It's Live Thread Wednesday!
Okay, so we jumped the gun yesterday. Knowing the pragmatism that Matt Painter has shown every single step of the way, it really made no sense that he would meet with Missouri and immediately make his decision. The guy takes his time.
Everything we've learned about Painter in recent days make me want him to become Missouri's head coach even more than I already did (and he was already the clear No. 1). The guy has shown a lot of Gary Pinkel's best qualities -- he is incredibly pragmatic, and he is clearly focused, first and foremost, on the long-term. While analysts at a national level simply see this about money (they summarized on SportsCenter this morning that "Purdue's going to have to pay up to keep him" ... which is about one-third of the issue), he has clearly begun to develop quite a few concerns about Purdue's long-term viability and ability to help him win a championship. Otherwise this would have never gotten this far. The only questions, at this point, are a) has Purdue managed to alleviate these concerns in the last couple of days, and b) does Purdue still get the benefit of the doubt? Or to put it another way, does a tie go to the home team?
Some quick positive and negative signs as we enter what is almost certainly the last day of Painter Watch 2011.
Good For Mizzou: This clearly isn't all about money.
If it were, Painter likely would have just accepted the (alleged) $1.9/year deal that Purdue offered him Monday night. There would have been no need for Mike Alden and company to still fly to Florida yesterday morning. Plus, when Purdue (again, allegedly) upped their offer yesterday, word of a decision still didn't leak out. Since Painter supposedly started liking the Mizzou job when Purdue visited Mizzou and he saw the facilities a few years ago, it's clear his draw to Mizzou goes far beyond "Purdue's not paying me enough."
At this point, it is obvious that isn't simply about contract leverage. A week ago, we all dismissed Painter's name because we just figured he was using Mizzou to get a raise from Purdue. But the amount of research he has done here clearly shows that he wasn't just using Missouri. Even if he ends up staying with Purdue, it is evident that he has taken this extremely seriously. And again, if it were just about leverage ... he got his raise offer, and he didn't immediately announce that he's staying at Purdue.
Good For Mizzou: Matt Painter clearly does not totally trust the Purdue athletic department.
Whether it is about simple investment, facilities, or whatever, there is obviously something there. (Obviously.) Painter has done an incredible amount of due diligence and research regarding Missouri, and it seems to have centered mostly around Mizzou's commitment to basketball and its recruiting possibilities. Makes you think he doesn't necessarily believe in Purdue's commitment to basketball and its recruiting possibilities. (The state of Indiana clearly has a high recruiting ceiling, but with Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame and now Butler sharing a tight space, he might be doubting Purdue's individual ceiling in that atmosphere.)
Bad For Mizzou: This is still somewhat about money.
Whatever doubts Painter has about Purdue's commitment, they cannot alleviate everything over the course of a couple of "But baby, I've changed" phone calls. But they can earn the benefit of the doubt by opening up their previously closed purse strings. Rumor has it, they have done so in a major way. If they're willing to pay that much to keep him, then they've proved something, haven't they?
Good For Mizzou: Painter now knows about the state of Missouri and its potential.
Through his diligence and around-the-state conversations, Painter knows that Missouri's recruiting base includes, among other things, 60 Division I players in the last six years who didn't attend Missouri. They're not all good enough to play at Mizzou, but that's still a large base for a state with only one major conference team.
Over the weekend, Ross, Atch and I put together a potential "Missouri only" roster. It was impressive. You could build a helluva squad with the following players (all from the state of Missouri and its extended suburban areas): Ben Hansbrough (who technically would have used up his eligibility by now if he hadn't transferred), Marcus Denmon, Mike Dixon, Alec Burks, Alex Tyus, Josh Harrellson, Travis Releford, Trevor Releford, Steve Moore, Justin Hurtt, Dominique Morrison, Ricky Kreklow, Scott Suggs, Jesse Perry, Rahmon Fletcher, Tyler Griffey, etc. With Brad Beal, Ben McLemore, B.J. Young and Otto Porter coming in.
Obviously, it would never be realistic to lock down every single solid Missouri player (they still share Kansas City with KU, KSU, etc., and they still share St. Louis with the entire Big Ten ... and apparently the Univ. of Florida), nor would it be particularly smart to only recruit this state, but that's a solid base of players, and I have to figure it appealed rather significantly to Painter.
Bad For Mizzou: Painter now knows about the state of Missouri and its ... issues.
Right or wrong, Mizzou has had an incredibly up-and-down-and-further-down-and-back-up relationship with the city of St. Louis, among other things. And while we hope that every incoming football or basketball coach will mend all the fences and lock down the state of Missouri once and for all ... it's never going to happen. There are simply too many odd, old wounds and strong personalities at play here. And if Painter talked to high school coaches and AAU coaches from the area, he probably didn't just get the rose-colored view, now did he? There are issues in this state, and he likely heard about a few of them
Bad For Mizzou: Purdue is still Painter's alma mater.
He clearly has some serious reservations about Purdue's long-term viability ... but there's still a very good chance he gives them the benefit of the doubt. And you probably would too.
---
I commented yesterday that we were going to see people's true personalities emerge last night because every single piece of information that came out could be spun in a distinctly positive and distinctly negative way. Matt Painter's not on the plane! His family's still in Florida! No it's not! He's still in Florida! No he's not! The Purdue players know nothing! Purdue has raised its offer! Well, today we almost certainly find out, one way or another.
Knowing that they needed to move on quickly if he turned them down, Missouri asked Painter to let them know his decision by noon today if at all possible. For both the sake of Mizzou's coaching search and the work productivity of Rock M readers, here's to hoping this is the last all-day live thread for a while ... even if "all-day" just means "until this thread reaches 800 comments by noon."
And if Matt Painter doesn't choose Mizzou ... I'll just choose to blame ghtd36. I recommend you do the same.

My Nebraska friend BigRedTwice says this would be a done deal if Pinkel had gone down to Florida with the helicopter and swooped him up with the Rescue Basket.
Painter
has been worried about how is coaches are seen recruiting. Saw somewhere he didn’t want his assistants taking cabs to recruits houses. He wants them in Cadillacs. Pinkel goes to recruits in a helicopter! Take that Purdue.

Great wrap-up, Bill . . .
. . . MP would be a great get for the University, but there are others available if he chooses to stay; I have faith in Alden’s ability to find the best fit available.
Go Mizzou!
All this logical thought is just pissing me off
Give me a door to watch god damnit, with a chatroom where I can talk about firing Alden, and my distrust of Pinkel because NO FULLBACKS

we just loved not having to change our clocks
it’s still annoying, although I do love the ‘fall back’ in the fall… spring forward kind of depresses me for a few days when I have to drive to work in the dark again, but all in all I like it.
my extended family
is from an area right next to the time zone border – about 60 miles north of west lafayette. they call it ‘fast time’ and ‘slow time,’ depending on the time of year, and your cell phone is constantly changing times, depending on which tower it connects to.
clearly painter will want to leave such insanity.
any other straws for me to grasp?
Yeah the cell phone thing freaks me out.

That doesn't actually happen in WLaf.
Although it does switch a few times driving down 65 from Chicago/Michigan to WLaf.
it's close enough ...
.. for me to grasp at, considering the total absence of actual information.
Heh...
…I’m doubting that if Painter were to call to accept at 12:01pm (in any time zone), Alden will say “Thanks, but you came in after the buzzer. We’ve moved on.”
I think painter will make the decision
when he knows the answer. regardless of deadlines… of course he’s not going to be a dick and not oblige Alden’s request…. but if he knows what he wants he’ll let people know, that may very well be before the noon deadline or whatever.
also i don’t think alden will turn him down if painter doesn’t respond until well after the deadline… i think alden will simply start working on plan B once noon comes and goes. he just doesn’t want to miss out on a good second option by waiting around for his first choice that may or may not pan out.
FIRE ALDEN!!
IF PAINTER DOESN’T COMMIT BY NOON HE’S NOT COMMITED TO MIZZOU!

This entire process makes me want Painter even more.
He is clearly very serious about winning a national title and pays attention to the details that make this a possibility no matter where he ends up. I would officially be very disappointed if he doesn’t come to Mizzou…something I couldn’t say even two days ago.
That said, no matter what happens, kudos to Alden for pulling out all the stops. (or so it appears)
I think this entire process will make everyone want painter even more
particularly his recruits in indiana should he decide to stay… the media is making the man look like the most valuable coach in the country these past few days.
Twitter account...
Do any of the Purdue basketball players have twitter accounts? If we were to hear anything before 12:00 on which way this was going to go, where would be the best place to look? (Aside from RMN, of course.)
Here.
The masses will find any morsel of information and rush to bring it here. Take advantage of it.
@Ryne_Smith24, @RobbieHummel4, @MikeJack05 (asst coach), @BoilerBaller25
There are more but I can’t get my full follow list to pull up on my phone…
they do
but I don’t know any of them really… they’ve been mentioned a few times on H&R… one that i recall was a recruit saying he would play for painter if he stays. /shrug… i dont know if he was already committed, or if this publicity has made some recruits desire painter just as much as missouri has.
The good news here...
…is that a lot of Purdue fans seem to be assuming he goes to Mizzou because they never get any breaks. Kind of a “resistible force versus movable object” contest here with these schools…
can we...
contact Ken Pomeroy and get some analysis and probabilities on this???

No. He flew back to west Lafayette yesterday
To meet with a school official and ad Burke supposedly. And they were supposedly talking about raises for his assistants
media sources were confirming that
matt met with purdue officials via phone call, and that he was still in FLA… who knows how reliable, but i would say they’re moreso than twitter sources.

I like correcting people by saying whom after they ask me something with who in it, even if who is correct. Because most of the time people will just buy it.

I wonder if Painter will call a meeting with his players,

"Every absurdity has a champion to defend it" Olivar Goldsmith
The mtg with players is an indication of his decision.
If he meets with his players there’s a good chance it to tell them that he’s leaving.
If he is staying then he wouldn’t necessarily have to meet with his players to tell them so.
by Wald on Mar 30, 2011 8:33 AM CDT via mobile reply actions
Regardless...
Painter will meet with his players no matter the decision.
I would agree under different circumstances
Since he is on vacation I would think that’s a phone call to say hey guys I’m stayin would be the okay.

Personally Im really pleased with the way Alden has handled this. I think all of it makes MU look good.
At least in my opinion, it feels to me that the nationally people look at us now like Mizzou takes basketball very seriously and that either way we will get a good coach.
If Painter accepts
then I will paint the town red in celebration.
I don’t think Alden has painted himself into a corner by pursuing Matt.
I think we’ve painted Purdue fan’s angst with the same brush as ours.
I’ll be watching paint dry between now and noon.
I hope Matt and Mizzou fans will become close as two coats of paint.

I have a question. I have heard the same rumor from two completely different places now. That when M. Anderson was hired, he was basically ordered NOT to go after recruits with questionable backgrounds, as to not further embarrass the university. Have you heard this? Any truth to it?

I have heard that rumor--
and there was a fairly recent interview I heard with Mike Anderson (pre-departure, obviously) where the question implied strongly implied the existence of a clause like this and Anderson sidestepped in a confirming-but-not sort of way. Wish I could remember more about that particular interview, but I don’t :/ I would imagine it was more of a “clean program bonus” clause than a “recruit limiting clause”, though

Then the policy worked, no?
I was happy hearing Alden emphasise academics in that press conference the other day. Not to be be a crotchety old stuffshirt, but I do like to remember the “student” part in “student-athlete”.
That doesn’t mean pretending to be an Ivy League school, but there should be some standards on academics and conduct.
So, basically,
We shouldn’t take the SEC approach of “who cares, as long as you can play ball” approach?

You leave the school before you get caught. Really, the entire SEC is just trying to perfect the “Pete Carroll system.”

this sounds a lot more “I know something” than I intended… I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a clause, merely that I have heard a similar rumour and an interesting inflection in an interview with Mike Anderson. (I have SOURCES?)

it's pretty simple
Mizzou went to Desmett and St. Louis went to Chaminade. The 2 have never been able to get over it, because they still care about high school.
note I don’t endorse desmett or chaminade, nor do I say anything disparaging about them, they are just 2 high schools i know exist in St. Louis.

That’s all I remember from my Jesuit high school days (no, not in St. Louis).
After moving to MO, I learned quickly 3 things about STL:
1. you’all really care about what what high school people went to. Whenever I see two people from STL get together. The first question they would ask each other is, “what high school did you go to?” I grew up in public school in LA, and we didn’t gave a f*** where people went to high school.
2. you’all still call I-64 Highway 40
3. Ted Drewes is really great!

working in St. Louis, and I STILL notice the cliqueiness (god, there’s no good way to spell that non-word). It’s kinda weird. The only thing we cared about was if you went to the local rival school (note, in another town), and even then it wasn’t a huge deal except in sports.
Also, it’s not “40,” it’s “fahrty.” I have to fight the urge to laugh when people say “fahrty fahr.”
SEMO also
You are not from Sikeston or Poplar Bluff are you? If so then F*%k U.

from columbia
live in stl. i really think God played a trick on these poor people by putting both fahrty and fahrty fahr in this town. they all pale in comparison to dauhrty fahry rahd (dougherty ferry road, if you’re not from around). i love hearing natives say the name of that.
and the high school thing is ridiculous, but it’s just a good way for people to know how wealthy your parents were.
Well, the high school thing isn't really about caring about high school.
What its about is that if you know what high school someone went to you have a decent idea about thier social and economic backgrounds. In many ways it is simply a St. Louisan’s way of asking where you grew up.
.....and instantly measuring your parents income and worth.
They mask it by asking a seemingly innocuous question. It is not, it is vile and undermines the ability to actually be friends (initially ) with people from StL.
However the people from StL. that have dropped this practice to at least just ask where you are from are just fine.

i love responding with
“Columbia Hickman,” because people don’t know what to think. Even if they do know Hickman, there are both wealthy and not wealthy people there. I also love not responding with Rock Bridge, but that’s a different story.
that says something completely different about you
and its probably not good
You're probably right but for many it is merely a habit they grew up with.
For me saying that I went to Northwest is not only confusing since their are two in the area but when I do point out which one I essentially admit to being a “Jefferson County Hoosier”.

Never saw it as that.
In STL since there is a strong Catholic population that attends different high schools after grade school, chances are you are going to know someone who went to that high school. Never understood why people read into the whole asking about what high school you went to too much. STL is a small, large city, if that makes any sense. You can pretty much always find someone who knows someone you know.

I met a guy from the UK
and when I told him I was from St. Louis, he started laughing and asked me what high school I went to.
Some people say "hate" is a strong word. If you're talking about kansas, it's not strong enough.
Ok, the right now I'm trying to comfort the pessimist in me...
Lets say we assume we don’t get Painter. I DO agree that Alden’s handling has made us look pretty great, and its obvious to everyone we are ready to take the next step and our next coach will have all the support he could want.
Are there any ‘home run’ names out there now that maybe weren’t before? Anyone that wasn’t included Bill’s original profiles? Your thoughts, Bill?
If this doesn't work out, I'll probably try to throw out a few more coach profiles...
…Anthony Grant…Steve Alford (since he was on the list five years ago), etc. That is, unless it immediately comes out that Ben Jacobson is the new leader or something…
Not sure of any other “home run” names…I doubt there are any that big, but there could be a Kevin Stallings or something floating around…we’ll see.
If it can't be Painter...
It had better be Coach K with Calipari as an assistant or they should FIRE ALDEN!!!!!
If you think this is a waste of time, follow me on twitter @BrandonMessner
I'll just jump right in and say this before he ever gets profiled.
Steve Alford – no, no, no and NO, thanks.
Why not?
Curious – I haven’t looked into him at all.
Sorry if rehashing an old argument (but really, what else are you going to do right now).
When is the Deadline??
I know Painter is to make a decision by today but does anyone know what time that will be exactly??
Not a dealine...just a requested time
and dont think for a second that just because he makes a decision that we will know about it.

There is no deadline.
There was apparently a courtesy request by Alden for a phoe call from noon. Nobody but Alden and Painter will necessarily know if that call happens, or what was said on it.
Thanks
Damn this suspense is killing me. I’ve been watching all of these threads since Monday morning.
I JUST WANT A DECISION ALREADY!!
The decision has been made.

OK fair enough
Im from Missouri, and the Royals are the team of my youth. How many of those titles are from before the royals were even a team? The yankees should be embarrassed by the fact that they had the premiere team in baseball in the ’70s. And yet were in an epic battle every fall with a start up team, from what 9 of 10 new yorkers would call a podunk city somewhere in fly over country.
by Bestofthewest on Mar 30, 2011 11:31 AM CDT up reply actions
20 of the 27 were from before 1969
And actually, I would’ve said that the Reds were actually the premiere team in the 1970s in the NL, with the A’s and the Orioles dominating through the first half of the decade in the AL.
from 1976-1980 the Yanks and Royals met in the ALCS four times, with the Yankees winning 3 of the four ALCS 3 games to 2, 3 games to 2 and 3 games to 1.
Granted, I didn’t see any of the series, because I was either unborn or an infant for them.

Purdue sends a text to Painter with no response.
Purdue stalks Painter’s Facebook page to dig up some more information on this new person. Painter’s Facebook friend is attractive, witty, and ready for a commitment.
A few hours later, Purdue sends another text to Painter with no response.
Painter has changed his Facebook relationship status to “Single”.
Purdue freaks out. For the first time, the thought of actually losing Painter to somebody else becomes a reality.
Purdue calls Painter and after some small talk, directly asks about this new option in Painter’s life.
Painter tells Purdue how he really likes Mizzou.
Purdue is PISSED. Purdue begs for one more chance. Painter says he’s not so sure that it’s going to make much of a difference. That “what’s done is done”. After more negotiating, Painter finally gives in to Purdue and says “fine, but it probably won’t change anything between us.”
Purdue plans a lavish evening. A limo picks up Painter, there are gifts inside, and they go to a very expensive dinner. Purdue promises to change and says that tonight was just the beginning.
Painter wonders if Purdue is really, truly, and honestly trying to change. Painter also wonders if this was just a last-ditch effort to simply get him to stay and that things will be back to way it was in a week.
Painter is truly happy with Missouri. Mizzou is saying all the right things, doing all the right things, and is certainly a refreshing option. Friends are even saying that Missouri “would be so much better for you” and “about time you got out of that mess with Purdue”. But, Purdue always has and always will be Painter’s first love….

One issue that the press keeps bringing up is bothering me.
Essentially the Big 12 is a sticking point for most of the press simply because of its rather uncertain future. I would hearily agree if we were taking football but basketball is something of a different matter.
To begin with, the Big 12 is still a heck of a basketball conference and the departure of Colorado and those idiots in red to our norhwest will only improve the level of play.
Then you have to look at what happens if the Big 12 implodes and for basketball it doesn’t look all that bad. Yes, Texas would be out of the picture but after MIZZOUEXPANSIONPALOOZA last year the Big East all but left us an engraved, open invitation to join them. Not a good thing for the football program but it would make certainly raise the profile for basketball.
Yes, the situation should still be considered but it isn’t really the horrible deal breaker the media seems to be making out to be, it seems to me. Or am I just crazy?
Yeah, no one follows that thought process to it's logical conclusion
What are the odds that 1) The Big 12 falls apart and 2) the fallout of that results in Mizzou being in a much worse conference? Considering the state of the athletic programs/university and the location, not bloody likely.

And if the Big East will take in TCU for the football program
They should be willing to take us. We’re closer to the Big East than TCU, and we’d bring a decent basketball program AND a decent football program. Granted, the landscape can apparently change on a whim, so nothing’s certain. But I don’t know if that would really be THE deciding factor for Painter.
I'm starting to get more pessimistic.
It just seems like that the longer these things go on the more likely it is that a coach stays.

I love all the people on Twitter
Who think that Painter is going to make his decision at noon Eastern time on the dot. Won’t happen at 11:59, not at 12:01, and this certainly couldn’t have been a Central time deadline that was, I believe, first reported by Bernie for the St. Louis Post Dispatch which is, get this, in the Central time zone. Twitter is going to explode when nothing is announced in half an hour.
on a slight different note...
We know Colorado and Nebraska are done…but I for one would like to at least give credit to Colorado for the final four run in the NIT…had Burks not waited on that screen, and tried the long two, then they would probably be playing in the championship.

Nothing is official yet and there haven’t been any announcements, but a source tells the Post-Dispatch that Purdue coach Matt Painter just called Mizzou AD Mike Alden to say he’s in as the school’s next basketball coach.
Painter has been the school’s primary target in the last week since Mike Anderson left to take over the Arkansas program.
A press conference could come as early as this afternoon in Columbia. Painter was believed to be flying from Orlando where he was vacationing to West Lafayette, Indiana, to meet with his players and then Columbia.

“The entire purdue mens basketball team is transferring to Missouri. They’re moving mackey to go with them. And Gene Keady publicly said that the women in West Lafayette were ugly, but not as ugly as the men. Drew Brees announced that he really would have preferred to play in Bloomington, John Wooden rolled over in his grave, Glenn Robinson was a robot, Rick Mount used performance enhancing sterroids. Kelsey Barlow just smacked Purdue Pete with a ball rack. And Tom Crean just bought Harry’s.”

All the Mizzou fans just need to calm down for a bit
Bernie’s tweet has definitely gotten us all excited, and the sources out of Purdue that I’ve seen haven’t (for the most part) confirmed anything, but rather are playing this cautiously. Can’t blame them at all. They don’t want to report anything until they are ABSOLUTELY sure. Although Bernie seems confident…there is the chance that something will change/was heard incorrectly.
His tweet has the same tone as Bernie's, seems confident in sources (plural) that neither school had been contacted yet.
Either way, someone’s wrong.
Technically, both could be right
Depending on the timing of the sources and/or the wording. Could be that Painter hasn’t directly contacted anyone, but someone else called Mizzou to let them know. I really can’t make heads or tails of the wording, and unfortunately we’re at the point in the story when semantics are going to make or break what the actual story is right now.
I do agree, however, that both sides sound supremely confident in their sources. As a Mizzou fan, I really really hope our guy is correct, but I do understand that he could have jumped the gun.
I'm not sure if there is a way to um....TWEET...

The man reporting Painter to Mizzou is done is a good reporter. So is the man who is reporting it’s not. That’s how this story is gonna go.
H&R is freaking the f**k out
i cant post for another 15 min so someone needs to tell them that the deadline wasnt a hard deadline, and even if it was, it doesnt mean he tells THE WORLD at 12.
RMN is also freaking the f**k out
THE WHOLE WORLD IS FREAKING OUT
Would we listen to that if we were in their position?
I understand the freaking out on their side. Some Mizzou fans were freaking out about Anderson, and we weren’t losing an alum/guy with local hero status.
Mid Missouri radio stations are now reporting
That it is a done deal, KTGR, KCLR, KCMQ
Probably just echoing Bernie

aren't those stations in the same building?
if KTGR AND KFRU report it, it’s real (and KBIA…no commercials, NO MERCY!!)
What do you mean I can't retire at 32?
H&R counterparts are not freaking about a team meeting scheduled 'soon'
They haven’t cited any ‘sources’ yet though

I don't like them less...
It is understandable to be worried (and I hope they are worried for good reason). BTW is there any new info…i am a school teacher so those darn kids are keeping me from checking as often as needed.
If you think this is a waste of time, follow me on twitter @BrandonMessner
We'd probably be doing the same if we were in their position
I’m still willing to accept them as our long lost Big 10 brothers.
Plus, if we get Painter, there’s not argument about which fan bas is more miserable until we actually get to this next basketball season.
It is starting to look like Bernie jumped the gun
I really think he has a source who is close to this, but either Bernie or that source definitely didn’t have all of their facts straight.
the facts, may indeed be straight
It just does not look like it supported the timeline Alden likely committed to Painter on

Plus, an easy CYA move
Is to say “we haven’t heard from Painter” when they’ve heard from someone close to Painter. Like I mentioned elsewhere, this is going to turn into semanticsville really fast.
I think a lot of what happened in the Mike Anderson situation
Was that the agent was running around talking to everything with an ear, and no one had a clue who was saying what.
means nothing
they need to be professional and deny rumors until painter says something.
Let them be
They need to vent just like we did last week.

I'm listening to Bernie right now
He said his source is a guy very close to Painter and it’s the same guy who has been giving him his accurate info this whole time. Missouri is taking a “hands off” approach right now out of respect for Painter and Perdue, giving him time to inform his players and not have them hear it in the media. He seems really confident in his source.
Some people say "hate" is a strong word. If you're talking about kansas, it's not strong enough.

of someone ‘close to Painter’ to leak info?

Maybe this is repeating what others have said
I’m making lunch and playing with my kids, so I can’t follow everything that’s happening but..
I’m thinking the longer it takes after the noon deadline to hear about Painter, the better. If he’s staying, Purdue gets that out ASAP. If he’s gone, Mizzou waits for him to talk to his players and inform Purdue first before announcing.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
Well, to be fair. The noon deadline was a request from the MU AD
It was NOT the deadline for when they announce it, just the point at which they wanted to know.
It’s entirely possible that Alden has an answer and a request to keep that answer under wraps for a day so MP can put affairs in order.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
It's Expected
Neither institution is going to make this public until Painter has a chance to inform his players. And as I said before he seems like a standup guy who is not going to let this affect his family vacation. He returns to West Laffeyette tomorrow at 7pm CST.
This says he was scheduled to come back at that time tonight

Not the ones on Twitter
They really believe that Indiana’s recruiting class has scared everyone else in the state, forgetting that they had, like, 9 wins last year (too lazy to look up the actual number right now).
Okay, looked it up
Hoosiers had 12 wins last year, 10 wins the year before. Almost all of those wins in each season were out of conference. For example they started this season at 9-2, ended at 12-20. Ouch.
well I agree with you on that -

The heart break if we’ve worked out how all our personnel fit with his system, who’s staying, who’s going, who’s stock is up and down…. all of that and then he stays at Purdue, that would leave a mark.
Keep speculating wildly and with minimal informedness about whether he’s coming or not. The implications of what happen IF he comes, those questions are all on ice. And by ice, I mean dry ice taken to within a degree or two of zero kelvin, and packed inside a vaccum thermos inside thermal tiles from the space shuttle, in a distant looping orbit around jupiter.

Partly because I have a MUCH younger sister (and plenty of shotgun shells, you bastards!)… and because I’ve never met ZD, or his sister. (Love his videos, though) I only now make fun of GHTD, because I had the honor of meeting him (well, pouring him a drink mere hours after the OU game) and now feel a certain RMN kinship.

Real question
What’s the rule about a transfer from another school during a coaching change? Obviously I’m talking about Hummel – I thought PU fans were quoting some rule yesterday.
He's a fifth year guy
I think he can transfer without waiting…might be contingent on Mizzou having a graduate level program that Purdue doesn’t offer. The same rule used by Massoli when he transfered from Oregon to Ole Miss.
That's the lamest rule I've ever heard.
Do you not even have to major in that?
i get the reason
has to transfer because the program he wants is at another school. if you look at it from a non-education loop hole perspective it doesnt make any sense.
Its not so much us...

by TigerBartender on Mar 30, 2011 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions
I really doubt it happens
And, honestly, I would feel really bad if Hummel came too. That’s kicking someone in the nuts, trying to help them back up, making sure they aren’t seriously hurt, and then hitting them in the nuts with a stick…or something like that.
Agreed.
I just wanted to know what it was.

They obviously won't announce anything until after Painter tells his old team bye bye...
"When among evil companions, try to fit in." - Wild Bill Donovan
It has become obvious to me what MU is doing
They told Painter they’d deny and/or hold off any reports until he had talked to his players so that they don’t get Anderson’d. Once that happens, all reports will cease to be “premature” and we’ll have our official announcement.
Try not to take me too seriously
Jumped the gun.
No news.
Premature.
I acknowledge fully that this thing might not happen (it probably will not happen in the most junk-crushing manner possible), but you don;t have to be a J-School grad to see a non-denial denial.
