The thread has officially jumped the shark.

I’m pretty sure that happened with the breaking bad intel.

My tidbit is it’s exhausting living in the same town as your aging mom. Dang smoke detector got me out of the house. But she doesn’t know who the next coach is going to be.

Oh she knows, she's keeping it all to herself!!!!! Apply the reverse mom guilt and get that info!

No, because that was true. /s (maybe)

You know for all the talk of the lack of consistency IU basketball has had the last decade. We are well on our way to our 27th consecutive Big Ten Tournament berth . 
 

really what more can we as fans ask for ? Just saying fellas 

[schoosier 3,734]

Watching this Auburn/ Ole Miss game and would be happy with either coach. Both teams are very mature and play hard on both ends and a real commitment to defense. Beard’s team dead last in rebounding in SEC yet how’s he 8-6 in league play? Hmmm

[coonhounds 10,545]

Likely only after signing NLI and/or enrolled, right? Surely a verbal commitment to a past coach doesn’t entitle a recruit to a scholarship. 

Not sure. i know others on here are better equipped to answer that than me. I would say though since we offered i would assume it should be honored

What if the new coach doesn't want him?  Does he have to honor the scholly?

No, but with the number of open spots for next season I’d certainly keep him.

People can pine after Chris Beard all they want but when's the last time he made the Big 10 tournament?

 

That's right, NEVER.

How about when she gets logged out of Netflix or the closet door has came out of its tracks? Needless to say I can relate man.

Good evening all,'

It's been quite some time..

As I've garnered some recent inside information, I wanted to share the knowledge with the BTB family.

 

As most of you know, I've held a close relationship with Coach Woodson over the last 4 years; be it our Saturday iHop visits, golfing, and sharing coacoa at my log cabin residence..

it pains me to see him go..

 

With that being said, he has let me in on the likely candidates for the position.

 

From the words of Scott Dolson, "Archie Miller is the answer."

 

Dolson doesn't believe we gave Miller the time that he needed to bring this program back to glory, and believes that Scott Drew's recent testacle surgery would make him a liability. 

 

While I do believe that Archie has this job locked up, my personal co-sign for the job goes to Andrew Toole, head coach of the Robert Morris University Colonials. 

Has he shown success? No.

Does he have any type of proven track record? No, he doesn't.

What he does have, is an absolute smokeshow of a wife; I mean an absolute rocket, which leads me to believe that Toole has a shaft like a Subway Cold Cut..

 

This is the type of energy we need to see within this program..

Do we truly believe Coach Knight wasn't packing an absolute lantern between his limbs? 

 

Bow to me, I am the Barrel.

My all time favorite is when I had to come out because she couldn't figure out why the garage door wouldn't shut.  She hadn't pulled the car in fully and was completely blocking the sensors.  Facepalm.

Way back when, we helped my inlaws move.  My MIL had dementia and depression.  Terrible stuff.

Well, she was stressed.  Didn't like the new place.  

Couldn't find things because we were not finished unpacking.

She accused me of stealing her wire hangers.

How the heck did she figure that I had coveted those forever?

So take your Mom's hangers and hide them.  Swap those for the information you seek.  Good luck.

No, he admitted it was a joke.

So he’s reading the board. 
 

If you guys think this is a bit, that’s fine, I get it.  I have no idea how I’d prove I’m not that person (open to ideas if you’ve got them).

Bu really just wanted to make the point I made in my previous post: best to stay open minded about who’s hired. Just because it didn’t work out forever in one place doesn’t mean it can’t work out well here.

Trying to get her to FaceTime to get logged back into YouTube TV is one of the most exhausting things I’ve done. I guess we better enjoy while we can.
