RickyIU

Ahh. ....so how is this relevant again?

I truthfully have no clue what she does for a living. What does she do?

Blackmon is essentially from Fort Wayne. Moved to Marion his junior or senior year (can't remember which)

Not exactly my point. More like root for an ending tonight so the lame soap opera and rumors will be close to ending, or at least draw closer to ending. I can't be the only one thinking this.

My thoughts weren't even really directed at you, per say. So I apologize if you were annoyed. I think we can all agree that storylines have become out of control. One thing is for sure: IU has a lot of unnamed sources.

Where have you seen this? All I've seen is nothing but speculation at the very most. This is exactly why we should all be hoping the season ends tonight. The entire storyline has become one giant phone game. One person says "Tom Crean is interested in Missouri." Ten people later, it gets twisted into "Tom Crean bought interest in a company called Miss Who." This entire thing has gone so far beyond lame at this point, it's ridiculous.

I've tried to process that #1 in my head multiple times and I can't - It makes absolutely no sense to me. He shouldn't be fired, but he doesn't understand why they want to stay in the marriage? What the hell does that even mean? It can't be both.

People truly need to step back and try to use their negotiation heads a little bit. My goodness, think rationally. Until these numbers become public, the AD, Crean, and Joani would likely be the only three who knew these exact specifics. Probably nobody else outside of those three. What if Cuonzo found out what the AD offered Crean? What if Crean found out what the AD offered Cuonzo?

Where are people hearing/seeing this $1.5 million? I find it extremely hard to believe those numbers were leaked.

Two things about that HickoryHoosier thing: The options aren't running dry. It's March 13. At some point Crean would have to realize he has to put his name in more than just the NC State/Missouri pool. Secondly, I don't believe for a second that players/staff wouldn't make the trip to Atlanta.

Have to disagree with that. Crean would be eaten alive by K and Roy with recruiting.

Every second IU is still alive in this tournament, is a reminder to the world that we aren't in the tournament that matters. End of story.

Lies. Sinatra and Dean Martin would be the assistant coaches. Nat King Cole the director of basketball operations.

Not all buttons are a RickyIU endorsement. Our beloved son Steve isn't even on my list, but I believe he's on other people's lists.

Oh hey guys, it's due time: I made some coaching campaign buttons. Enjoy.
