[IUFAN1976 3,463]

Can someone please tell me that Mike Woodson has been fired?  I read everything but that, darn it!

This goes back to KathyC’s amazing process. If there was an amazing process in place we wouldn’t have allowed all these clowns in the room and probably would have vetted them and briefed them so shot like this wouldn’t happen.

I feel sorry for the Peegs people. Rabby has to keep things close to the vest and not lose his sources. A few of us on the free sites are allowed to post what we are hearing. The sad part is he usually tries to say we are not accurate but then days later everything comes true. He'll spin it that one part was off or something like that. Just reading over there right now and he is saying that crap. So we'll see what happens. I might send him a text this time when he is wrong. 

I had many personal dealings with Peegs way back before, during, and after Knight was fired, in which case we had a falling out. Knight never trusted him, did not like him, and told his entire staff NOT to interact with him. I found him to be a slimy @$$ and never liked the guy. He has a career based on people who built his forum up, gave him inside info, and then **** all over them, IMO. During the months when everyone was trying to figure out if Knight would be fired or not...the ZERO TOLERANCE era... I remember having a phone call with Tim Garl, who was lighting Peegs up. I also recall a conversation with Mary Ann Davis (Knights longtime office manager.... don't like to use secretary lol) during Peegs pushing the "Knight threw a plant in the office" rumor, and I can attest that she indicated that absolutely did NOT happen. 

Side note....If a mod would like to verify my bonafides, I have no problem having that conversation.

Yeah i just recently reupped my subscription after the Illinois game and it seems as though he’s still playing his games. I think it’s because he can’t spill any beans until action is taken.

None of our five stats are close to what they were ranked. Tucker isn't all that impressive either. Meanwhile McNeeley is a projected lottery pick.

If Liam had come here, Woodson would have fixed that...

Things still on then?

I've never heard they were off. Rabby likes to get into semantics. The post he said is wrong said everything is happening on Monday. Nobody knows when this is happening. But the other info particularly one part of it is for sure true.

Not necessarily disagreeing, but Ferguson's generation was raised to believe that women should be seen and not heard. The idea that Tracy could be Brad's agent probably didn't even register with him. 

Sure, but (and assuming this actually happened) going into a meeting of that magnitude and not knowing exactly who every person in the room is would be the issue here. How is that even possible?

I was about to say you guys were going to throw hands at the airport. Needed something to bet on.

Ohio State covers the spread tonight. Bet on that.

And pretty much non-existent skills on defense.

MM was super good 14-17 then everybody caught with him kinda fell off if I remember right

Telling his wife to leave the room in any circumstance is poor form and dumb.

Of course. Of course. Like I said, a stupid stupid move by Ferguson. If he really said that, then he's a complete mysogynist. 

I'm just saying - was she there as 'his wife' or 'his agent?' It's ok for Steven's wife to be completely outraged by that. Steven's agent might still want to be in the room, and would still be personally offended by Ferguson's comment, but wouldn't necessarily let it impact the negotiations at the moment. An agent just does their job. It's not personal...

Ask him what's inaccurate about it? He won't say I'm guessing. 

Multiple people have. Obviously no response.

Yeah, Peegs was a treat.  Met him a few times at AAU events.  Shared 100% valid info with him a few times and he’d do one of two things: tell me I was wrong (I wasn’t) or use it and give no credit as to where he got it.

I know you’re asking rhetorically but in my experience it’s not uncommon for rich, powerful, and/or dumb folks to go through life without the basically level of awareness and decency required to do that (or keep your yap shut if you haven’t done that).

Oh I believe that. I understand their job is different from mine I'm just some ****** on a free message board sharing what I hear. No one pays for it they do over there. I'm wrong a lot but I always admit it, he refuses to admit he's ever wrong and very rarely breaks any kind of news.

I already did and I upped the alternative spread to the max! Might go throw another bet on that to double down

Not buying any of this... Ferguson screwed up the deal to protect Woodson's gig and to support Buckner.

Funny story.....he tried to sway inside access by touting his time with the IU swim team and Knights response (per eyewitness account)...."What the hell do they know about basketball?"...LOL....He was not joking.

Yea.  Calbert is my all time favorite player, but he has ties to the old guard.
Hulls joined when we were at rock bottom, got his @$$ kicked, and got through it to be a leader of a very good team.  I’ve got a ton of respect for him and hope he can continue here.

We gave in and tried iu guy thing and it failed miserably. At this point we don't need iu guys we need winners
