Ha. I can’t cheat on HSN - but I’ll bring some cold beers over!

Flight going to Gary/Chicago tomorrow at 230 . Take Stevens back to his team for a final goodbye??

Maybe someone told Brad Stevens he can still drink Dunkin' Donuts, swerve around cars in traffic, and root for the Patriots in Bloomington too.

I don't think rooting for the Patriots would be a problem here, sadly. There have been a sh*t ton of Patriots fans in this state since the early 2000's.

How realistic is it to get Stevens at this point? Should I continue to bet the Celtics then? Everytime I bet them... They lose? When I bet Celtics I’m 0-6!

There’s been a consistent plan on this from the beginning. Maybe it doesn’t end up happening... but don’t think it has changed.

Jerry just silently liking posts. LET'S GO!!!!!!

If this is all true, I still can't see this being announced Saturday.  Celtics have games tomorrow and Saturday.

sounds like a coaching change is in order, no?

Well if I keep betting the Celtics they may never win again

Short time lurker here ... started when HSN went down. Anyway, one of you gents earlier today spotted that plane from Chicago to Bloomington.        I looked where it originated ...

Is it possible his wife (agent), flew into Chicago, picked him up, they went to Bloomington, made history, and now we have to dig up some flights back?   Perhaps just coincidence ... but fun to get hopes up ...
 

 

I wanted to believe this but during this time Brad was spotted at practice at Marquette where they are playing the Bucks tomorrow.

Wrong thread. Stevens is cheaper.

I think I see what you’re talking about. The plan seems to have been to send a bunch of middle-aged men into a minute by minute roller coaster ride of panic and euphoria for approximately two weeks while also sowing seeds of hatred for both Dunkin’ doughnuts and leprechauns. At least that’s how we’ve executed the plan here.

Paperwork signed? Then delivered

I looked up the jet - it was a luxury jet.   Could his wife have just landed, gotten the paper work signed and went on her way. Or just been his wife?   Or just there to negotiate on his behalf?   
 

Just seems quite coincidental ... and maybe that’s all it is.

Just a reminder that Brad Stevens holds a 77.2 winning percentage in college basketball :).....I could live with that at IU

Why are we on the Brad Stevens train? Did something happen or are we just being our delusional selves lol?

Go back about 8 pages. Also, we could still be delusional.
