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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post IUFLA Posted March 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 3 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: I've been trying to synch up the timeline since Archie was let go. Here's the thing about people with $ i.e. donors....they aren't just giving $10M (or offset difference when Archie coaches again) without being assured of the plan. I'll be very happy with Beilein, Musselman, or Beard. Stevens to me is what Bama did after hiring Franchione, Shula, Dubose, Price,etc....it's a league only a few schools are afforded. Get this thing done please. The timeline and answers and whispers are as loud as Assembly will be again. 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? 9 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
