IU has reached out to Beard as of last week. I am not buying the stevens talk. I think IU will try but it is a pipedream. Although we were at the game Saturday, sitting in our suite eating and dolson and Cindy simon skodjt were talking Stevens. It was hard to hear exactly but his name was definitely the topic of conversation.

Oh really? Was he now?

Just eating wings and shootin' the shat with good ol' Cindy blabbering on about Stevens in earshot of everyone.

 

Seems legit.

I wouldn’t mind Beard at all. I’m certain I have stated before, but I don’t not support hurting a female. However, everything has been dropped so let’s move on. Guy wins over 70% of his games and these have been at places that are hard to win at guys. Little Rock, Tx Tech, Ole Miss, come on. We’re not getting Brad Stevens so why not get this guy? Dude can coach

I do like Beard as a coach. He's a winner. And I believe in giving people second chances, so as long as the charge was dropped and he learned his lesson, I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is his pattern of alcoholism and potential public intoxication; he can get into trouble any time and he's like a time bomb.

Buzz Williams is the type of guy you would expect IU to hire if there was no NIL or portal and Mike Woodson had just been caught cheating and the entire program had been blown up with no scholarship players left.  We will do better.

IU has had 1 year out of 9 where they had a winning conference record.  Maybe they can do better but they have definitely shown they can do worse

Wonder how much money BS has made from an IU job opening that he was never interested in?

Yeah sure thing! And the 6th banner should happen before he gets drunk and involved in a bar fight with some stupid drunk college kid.

Then I’ll be there to make sure he doesn’t get sucker punched!  Hang banners.

Win and Hang Banners.  Just do it and the fans will get behind you.

All right brother, I'll hold you to that! If Dolson brings in Beard, you gotta be one of his assistants. :)

Unfortunately, that's true. Our fanbase is acting like being on a high horse looking down all the other alleged dirty programs, but hey this fanbase tolerated RMK for 3 decades simply because he was a big time winner. Lot of our fans even idolized his real bad behaviors.

My wife teaches with Dusty's sister-in-law. She used to tell me some things but she has been on maternity leave the whole year so far. I asked if they were coming to the Christmas party which I was told she and her husband were. Then they never showed up. Their doing everything they can to not share info this year. 

Get your lazy hind end over there with box of diapers to welcome the baby (wink wink)…and give us some info.

Yea before the game. In the suites. Where he goes every game. We have season tickets. He has been in the box every single game chatting with donors etc. and eating. He does not watch the game from the boxes.

100%.

By the way…Y'all should be appreciative, not nasty/snarky when people with some goods check in. 

FWIW, I am appreciative that you shared what you heard.

I’m pretty sure Brad was in the stands when RMK threw the chair.  He supposedly cheered and pumped his fist in the air.  Someone on HSN keeps saying IU needs to embrace the villain role again.  I completely agree.

IMO, if IU basketball becomes really good again, we will be hated anyway. We don't need to be a villan. Duke is not hated because they took the villan role. Lots of people hate Dukies because they've been so good for so long.
