Magnanimous

The ACC just dropped football divisions starting in the 2023 season.

I agree. However, and this is my own bias, I live on the east coast and half my family went to Penn State. I hope with any new scheduling the Hoosiers still come east to either MD and Rutgers, and of the big boy programs we play Penn State and Michigan more than the others. OSU and Wisconsin can take a hike. Going back to 8 conference games would be ideal. Four games against Western, Eastern, Northern, and Southern Kentucky and also Purdue every year should keep us in the bowl eligibility conversation on a near annual basis.

As a fellow Giants fan I’m very happy about this. They should’ve picked a Micah last year too, but this one to be excited about. Gotta get the stench of Gettleman out of that stadium!

I’m planning a trip for this fall, likely the Maryland game on Oct 15th. This may be homecoming, but I haven’t seen anything officially announced yet. Am I losing my mind or are hotel prices in Bloomington insane right now? $700+ a night are the rates I’m seeing that weekend.

Thanks everyone. Looks like the La Quinta is at least under $400/night…not ideal but it may just be a one night trip. I could always forgo the hotel and go paratrooping instead.

Emoni Bates in the portal.

Does last decade include Kentucky’s 2012 title? Don’t understand how they’re below Michigan if it does. Otherwise nice work, would be nice to see some data behind this.

If it was south of 17th then he’s a huge idiot instead of an idiot.

Nine teams in the tournament and the conference will be lucky to have two teams get through to the second weekend. Plenty of competitive teams, but still only one national title in the last 31 years. Another year, the same story. So what can be done about this? IU has had its own issues the last 20 years, but it is not just an “us” problem. Should we start the BTT a day earlier and end on Saturday? Should the conference officiating change to allow for a more finesse style of play that translates to the NCAAT? We’re getting plenty of talent and usually fielding several contending teams a year, but come tournament time it’s egg after egg. What else is there to it?

With Purdue now out, the obvious is being said - Link

And then there were none…

It definitely helps expedite a rebuild. The downside is between transfers and 1&done, it’s getting harder to connect with players and identify them as a “true Hoosier” or a “real Dukie.”

So what’s the portal rule now? Grad transfers are immediately eligible, but do underclassmen need to sit a year again or is it still immediate eligibility for everyone?

Are folks now off the Ben McCollum train since he had a down year going 32-5?

Yea in 2018. I was there and it was played on March 1st.

Also thought he got fouled there.

Not a clue, honestly.

That he was a step up from Bobby Gonzalez and helped get the program back to relevancy. Doesn’t sound like he’s broken up over him likely leaving though.

My buddy was used to be a student manager for seton hall bball while he went there. He is very confident that Holloway is going there after Willard goes to Maryland.

Here’s how “Cinderella-ey” they truly are. I’m originally from northern NJ and grew up 25 minutes from Jersey City. I’m also the son of a college professor who taught at a university in northern NJ for 40 years. I had never heard of Saint Peters until the second half of the Kentucky game…and neither had most of my friends from back home.

He’s Seton Hall bound. And Willard is going to Maryland.

We may be seeing history in the women’s tournament today. South Carolina up on 16 seed Howard 44-4 at halftime. Howard is 1-26 from the field in the first half.

How many FGs have we hit this half?
