Once this saga is over, and we have a decision, I'd like to ask @IUwins0708 & @Chris007 if they can share what the deciding factor was (pro or con) to the decision. Something obvious like money, or an intangible like going home?

The wife!  ( A-hole Celtic fans didn't hurt either)!

He is so friendly and personable to his customers.  He came up to my table a few months after he opened, and I had my wife and kids with me, and I said...."guys, this is an IU legend" (after my wife assumed it was just some old guy working at a fast food restaurant).  Laz talked to us for a few minutes, and gave my kids signed cards of his SI cover from 75.  Pretty cool experience.

I always like listening to him doing IU games on channel 4

God I hate the throw pillows.

Now I'm concerned. YOU feel better because Rabjohns opened his pie-hole? I was firmly of the impression that you, and IUwins0708, were/are the best connected of anyone. (other than Dolson himself)

I'm completely guessing here but from multiple years of paying attention to Chris I get the feeling his and Rabby's sources are at least some (maybe 1) of the same people. I honestly don't know that to be the case but I like to think I'm an amateur Sherlock.

Laz is out and about on the floor helping clean and refills (pre-COVID). Love their Buffalo chicken tenders

Place is always too busy to go to anytime I am in Bloomington.

I’m drunk and off work at 10:30 tomorrow. Already told the wife once this is officially official I’m going on a three day bender and tonight doesn’t count!

Appreciate all your info!

I choose to listen to the insider here since, well, if you believe the national guys, we won't have a coach next year since no one is apparently interested in the job....morons

You wait, Chicken Sando!

After this pandemic we need to have a get together and cheer on our Hoosiers with coach Brad stevens 

[rcbowla]

Rabby got burnt in the Garland recruitment so that probably makes him a little gun shy about posting info

They all did. We all did.

I don't think the national guys even realizes we have been talking to Brad

[Bobman1]

Titus has been awesome on Twitter through all of this. He deserves love from the IU faithful after this and I thought his podcast today on the Brad Stevens Saga was hilarious.

Of all the national guys who have been dunking on us recently, I have taken exception to 2 guys. Jay Bilas and Tim Brando..... I will absolutely be attempting to get them to consider deleting their accounts.

Dude, I can relate. I have never seen the bedspread on my bed... if the bed is made, it's buried under 112 pillows... if it's not, the bedspread is folded on a bench and buried under 112 pillows.

So, I get the "happy wife, happy life" mantra... and in this case, if mama's happy, the whole Hoosier Nation is happy!

Yea Brando was an absolute jerk.  Essentially saying, who do you think you are to expect a winning program.
