Our Injury Lawyer.

Happy to have you.

Between your moderator NIL and this new Wal Mart slip and fall scheme with BTB's own injury attorney, you guys are riding high on the hog!

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.

Nice insight there

Are moderators eligible for workers comp from thumb injuries? You hearing what I’m hearing?  Sounds like a Hova 10% stake ad revenue lawsuit to me.

She makes fun of me and this place all the time. She said last night why don't you go talk to your buddies who you don't really know.

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. 

I know I know, people just seem to be getting restless and thought they needed a reminder

Michigan is going to say they are working on an extension for may to keep chatter down more to keep the noise silent for the players. May has already told Michigan that he isn't interested in contract talk until season end, could that change? sure, but right now nothing is in the works for may contract wise. 

 

With that being said, brad is still the guy. He is the guy until he's not by his doing. Happy search season everyone!

Thanks for the info. If I’m tracking, Brad is plan A, May is plan B or beyond. May has all the leverage in the world to negotiate with Michigan right now but he will not do that because he wants to roll the dice in the chance that interest and focus from IU falls to him? 

is that realistic?

I think so. Dusty waiting to extend puts pressure on Michigan to pony up, makes them sweat and probably ends with dusty getting more money. 

If Scott really thought it would get to dusty, he wouldn't have announced Woodson's retirement until end of season to prevent Michigan from pushing for an extension, IMO

I'm thinking we can go higher than Michigan and more years if he waits and of course, we miss on option 1.

I know that Rabjohns is typically more vague and guarded, partially because he has to be but also because it pays to keep people coming back for more, but what has his vibe been about Stevens this time?

question for the peegsters I guess but just wondering if he is hearing the same things our insiders are, or if he is giving them and weight.

He’s number one on the hot board

Dusty’s response in the post game really was a master class in putting pressure on his current employer while clearly keeping the IU option open. If it does go beyond Brad, this will be interesting. I also wonder about leaving a job after one season. I don’t know Dusty personally at all, but it doesn’t seem like something he would do on the surface. 

[IUHAHN81 3,309]

Surely if we were to the point where we were gonna truly get Brad, SOMEONE would have to leak that! That's news a person couldn't keep to themselves! I know I couldn't! Haha.

People do a lot of things they don't normally do when your dream job comes calling lol

[Hoosier987 2,752]

Is there any pulse on Scott Drew?

I wasn’t trying to discount that fact, and I agree with you, just merely an observation. But if he wasn’t interested, that was about the most non-shutdown response he could have formulated lol 

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,295]

Guys. I’m 44 and I’ve been a diehard fan since I was about 16.  My oldest boy is 18 and I force him to root for the Hoosiers.  I’m starting to count the years, lol.  We need to nail this hire.  I don’t even need #6. Just want to be in the ballpark.   Have a competitive team that dances almost every year.  Is that too much to ask?

Not too sure, i know he was keeping tabs on the job opening last year, obviously before Kentucky came calling but haven heard anything I've been able to verify on the drew part.

Wondering if he gives any context or breadcrumbs with the hot board. I just always question Rabby’s motives lol I’m sure he is well aware that Brad being at the top of the board creates the most frenzy and traffic. Hopefully it just means that is high mutual interest and that’s why he’s number 1!

He has him at #1 right now and says Stevens plans on listening. But won't know more till we get closer to March
