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

QB got you covered, my man. 

Shake Shack sound good?

Unless it is coming from a horse's mouth will it matter.  LOL

Talking to a big dog on a horse farm can only mean one thing....

You’re right the HH collective is shady.  It’s a zero transparency slush fund for those two with no oversight or financial controls — put simply they almost certainly skim from it despite claiming every dollar goes to IU athletes.

If anyone wants to give to NIL please go to Hoosiers Connect for a collective with proper oversight and professional operations.

yes, lots of drinking.

 

If they talk back then you have reached the goal from part one.  Lots of drinking.

Welcome! Even just based on the name I'll say we won the trade for ScottyR.

I commend you for being 27 and somehow still being a fan. I mean you were what 4 the last time we made it to a F4? Good on you

34 here. Born in 90. Grew up in Kentuckiana so been in the thick of the college basketball world from the beginning. 2002 run really solidified my fandom as a kid and I've been chasing that high ever since. lol.

Bingo. It's not established as a 501(c)3 and Eric is almost certainly paying himself a nice salary to "administer" the collective. It's gross.

Thanks for the welcome.

Wanted to share some data I put together using Torvik. Here are the rankings for a bunch of the coaches I've seen mentioned for the IU job among *active* coaches across 3 time frames: since the 07-08 season (as far back as Torvik goes), since the 21-22 season (NIL era, also since Woodson was hired) and this season. Lots of caveats apply: this is just team efficiency and doesn't take into account tournament success for example. Also, I pulled this data across the past week or so and the rankings may have shifted very slightly.

Yeah dude those guys are weird.

Loved their interview with Crean, 100% because of Crean. They get some good guests. But that's pretty much the only positive about them. Can't stand their antics, and Eric gets way too weird on the boards. I don't know why Rabby wants them affiliated with Peegs.

They should never have been given the access to the program that they were, and I hope that with the next head coach they are kept at arm's length. For everyone's sake.

 Eric was throwing a little hissy fit about Mgbako the other night after the Purdue game basically saying he hopes the new coach kicks him to the curb and saying hes bad for the program both on and off the court. And they aren't re-upping his deal and he was getting blasted for it LOL was a little cringe for my taste I get they get paid but still a 19 year old kid who is gonna have ups and downs playing college hoops thats just my opinion.

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 could be wrong, but I don’t remember anyone requesting information that BS isn’t coming UNTIL people had it shoved in their faces.

If you’re going to lecture about people believing without evidence but don’t provide proof yourself, you’re asking for blowback. Besides, this is a FREE message board. What the hell - why not let people dream until we actually find out who the coach is, Brad Stevens or not?

Rabby's made his bed with them and he's suffering the consequences now. Totally frozen out of the athletic department source-wise. He still gets some good recruiting info because of his ties to the in-state AAU and HS circuit. He's toast otherwise and the frustration is starting to show on his board.
