Proud to be the bridesmaid to OGIUAndy's league championship. I gave it my best but it wasn't quite good enough. So CONGRATULATIONS on a season well played. Hold your head high and brag a bit. You earned the honor. Big time thanks to LIHoosier for running the league again this year, and dealing with the chaos caused by the site crashes. In a year dominated by our march to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, it is easy to lose sight of the enjoyment and connection you have made possible for we hardy few who have enjoyed the competition. May next year be every bit as challenging and rewarding as 25-26. I can hardly wait. HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS.

I finished 7th with 56 points. This is getting really weird.

Only because we are at home. INDIANA 74 IOWA 72

I think this is the first time I have picked against an Indiana team this year. INDIANA 68 MSU 74

Indiana 75 Nsbraska 73

Hard to beat a team twice in a year. That said the Hoosiers are on a roll. Indiana 4 TD = 28 Total = 28 Oregon 3 TD = 21 1 FG = 3 Total = 24

It was in the spring two years ago and my wife and I were returning from an RV trip to southern Alabama. We stopped over night at a baseball stadium parking lot in Birmingham. I can't remember the name of the place but it is where the SEC holds their baseball tournament. Full hook up and pretty good, considering we were in a tree lined parking lot. Anyway I struck up a conversation with a fellow camper who was there long term with his daughter while he underwent cancer treatment. We sat for about two hours under a tree and talked Bama and Hoosier football. We had just signed Coach Cig. Wish I could remember his name. He was totally gracious and we parted by wishing each other good luck and wishing for the day when out teams would meet in a meaningful game. One of the best football conversations I have ever had. Hope he made it this far and remembers our conversation. I will always. INDIANA (The real BIG RED) 4 TD =28 1 FG =3 TOTAL = 31 ALABAMA 2 TD = 14 2 FG =6 TOTAL = 20

Good to be back playing Kentucky. Kentucky is 6-4. The 4 losses were to Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina and Gonzaga. All are ranked teams. Three of those losses were by significant margins. The six wins were against stiffs of the week talent. All were ranked lower than 250 and most were in the 300s. Where do we fit in to that pattern? I'm thinking that Kentucky will be punching at about their own weight. Problem is which IU team will show up for the game. Indiana 80 Kentucky 77

Only 8 undefeated teams left. IU obviously isn't one. After losing two game that we could have but didn't win, which team is going to show up for this one? How long is coach going to stay with the lineup that started the Louisville game 0-16? I think they need a bit more chemestry before Christmas. Nevertheless I think we win this one. Ha Ha. Got this one in before the site crashed again. Indiana 82 Penn St 69

Putting this in way too early, but I'm not trusting the forum to stay up. Indiana 3 TDs= 21 2 FG = 6 TOTAL = 27 OSU 3 TDs =31 1 FG = 3 TOTAL = 24

We have some big games on the horizon. How is coach going to handle this game? He has a foot on the gas mentality. Wouldn't want to get into bad habits right? On the other had we need to go into the post season as healthy as possible. Depending on the lead I think we pull the starters by the 4th quarter but still tell the bench guys to go go go. Don't think we can match last years masacre in Bloomington. Hoosiers 6 TDs = 42 Total = 42 Losers from W Laugh -aye-et 1 TD = 7 1 FG = 3 Total = 10 (In other words they play over their heads)

Thank you.

I'm a bit late to the party this year (been distracted by football). At present we have four players not playing. leaving us with only 9 healthy bodies + walkons. Does anybody have a status report for those four and any idea if and when they might return. I know that Acimovic played mop up minutes in the first exhibition. I'm guessing that he might be a candidate to red shirt but that is just a guess. Ristic, I think, played on our summer trip. He might have an ankle injury. Harris. I have no idea what is going on. The same for Drake. Hate to be shorthanded all season. You know injuries are going to come at some point, not to mention those games where the fouls mount up.

We play these chump teams in order to get our act together. Unfortunately sometimes it causes us to lose focus. See last game. Maybe this time we will get a hint of what kind of coach we have. Guessing that we look better than we did against IW, or else. Closest similar game for Lindenwood to this game is Texas Tech, a 98-60 loss. Only common opponent is Alabame A&M, a 74-65 loss. We crushed those guys. Hoosiers 104 Those guys 58

Who are these guys? The only other school that offered for Priller. They lost to Colorado State 98-64 and then crushed two small Christian schools. We have to be better that col st. Indiana 100 Woody 62

In six Big Ten games Wisconsin has scored only 40 points while giving up 153. Wisconsin has only scored 4 touchdowns in league play. This can be a big time blowout but Indiana is starting to get nicked up a bit. We need to get healthy again. Expect that to hold down the score a bit as we play the bench a bit more. At least that is the way I would play it. Coach Cim may see things differently. Hoosiers 5 TDs = 35 1 FG = 3 Total = 38 Wisky 1 TD = 7 Total = 7

Indiana 93 Milwaukee 69

Tossed a coin and it came up Hoosiers. At this time of the year and with a team this new, what else can you do? Hoosiers 75 Marquette 74

IU should win this game. Our defense has only given up 20 points once (Oregon). Penn St has only beaten Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Not a one is a football school. They have three losses to common opponents, Oregon (-6), UCLA (-5), and Iowa (-1). I see before me a team that has no heart. They showed some effort early against OSU before rolling over in the second half and lost by 24. Personally I think we are better than OSU. I'm just not sure how much better but 5 sounds about right. BTW I expect Penn State to win their last three games against the bottom feeders in the conference and thus end with 6 wins and a bowl game - if anyone wants them. Indiana 6 TDs = 42 Total = 42 Penn St 1 TD = 7 2 FG = 6 Total = 13
