I agree although to be fair, the large majority are good guys and I heard some positivity too.  

One funny thing.  I’d have the urge to laugh or like a message but (doh!) I wasn’t a member.  

Agree, I see the other sites as friends. Hell, a good few of our former mods helped build that site. We are all multiple sides of the same crazy coin.

If this happens I just hope most of the fanbase has some patience. I dont expect what we all want from day one. Give him some time. 

Just have a feeling alot of people may expect a miracle from day one.

There are a lot of folks at both sites who can trace their posting days back to the old Scout site.

I agree. We put up with 4 years of Archie we can give a proven winner at least the same or more. Brad Will win.

It's kind of like buying Apple stock. No matter what happens...you know you'll be better off down the road. I won't be impatient one bit with him....because I know he knows what exactly he's doing and he also knows exactly what we expect him to do.

Was kind of surprised they talked so much trash about us on that site. Laughing because our site crashed? Okay...

We are all diehard Hoosier fans. Didn’t know forums had rivalries 🙄.

Two other sites did a podcast together and were laughing about high traffic and were thankful their servers handled it unlike one IU Site.

There is some changes and building to be made for sure. Transfer portal should help both.

They kind of took a shot at how the site is moderated too, and frankly, the way they mod sucks IMO. 

I can’t begin to tell them how little their opinion keeps me up at night. 
 

like, seriously, I think many of us are arguably too invested in the performance of the IUBB team. To be that invested... in the vis a vis rankings of sites that discuss it?! Read a book, fellas.

There were a couple of comments, but overall I thought everyone was nice and welcoming of a lot of new people at a very crazy time.  The same way I’d expect HSN to be if the situation were reversed.

So I kinda pieced this together from what their insiders said, and what @IUwins0708 contributed...

This has been going on since late December.... There was allegedly a meeting at St Elmo's with Stevens and Some IU people (not Dolson)... From what I gather, they told Stevens go tell them what it would take to pry him away from the Celtics...

In my mind, Dolson had to have taken that information to the donors when he was hitting them up for big money. I say that thinking no one, even people who have that kind of dough, are going to pay for "two in the bush."

A lot of cloak and dagger stuff, but there haven't been any leaks to media...Tomorrow could be a "banner day" in IU lore...

Wouldn't be cool if forum insiders have scooped the talking heads on TV?

I won't be shocked with the insiders scooping the story before the talking heads. Most of the talking heads have their collective heads up their a$$ most of the time and don't really do any investigative journalism....they just spew the same narratives and think if they talk loud enough people will believe them.

In all honesty, I said over there that had I known who Dolson was going after in earnest, I might not have been so adamant in my defense of giving CAM another year...😁

I guess being a Cubs and Bears fan, I'm use to upper management shopping in the bargain bin...

Now that CAM is gone, I hope that the rumors and excitement about Stevens comes to fruition. However, I question the timing and can’t imagine that there would be any announcement made on the first day of March Madness in two years. I would think that Dolson would want to make a huge splash with the news, and I think it would get lost amidst the built up hype of tournament play.

To get the best bang I would think an announcement on Tuesday might make more sense

Yep. Right after a big weekend. Any time in the next 2 weeks and we can be the talk of the town really.
