100%.

Y'all should be appreciative, not nasty/snarky when people with some goods check in. 

FWIW, I am appreciative that you shared what you heard.

To be fair, I kind of thought it was a post parodying people who claim to have inside info, but I wasn't sure.

I guess it wasn't!

All that truly matters is we won’t have Woodson as our coach next year. We’re upgrading no matter what.

But we could be upgrading really high. Someone needs to explain to Brad that Izzo is almost ready to retire. He's going to be the face of the Big Ten for years to come.

We have donated a lot of NIL money, I have random things I get told to me. Some true some not. I was told recently that Goode has filled out for another year of eligibility that he was not doing if Woodson was staying. I personally gave $5,000 extra to get Goode here (I am sure he had plenty of money, but they said they needed $5,000 more). So take what you want. I am not an insider nor claim to be. I just have a good circle of friends who are pretty cozy with some high up donors and some of the NIL members.

I need $5K to stay here next year.  Can you help with that....

This is an underrated point. I’d be happy with a potato on the sideline at this point if it meant no more WoodyBall. 
 

But hey, there isn’t a fanbase in the country as good at coaching search szn as us, and I think that’s really beautiful.

Blah blah “let the process play out” blah blah. Gosh, maybe you and Kathy aren’t so different after all... Haha

How wild would it be if it turned out that KathywithaC turned out to be Chris' wife? 

That would make for some really crazy dinnertime conversations...LOL

I could use 3k myself.....

IU has had plenty of practice the last 25 years, apparently practice doesn't always make perfect because here we are again.

His napping game is on point though.

Reads that Chris Beard gets drunk at local bars

Asks for proof

Provided proof

Now states a video of a drunken slurring Chris Beard in a bar, on Christmas Day no less, is not proof that he gets drunk in public.

 

Getting plastered all alone in a bar on Christmas Day. 

I'm guessing that is a pretty good indicator of a drinking problem.

 

 

You don't know my family.  :)

No doubt about it.  Though, I think it’ll be who we all want.

As long as that potato can make in-game adjustments I'll consider it a start.

Anything flowing in from Trilly these days? I may have to join during this coaching search.

I'm thinking about entering the portal and going to a different IU message board but I could be swayed to withdraw my name and stay here if you are picking up what I'm putting down.

An analogy, IMO...

Picking out a great coach from the lower ranks is a lot like betting on a penny stock.

For the situation IU is in, we're looking for a blue chip guy to come in and pay dividends right away.

There could be higher upside to buying in early, but we need stability and good yield right away.

...In a different cycle I'd love taking a flyer on McCollum. Don't think it's in the cards this time around though.

Any advice?? LOL

Pretty Weak hot board. Stevens/May/Drew those are the three the tea leaves are swaying per their hot board. Beard is up there but clearly up there for talking points, they do not think he has a shot.

I have a friend who was in Drew wedding party (30 years ago), I will reach out to soon see if he has any interest in the IU job. Last time with Kentucky his wife said absolutely not. They are big into Church etc. and Kentucky did not offer that type of environment that Baylor did and they did not want to move their children... I do not see how Indiana is any different.
