Don’t tell anybody I heard Tracy was looking at horse farms on 37. Let’s keep that on the down low.

The real question is "Can we get to 2000 pages before an official announcement is made?"

For the love of all that's holy, I certainly hope not.

But has anyone considered; that I, personally, would like to know exactly what is going on?

No one has told you? That's BS. I have it down on my to do list, I'll see if we get there today. :-)

We have real problems if a booster told Rabby that IU and Stevens had an agreement and he made it up or didn’t corroborate that with any other boosters first. Rabby says that happened but he could never confirm and was inaccurate.

If you get a chance tell her to stay away from that area. It's run down because of I69. If she needs a realtor I know a few good ones but I have to get a referral fee

Kent Sterling’s promo for some realtor equating Instagram followers to selling/buying a home is genius

Have we talked about the Shrewberry press conference yet? I wonder if he is going to lose a couple guys this offseason...ND Is bad bad.

Man that's refreshing after listening to Woodson talk basketball. The man also is just aware, and while it's certain he does his homework on opponents it sounds like he's specifically aware of the situation at Indiana.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Cronin shill. Not an anyone shill, really. Just pro-guys that can run a disciplined, hard-nosed and intelligent basketball program.

I'm in the minority but I'd take him. He's proven he knows how to coach kids to win, but seems like one of those guys still waiting for a big break and under the current college basketball landscape IU is primed to be that program that can help elevate him.

People say hire a coach for their future, not their past. But the best predictor of future behavior (success, in this instance) is past behavior. He's not the sexiest hire largely because of his personality but two of the most successful coaches we've experienced at IU haven't exactly been sweeties themselves. It's not a beauty contest anyway. It's about finding who can consistently put your program in a position to win. He's one of those.

I gotta say, his honesty is very refreshing.  That interview definitely shifts how I would think about him as an option. Love his view on the 1 day turnaround games being prep for the NCAA tournament. It’s also great that he views the season as prep for the NCAA tournament. The B1G needs more coaches that think and recruit that way, rather than building rugby teams and counting on terrible home court refereeing advantages.

I believe someone told him that. I also believe that no one was going to back that up to Rabby. I was told early in the season that the athletic department was not really happy with Rabby. Sometimes I think Rabby knows more than he leads on, but other times I see some things Trevor says and think they don't have a clue. 

But sometimes I think I know something and then Jeff Goodman shows up and I'm told by many people I don't have a clue, which is fair

Why can’t people STFU?  That’s huge news to just go blabbering about before it’s official.

He has subscriptions to sell. If you have a following online nowadays, you can make great money. 

IU coaching search means his site traffic has probably tripled since the Woody announcement. Coaching searches get us juiced up. We've had nothing else to get excited about. Leaking info/putting out tidbits hits peoples emotions and get more subscribers.

Well, my subscription here needs to start paying off.  I need more info....

A delusional booster leaking false info is not out of the realm of possibility.
