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.

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.

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.

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, 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

We are in the mess we are in because of Ferguson. He does not have the programs best interest at heart. He only cares about his boy.

I’m talking about staying on the staff.  Hulls is a winner.  If the new coach does want him fine, it’s their choice.

I was raised to believe phones had wires and cameras needed film, but here we are.

Trilly chat guy...take it with a grain of salt...

 

Calbert was offered interim and turned it down so it'll Ya. News will hit by Sunday or Monday.

If true I am glad Cheaney said no.  Let Ya fall on the sword.  Calbert was my favorite player growing up and I know he had loyalty to Woodson and is probably irritated how all this went down, but I don't want to see this monstrous mistake take out any more Hoosier legends than it already has.

My former boss was in his 80s. The things that he would say and not realize were inappropriate were unreal. When he was getting ready to retire he was interviewing people to replace him (he was CFO), and he said that his daughter had recommended someone to him who was a woman. He said to me (a woman) "She recommended a woman she knows, CAN YOU IMAGINE??"  I just stared back at him.. He had no clue how bad he sounded.
