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!

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.

His brother was my high school principal.  Was exactly the complete opposite of John!

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?

Not money, obviously helped.  Might want to add Yeagley to your list as well!

Sounds like the Happy Wife philosophy may have been a strong motivation.  Same reason I have 87 throw pillows

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

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

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.

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 6,732]

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.
