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

I'd very much prefer a 40 point IU win because Woody is gone at the end of the season anyway. Well I hope you are still correct because a 40 point win at Turdue could sure as heck pollute the outlook! tkbbn and Home Jersey 1 1

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.

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%. Hoosier DaDa 1

I could see Brad Brownell getting consideration. 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. Stuhoo 1

I think the program would be in good hands with him and he has proven he can build. He did it at Iowa State and he’s doing it at Nebraska. Each team slowly got better and better and if he at 52 can come here for 18 years then I think his final 15 here would be real fun to watch thebigweave, cybergates, Home Jersey and 1 other 4
HoosierMatty Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 I am curious has Indiana or would Indiana ever approach Painter. I get we have a less than one percent chance of him saying yes. But I would be curious if he told us to kick rocks immediately or at least listen. TadQueasy, Artie86 and thebigweave 1 2

He may wait until hes 55 to take the IU job and we'll still be here 7 years from now saying Stevens is COMING!
