3 hours from Boston? No other private airports closer to home?

Good point, I'm getting my flightware confused now. I'll have to ask @BGleas which airport the Celtics use again.

Reading through this thread reminds me of the story about the  little boy who only wanted a pony for Christmas.  A pony is the only thing he asked for in his letter to Santa and the only thing he ever asked of every Santa he saw.  Christmas morning he raced downstairs and there it was under the Christmas tree.  A big pile of horse manure.  The little boy got the biggest smile on his face and dove right into that pile flinging manure in every direction.  When his mom asked him what on earth he was doing he replied, "a pile of horse manure this big means there must be a pony in here somewhere."

You all are still looking for that pony and it ain't there.

Look man, you passed along a lot of detailed stories as if they were gospel. They simply weren’t. You’re even implicitly admitting that here by saying you were out on a limb. 

I have zero problem if you want to believe in it just because it’s fun. Have at it. But when you mix in a bunch of falsehoods and posture it as legit info to get other people to believe, that’s a problem.

 

Seems like there are a lot more important causes if you want to fight against dishonesty, and I'd be all for it.  I'm not sure what harm this is causing.  No one's going to riot or be killed if Brad Stevens doesn't come.

Just ignore him if you don’t like it.  I don’t get why that’s so hard.

Chris a great dude and I appreciate what he brings to the board. It’s a lot of fun to speculate and have wishful thinking until a turd “you” gets dropped into the punch bowl.

Damnit. Back to the pile, everyone!

There's a reason half this thread is full of memes and BFS posts. It's not that serious, folks. Pretty sure the overwhelming majority of people in this thread realize what a long shot this is.

Thank you. He must be a fan because he follows me around everywhere. I might have to sign something for him to put on his fridge or something.

lolz.....take it easy. Everyone can decide for their own if they want to believe any information - yours included. We don't need information police. You're getting pushback bc you come on here and have this attitude like your information is above everyone else's. I'm going to bet you know nothing either. 

Let us have our fun. We're all adults here (I think).

Chris has earned plenty of cred and a little leeway around here. He brings a lot of good info that the board appreciates, and has said plenty of times that he just knows people that know things so he passes it along as he hears it. It's a free board and people can take it how they want. I think it's been pretty clear that this round of Stevens info is part fun, part maybe yeah sort of, and part hope.

The Celtics use Laurence Hanscom Field in Bedford, MA.

As far as I'm concerned? This is good fun.

All--please keep trying not to take potshots at fellow posters, and have a good giggle or wishful think!

Note: If we can be fairly clear when we separate the (relatively) serious discussion from the less serious stuff it'll stay good for one and all.

 

 

Being a long time HSN member and then coming here during the “crash”, I have noticed a lot of comforting similarities.

The Mods on each site are on their toes. I appreciate their effort and desire to shut down any and all hostility, language and disrespect among posters.

HSN and BB each have their highly respected, “IU source” guys who share when allowed.
The Overall climate from both sites is not only respectful and civil, but thoroughly enjoyable.
Of course there will always be disagreements and bantering back and forth. However, at the end of the day we all come together as an Army of IU faithful friends, fans, men and women. 
Go IU!

I was literally just responding to a post where you mentioned me.

The people who have been posting what they have been hearing have been around for years and are not some "johnny come lately" *cough*. Who knows what will ultimately happen with the coaching search, but you seem to be making it personal.

Chris has been on this board for a long time and has a very good history of providing accurate information.  This is why he is trusted here.  You showed up last week. There is a reason people here trust Chris.  He has a great reputation that he has earned. 

[Bowhunter 2,650]

I love the idea of us getting Stevens as our coach. The parts that don’t add up for me are that Steven’s got a raise from Boston after we offered(False). We offered the Job To Matta which was said to be true by our insiders. Can’t be true if Stevens is coming.

Calbert and Woodson hype.

 

That’s why I am tying to be more cautious this time around. I don’t believe it, just more wishful thinking. I will admit I’ve hoped for awhile now that the insiders were right on Stevens coming back home. Theory that word got out to fast and they had to shut it down. Also because of how awkward Brad’s second interview was.
