My exact thoughts of fantasy land Purdue. LOL. You guys live in fantasy land. But by all means do enjoy your fantasies. You know sometimes they come true. LOL.
LOL, says blinking... blinking... blinking... while obsessing over Purdue on big brothers message board.
oh trust me I am laughing out loud. How could you not reading the various I.U. thoughts on a Purdue message board. Fun times. Hilarious.
you never know but I don't think that is going to happen. Not that I would not welcome the hiring of Brad Stevens as the new coach of the Indiana Hoosiers but I don't live here in fantasy land. LOL!
117-89.
Never a losing record to IU in football AND basketball, ever. Not even close in either one.
Keep laughing though...
We're glad that you're here, this is "fun"!

So Alford is out. Rightfully so. He has two Ball brothers coming in for the next three years. If he is any smart, he isn't gonna leave UCLA before the last Ball leaves.

Well, if you wear a size medium, you can get the next best thing: a CREANED T-SHIRT!!
(used, for a mere $10.99!! "No stains or tears")

I'll take one of those. May be worth something in future years. Yes I will.Well, if you wear a size medium, you can get the next best thing: a CREANED T-SHIRT!!

Does it come in a package they tell me it's worth more if you keep it in the original package.
Now that's a GREAT idea... that way the Creaned t-shirt can be protected from all your "stains" and "tears" that you'll be sobbing. Good thinking on your part.
Unfortunately for you, I already ordered a t-shirt just for you:
Those T shirts went down the toilets of Loosier fans everywhere along with their Texas Tech shirts,bumper stickers,hats etc,that they wore with tremendous pride from 2002 until 2008.
Can a candidate coach recruit effectively?
Can that coach get a team that isn't loaded with talent to play correctly and therefore above their individual abilities?
The first sets the ceiling and the second sets the floor.
I too would pass on Alford and Mack. It's a small sample size to judge by but the Butler coach has done well.
You think Alford is out? Did you actually read your own link about Alford's comments?
He did NOT say "I have no interest in the Indiana job and I'm staying here at UCLA." In fact, he went to great lengths to talk around the issue and clearly avoided saying he would not take the IU vacancy. After reading your link, I'm more convinced than ever that Alford will be IU's next coach.
He never said he wouldn't take the job... at least not in that piece.
This may be an uninformed post, but here it goes,.... I am a bit surprised Alford wouldn't be interested. I guess it depends on the situation and relationships. I just think that UCLA and the Ball brothers will do just fine whether or not Alford is there. Not to say that I think Alford is a bad coach, I just think they would be able to do pretty darn good regardless. Alford's son is a senior as well, so if he is every going to take the job, I think now is the opportunity. As a Purdue fan however, I think the more unknown and less qualified the hire, the better! 
If you have to try so hard to read into his intention, then it's probably not true. IU fans would refuse to admit it, but UCLA has much richer tradition than IU, and has been much more relevant in more recent years. Alford would be leaving a school with the at least equivalent, if not deeper, tradition plus a much better roster, better recruits to come, and the wider recruiting pool, to take the IU job with much turmoil, higher expectation, a roster in disarray, and no high-ranked recruits, while starting anew. If you think IU can outbid UCLA for his service, you're delusional.
Not sure, but Indiana is home and to me that would be a huge factor to consider. Not certain, but I bet Harbaugh is happy with his decision to come back to his alma mater Michigan.
I like it. Reminds me of you.Now that's a GREAT idea... that way the Creaned t-shirt can be protected from all your "stains" and "tears" that you'll be sobbing. Good thinking on your part.

let see how many championships have fantasy land won now. Just saying and thinking. .
AHHHH ESPN is the one that pointed that out the fact he did not say he would not consider the job at the fabulous Indiana Hoosiers. Let try and get our facts straight Mack.
ESPN seems to speculate Alford to I.U. and I'm ok with that but I have someone else in mind.
Why the insults? Alford had the perfect opportunity to say "I'm not interested in the IU job. I'm staying at UCLA." That would have been all he needed to say.
Instead he danced around the question and did N*O*T aprovide a direct answer. I didn't "...have to try so hard to read into his intention...". Alford did not say he would not accept the IU job. Period.
As for money, who said there would be a bidding war?
Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas, Villanova all seem to do well with coaching, recruiting and the extremities. I.U. should also do well with the right fit. So Damn girl what's your point? Dakota? Or perhaps this is a justification for the sense of it all? Purdue basketball and all the specificities.

Drinking hard liquor and obsessing on the Purdue board from her trailer.
I have no idea what that means.
My point was Dakota Girl's post about the ceiling and the floor was dead on.
I have no opinion on how that applies to your program, nor do I care.
here's my answers.
Can a coaching candidate recruiting effectively. Yes I guess whatever coaching candidate are you referring to?
Can they get the other less rated players to play above their abilities. Yes. Plenty of examples of this throughout college basketball. Butler does pretty good. Tom Crean did pretty good with Olidipo.
So I guess the ceiling and the floor has been set for many years with plenty examples throughout the ages. Perplexed? You bet I am???????? I don't understand the questions or the point. Oh I get it. Painter make all the three star players perform at a high level. I should have known. Duh.

I know what gibberish means........and I know it when I see it.
If you'd like to continue your obsession with Purdue, tip off is 9:40 on TBS. I'm sure your trailer will be rockin'.
Hilarious. This is somewhat fun to play and to converse with you all from fantasy land. by the way don't think I have said too much about Purdue. What is there to say? Ooops. I need to stop right now. Sorry.
very sorry Dakota girl your post is right on. I need to shut up. That post was one of thought and great expression. I am truly sorry for my sarcasm. Would you please accept my apologies?
I found the PERFECT fit for IU... and the best part is he is local to the Bamboozle-Town area!
Hey, when does IU's next game tip-off??
