Nebrasketball is looking good. OSU likely going to be better than projected, too. It is going to be an exciting B1G season. Factoid #1: Only two teams have ever gone 18-0 in Big Ten play. Indiana, and Indiana. Faction #2: Only two teams have ever gone 17-1 in Big Ten play. Also, Indiana and Indiana. Moving to a 20 game schedule this year.

I think less than 0.0000001% of their decisions will be based on how we do against Dook.

Due to life totally sucking a## right now, I've missed both games until well later. I'll get back upright and be posting during games again here soon. Thoughts? Looking good. Doing what they need to do to weaker opponents. Break. The. Neck. Free throws.....Oy. Figure that out before conference play, please! Hope you all are doing good!

I don't think that means IU didn't deserve to win though. IU didn't look good but they did have 4 takeaways. At this point, a win is a win and one step closer to a bowl. I hope we don't have so many disappointed fans if we make a bowl by beating pu.

Pretty comfortable saying that the program would’ve announced a “suspension for team rules” or that he was sitting out due to eligibility concerns as they have in the past if it were one of those issues. They explicitly stated it is due to injury concern. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

And I’m over here thinking it had something to do with their decades of play by play experience. Who knew it was summer camp basketball and peewee football experience that made those guys more qualified! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Basketball? No. Football? Maybe. I'd rather just release a herd of bison on the field to create chaos and excitement. Maybe one of them tramples the opposing team's best player. It could be passed off as an accident. The IUFB program needs something to make them cool and exciting. Hey if FCTC gets canned at Georgia we can entice him back to be the mascot. He is more than qualified. Get him a cool lookin bison suit with candy striped pants and let him clap as much as his little heart desires.

Selection Monday! NCAA.com will have a stream @ 1 pm ET. #Q49! 11/15 - 1st round - bye 11/18 - 2nd round vs UConn - W, 4-0 11/25 - 3rd round vs Air Force - W, 2-0 11/30 - Quarterfinals vs Notre Dame - W, 1-0 College Cup 12/7 - Semifinal vs Maryland - L, 2-0 12/9 - Final - Akron vs Maryland

Agree. I like where the momentum is and being a home game could really be the difference maker. Pretty excited about it to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It being a rivalry game and all I actually like our chances against Purdue. May be some distractions for Brohm with the UofL job opening as well.

Should the Indiana Men’s B-ball team bring back the bison mascot this year? Would anyone else besides me love to see an alternate IU basketball jersey that features the bison in its design? Think Kansas and it’s Jayhawk on its uniform, but only IU and a Bison. Is anyone on this site Savy enough to make a mock up design? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I can’t imagine that individual game holding that much weight but it, along with beating Marquette and Arkansas would make us a top 5/10 team and amplify the hype and talk around our program Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just dropped 75 today

It was more of a rivalry when we had Coach Siderwicz in the 90s, before my time. Lately it’s been pretty one sided for B South but we always left there saying jeez the refs screwed us. Games are always close atleast [emoji23] but I’ll never root for B South in anything. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He's the new hatable player.

Does south know about this rivalry? Haha Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

They better kiss Brohm goodbye. He gone. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Point #1: They're specifying it's a leg injury; not an ankle and not a knee. Not sure if that really means anything or not, but basketball injuries are usually reported in fairly specific terms, i.e., ankle, knee, shoulder, etc. Point #2: I don't think Archie would pull any punches if it was an eligibility or a behavioral issue. Point #3: I don't think Archie is one to deliberately mislead the fanbase.

Old Fart went to school with his great great great grandfather.

Is being old an excuse?
