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.

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

That’s how many times my wife turned me down at first before she said yes to a date (or so she says this is how it went). Now look married and kids.

It's only six extra weeks to wait if that doesn't happen.

I'd very much prefer a 40 point IU win because Woody is gone at the end of the season anyway.

My wife asked me out, then cancelled to get back together with her ex.  Three months later she hits me up again.  Married 30 years now.

Moral of the story: even the backup plan sometimes works!

One would think!  It’s been our turn for 20 freaking years and think we are all tired of waiting

My wife said most months have 30 days so we won't count the 31st and it's IU-PU

Well I hope you are still correct because a 40 point win at Turdue could sure as heck pollute the outlook!

You are finding excuses!  Houston, we have a problem!

....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!

Purdue would have to start wearing brown shorts.

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.

I wish we would have hired Brownell instead of Woody.

Good thing us winning by 40 at Purdue has approximately the same odds as me spontaneously growing eagle wings on my back and flying to Alaska before tip off.

Cliff Marshall lol

I looked it up, Anderson ended up shooting around 32% from 3 in college. He got better after leaving IU but not particularly good.

There's probably lower odds of that then of me getting a date with newly single Jessica Alba.

And my odds are exactly 0.0%.

Can we hire Fred Hoiberg?

Brownell is an interesting case.  His name has been mentioned in previous years given his Indiana ties, but the resume wasn’t there.  Last year’s E8 run and a senior led team this year that has the look of another NCAA run. Overall he has done well at a school that is tough to recruit to in that league and is well respected among peers.

If Dolson is speaking with Stevens, I could see BS advocating for BB, as they are both former DePauw players and seemingly have similar basketball philosophies.

I could see IU “settling” on BB after another run at BS and maybe Pearl, as his agent leverages us for a new facility and/or Steven named as coach in waiting.

Funny thing is I am not sure it is a given that BB would take it.  Have a family friend that was a Sigma Chi with him at DePauw and is part of a group that visits him every year at Clemson.  He has a pretty good set up there and maybe doesn’t want the fish bowl.  I don’t know that to be a fact tho.  Def wouldn’t win the presser but I do think he could be very good at IU, maybe not elite.

And look for Marty Simmons to make his long awaited (haha) return to Bloomington, if BB were to be hired.
