I was asked to provide more details about the planes and what I know, so I figured I would post it here.  I somehow have found about 5 different planes that IU has used, is using, may use, ect.  Now I have conflicting details on which plane belongs to who, but have sorted out the mainly it is Ned Pfau and Fuzzy that either own or lease a plane, that IU has been using.  Appears they are tight with a guy that owns or operates the Clark Regional airport, so they have access to alot of different planes from there.  There have been various flights back and forth between Boca Raton (Ned's Place in FL) to either Clark Regional (Ned's place here) and then to Bloomington.  We had tracked 1 of these planes going down to pick up Cignetti shortly after he was hired.  So, where it got interesting is shortly after Christmas 1-3 of these planes had activity to Boston plus other surrounding areas.  I was going to try and copy all of this flight data into excel to see if I can make sense of any of it.  I am sure there are connections between some of these, but I am not sure it is worth my time.  I think everyone knows that Dolson is in contact with Stevens, I think the process of negotiating or offering is taking place.  Only thing I can prove is yes, we have had planes, involved with IU, making several trips to Florida, Boston, and Jeffersonville.  I think a lot of this is expected behavior with ultra wealthy people, but I don't think they are going to Boston to play golf in the winter.  

PS.  NBA Trade Deadline is Feb 6th

So the last time IU came knocking on Brad Stevens door, he soon became the GM of the Celtics and we got Mike Woodson. The Celtics are for sale and we are knocking on the door again. What the hell‘s gonna happen is he gonna become the owner of the Celtics? Who are we gonna get Isaiah Thomas as our coach sounds like a freaking plan.

I supposed it could go like that!  I still think when the dust settles, it will be Dusty May

....I think I'm more excited about after the IU/Purdue game is over then the game itself. What will be the latest HOT TOPIC? ..... Pretty sad.

Pretty good point here.
 

He wouldn’t be the first championship GM/coach to leverage himself into a small piece of ownership. I’m not sure if he’s to that level quite yet, But depending on how much he’s valued by new ownership it is possible. What better leverage than a $100mil offer from IU in hand?

Tarmac him after the game. They’re not flying? Make him drive back to Bloomington in a clown car… more befitting

Zero chance of Michael Lewis. 

But for a 'lose the press conference' choice that would be a solid coach? I could see Brad Brownell getting consideration.

You are only allowed one Brad per search. So Brownell is out.

....can you imagine the fanfare IF Brad, in fact does decide to come be the next coach at IU?  I'm just sitting here trying to image the reception he and his family would get?!? I just hope and pray that this path FINALLY comes to fruition!....

GO IU!

I would definitely make the trip to Bloomington for his first official introduction to the fans and honestly consider moving back to the area, lol.

Well, he certainly knows how to play second fiddle at a football school, so there’s that. Not sure I’b be down otherwise.

He said he turned the Celtics down 9 times. We have to be close to that number so it's our turn now

Clearly a huge miss but let’s face it, he wouldn’t have flourished under our coaching staff. We haven’t had a breakout talent in a longtime. Need a new staff to fix this.

It took Malik going down for Goode to be used the way he should all season so yeah.

IU,where shooters go to die.

Tonight was the last night. But I came home after work, cleaned the house, did all the laundry, gathered up all the trash and may or may not be sitting down with a cold beverage since it’s Purdue Eve.

I had to check the date on my phone.

In better times I wouldn't have slept well from anticipation for the big game. Sad state of affairs.

[Trish 13,489]

Purdue needs to do us a favor.. a 45 point L tonight would get Woodson fired for sure.
