Three win ceiling.

First surgery complete … femur repair done. Next surgery will be 6-8 weeks from now to do the ligament repair/reconstruction. Calf muscle should heal on its own, as should the tibia fracture. Thanks for your prayers.

Yea. Wisconsin is really slipping. Mediocre coach, they can’t hide in the Big 10 West anymore, and now other programs, including us, are starting to have some real recruiting success in their state. I’m finding these developments to be… enjoyable.

I imagine there are Cowboy fans around here. I don’t respect you, but I assume you exist. How ya feelin’ today?

Green Bay Own goal 2-1 Hoosiers now, don’t know who it will be credited too, nvm I didn’t hear it in the broadcast but they granted it to Ault

Just hit his 4th lol. Unreal.

So midseason form...

Gee, thanks! Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter! Now go back to sleep or watch a movie. Sheesh. LOL

2-0 deficit 2-0 deficit 1-0 deficit 2-0-1 Overall, Which is a lot better compared to previous years. Although playing behind in the 1H is a bit worrisome and hopefully that will be addressed soon. However, the 2H adjustments so far have been very good.

Meh. Popped out to short left field in his final at-bat.

Benson starting at RT. Welcome back to Bloomington.

Schwarbs with a 3-HR night gives him 48 on the season. Big Klu with 49 holds the season record for IU players in the big leagues hitting those in 1954. This was also his 35th multi-HR game.

Parker Navarro rocks. Ran for over 1k last year which is especially impressive in college where sack yards = negative rushing yards.

Boise getting rolled

That’s Jake Butt, who I’m afraid does not know what he’s talking about.

Oregon also got embarrassed by OSU in the playoffs (worse than us) and nothing about them either

Really tired of the “exposed in the playoff” chatter about IU. Based on our OSU/ND performances were we truly a threat to win it all? No, we were not, but you could say that same thing about 8 or 9 of the teams in the playoff. We 100% earned the right to be in the playoff. Tennessee got curb stomped 42-17 vs OSU, and was NEVER in the game, but how many “Tennessee was exposed in the playoff” comments are in the webverse? Virtually zero. Let’s prove it on the field again this year!!!

A 2nd visit already from Branham. That’s pretty good. Springfield, Mo to Bloomington is a hike. It’s not like he goes to Center Grove.

Tennessee signs Rick Barnes to a “lifetime contract.” Dude’s 71 and, I think, has 1 more year on his deal. So signing him to something like a 3 year extension probably would have served the same purpose. But structuring it like that is certainly a nice bouquet for the school to throw his way and he’s anbsolutely earned it.

For anyone that was wondering, I got my confirmation of tickets for Marquette about an hour ago in my email. Got lower bowl tickets at $100 apiece. Billing on September 2, so I’m assuming one could decide against taking them if they want to.

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

Fickell going there and immediately implementing the air raid was baffling. You will NEVER get the kids to Madison that run that effectively in this conference. If you squint you can see a Fickell/Cincy reunion on the horizon.

JK... pretty sure he's still at IMG, thank god

Keep your eyes on your own paper Bub! ;)

And for reasons like this, I also have a digital antennae receiver connected to my TV in case the Internet or problems with a streamer.

As a Cubs and IU fan this one pains me. Love Schwarbs though. Class act. Wish the Cubs upper management had some sense. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Pleased enough with this start. Talent is there this year without question. Gotta get some things figured out. I’m reeling a bit where my son lost their first game of the season last night 0-1 after outplaying the #1 team all game. Bit bummed. PS- our team is 3-1-1 now and hopefully get a rematch in sectionals or regionals for the revenge game. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I actually just got an email today from IU about my ticket request/order. Got three. So I am going too.

Gutsy 4th down call by Schiano instead of the FG. Me thinks he didn't want to give Parker the ball back.

Third game of the season and the third game we've trailed at the half as Green Bay maintains a 1-0 lead. We've had our chances firing off 12 total shots with 6 on goal and 8 corners. GB with just 3 total shots but all on goal and they made one of them count. They had 3 corners. GM has committed 10 fouls and had a player assessed a yellow card.

And Rutger defense sucks...

Undersized and threw a bunch of INTs last year; having a great game tonight.

I'm impressed with him. Kid has wheels too.

Good eye. That kid’s been really good.

Always thought UT (Texas) was silly to fire him, had them in the tourney every year, brought in Durant….

Heads up all you Sunshine State Hoosiers. IUWBB will be in the 2025 Coconut Hoops event Nov. 25-28 at Alico Arena on the campous of Florida Gulf Coast U. Per Talia Goodman, the event consists of Indiana, Iowa State, Marquette and Gonzaga. Marquette vs. Iowa State and Gonzaga vs. Indiana. The winners and losers will play on Sunday. https://coconuthoops.com/

FWIW I had the full ligament redo after tearing my ACL/MCL during an IU Law School HPER intramural game at age 24. After that surgery I had no bounce……………………Before that surgery I had no bounce!! :) Been many decades and my surgery knee is pretty much as good as the other one—good enough to have played 3 on 3 hoops at the city courts a few months ago on my 60th bday

He’s got great tools and was on draft boards before he committed here, but the projection certainly seems to be based on the combo of his tools and Cig and co.

I won't quit pointing out that Nate Tice, who knows more ball than 99.99999% of the population, had Fernando as his QB1 as far back as May. Enjoy him while he's here folks.

This weather has got me so jacked up for Saturday! I'm hoping the tailgating will be good this year. Couldn't get a spot in an actual lot, got regulated to what they're calling the White House haha

Last year, at South Carolina in front of 78,000 fans, Old Dominion only lost 23-19 and they should have won the game. South Carolina only scored 2 td’s both of which followed recovering OD fumbles inside the 10 yard line. ie South Carolina was not able to generate a TD “drive” longer than 10 yards the entire game!! OD out gained and outplayed South Carolina (which as a member of the SEC is obviously one of the best teams in the history of football) but shot themselves in the foot with 4 turnovers. We better be ready to play ( I have the utmost confidence that Cig will make sure that happens). Can’t wait!!

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.

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

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!

3rd Hoosier to make it to 1,000

I've never quite understood why parking is so tough for IUFB. We have a pretty modest stadium -- 52.5K capacity, and less the 8K students who aren't buying nice parking spots, about 44.5K people need parking. That's not a huge number. It seems like we have a lot of lots and fields around the stadium. But gosh darn is parking expensive and hard to get. I'm sure we just have less parking than I think, but sheesh. We sold about 34-35K season tickets and that alone pushed people to the Genesis Church! It appears (I could be wrong though) IU is now highlighting some more lots east of Fee for public parking given all the demand. Interesting stuff and a good problem.

11-1 We drop Oregon and everyone else has to get used to seeing IUFB in the CFP.
