Ok. I will be THAT guy.

We finally fixed the Isaiah/Isiah thing... and now we've got "Cheney" instead of Cheaney?

Helluva fan base we got here, folks!

And people here commenting on James "Blackman" when he was with the team.

That’s not the Indianapolis. That’s actually a ship called the USS Indiana.  My guess it’s the same class as the Arizona and Missouri but honestly don’t know 

You are correct that is a battleship in the same class as the Arizona.

Well that should pi$$ a bunch of guys off based on recent comments. But that's OK, we all have our own viewpoints, and that's what makes the world go 'round.

Norlander just published an article basically saying he should take the Marquette job over Indiana.

Assembly Hall & Oats!

I thought we all agreed to forego the cheesy tag lines ("Miller Time", "Crean & Crimson", etc).

It's an underrated element of what may be Porter Moser's decision making process.

Moser is a very observant Catholic, and Marquette is a Jesuit school.

It's a really good P5 fit for him.

If you google IU basketball coach, it tells you Dane Fife.  Is that a source?

I am pretty sure that he's nowhere near the top of Dolson's board... tired of jumping on the "flavor of the month" - whatever mid-major coach manages an upset or good run in the tourney goes to the head of the class... and four years later we're right back where we started.

Just get a quality coach with a solid resume that shows results and lock him in.

Also ... y'all are fired up about the prospect of Nate Oats. Great coach! However, unless I'm mistaken, his current buyout is over $12 million.

To me, that's a non-starter.

Hopefully Dolson will issue the hard pass and it won't be Moser's choice to make...

Lol why? Are you the one paying the buyout?

The most concerning thing to me in that article was the fact that multiple "industry sources" think Marquette is a better job now than Indiana. With all the other bad press we've been getting I'm starting to believe that IU really isn't a super desirable job.

Are you calling his contract buy out a Tim Priller?

They all say that because their golden boy Archie Miller failed at IU. They all said he couldn’t fail there and did. So must mean it’s not a good job.

Never mind the fact it will pay way more than Marquette

To you it is, but not to a billionaire donor (maybe)

[IU Prof 1,953]

Technically, the buyout is Oats' responsibility to pay, not IU's. Now obviously that will be a factor in his financial calculus of whether to take the job. But if he's making ~$3.5 million/year at Alabama, and IU offered $6 million/year, he's still coming out ahead even after paying off the buyout.

Or a booster could step in and cover it.

Either way, the $12 million is a relatively small price to pay if you think you have a coach who can win multiple championships over the next two decades. Personally, I think Oats is that guy.
