Glass also got us Allen and Teri so he’s not all that bad of an AD.. 

Scott’s career will be completely judged off this. If he wants to win Indiana fans over and for the future, it needs to be a name. A name like Bradley Stevens. 

Don't forget Jeff Mercer. This years squad has a chance at being really special. World Series special.

Error EX144. Looks like a corrupted database.

It's been down since yesterday. 

Actually the site going down coincided with the Archie news.

So what about all that flight tracking I heard about?  Anything fun going on?  I saw on Facebook that Brad Stevens was spotted having lunch at the Pizza Pantry in Ellettsville....

He was eating a Stromboli. The man has impeccable taste.

Hey guys (stu I will be good for my short trip).  @chris, just curious if you have heard on the starting point of 10/$65m?  I have heard that number a couple of times today.  
 

Edit:  Testing the waters to see if the info is consistent or if this is how this search is gonna go with rumors and whatnot.

Steeler!

Long time, no see. A coaching search can bring some old friends out of the woodwork, eh?

Anytime I can dream of Brad Stevens leading this program to the heights I have never got to fully witness I get excited. Was pretty apathetic for most of this season. Lol

A request:

The Btown Banners mods have a positive opinion of the HSN site and of so many of the good folks that have posted there. We are all Hoosier fans, and good Hoosier fans are flat-out welcome here, whether previously at HSN, or if they are our extremely intelligent and good looking long-time posters.

Now the request: Let's keep these threads on-topic (for the most part) and not turn substantive threads into a discussion about another board's technical difficulties.

Much obliged!

that would be a bargain.  I'd go as high at 10 years 100.  He would pay for himself in about 2.5 years.

I've said before I'd buy all new fresh IU gear that day, even those IU slip on's that are always on clearance at Burlington.

Wrong time for that with all the buzz going around....what about Coachss whats he heard?

On his twitter, he stated he has some deets, and those on his email list will get his scoop.  Not on the list, but to get on it text Martha the Mop Lady (Twitter) to be added.

But that still doesn't mean we can just make him say yes.

Unless Scott makes him an offer he can't refuse!

I am honestly not sure.  I heard from 2 people I trust, but you never know during this type of situation.  I do know from what I have heard Dolson is just a confident dude right now.  The general feeling is he has something that will make people happy.  Beyond that, I know who I would go to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd try.  Hard to say if he does since he would have a lot more info than us.  I hope this is accurate, but I wanted to more see what others are hearing to see if this is what it’s gonna be like with info during this.  Haven’t really got a feel for Dolson and what info is out there other than a general consensus Dolson is big game fishing.

Which was yesterday. The site has been down since ~11 or 12 MST (1-2 PM EST) yesterday. 

Sometimes that server has issues with too much traffic but this isn't that. There is another issue. I hope they figure it out soon.

So you're saying he's the exact right person to deal with these ****s higher up than him, huh?  We could have used that 20 years ago.  Hopefully, he has some input on McRobbie's replacement.  We need a major upgrade there.

20 years ago the administration was looking to punish the basketball program and keep it in it's place.  With all the talk about needing an "IU guy" as coach, having a true IU sports person in the AD spot may be even more important. 

Dolson sets the tone for the entire athletic program.  His stated expectations are very encouraging.  His actions to invest in CTA shows he's serious.  Now he needs to lay out his plans and vision, and I would close with Tom Allen recruiting Stevens (or another homerun hire) to come create a Hoosier dynasty together. We won't have a new president prior to the hire, but hopefully the environment being created forces an exceptional hire for that position as well.

Ha, nope --- but read it on Facebook --- i'll have to ask if they called JMV....love some Pizza Pantry but the family doesn't approve so it's a rarity for me.

I really love seeing all the new posters in here. Don't get me wrong, love all the long-timers too, but it's really a welcome infusion of energy!

Oh so I’m not your favorite poster!?
