Professors here in town want Whitten gone, if she ok's the hire of Beard, that is all they need to push her out the door. 

So now professors have a say on the HC hire for basketball? We're truly f'd.

It is rather telling how the Purdue jockstraps show up for the Stevens stuff but nothing for the Beard. 

Haha, well this Purdue Jockstrap is all for hiring Beard.  When it was established that Woodson wouldn't be coming back next year, Beard was my second thought(after Stevens) to help IU get back to winning again.  IU needs a hungry coach that WANTS the Indiana job.  A coach who WANTS to achieve what all of us fans want and hang banner number 6.  Did he do a bad thing at Texas?  Absolutely.  But I believe in second chances, and I believe there is two sides to a story.........If Dolson does a background check and vets Beard, then I believe in his judgement and processes.  I just want IU to win again, and win consistently.  They can also under pay Beard and allow more money for assistants to help out.  Idk.....I think the positives outweigh the negatives with a Beard hire.

He will be there again today. 

Is there an event going on at Gainbridge? Or is this picture meaning he is not on any flights that we suspected he was on?

I understand you want Beard. I'm just trying to tell you it is a tough sell around campus. But I'm tired of explaining it. Time will tell

People gloss over the fact that his fiance went in to the room where he was sitting grabbed his reading glasses and snapped them.  How does she have a bite mark on her arm?  Did beard just go up and bite her arm?  No she likely jumped on his back and he did it in self defense.  

chatGPT disagrees:

is biting your girlfriend for breaking your glasses on purpose an appropriate response?

ChatGPT said:

Biting your girlfriend, or anyone, in response to them intentionally breaking your glasses is not an appropriate or healthy response. Regardless of the situation or how upset you may feel, physical aggression is never a productive way to handle conflict. It can cause harm, damage the relationship, and escalate the situation.

If your girlfriend broke your glasses on purpose, it’s important to communicate openly and calmly about how you feel. Express your anger or frustration in a way that encourages understanding, rather than retaliation. Conflict resolution through calm, respectful conversation is always more effective.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, it can also be helpful to step away from the situation and give yourself time to cool down before addressing it. Healthy communication is key to maintaining trust and respect in a relationship.

Lots of agent stuff flying around right now. Lots of people in IU circles are saying different names and some are saying different candidates are done. Scott has hired like 5 different coaches in the last week if you listen to every single rumor.

This is what I searched for in regards to that and it showed exactly ZERO articles/videos/mentions of anything to do with this alleged incident

He can't even get on ESPN 8 the Ocho? It's gonna have to be no for me Dawg

Big 12 has exclusive games on espn + with their tv rights now.  So Self, Otzelberger, Drew and Lloyd have had games this year that only aired on ESPN +.   ESPN is no dummy.  They know people will pay for the streaming just to watch.    I use to be able to watch the MVC tourney on the old Fox sports Indiana channel but looks like espn has the rights.   I bet the semifinals will be on cbssports network

Why do they want her gone? If she gets pushed out the door they need to hire someone who is pro basketball/pro football

Professors are a dime a dozen. Of all the reasons not to hire Beard, what a bunch of professors think isn’t on the list. 

Exactly and wasn't it made known that she was going to place a larger emphasis on sports?

McCollum coaches at 1 on espn + in the MVC quarterfinals if you want to watch him coach in his first D1 pressure situation 

Why is everything on ESPN+? It's criminal all these games aren't on a streaming service that I already pay for!
