Keep the train moving. We're in good shape. We all know not to trust Doyel or Goodman. 

Aye aye aye!

[mdiu28 1,752]

Have a VERY hard time believing he reached out to a coach in our own conference who isn't, in any way, on the hot seat. 

No way that happened.

May God be with us all!

This one is misdirection I believe from a couple different people

Well, if you’re managing this mother, then it might be time to step in and give a signal that you’ve got it under control and to ignore the noise - because there’s an awful lot of people piling on to make it appear to be the complete opposite. 

[mjeze106 191]

Do you think Goodman thought to himself "there's no way this is true" before deciding to tweet that? Or does he really believe his source?

[IU Scott 2,375]

This fan base is so gullible and will believe any story out there.  Just let Dolson do his job before judging the hire and you wonder why people nationally think we are nuts.  We might not like what they think of us but there are a lot more truth to it than we want to think.

When the Celtics go four games under .500 tonight...

 

COME HOME BRAD

For all we know, this could have been someone at OSU or Holtmann himself trying to make a conference foe in a state he recruits look foolish.

[Capt. Crimson 3,415]

Holtmann news drops so no one asks Brad anything during his pregame presser...

NICE NICE NICE NICE!

[Unexpectedflash 991]

Goodman is such a knob by using the phrase "zeroed in on". It makes it sounds like he's our first choice and turned us down. Maybe we did put a call in who knows but Goodman is definitely trying to make us look worse by the way he phrased his tweet.

Perception is reality until shown otherwise. Dolson’s job is to manage both! If all of the rumors are just noise/smokescreen then part of his job is to manage perception and control some of the message...instead of letting Goodman do it!

Truthfully, I think this is more about Holtmann maybe trying to leverage more money out of OSU

Rabby confirming this..I HOPE this is false. 

[Kentuckysucks 2,206]

Doyel too.

Is Holtmann the potential "rabbit in a hat" that Peegs/Rabby were hinting at? I sure hope not

[Trish 11,505]

Goodman may troll Indiana fans but he isn’t the one to report fake news randomly. 

[mdiu28 1,752]

There is no way we reached out to Holtmann. Could you imagine to arrogance of SD to do that? 

I feel like the media is just trying to make us look pathetic at this point. Feel like we're getting Ocean 11'd. Something strange is going on. 

Sources: Jeff Goodman doesn't know ****

The media doesn't need to, IU has done that for the better part of 20 years and looks like there's no plan to get it right this time.

Definitely has the feel of Holtmann throwing his hat into the ring, maybe having minimal talks then saying "nah, I'm good"
