    I would think if his concussion is bad enough they might keep him from the game day experience with flashing lights and loud whistles and fans. Concussions manifest themselves in very strange ways. He might just need to avoid the stimulus inputs for a while. Hopefully that’s all it is. I really want to see what he can do.

    He clearly stated he didn't have any info and then speculated, which is 97% of what is done on a message board. Anyone reading it with basic reading comprehension skills knew it was an uninformed opinion. The fact that he was called out for it is literally dumb.

    13 straight wins going back to last season. We might be nearing a program record.

    #IUMS - 2018 College Cup

    Lets preview the College Cup. First off in terms of pure talent we got our toughest game out of the way with ND. Maryland can almost match us and are a top 15-20 team but it is still clear watching the games with them we were slightly better. With ND the talent is one of the very few times we are completely equal. Also most importantly because Maryland is fairly challenged scoring (although they have been better lately) this allows Gutman to come forward more and score much easier (has all 3 goals against them this year) than against ND where he had to sit back and play more D against Ueland and Berneski who were dynamic scorers. Maryland overall has 3 guys IU really needs to watch. One is Paul Bin who scored a goal off a set piece in first match and is a fairly dangerous and dynamic forward despite just four goal. Second guy is Donovan Pines their center back who is among the best in the nation at his position. Lastly their best player and heart of their team as I have talked about over and over again is their goalie Dane St. Clair who is one of the few goalies in the country who can match Muse in terms of talent and athleticism and is also very energetic on the field and plays with tons of passion. Overall the Terps are red hot (beating Duke and UK back to back is very impressive since those teams do match us talent wise) but we got them without Rennicks and Dorsey several weeks ago and are the only team to score on them in last 5 games. They have a D equal to ND but an offense much less dynamic. I like us to win 1-0 on another Gutman goal at some point. I will not look ahead to the championship until when/if we beat Maryland but I will say the talent in last years College Cup was much better. This Maryland team is no where near as good as good as the UNC team we beat last year in semi's and MSU is not close to the Stanford team we lost to last year. Akron who also went last year and this year like us had a better team last year. We will never have a better chance to bring home all the marbles. Last year everyone was a top 5 team. This year we are without a doubt the best team in the country and the other teams in the Cup I would say are 15th-20th best. Soccer is a crap shoot though and the difference between 1 and 20 is not that much but we certainly go in with an advantage talent wise we did not have last year. Give me MSU (although I will take either) in the Finals and lets take this home with two more wins.

    Shouldn't have to apologize lol. You were giving your opinion based on what you saw. For there to be issues with your original post is laughable Sent from my Pixel XL using BtownBanners mobile app

    Phinisee will make plenty of special plays; and he's already made some (dump pass to Smith for the dunk, for example). He's clearly playing a very conservative style now; but he's got plenty of special. Kid has a 2:1 A/TO ratio, which is better than we've had at that position in a while. For the record, Green's ratio is 1.1: 1 for his career. Phinisee shooting 47% from the floor. Green 35%. (39% for his career) And Green is 1-12 from three point land this season..Phinisee 5-15. I'm really looking for a high ceiling in Green; but I just don't see it. 2 years and another 1/4th of a season in, Green is selfish, out of control, and very, very dumb sometimes (see the play yesterday when he made a great defensive play for a steal, and it looked like he thought "okay, I got it, now I get to shoot it," taking it to 3 players and turning it right back over. I promise not one person here was surprised.).

    I noticed in one of the previous games that Race had his head in his hands a couple of times that they showed the bench. Which led me to believe what you mentioned about the stimulus. My wife had a minor skull fracture (I know a little more than a concussion) after falling out of a truck. That was probably 11 years ago and she still has issues with lights and noise. Concussions are different for every individual and I applaud the staff for their caution with Race. I know we could use him, however, Race's health is definitely more important than him logging a few minutes.

    Honestly, when this becomes Phinisee's team and the culture continues to shift this will be the norm. We won't be pointing to a single player as the energy or hustle guy. They all need to do it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

    He played 4 minutes in the Montana State game. That's probably not what you meant, but technically he's played this year. Scored a bucket too. What makes you think he won't ever play? Just curious.

    So these women might be kinda sorta good? Great way to start the season with a really tough road win. I think I heard Greg Murray say that UCLA's only lost 3 of their last 52 home games and those 3 losses were all to highly ranked teams.

    I can speak from personal experience having suffered a serious concussion in my mid-20's. I missed 2 full weeks of work and could only work half days for another week and even after 3 weeks, I had to be very careful not to make sudden moves or I would get excruciating headaches/dizziness. I was a pencil pusher so my job was not a physical job in any way similar to the physical activity a college bball player goes through. I think in all, it was close to 6 weeks before aftereffects were behind me. I believe I read the cause of Race's concussion was a knee to the head and in this day and age, doctors and trainers are simply not going to take any chances. I've had 3 surgeries in my life, and I would gladly trade those recoveries over that of a concussion. So having bared my soul, feel free to comment "oh, a concussion in his 20's, no wonder he's looney in his 70's."

    (2021) G Luke Brown to Ball State

    I'll try to catch some of their games if I can find the time and give my amateur assessment. Blackford plays just north of me...a very short 20-25 minute drive.

    Where’s are resident pessimist when we need him to tell us the program is sinking. I’m partially kidding because the poster has added a lot of good stuff just seemed to focused heavily on the negative aspects. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

    Really excited for the future of this program! Starting to see not only elite talent, but quality depth.

    I agree, and once RP gets through this learning curve he's going to be very fun to watch... I'm sure TJD is going to love him being there.

    Makes me wonder if these are recruiting tactics. Archie has players sign, but keep their commitments secret, only to have other teams waste their time recruiting them [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
