Yes, it’s currently a 4 year deal

2025 at UK

2026 at Lucas Oil

2027 at UK

2028 at IU

 

A scheduled hammered out by two coaches that won't be at the respective schools when first game is played.  Thanks Woody for losing to Calipari on the neutral site.  

 

 

PS: Before anyone jumps down my throat, I know Woody is not to blame for 2026 neutral site.  But he kind of is LOL.

I don't think Porter Moser was brought up as a candidate this cycle, people were simply comparing his 2021 résumé to 2025 McCollum

Even in 2021 Moser was a weird candidate. This was a guy who was fired by Illinois State and took 7 years to have a winning conference record at Loyola... then they took off and had a great four-year stretch. 

 

McCollum is not very similar. Risky for different reasons that Moser.

Regardless of who is asked to prove their information, reality will eventually rise to the top. If I want to believe information I like without proof, but ask for proof of something I don't like that is up to me as the person receiving the information. If you want to say that it's hypocritical, that's fine, but either way, I am responsible for my own interpretation of the information I receive, even if it's limited by my own doing. I guess I don't understand why people are so worried about the reactions of others?

I saw that the Lucas Oil game is considered a home game and not a neutral site game. That means that IU controls the tickets like a home game. It's possible IU wanted that for some reason. It does seem like it would be better to have both home games  in Bloomington, at least to me.

Interesting, good catch.  I thought the Lucas Oil game would be 50/50 like The Hoosier/RCA Dome and Freedom Hall games.  Agree if we have two games at UK we should have two at IU, but at least the games are back.

Personally, I would have this game in Lucas Oil every year with IU and UK fans split at center court.  This game is special and there isn’t anything else like it, it’s the Red River Rivalry of CBB if both schools would get the scheduling right (and we need to be a better program, though that is hopefully getting fixed).

Sure, but he wasn't wrong when he said people who believe BS is coming, don't ask for proof, but when someone else says he isn't coming , they ask for proof. That is just as hypocritical IMO. 

I think Truth is wrong to demand that people stop believing he is coming. People can believe what they want. I personally don't think it will happen,  but I would be ecstatic if it does. What I don't like to see is if we don't get him, some seem to think the sky is falling and we will hire another Woodson. 

Chris and JY have provided background to information they shared about BS.  This helps makes those cases a little more plausible.  Not sure it is really very reasonable to get many, if any, facts at this stage.  We get stories and then the reader considers those and makes a determination and it should be pointed out that determination is not in cement, but wavers as other stories come in.  One fact we go was BS "comment" to Goodman which adds to this and for some, maybe those who never believed the BS coming storyline, they then have the "evidence" they need to say see he is not coming.  For others, who may think the BS is maybe coming stories, that "comment" was not a definitive comment and there may still be a path.  I think the background shared by Chris and JY (and if ap, and others also had that information shared credit to them too) sheds some light on this and either we have a few creative liers or there is some smoke.  If there is some smoke then maybe this could occur.

@Truthhurts came on and confidently said they had a source close to BS saying 0% chance.  That seems to warrant some background info as to how that came about, did the discussion take place last time?  Was there a vote? can he shed any details to contradict?

@BGleas has a different opinion and has sources and personal background with the Celtics.  He has shed light on what he thinks happened or did not happen.  That certainly impacts the information credibility shared by Chris and JY but does not debunk it completely.  

It is all about the story, the background info, and even how long they have participated here.

Is this Quinn the Pacers Announcer, BOT member, Woody apologist, or retirement planner? Small plug there for Mack Financial....

That's me. I just help people achieve their dreams, whether through retirement or on the court. 

Go Hoosiers!

I think Otzelberger falls into the catergory you are looking for. He has excelled at ISU, which has lesser resources to use than IU. I also like Chris Collin’s but it’s the same argument, someone doing well for their current job. Otzelberger can also be here for 20 years as he is still only 47 years old. I don’t see how he would have a ceiling but Brownell or Collin’s wouldn’t. Brownell is not candidates that will be here for 20 years due to their age. And Brownell’s record is lacking imo. I don’t care where he went to high school and I don’t care to keep Calbert around either. Everytime he has been on staff the team has not excelled. His fault or not it’s been the reality. He was my favorite player growing up but that shouldn’t mean he gets a job out of loyalty. See Mike Woodson. 

Well Calbert did teach Ballo to shoot left hand free throws, which I'm sure most people don't know about.  The announcers hardly ever mention it during games. LOL

You sure do. My only rub is, I paid for lunch last time, you promised to pick up the tab next time, but it's been far too long. Bru Burger on you soon, QB. Lmao
