but Chris007 and JerryYeagley don’t come off as trolls or liars. If they are they should go into the CIA and get paid as agents because they’re very convincing.

Years of practice?

Pay the man. Would be the most hilarious thing to happen in sports imo. It’s a nonstarter though, but it’s utterly hilarious and he’s a top 5 coach in the country.

I don't understand why some people care so much about others believing the Stevens rumors. 

If you don't like the Stevens talk here, or the faith people put in some of the board insiders, there are plenty of other places you can go to talk about Hoosier sports. HSN, for instance, isn't nearly as rumor laden. Just go elsewhere if you don't like the vibes here.

But to just stick around here in order to repeatedly laugh and yell at the posters doesn't make you cool, sophisticated, or interesting. Just tiresome.

Here’s the thing. It’s a message board. Everyone knows they are filled with the most diehard of fans and rumors and speculation are the makeup of this type of medium. It’s also semi limited so opinions on players and coaches have some insulation.

 

If Tyme/AH wants to be mad at anyone he can be mad at himself and the IUAlliance Twitter burner army that all turned their images to brad Stevens inspired picture and incessantly posted Brad. Stevens. For 3 straight days on the biggest platform on the planet.

 

Be mad at them if you have to be mad at someone. This includes Tyme/AH himself.

 

But, who cares really. It’s fans having fun that maybe it can be Brad Stevens. Each person can choose to believe it as much as they want.

 

When the coaches and players finally start doing their job and winning at a high level people will be less inclined to believe in “fairytales” to stay connected to one of their biggest passions.

Hi all!

I know I’m new and I’m fraud watch and reasonably so. Just wanted to say that from my position nothing I ever said was false. Everything has gone radio silent on my end, and none of this makes any sense. Brad had agreed to everything, that is true, and then that post comes out. I don’t understand it, I can’t explain it, and it almost doesn’t feel right. 
 

im not saying this is what happened at all because frankly i have no clue, but nick saban said he’s not going to Alabama 13 days before Alabama announced him as the next coach. Is the same thing happening here, probably not, but call me delusional I hope so.

I know you all think im full of it and that’s ok, I probably would too, but those are my thoughts.

It digs at me whenever we play at Delta and see his jersey hanging up in their gym. Such a major what-if.

There is a ceiling at PU.  Double his comp and his NIL so he can get a roster that can win it all.  He grew up an IU fan and I’m sure deep down he wants to get out West Lafayette.  May as well call his agent and offer it lol.

As someone who doesn't know any insiders and is skeptical of the Stevens stuff (not because I don’t believe what people are hearing but because I’m Charlie Brown kicking the football) but it’s possible that the heat got turned up too much, Dolson told everyone to STFU, Stevens issued his non-denial denial, and things progress with the heat turned down.

Again, I don’t now, nor have I ever thought we would likely get Stevens. So this isn’t some hopium from someone wishcasting.

Didn’t the same thing happen last time? 
 

Stevens has offer in hand and is using it to hammer out his new extension with the Celtics this weekend. Cross your fingers that maybe the Celtics get stingy this time.

I just always thought the point of a message board was to get facts, not read fan fiction that aligns with what readers wish were true. If it’s the latter, my mistake, and no wonder Chris007 has so many fans. He’s the John Green of btownbanners, and I guess that’s what the board wants.

Evidently, that’s not the case here.  :)

FYI, 

What Cronin said last night about potentially being a candidate at IU (and don't worry; this comes from a free site -- I didn't pirate it). 

 

“I just think it's tough to do that stuff during the season. But actually, you know, the whole thing's gotten so crazy because we had a couple coaches that did it. Tony [Bennett] and coach [Jim] Larranaga. They did it. Leonard [Hamilton]. The coach I replaced, it happened to him during the season. I don't like to see that.

"As far as me, I would never comment on a coaching situation. It would be wildly inappropriate because I’m the son of a coach, and the way I look at it is that Mike Woodson’s the coach at Indiana. Now, that man’s coaching his basketball team, and he was a national champion. I happen to know him. I know Kenya Hunter on his staff extremely well for many years and have tremendous respect for their kids and their team.

"To me, nobody should say anything that distracts anything with them with that. So I just think it would be wildly inappropriate, mostly for what I said, my respect for coach Woodson. He’s over there coaching his team. That’s all that anybody needs to – I understand you guys gotta do your job and ask. That’s my stance on that stuff.”

so find a message board that fits what you think they should be.  I’m sure the mods will refund your registration.

No, I love IU basketball just like everyone else. I’d like to have a place to discuss it that isn’t fairy tale land. Gonna keep trying to pull this place forward.
