Why does Goodman hate Indiana so much? Makes no sense. 

We fired his boys Crean and Archie.

Hahaha Freddie McSwain just tweeted Brad Stevens come to IU!

Maybe missed it but is anyone considering Stevens may be using us to get more money/ player commitments out of the Celtics?

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard!!! Have you not watched the way he handles himself over the last 13-14 years?? From what I remember, there was not one sign or rumor of him taking the Boston job 8 years ago. That stuff is one reason why everybody wants him so bad. The only thing I will question is if any of this is true about him wanting the job.

Yeah, I don't see an announcement during the PU game though it would be kind of funny.

Agree 100%.  Timing doesn’t make sense at all unless he isn’t on their bench. 

Yep. And if he's not on the bench tonight you can bet it's going to be out much sooner than the Purdue game. Everyone would know what that means. That being said we have no reason to believe he wouldn't be on the bench tonight.

Sooo....   this Purdue game announcement is gaining more steam.  My sister is at an event in downtown Indy and was talking with Anthony Calhoun who said an announcement is coming during Purdue game.   No clue how he’d know but that’s the second I’ve seen that in the last 3 hours.   Believe other text more than this one but....  

 

Update: I sent a couple texts out to people I trust to see if they will confirm or deny this.  Interesting it’s come from two very different places.  Just posting in case it happens you guys can witness it live lol. 

That would be great and then we could go to Goodman and shove it in his face as well.  Is there game at 7:30

I would be SHOCKED to see a Purdue game announcement unless Stevens isn’t coaching tonight...

He wouldn’t want them to announce it during the Boston game while he’s coaching. 

Yeah, that would be like the Luck retirement announcement.  Didn't that come out during the game?

[TheDarkKnight69]

KICK IN THE D**K

[Hoosierfan222]

Well that is...  not encouraging.

The difference is that wasn't intentionally announced during the game. Someone in the Colts organization leaked it to the media.

Carry on

We were warned...get ready for Goodman to be a complete *******.

[Hoosierfan222]

Could really use some good news from Chris and 0708 cuz that’s not good :(

[LookatthestonesonDolson]

Remember what we have been told.  Denials will continue for a bit. 

[LamarCheeks]

This is from the Celtics play-by-play man. 
 

This could be another in the round of denials we've been warned about -- but it sure seems pretty definitive to me.

Chris Beard -- you available? 

[bleedhoosier]

That little snippet literally doesn't say he's staying at Boston. Re read that.
