Understandable. I’m definitely being a pumper, but it does feel different this time around. Even if Stevens isn’t the outcome, I feel good about where Dolson’s head seems to be as far as what this program needs and how he’s going to get it. Let’s not forget there is more than one great candidate.  Nowhere to go but up!

No Covid shots available, no news on Stevens. Why am I up?

Anticipation, no inside information at all, but I think my excitement is coming over my skepticism

Looks like IUSG on Reddit, hinted someone special, he’s all the way down

I need some SLEEP!

Has there been any movement on the Vegas odds?  Has anyone here placed a bet?

Same.  I also miss the days of going into any game and feeling confident that we have the better coach.

It’s on sports line, but I can’t find the actually updated one, only the original one that came out Monday

I have not found a single place to bet on this.  Sportsline published the odds but no one is taking bets.  William Hill is the "Official Sports Book" of Sportsline and CBS and even they aren't taking the bet.

I just want this to happen so I can tell all my Purdue friends "We got our Jeff Brohm". 

Yes, this is a joke. As in Brohm is their "second coming" and they're going to dominate football for decades.

I think now is as good as time as any to play "what ever happened to?", especially considering some old faces made a brief visit this week when HSN shut down.

For those of you newer to this site and community, most of us started on the old scout.com forum (which I believe became 24/7). We then moved to the original Hoosier Sports Nation board, which looked just like this. BtownBanners started up some time later and some folks gravitated there from HSN, and HSN went through a bit of a makeover. The old scout/HSN crew split in different directions between the two sites, with some obviously being present on both. I decided on BtownBanners primarily because of its familiarity to the old HSN layout. HSN was led by milehi, ColonialCrester, and HoosierFaithful seems to still be running things (remember him with his RFK avatar). CCGeneral and others were here. There is still the rivals crowd, which is the worst due to the cross-contamination of other schools' rivals forums. Not sure who is still on 24/7 (peegs), but I see some old handles on HSN like Badgervol, Parakeet Jones, Indykev, and the guy with the V for Vendetta avatar. 

Milehi, ColonialCrester and CCGeneral all passed away recently. I saw on rivals that Snowling also just unfortunately passed...

For a while we had GoColts (Old Friend) here, but I guess he got banned or is under another handle?

Going way back, does anyone know what happened to oggyiu? 

And another guy that I randomly remember was TakeMeBackto1987 who was a huge Maurice Creek fan. Is he still around or did he follow Creek to GW?

I have been lurking on IU boards forever.  I think I joined this board "officially" back in 2017 and haven't even posted until this week.  In addition to the people you have mentioned I remember a GovernmentCheese from one of the boards.

That's another reason I'm very high on Stevens. Dude has won in multiple ways. Has made it to the NC as a lower seed. At IU he can consistently get to the dance as a 4-5 seed or better. Add in his coaching acumen and we are a threat every year. That's all I can ask for. That's all any of us can ask for.

Let’s see if there is any news during the VT-Florida game, a few people mentioned earlier that they should announce it before/ during the first game
