep is winning. Others are Candy-stripes, William Tell time-out, etc. But absolutely no reason to try to force anything else, especially staff. I want Hulls, Calbert, Korey etc IF they are the best fit for the job. If not? Cut em loose. They will always be Hoosiers, but that doesn't mean they deserve to be on payroll. If non-Indiana guys don't "get it" then they are stupid and shouldn't be on the staff. Get the best/right staff and players to win. We can get picky about details after re-establishing IU as the best program in the Big 18. (Izzo & MSU can suck a big green one.)

No, Council Bluffs, IA, just a few mins from Creighton's campus.

I don't feel rejected, I never thought Stevens was coming and wasn't upset about it. I made a few comments to that effect, but that is all completely irrelevant now. IU has a coach.

Harsh, but accurate. Did you hear about the huge tornado that ravaged West Virginia? It caused $4,000,000 in improvements.

I know this is in jest, and Brad has to do what he thinks is best for himself. However, I am an IU fan, so I say Brad can shove a basketball right up his Mass-hole as far as I'm concerned. I want people that want to be at Indiana University, not some prissy NBA weiner that was always a bridesmaid as a coach, so ran and hid in the front office.

I would say all the big names are too old (Pearl/Few.) The next tier of popular names are drunks and/or major @$$-holes (Beard/Wade.) After that are losers (Collins/Brownell.) DD was not on my very short list, but appears to be a genuine college b-ball coach, which is more than we can say for our last couple of stiffs at IU. After that, I would probably say something exceptionally insulting and inflammatory about the former Ill & Purdue players physical relationship with their mothers.

In fairness all the media outlets and writers are trumpeting that he's a "top candidate." I'd rather keep Woodson than bring in Brownell. Not hyperbole, he's just a total dork

I'd take Collins all day if those are the only 2 options. Brownell is the definition of "meh." Has put together a nice couple of seasons, but he is who his record says he is. Not a late bloomer, an average coach. If he'd been born in another state no one would even consider him, nor should they. He should stay right where he is.

Ted Williams would like a word with you. And Rickey is busy decomposing.
