Jay-Z calls himself “Hova”, as in the Hebrew word for the man upstairs. Playing off that. 

Certainly not the first time in my life that my total lack of hip hop knowledge made me look silly.

This is like when you know Santa probably isn’t real, and that mean kid at school told you it’s just your parents, but you still want to stay up late just to double check that the magic might still be alive. Brad is Santa. I am a child. It doesn’t matter how many times someone tells me he’s not coming down the chimney if I want to believe just one more year.

I think most people realize the odds are low here. But who cares if we have a little fun in this thread while we wait for the hire to be announced. It’s not over til it’s over.

To me it’s not Stevens or bust, but some of these candidates getting discussed with legitimacy is depressing.

I’m going to hang in fantasyland a while longer and hope Indiana opens the checkbook to some deserving young/middle aged coach.

Yes, national secrets are definitely at stake.  You are a good man to keep that quiet.

Edit:  I think if you polled the people in this thread and asked them to truly say whether they thought Stevens was coming here, greater than 80% would say no.  If you followed r/wallstreetbets a few weeks back, this thread is the same vibe.

But don’t ask us that question. We are on the train for now and no it probably doesn’t get to the destination we want but maybe..... and if if it doesn’t you need to enjoy the train. Sadly one of our better March Madness events ever.

Came in to say today is the day

[ap2345 7,571]

What if guru is Brad and he’s just going to announce it in the peegs chat with a picture of him and Dolson lol

[JHoosier914 1,187]

“I only want to hear the views of people who agree with me.” 

If you simply wanted to bring up an alternate viewpoint, you’d say things like “I respectfully disagree. I don’t think (or my sources say) he’s not coming.”

Yet your finger is constantly on the X button if the controller, ready to attack.

Did the guy from Peegs actually say brad was coming today on March 27 at noon or has he just been posting the date with the time and nothing else. 

[Geometry Hoosier 1,151]

Okay, I wasn’t going to post this because it’s one of those my friend who’s friend posts that everyone rips apart, but here it goes.
March 18, I got a text from a friend of mine who is also an IUBB fan. I asked if he’d heard the news that we could possibly get Stevens. He said he had lunch with a friend of his a few weeks ago. Which was before Archie was ever fired. That friend of his was a college roommate with someone (I cannot say their job title) that would know. His friend told him that Archie was gone and that Stevens was going to be the new coach. In fact, he said he’s definitely coming.
After Stevens’ masshole presser I text him that things weren’t looking very promising. He said he wasn’t sure what was going on because he thought it was a done deal. All I know is that my friend is as honest and trustworthy as they come and would not pass along anything he thought to be false.

Hmm, sounds exactly what the insiders here thought as well.

I don't think Brad is coming but would be super interested in knowing what happened behind the scenes, if anything. Unfortunately, we'll never know.

During  a summer I teased my dad that he had to be at work while I got to play....... before he hung up the phone he quickly shouted “ Santa isn’t real”....... goodbye childhood.

Got it. Wasn’t sure if maybe he was just lost and was trying to make reservations for somewhere.
