    I’m not totally kidding when I say Michigan would be better off playing Jack. Warren is friggin terrible. Orji must be AWFUL.

    It’s really something to watch Michigan’s play calling. They have a dude at QB who’s been in the program 4 years, and yeah, he hasn’t played, but presumably he knows the offense cold. And yet they are calling the game around him. They don’t trust that kid in any way.

    I remember that. What a disaster. On a football level, around that same time, they were forced to start offering partial scholarships and that was pretty much the death blow to the program, especially being in the Missouri Valley at the time.

    This very true. My grandson was on the team on scholarship for one year. They suspended classes in the spring semester because they couldn't afford to pay the professors. He left school after that and joined the Navy.

    I agree. Last year, this was probably more like 38-17 win.

    Partially because of last night and partially because the school itself is hanging on for dear life.

    Connor Bazelak is taking Tom’s defense behind the woodshed so far today. Poetry.

    Prediction League RESULTS Thread

    We all picked IU to win, but not by nearly enough. Some guy @LIHoosier won with a measly 112 pts, getting W Illinois' score right along with @cthomas @DireBump and @VPC. I remembered to add the average score this week like the BBall results last year. Since the lowest score is removed, the total tally is the better of the two games thus far.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    Funny, watching the match yesterday I was thinking he even has the same demeanor lol. I was also a big Conner, Borg, Agassi tennis watcher, those guys were so much fun to watch, turned to women’s tennis with the drop off in the men’s game, the big change the Williams sisters brought, Hingis, Seles, and now the incredible depth in women’s tennis (hoping Coco grows up mentally soon and brings more of a killer instinct, she’s good enough to be dominant but doesn’t like stress and didn’t bring it this season). that Fritz-Tiafoe match was a battle, T just ran out of gas. The US men are on the cusp of getting back, going to be really tough to take down Sinner, but great to see Fritz- the US - back in the US Open final

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    I used to follow tennis quite a bit -- back in the days of the McEnroes, Connorses, Lendls, Agassis, Edbergs, Samprases and even a bit into the Federers. But admittedly, I haven't paid attention in awhile. This is Taylor Fritz, the American who's playing for the U.S. Open title Sunday. Didn't even know who he was until I saw something about him recently on ESPN. He bears a bit of a resemblance to a certain fifth-year IU guard from Culver, does he not?

    We can discredit the competition all we want, but this is a much better team than we had last year. They showed discipline and poise. No stupid drive killing penalties or acting like a fool. I'm not sure last year's team could have scored 77 points against a high school team.

    …that’s not our problem. Lol I don’t feel sorry for him or the team one bit. …besides he walked out of Memorial Stadium with $450k for his school for playing IU.

    I didn't see it, I was reporting at my high school game. But when your school got blown out and has lost 26 games straight, you aren't likely gonna be civil.

    Yeah I saw that. Not sure what he wanted Cig to do differently? I thought he called things as respectively as possible.

    Did you catch the “blow by” from the WIU coach with Coach Cignetti at the end? It definitely seemed cold…
