Let it be me! I'll gladly be wrong. I was just speaking in terms if things weren't to go our way.

Right on, just in the event that it doesn't go our way is what I meant.

So, let's man up and take it on the chin and move on to the next guy that wants to be a Hoosier. It's that easy. We are gonna have so many options going forward. Not sweating it. It's unfortunate, but not sweating it.

Listening to post game with coach, I'm so happy we have a coach that is a no nonsense guy. Not worried about your name but worried about are you gonna do what I asked you to do. History repeats itself and step 1 for us is having a coach that demands what he wants or you just won' play. Step 2....Indiana boys being on the team. So far, so good.

It happens! Very easily. Just shows u care, which is awesome!

Hey, we love our Hoosiers. It's like immediate family. I for one could NEVER not care 110%. Not in my blood.

Don't worry Darius, dad's comin'! Bringin' these banners with me.

Just send him an 8×10 of his and his families faces as they walked onto our court. With a lil note saying...."Cut the ****, just commit!" Worth a shot.

As important as these 2 kids are to us fans, im sure they are just as if not more importantant to Archie. Trust me, he knows Vandys been there. He comin' and comin' HOT!

Archie isn't gonna roll over and play dead. He will show his face again before all is said and done.

Who thinks that the fact Archie is only 39 yrs old makes him and IU more attractive? Do u think the kids feel more in tune with him being younger than a 50+ yr old coach?

In all honesty, we are always gonna lose a few 5 stars to the likes of Duke etc. But under a young coach with actual playing experience if we can convince one 5 star that he can come in and be the man it will help to start a trend. And that's what we need. A trend started. We hafta give Arch a chance to get things going. I do believe from the coaching staff he has assembled mixed with the fact he could talk Collin into coming back that its,obvious he knows how to talk. We shall be fine

I'm personally ready to have coaches back on the sidelines that demand respect. Demand the game be played the way it's been laid out for the players. Coaches that will get in the refs ear if things aren't going our way. Coaches that will get in our players ear when they they screw up. Tough love is still love. Just in a,way that says I mean freakin' business. I'm tired of the babying crap that goes on these days.

Dakich in one sentence sounds like he wants no part of being affiliated with IU anymore and in the next sentence sounds like he is all for whatever decision they make. Just doesn't come across to me as an Alum at all.

"BIG TEN just sh*t their pants. (Chuckles)"

Oh good. They're gonna need SOMETHING!

Depends?

Get ready boys and girls. This is what we've been waiting for. He gon' be here for a looooong time. The rest of the BIG TEN better go get some preparation H cause we gon' blow their a$$es out!

Wouldn't doubt it eventually. But I gotta admit, I wasn't sure how I'd react not getting Billy but I'm actually stoked to have Archie.

And then there is Billy D after the IU job passes him by and Westbrook heads for the Lakers.

Archie saying to IU fans about his hire, "So, u guys all good with this?" "Cool, let's go kick some a$$!"

Is anyone else kinda like "what happens if Ohio St. opens up?" with Archie? Does he ride IU until Thad checks out and then Bolt? I know I know it's way too soon for those thoughts but it was my one concern hiring him knowing we were all hoping for a guy that would have lingering success here for the foreseeable future.

Thank u sir

Have they released what time presser is?

I'm a tad old school. While I don't think it is absolutely necessary for our next coach to be an "Indiana" guy there r big advantages. I mean look at how the outsiders look at Indiana fans. They think we r ridiculous. U hafta understand how important bball is in Indiana to fully grasp this position. There is where the "double check +" comes into play from fred. We r a different breed in Indiana when it comes to bball. Understanding that is a factor. And no I don't want Alford. I'm just speaking in general terms.
