I think he tried the high-end-talent route in the early-2010s and it didn’t work out very well.

99.9%, only because essentially nothing is 100%.

I think there are a few posters here who think they’re Red Auerbach.

Apparently there were 3 grand slams in the game, 2 by Oregon.

The basketball program has hired two Carrs. Cig is driving the pace car. I think our athletic programs are off and running.

Not sure what happened, but wow, we lost 24-12.

A lot of his renaissance is the result of a weak ACC the last several years. He still gets consistently beaten by good and really good teams.

Just curious, what has Rabby said about Drake and Miller returning? I don’t know a great deal about either, but I know Miller can rebound, which we desperately need.

Your "reliable source" is incorrect on why Dusty isn't coaching here. While I'll certainly agree with you that we have some dumb fans, that has nothing to do with why he isn't here. And I will also tell you that, at least several years ago, Bruce Pearl certainly would have crawled here to coach. And that's personal knowledge, no "sources" involved.

There were a lot of people on this board and social media in general who, two or three years ago, said Dusty May was “mid major flavor of the month” and that nobody would want him here if wasn’t an IU grad. I remember it clearly because many were in response to my posts as to how good May is. But of course most will deny saying that now. I have posted this here before, but my son has talked at great length with one of Crean’s former assistants about Crean as a head coach. He said Crean is as good as anybody at X’s and O’s and coaching adjustments, but is held back by a lack of organizational skills. Where Cig has a “process” and “routine” and “working the plan,” Crean had chaos. Good coach, bad CEO, so to speak.

You understand it better than the refs, I guarantee.

I was encouraged by the Oregon series. Didn’t win any but competed with a very good team.

The thing is...if it comes down to Auburn or Texas for the last spot, Auburn is higher in the WAB, higher in the NET, and beat Texas head-to-head (albeit at Auburn).

Predictive metrics are outstanding right now.

I think you are probably spot on. The only teams you have out that I think have any chance whatsoever are Auburn and San Diego State.
