My text convo with a friend who is a Dayton grad and a diehard fan: Me: "Sorry, brother." Him: "F..k you." Him: "I don't know what the f..k we're gonna do now." Me: "I hear Tom Crean is available." Hi

From Mark Titus: This was always a no-brainer once Stevens/Donovan said no. Arch was only coach I had at OSU who treated me like real player. Love that guy.

Yep. Dayton board is shitting. UK fans are saying "wow actually surprised by this great hire." I haven't found one negative thing outside of this board. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mob

They're giving the gag order to themselves because they finally realized they don't know ****.

Edit: imo


I don't know about the other guys, but I do know I've posted on various boards with Mile since 2010. I've never known him to blow smoke in the past.

Those guys may or may not be full of it, I just know Mile has been a reputable poster over the past several years I've been on boards. (He said Donovan is a definite possibility, but nothing more than that.)

I got so tired of reading yesterday's breaking "reports", from so called insiders that I decided to do my own investigative research. I started with the premise that most of the insiders who claimed to know this person's mother, or that person's mistress, probably knew neither. It's conceivable they did, but not likely unless they were buying pleasure by the pound on a Friday night in Bloomington, but I digress. The point is, they probably knew no more or less than any of us.
With that in mind, I decided to consult the highest authority in the land, and the most accurate prognosticator known to man, the Ouija board. I climbed up into my attic to retrieve the dusty old thing, along with several pieces musty old IU sports books and memorabilia. I found the ancient Ouija board hidden behind six boxes of never used Christmas lights, two bags of clothes I haven't worn in thirty years and Jimmy Hoffa's corpse. I came back down and placed it in the middle of my bedroom, surrounded by cream and crimson candles, their wicks flickering in anticipation. I began various incantations that called upon the dark lords of the underworld and powers of evil to bestow upon me the gift of foresight and divination. Slowly, almost imperceptively, the planchette began to move, my fingertips barely making contact. At first, it took me to the letter "Z", and my mind raced throughout its diminishing grey matter to identify a young coach whose surname might begin with such a letter, but I could remember nothing. Knowing that this board was ancient and most likely in need of calibration, I smacked the ever lovin' dogsh¡t out of it and started again. This time, there was no mistake, its' movements were much smoother, more deliberate and sure, and in no time, I was staring at the letter "B". To say I was exited would have been an understatement. Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan, we were going to win no matter what! Quickly, my hands were then taken to the other end of the alphabet, and hovered most assuredly over the letter "R"! "Holy hookers of the underworld; we're going to get Brad Stevens”!!!! From there, my hands raced feverishly across the board, stopping here for one letter, there for another and all in the space of perhaps ten seconds, (or the length of time it took this year's squad to turn the ball over). I sat there, my hands finally at rest, my heart heaving in my chest, sweat pouring from my brow and my brain a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.....and confusion. For there on the paper beside the Ouija board, was the name "Branch McCracken". Clearly, I need to get a new board.
 

Lord Almighty you can weave a tale good sir!

Well he nailed the Crean firing when the majority of people were saying Crean was coming back.

That's a much more obvious 1 in 2 chance that anyone can be right or wrong on without knowing anything. Picking a coach out of a pool of candidates is much harder. Not saying he's not credible but just pointing this out.

If I were to bet all 8 Sweet 16 games tonight and tomorrow chances are I would get one wrong with that many possibilities. Vice versa if I bet just on National Championship game with only 2 outcomes my chance of being right goes up exponentially.

Same thing with the search. Calling a firing is an easy 1 in 2 chance. Calling who new coach will be is about 1 in 8 maybe.

I didn't say he guessed right, he told us crean was fired and the time it would be announced.

I guess he also guessed that Sampson would be fired before it happened and guessed how much is buyout was.  Get this man to Vegas!!

We have no idea if any 'source' is guessing right or has legitimate info. That's all I'm saying.

It's certainly possible he is a true insider but I take everything with a grain of salt.
