My grandson saw the surgeon this morning. They are doing the femur fracture repair on Thursday, and 6-8 weeks later they will do the ligament repair. The doctor called it a "horrific injury", and said that at his age, you generally get ligaments to pop or bones to break, but rarely both. Keep the prayers coming. Appreciate you all.

Let's get this puppy going. FS1 will have Noah Reed (play-by-play) & Robert Smith (analyst) on the call for the game. ODU was 5-7 last season. Spread was 22.5 on Sunday. Preview & Game Notes Live Stats

Great work from Myles.

And I will have Fisch and the Suhr with a personality on the call, thank you very much.

UK names their QB starter who is entering his 7th year of college

Beyond excited for Hoosier football and the start of IU fall sports. I really believe that barring injuries, we're looking at a 9-3 / 10-2 season. Unfathomable for the old IUFB! No self imposed limitations since Cig got to town. Let's smack these fools

Not for nothing, but that rally towel critter looks more like a warthog than a bison: Bison: Warthog:

I won't be surprised if we don't cover the score. "The game's gonna be hard. I expect a really tough challenge from Old Dominion. We're going to have to play really well." -Coach Cig https://www.on3.com/teams/indiana-hoosiers/news/opposing-coach-qa-old-dominion-head-coach-ricky-rahne-previews-week-1-matchup-with-indiana/

Five poser-@$$ second tier schools and one Cignetti-led blue blood. Easy peasy get.

We survived Kinney's KU visit this past weekend without committing and hopefully Allmond's visit will be likewise.

Gotta be tough for the young man knowing how long is recovery is going to take. Do all you can to keep his spirits up and really focused on the rehab he'll undergo.

Was setting NFHS favorites for this season last night and didn’t bother with Gaskins.

I messaged you

Another offer that never really got off the ground.

Oregon is the surprising. Personally we absolutely want Illinois and Oregon to gel and put together good seasons….right after we kick their teeth in

Agree - person to person yields more info.

I requested 4 tickets for a friend and there has not been any communication regarding whether my request will be fulfilled or denied. That's par for the course with off site events and typically even when informed that request can be fulfilled there is no indication about what price point the seats will be at. It's a bit of a grab bag unfortunately.

Here's your Saturday B1G game planner

Game week!!!! How tired are you hearing from your closest friends (some of them fans of IU sports) that IUFB was kind of a fluke last year and that this year will only be a 5 or 6 win season? This is the week where it all starts to finally shut all the naysayers up!

It's nice that we can actually score goals now. It'd be even nicer if we'd stop falling behind 2-0.

Cignetti and school choice will grow football in our state, much like Peyton did.

EXHIBITION Yes, it is a good early test but the fact is, it is still just an exhibition. Remember IU vs TN last year.

Yea. KR was really good. Fernando probably won't match him in some aspects. My hope is Fernando can give us another dimension with his mobility, which can hopefully help us fare better vs. the top-10 defenses/teams we struggled against last year. He's got some big game experience and he was the most (or close to it) sacked QB last year. Our OL, running game, and coaching staff should be a whole new world for him. I can't wait to see to what extent all of that elevates his game this season...
