Tomorrow actually makes perfect sense. First day of the tournament. You know that’s all they’ll be talking about at halftime.

That’s why I didn’t think he knew what he was saying. I’ve always thought a week after Archie being fired.

Any leads, leaks or hints on to when at all?

Can Purdue help us out and hire Archie so IU won't need to pay the buyout?

Actually, PU could help with the buyout very easily: Hire Teri Moren. Her contract has a $10M buyout if the Toiletmakers hire her! 

But nobody wants that to happen. She's done a great job in B-town.

If it is going down tomorrow I hope they wait until I get home.  I promised my great nephew to take him to top golf tomorrow, not thinking about it being the first day of the tournament.

Top Golf has TVs and beer.. it's all good!

Indiana fans right now....

Gonna have to explain this one I think

[iu-dl 1,417]

Since this thread is dedicated to the prospect of obtaining Stevens for many, many years and it's a lot of speculation, let's talk about what happens WHEN it happens. Name me a better profile than this for a CBB HC:

• Proven strategic coach that can win at any level (enter, Butler)
• Makes ballers out of players (Enter, Hayward)
• Beautiful in-game tactician
• Moralistic side of me: GREAT human
• NBA ties (hello, recruiting)
• Indiana kid with Indiana ties
• Strikes absolute fear into every program in the country, top to bottom
• Kids will be, in my opinion, lining up to play for him just based on how he wins and who he knows. He never had that at Butler.
• Could build the most powerful bench strength in assistants known to CBB

Just thought this would be fun. Help me add to it...it will help pass the time.

Am I the only one feeling more skeptical the longer this takes?

Man...you don't have ANY patience at all !  I thought I owned that trait. 

It's only been what...3 days since Archie got fired? 

We've gone from "No way in hell", to "will he listen", to an "alleged" meeting (or more), to insiders saying "it's looking real good". That's one helluva journey in 3 days.

I told the principal where I work if it went down tomorrow I was giving the kids busy work and streaming ESPN. She is a big fan too and said that was fine. 
 

If it does go down tomorrow I can see some of the national media guys getting all sanctimonious saying we shouldn’t be trying to steal the spotlight from the tournament. 

[Bowhunter 2,651]

You got that right.  They swung hard at the fast ball and looks like it’s almost out of the park only issue is if it turns out to be foul or not. 

So is that code for we through a bunch of money at him and now it’s up to Brad, or we through a bunch of money at him and he said yes as long as Celtics agree?

To get Isiah 

My favorite player at IU, but I don't want him anywhere close to the coaching job.

If it happens tomorrow I will probably be between 11-12 ET.  Right before the tourney.  And the only hour tomorrow I"ll be in meetings for work.  

[Dave from Dayton 2,581]

Bingo!          For the record...just found this and it is just a meme.

Nope.  Ripping it off from his posts.  Look at the timestamps

Not sure, but apparently Dolson has a huge set.
