I guess my lighthearted humor wasn't lighthearted enough.

Notre Dame paid Northern Illinois $1.4 million for the right to piss off their fans, be knocked out of the polls, and put their coach squarely on the hot seat..

This site is mentioned in the College Basketball Blue Ribbon Yearbook, particularly this thread, in the assessment of the coach

Mullins at Michigan - they lose. Haralson at ND - they lose. A good sign they both need to come to IU where we know how to win football games!

Spending his weekend in South Bend. Probably would have been more fun in DeKalb, Illinois.

Alaska is the foundation!? We're effed.

How about spending Valentine's Day at Assembly Hall for a home game against UCLA? I think that is on the schedule.

ESPN has ND 10th in spite of losing at home to 28.5 point underdog NIU…. If IU wore ND uniforms we would probably be a top 15 team..LOL

Rabby said it’s between us and ND and MSU is trying to make up ground. At this point I would be pretty surprised if we didn’t land him.

We had some pretty big strong freshmen playing on defense in the second half. Makes for interesting prospects for the future.

NIU with a 2 point lead and 31 sec. left. I love it!

This one certainly feels like a thing. Has already made multiple visits. Pretty gushy about IU in a couple of different interviews. I believe it was Hulls that watched him at an NXT event this summer when there was literally no other kid there with IU interest.

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.

Guess he forgot to google Cig.

Weird to be on this end of history...

You're really weird dude

I cleaned up my original post a bit for clarity's sake. He may or may not go to IU, but my overall point is, having followed a lot of recruiting over the past few years, there doesn't really seem to be a lot of validity to 95% of the rumors so I take most with a grain of salt. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the rumors and find them interesting, but some stuff is hard to prove unless you're getting it from the horses mouth so to speak.

FWIW UConn's fans don't seem to find Zanetto credible when it comes to breaking recruiting news. Quite amusingly, some of their fans are noticing Braylon "has a poker face" in all his recruiting pictures but that he has a "clenched smile" with UConn and UK staffs, so they must be in the lead. And of course, they think UConn is obviously the best fit for him, mainly concerned that IU will outdo them in NIL to keep him home. I'd be a little surprised if he doesn't go to IU but I haven't followed closely and don't really know ****

Can’t imagine he doesn’t leave with an offer.

Adam Howard at it again.

No doubt, just like a 4yr old likes sprinkles on ice cream. They are useless and stupid, but exciting to immature minds.

While it is silly, it is definitely noticed by recruits

Think of yourself as the solid foundation that we all build upon.
