Louis wins!!!! He is eligible the rest of the season. Very helpful for our secondary. The NCAA:

Committed!

Love this opening statement from Bielema here, and what this implies about Cig, the program and leadership.

Pretty nice gesture.

It’s nice Chase committed in spite of the damaging Rabby narrative that we’re broke. ;-)

This may be my favorite message board post of the night, and it’s from an Illinois fan on an Illinois board. This Illini fan was at the game. His impressions:

Just announced Notre Dame will move networks. IU will stay on NBC

For anyone that wants to hear this.... Fisch with the call IMG_0431.MOV

The Dude abides. I wasn't aware there was a basketball section on this thing. ;-)

Cig clearly did not. He began pulling starters at the end of the third quarter and didn't throw a pass in the fourth quarter. Illinois was mentally and physically broken in the second half. Cig could have named the score.

Remember when Bielema beat us 83-20 in 2010? IUFB remembers Put that fat f*** in the dirt.

Big picture I didn’t think we were bad today. Obvious situational issues, but you have a damn good staff staring at you across the field when you line up against Iowa. I think today’s score can be an aberration just like the Illinois one was. Full faith in the staff to clean things up going forward, but when it came down to it we made the plays we needed to make on both sides of the ball. I’m over the moon to win a game like that in a place like that.

Reporter: “Fernando, what will you remember most about your first B1G road game?” Mendoza: “Fantastic atmosphere here in Iowa. I’ll remember all of our teammates coming together. It wasn’t the prettiest.it was just a band of brothers, and the boys winning it in the fourth quarter. Sticking together through the good, the bad, and the ugly. And all that matters is that we got the win. Hats off to Iowa; fantastic defense, and fantastic opponent. —————————————————- Reporter: “Coach, this is your first time in Kinnick Stadium. What will you remember from this win?” Cig: “Sarrat running into the end zone for the win.” I’m with Coach.

Hope @Lebowski doesn't mind too much if I interrupt his football posting frenzy and slip a little something in about a bball commit. lol https://x.com/i/status/1970209707228065818

Procedure went well. Back home. Hoping it keeps things right for a long time.

I found myself incredibly light headed this weekend and eventually went to the ER. Seems my heart is in Afib. New for me, but brother and both parents dealt with this. Drs seem optimistic and I have a procedure tomorrow to shock in back into rhythm. Drs are all optimistic but I am a bit discouraged tbh. Have been able to drop about 30 lbs this year and got my BP down from high to normal as a result. So to have this set back is frustrating. I am not sure how this will impact things but we had hoped to travel back to IN this weekend to see our new grand daughter. Then the next 2 weekends to watch our daughter play soccer (we only get to see about 1/3 of her games in person). So I know I should be thankful it is not a major problem but getting in shape, dropping weight, changing diet was supposed to help keep this stuff at bay right. Would appreciate your prayers for patience, thankfulness and quick healing.

Guess I should have recorded my reunion.

Teams take after their coaches. Allen would’ve been doing cartwheels since the second quarter if he ever had a game like this at IU while Coach Cig looks like he’s having the worst day of his life while he’s up 63-10.

Somewhere in the south Paul Finebaum is in a padded room rocking back and forth right now.

Yeah the biggest college football game on NBC today is playing in Bloomington not South Bend.

Hot Take: Prime Time game on a slow CFB weekend. Mendoza enters the Heisman race after a statement victory for the Hoosiers.
