I don't know the connections here, but I was impressed that he said he knows the issue with Hunter but that it isn't his place to publicly say it. Could be because he really doesn't know or could be a very respectful gesture (And good move legally). Regardless this is the only report mentioning Redshirt...

How does this work? Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s). It's a simple concept: Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week) +25 PTs if you guess the winner -25 PTs if you pick the loser +10 PTs if guess IU score correctly +10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter) -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter) *** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits. The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins.

WHY? I went rushing to twitter etc to see if there were breadcrumbs of him announcing today.... saw nothing... (I am not good at Twitter LOL). Is this just a true "I wonder" or something behind it?

Haven't followed them much this year... what happened to the other 3 scholly players? More transfers? Injuries? Red-shirts? DOWN WITH THE CATS!!! I hope every team in the SEC beats them! & UofL too!

Understand derailments happen from time to time, but I have already moved a full conversation about Butler to the game thread.... Lets please try to keep the Recruiting Threads player specific! Thanks for cooperation.

Moved all the Butler talk here from the Keion thread.

Going ok @HoosierAloha? Just checking on Week 6

I am happy he did this, otherwise we wouldn't be ranked... and for those of us who care about that I say thank you to Mr Couch!

Very interesting... Also interesting we are #24 on his ballot without those 8 teams most have ranked ahead of us... I mean we have won a game on the road... how come his standards don't like us?

Yep OG started the trend at IU (or was very early on)... last year many/most of the guys rolled the shorts... so this year they are all shorter so they don't have to roll them. Times always seem to repeat, shorts used to be short, then big and baggy was the trend... now function coming back and ease of movement outweighs the fashion look....

Some high score predictions... we haven't eclipsed 70 in 4 games and we have not show well historically at BLF.... IU 69 Butler 68 Can we really win another nailbiter?

Game 10 was yet another close 1... and yet again we pulled it out. Congrats to @BtownBanner6 & @mamasa for correctly Predicting IU's Final Score. Congrats to @JHoosier914, @mdn82, @MoyeNeeded, @NRT137, & @rcs29 for correctly predicting UofL's Final Score AND Congrats to @JHoosier914 for taking over the Top Spot on the leader board.

I hope you are right, although how often has a team pulled out 3 in a row of that type.... I feel like either IU runs away with it (ala Marquette game - Although not as early or as lopsided) or we are in trouble. I am not confident that we can win a close one against them....

I can't believe I am predicting this... I usually go with anayltics and will do so here, but I don't think it will be this easy.... IU 82 UofL 72

Seems everyone wants to crown Rob and bury Green.... I feel the opposite. All these comments about how Rob won us the game, but to me if it wasn't for Green we are way out of it and can never make the comeback in the first half. Rob didn't look good at all to me until a few HUGE plays at the end. But as much as our offense stalled in the final 4 minutes was because he stood at the half court circle and dribbled for 20 seconds every possession.... then started the weave at the top of the key and then we turned it over or had to take forced/rushed shots. Rob still isn't seeing the open guys in time... and he made some incredibly acrobatic shots that could have been easy passes to open guys. Fitzner has to be ready to shoot when he catches the ball... he is not good off the dribble or the step back, he is all catch and shoot so that is what he needs to do. Romeo on the other hand needs to continue to be aggressive with the ball in his hands and not necessarily take the catch and shoot shot, it doesn't look right when he shoots off the catch as if he doesn't have the rhythm. Morgan needs to keep doing what he is doing except the fouls. Smith just needs to be planted on the bench... his rebounds were big this game but I scream at him everytime he touches the ball it seems. I really feel like the only reason Clifton played was because he is from PA and maybe possibly had family at the game? He showed some potential though so it would be good to see more of him and Jake. Durham can be added to our "Dawg" list! McRoberts missed his only shot so badly I immediately commented to my wife that he won't take another shot for 3 games... then he passed up some open shots later in the game... he has absolutely NO CONFIDENCE in his shot.

Another close one, and it wasn't pretty at the end but a Road Win is a Road Win. Congrats to @muttcs66 & @HoosierAlohafor taking over the Top Spot on the Leaderboard.

Think that was actually a different situation than the shirt rip off and splits.... which was actually funny. The scenario you speak of was not funny at all and hopefully won't be allowed back at a game at the very least.

Watched on delay due to baseball practice.... gonna comment first then read the thread.... Smith needs to see a LOT more pine time... nothing about his game makes me smile. Green on the other hand is absolutely CLUTCH.... great crisp passes... timely shots... pressure defense...

IU 76 Northwestern 68 But I don't have a good feeling about this....
