EAT IT DAN

Start a non-Stevens thread of your own if it bothers you that much.

It digs at me whenever we play at Delta and see his jersey hanging up in their gym. Such a major what-if.

It's bologna you simpleton!

For what it's worth Isaac has been here almost a year and Crone since 2016.

You were a strong-willed child I have no doubt. Always up for conflict and often missing the point. I wasn't talking about fandom. I was talking about leaving people alone. But again, you're hellbent on conflict and still missing the point (or manipulating it as best you can) so I'll hand you back your own words again. "Just stop."

My wishful thinking scenario is Stevens is actually punking Goodman knowing he'd be chomping at the bit to put that statement out to IU fans. He worded it vaguely and when he takes the job he can just say he wasn't a candidate at that particular time, then Indiana came calling afterward. Then we swarm Goodman relentlessly until he finds a different profession and fades away into obscurity. But in reality a duck is usually a duck and its very possible Option 1 is no longer an option. Time will tell.

And did you even read THAT post? I've never bought into Stevens. It was always slim at best, like I said. I'm not sure that's believing in fairy tales, but I do believe there are perpetually sour people. You're so damn focused on fighting with people you make things more difficult than they need to be. Like you said earlier: "I root for IU. Don't overthink this." WE root for IU. All of us. There are different paths to success and different views on how we're going to get there. Don't overcomplicate this. However this hire turns out it's going to land us in a better position than the one we're currently dealing with. People are free to speculate however they wish until we have our answer.

You in no way addressed my post but took it as yet another opportunity to talk down to someone. Imagine. I was basically asking the three of you what is wrong with other people believing differently than you? For the record you haven't seen me post one thing pumping up Stevens to IU. I also believe it to have been a slim possibility. But I'm sure not showing up to crap on other people's opinions, and do you understand why?

My my....it tracks so well.

I've probably missed it since this place is a cluster, but who is your preferred candidate? And you can't say Mike Woodson.

Well then they need to apply for disability because they are 100% blind if they think someone else can walk in here and be worse than Mike Woodson.

@bobknightsghost, @AH1971, and @Truthhurts, Why are you so passionate about what OTHER PEOPLE choose to believe? As soon as people start discussing anything regarding Brad Stevens with even the tiniest sliver of positivity you guys are on top of them faster than a $5 hooker. You show up with condescension, trying to shame people for their own opinions. We're all working with the same information here, as far as being an average forum member is concerned. We all interpret things our own way, even you two. Your commitment to changing everyone's mind is top tier, but also weird. And a little sad.

He can stay.

Tell him we all know what he really wanted to say about Myles Rice in the last 2 minutes of the game.

Do not pass the ball to Rice.

Holy shib

Use your brain, Rice.

Not just a bad shot, but like a BAD. SHOT. More broken than normal, on top of just a bad decision.

That's a better picture of Mick than what I shared this morning.

I actually thought about bouncing his name here in December but I figured there wouldn't be much support.

He gets shooters and keeps them shooting. Sign me up.

We've seen that here before, so who's to say it wouldn't work...

Just hire him and be done with it. If he succeeds, we'll call him Smeagol. If he fails, he's Gollum.
