Why is it, these days, so difficult to understand what is the proper decorum for specific situations. But then again, not too long ago I witnessed a patron of St. Elmos dining while dressed in a sweat suit. With regard to attending a classical music performance, with Mr. Rodenbeck, I am firmly in agreement.
Gee, you'd think somewhere along the line someone would have the (legal) right not to have the matter totally aired in public.
I think Brad will stay for at least 3 more years, but probably 5 and maybe more depending on opportunities that open. Here is the big question though: What happens if Butler makes the Final Four in Indy this year? What if they win? Would it then finally set Brad apart from Thad and Todd?
Oh for f&&*( sake what has Talkin Terry dreamt up this week?! The go-billies in Speedtucky and Moorseville and Brownsburg would have a snit fit if BO showed up. Chicken buckets will fly and budweisers will rain down on the track. the gomers will finally show their true colors.
go Delta wing!
Truth - nice "Kenny Brack Experience" reference. :)
I'll give you guys the fact that Brad took over a team with Graves and Green and Campbell that I couldn't have screwed up (well...maybe not)...but the job that he did last year starting three freshmen was great...PLUS the four freshmen that he brought in were tremendous....and the the three kids we get for next year and Cody Zeller in 2011...(wishing)...that's the value of Brad.
