We add 50 pages a day and 48 of those pages are nonsense because we're really just waiting. 

Stevens talk is really hampering our discussion of whether Rick Pitino is a vampire though. 

....have you seen his eyes lately? They always look red and watery. I'm not looking forward to that when I get that old. lol

Generally agree but there are nuances. The odds I will sprout wings and fly is literally 0%. The odds of Brad Stevens deciding he’d rather be the GM of IUBB rather than President of the Boston Celtics, IMO, is so low for all intents and purposes you could call it 0, though I admit it’s not 0% technically. I do think there is a very small, but non-zero chance Stevens could coach IU. The notion of betting on it really wouldn’t prove Truth Hurts correct though… just because that may not be the outcome, does not mean the chance was always 0. We really have no idea what’s going on - nobody does for real right now. We’re all just blowing different flavors of hot air. 

I'm a little concerned when you're willing to call out Isaac for idiotic behavior but you back up Truthhurts/Tyme crazy behavior. Are you sure your feeling all right? The old Jersey would have sniffed that out in a heartbeat.

Not meant as a defense of Truth Hurts at all. Just a linguistic geek trying to peel back the onion on this conversation a little so we can stop the slap fighting and get back to memeing Brad Stevens into a red sweater lol

Getting caught up this early AM and come to find a BTB gambling ring was established. What a ride that catch up session was lol

Do we really think Otz is more than a dart board option? Think I would prefer Drew, but if Otz's people are actually reaching out with interest that would be quite the coup of a hire. Saw the Big12 arguments, and while valid, I think it is more related to him peaking at ISU given their resources.

I spoke to someone yesterday tied into Ames and the NIL situation is average to poor. This guy also stated if IU made an aggressive offer, ISU would have trouble matching (they already raised football and basketball ticket prices specifically to fund coach and assistant coach salaries).

Apparently the general consensus there is they have generally avoided losing their best players because they want to play for Otz versus NIL being the factor, and Otz has stayed so far because he loves ISU and Ames. Take it with a grain of salt, but I thought it was interesting. 

To your last paragraph, another data point. Every person and sport is different yada yada, but Matt Campbell has stayed at ISU through interest from NFL teams, Michigan, and Notre Dame among others. ISU football historically is probably worse than their basketball, so there’s something about Ames that must be easy to stick around for.

I've seen other people say the same thing about ISU. If we go after TJ with all the force that we went after Stevens, they will not be able to match it. Just a matter of if he wants to leave.

Looks like I’ve missed some arguments. Some of you need to take a breath. It’ll be alright. 

Source??  I'm kidding

But I just can't imagine people actually calling for sources.  Can you imagine a poster listing names of people that they possibly get info from on a public message board?? "Well yeah, I had lunch with INSERT DONOR NAME and they said...."

It's a silly ask. 

Believe it or don't believe it.  We'll find out soon enough

What's your source?

Don’t want a coach who has to much major college success.  Those kinds of coaches are already over the HUMP.
