IWB Speaks...
« on: March 25, 2014, 10:37:19 AM »
I have not disappeared
So now I am getting blasted from all corners of the internet. I'm a big boy, I understand that and I can deal with it.

But for some to say I am hiding? That I have disappeared? Not even close. One guy said that yesterday was amateur hour. Really? Amateur? Sorry, I take offense to that.

There was nothing that I tweeted yesterday or that I posted on our premium board that came from a single source. Everything I said was gathered by multiple angles. Not one, not two but multiple.

I have disappeared? I'm hiding? I went to bed at about 2:00am last night and I grabbed my phone when it first went off this morning at 5:45.

I had worked this all day yesterday and am not about to sleep on it today. Every source that I got info from yesterday is trying to get more today, but as of now, all has been quiet.

I will not back down or backtrack from anything I said yesterday. Did things change? Did something go wrong? I do not know, but I will continue to stay on it until I have answers for you.

Not a criticism but that's about the only play he has right now.  We'll see, I think things can still go his way but the end of the day will tell the tale.

He's getting defensive, like an cornered animal.

Yes, but is he being cornered by lions or jackals?
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

I wonder whether those multiple sources emmanated from the Journalism school.

Good for him. But, he never conceded that he may have jumped the gun. A little remorse can go a long way. Ask Giambi--not A-Roid.

I found this disappointing. I figured he'd had a source directly involved in the process.

That's disconcerting.  I was hoping someone sent him a text saying "we literally have his signature.  its official" or something similar.  If it's even possible for circumstances could change, then I wouldn't have said "done deal."  But that's just me.  I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because his entire reputation is on the line here.

The bet has been placed, this doesn't mitigate it or serve as a withdrawal.  This shouldn't salvage the meal ticket he gets off of the program if he's wrong, or the respect he will earn by being right when all of the national guys are wrong.

Is there any possible way terms are agreed to or even signed, but MU wants to announce the new president first and have the coach be his or her hire, even though said person would have presumably had nothing to do with it? Just for perception's sake?

Yes, but is he being cornered by eagles or rams?

It pains me to put eagles in there, but it works better that way.

Interesting idea. It would make sense if BOT close to making a decision on the President.

Everyone would see through that charade at this point. In fact, I'd be insulted if that's how it went down--not for very long, obviously.

I hope it turns we get Smart, but he's already been proven wrong in his "done deal" declaration.

I think that you are grasping for straws there.

Oh it would definitely be annoying, and a farcical charade without a doubt. However, I would get over it in milliseconds.

Apparently 2.01 sources.  Not sure who makes up the 0.01.  :D
