I'm talking in regards to Tom. He needs talent to win. Even thats not enough sometimes. I think its all bs as i can't imagine Michigan getting that desperate. If he couldn't survive at Indiana he won't at Michigan.

Updated CBS Sports Top 25 + 1 bumped Michigan but I'm guessing Parrish will put him back in if they make a great hire and don't have attrition.

Gary Parrish has Ivan Bender as Notable player definitely gone. So take this with a grain of salt.
He's got Iowa at #16. Grain of salt? I'm thinking a 5 gal pal of salt.
I refuse to click on that shit anymore. Its so bad.
I'd say we're a dark horse for the final 4, and I completely expect MSU to finish 11th or worse in the B10.
I'm betting Iowa is no better than this year, and they're possibly worse. A worse B10 is the only reason their record will be better.
I also think that JW is looking for any excuse to stay in the draft though, so that influences my decision making.
You sound like quite the B1G Basketball Expert...
Really? That's pretty surprising to read, but I admittedly haven't followed that one at all.
Iowa will probably finish top 6. I only see MSU and Purdue as being better for sure. They'll be on same level as Maryland, OSU Illinois, and possibly Indiana. A chance they finish top 4.
Umm. No. Iowa will finish where they belong. Bottom half.
My total cop-out preseason rankings with rosters not final:
Tier 1 - MSU
Tier 2 - Maryland, Purdue, Illinois, OSU, IU, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
Tier 3 - PSU, Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern

Honest question. What makes you think Purdue will be for sure better considering the production you lost? I think Purdue could be better than Iowa, and I would tend to agree they likely will. However, I don't think there is any for sure guarantee out there especially if Weiscamp comes back.

ISU. Isn’t that your nickname for them?
I wish Coffey success either way, but selfishly I really really really want him to come back.
Did you start/stop drinking? You seem.. different.
Selfishly, I really want him to stay the hell away. Dude killed us this year.
Another coaching search and same old shit by the fan base and posters. Happens every single time at every school. Wake me up when it is over. Idiots lose even more IQ points in a coaching search and the Espn and sports writers come with even worse lists of names. Arggghh!
The Shaka Smart thread on our homeboard, after Tubby got fired, was epic.
Only cuz he would inherit a more loaded roster then IU. But he is such a shitty coach, I wouldnt put any money on it. I am not a huge fan of Archie but he is way better then Crean.
I think we got y'all beat. The Billy Donovan shit on the IU boards after Crean was fire was pure entertainment. People were tracking flights, spotting his wife in Bloomington (LOL) and essentially stalking him. It was awesome.
Donovan is the new Jon Gruden. Fans and media are talking about him but there are plenty in the AD that want nothing to do with him. Maybe he interviews but I dont expect anything beyond that.
If there’s any thing I’ve learned, if it gets to the interview process you’re 75% there.
