This is a simple litmus test(finance aside): In four years IU has been owned by UW, PUke and for Christ's sake Rutgers. They've even struggled against perennial basement dwellers, Northwestern and Nebraska. Not working. McHoop

Someone said years back, "There's nothing special in the waters of Monroe County, Indiana. It appears accurate. For now. IU harnessed lightning in a bottle twice; hiring McCracken and later Knight. It looks like they've failed to do so with the latest hire. Look westward to Westwood. Nothing special in the waters there, either. McHoop

Drug this out for this momentous week.... Sorry about the format. Can't get it to rotate. McHoop

I'd go too. Free tix to #1 vs. #5. Half a day drive. Why not? McHoop

Clearly, the L'vull game put UNC over the top............ McHoop

Uh-huh..... Makes complete and total sense.... McHoop

Bet you have "STUPID" stamped on your forehead, right? McHoop

I believe you're wrong in one regard..... and this should hearten everyone.... Think about how close Center Grove is to Bloomington. Additionally, think about the conference and locality of games on their schedule. Now.... harken back to Romeo's senior year. Remember all the IU players and coaches who attended his games? I'm no insider but expect a repeat performance this season at CG. It will be really tough for MSU and UCLA to match this love; unless you consider Sam Alford in the crowd as competition. McHoop

I've been holding on to a Founder's KBS for this evening. It appears I will savor it with glee. McHoop

Whistling whilst passing the graveyard........ McHoop

Essentially correct. He is a bitter, turd of a Knight apologist. I believe he belonged to Gojko's Hoop Loops site. His old handle was Ducati. McHoop

This is a lonely voice at odds with ever-increasing evidence to the contrary. Again, I'm totally chill with where IU is currently positioned regarding RL. McHoop

No. Relax. Pop a cold one.. McHoop

Some of this **** is literally LOL. Especially the Vandy dorm business. Makes me wonder how old some folks are around here. This is middle school ****. And you're off-base with "no one knows anything." Maybe the majority of people on these boards don't. However, rest assured, there are small but significant bits of information out there acquired directly from those in the know that are and continue to be overwhelmingly positive for IU. Everybody just chill, enjoy the weekend, watch some good hoops and know that better things are ahead. Finally, I've never "ignored" a poster until this a.m. Same old gloom and doom, song and dance is intolerable to me. McHoop

Slim. And slim just left town.... McHoop

Not that it matters re: RL but for the life of me, I can't fathom why any coach who is currently in a good place, would entertain going to UL right now. McHoop

I'm pretty confident we can all relax and look forward to bigger and better things next year... McHoop

"And I'll still stay, to have thee forget, Forgetting any other home but this...." McHoop

And Garland would end up holding the shitbag...... Unfortunate. McHoop

Louisville fans and media are "whistling while passing the graveyard" if they think all they have to worry about is getting a new coach..... NCAA is far from done with that program. No matter who takes over. Including the pope. McHoop

Gents, I don't think it can be over-stated how positive it is for IU, that RL is planning on announcing locally rather than at Atlanta. I can't help but feel some folk with their short attention spans allow their emotions to be whip-sawed around based upon the latest nugget of rumor/innuendo/connect-the-dots, etc. In addition, I learned about a week ago from someone intimately involved in the local AAU scene that his contacts were telling him it was IU and went so far as to suggest "don't worry about having false hopes dashed." Do I personally know RL is heading to IU? No. However, based upon what I've read and been told, I feel pretty confident. McHoop

You can also see the remainder of the tournament games via ROKU by "subscribing" to IHSAA TV. It's a free channel. I watched the NA-FC championship game and the quality was pretty decent. McHoop

The notion that Austin Etherington knows something about a New Albany high schooler's intentions is laughable, IMHO. Here's one..... I have it on good authority that V Oladipo talks with Romeo regularly and says he is IU bound. See how this chit works? McHoop
