You have clearly never been to California. Not that I would live there, but no where in this country offers more natural beauty and outdoor activity. I know a guy that literally went skiing, hit a skateboard park, and caught a few waves surfing all in the same day. If you could provide me with the location to Half Dome East, or  Iowa National Sequoia, or maybe just some great FL tidal pools to explore starfish, anemones, crabs, sea lions, and sea otters. I would really appreciate it.

I guess if that's what you're into. Me personally, I'll never step foot into California. I'd rather go to Tennessee. Plus Pigeon Forge is a $40 fill up on gas and 5.5hr drive compared to San Fran that's a 6.5 hour flight and a few hundred dollars per person for a plane ticket.

If Lewis doesn't come to IU for whatever reason, is Turner still a possibility? I thought some were discussing his possibly coming here last week. He strikes me as a solid hire and would seemingly help recruit the south. Anybody hear anything lately regarding him?

He joined Moser at Oklahoma.

So you're very much not a fan of a place you've never been to, but you're already sure you don't like it there so you're never going to go there.

Got it. And thanks for weighing in on what you didn't enjoy from your California non-experience.          :)

I know I'm not into spending hundreds of extra dollars that I don't need to. I have what I like close. My house.

I'll be the first to say I wouldn't want to live there for various reasons, but the coastal areas are probably the most beautiful and scenic places I've ever visited.

So we have gone from you can find what California offers all over the place but cheaper to I have what I like, my worn out Barcalounger, TV tray, and 21 inch RCA, why should spend money on anything else.

Damn, I was really looking forward to you hooking me up so I could hike Bridal Falls and the Mist trail in north Georgia.

I remember having a 32 inch Zenith TV as a kid and thinking it was massive. It was also like 1997. 

But if Michael Lewis wants to take a job here at IU and wants to take a walk in California... He can afford one of the fancy treadmills or even some VR.

There are a lot of beautiful places in this country including California and many of them offer tons of outdoor activity equal to or better than skiing, skateboard parks (really?), or surfing. Most of those places do not feel the need to tax and regulate the ever living crap out of everything, do not suffer frequent electrical blackouts, water shortages, and tolerate people crapping on the sidewalks.

Tolerate people crapping on the sidewalks. Oh come. That’s just ridiculous 

 

And pretell what other state has skiing and surfing

I'm trying to decipher what this has to do with our potential future assistant coach.

Does this mean that if we get Mikey Lewis, there's a possibility we could some day find him crapping in front of Greetings gift shop on Kirkwood?

If that's the case, I vote we look elsewhere.

SMH, check in to see if we have finished out the coaching roster and we're talking about crapping on the sidewalk.

 

We need some news to break.

Not a single state offers the natural diversity of California. I don't want to live there, not a fan of a lot of the human aspects, fan of some, but to say it isn't the most bio diverse, outdoor adventure providing state in the USA, and by leaps and bounds, is just false. Name another state with a rainforest, deserts, ski resorts, world class surfing, hiking, and wine country. And ask the people of Texas about electrical blackouts, the people of Chicago about murder, or FL about homelessness.

I'm done, back to asst coaches.

[Hutch89]

Yeah, I'm pretty over reading about Cali not being desirable on this thread haha.  38million Americans or so made the wrong choice to live there I guess.

Maybe they think if they can convince everyone on this board how much California sucks then Lewis will realize that it sucks then will accept the assistant coaching job at Indiana? IDK

Enough on California and other tourist hot spots.  If we don't already have a vacation thread, one of you can start one and share your thoughts in that thread.  Thank you and we now return you to the Assistant Coach Thread.
