That is beyond baffling if true. The only explanation I can fathom is that Brad has completely tilted and has ceased to.make rational choices about this roster. And I can't help but get a sense of foreboding regarding this season's success being anchored once again by the point guard position, regardless of multiple options becoming available to prevent that from happening.
Even if we do (which we technically don't because the university cannot pay the players?) it sounds like prices have gone up as the supply of quality PGs in the portal has gone down
Pretty much was my response as well … Of course not to him …
This is a VERY big booster … He and his family really support the athletic program …
He really likes Bret though … That’s a positive …

Whoa. This is a whole order of magnitude greater than I presumed angst to be. Thanks for the insight. Can’t say I’d disagree one bit though.
Who got drunk before the Penn State game?
Everyone. It was Colemans birthday weekend
aside from wow, I thought well at least the "other car dealer" in your analogy is Illini footballPretty much was my response as well … Of course not to him …

so is harmon coming??
Can we assume that's a lesson learned and we don't have to go through that again this year? Please?

Lesson learned by whom?
I mean we’ve all gone out and got drunk the day before we weren’t supposed to
I just meant everyone that's left on the team from last year. I really don't want to watch that again once Coleman's b-day rolls around this year.
But you wouldn’t pay the same amount of money for a lesser car. And if you did out of necessity and that lesser car returned lesser results then you probably wouldn’t go back to the same dealer ever again.*
*To keep with the car metaphors I still ride with Brad. Just that the terrain may not necessarily be as smooth as it was 15 months ago.

Pretty much sums up 1996-2000 in Champaign for me. If I’d spent half as much time in the undergrad library as I did at Murphy’s and BW3, I’d have a PhD.

Booster logic: “I’m pissed that we aren’t winning enough games! To show my anger, I’ll hold money back to guarantee we won’t win more games!”
or get a new coach.
Or we just need to recruit players than can actually hang. The problem is that they simply can't hang after they drink.
Ron Artest used to drink Henny at halftime and I think Barkley talked about playing games drunk. Underwood simply needs to recruit players that can handle their alcohol.
Lol Hawkins rules, I’m glad the boys had fun on his birthday. Hope they can schedule it better next year.
So they’re ticked we didn’t get a Pg so their response is to not give us enough money to get a PG. they better not be mad about our team not having one this season then cuz that’s on them too if that’s the caseBrad said I need money for RayJ … They said okay here’s the coins you asked for, now go get RayJ … And Brad missed … Now they’re all ticked … Lol … If someone took your money and promised to deliver something and didn’t … Would you give them money again and if so would you give as much ?
As for your hypothetical did this money just disappear into thin air or is it still theirs cuz I don’t understand how he took their money if they still have it? If a real estate agent tells me a house costs this much and I’m ready to pay it but the sellers sell to someone else that doesn’t mean my money just disappears and I’m gonna go find a different house not just be homeless and blame my agent.
