From two years ago: Indiana: “I have a friend who recently committed to Indiana, Jakai Newton. We are teammates on the circuit, and he is a really tough player, so I know what they are looking for to build their team.”

The level of professional sports reporting with your pregame preview is outstanding! Lol Much like their men’s team last night, Ruger is likely to be emotionally inspired knowing that Dylan Harper will be one of them

But not a break?

I would hope so. We are 2-0 in conference. We will very likely win all three cupcake games without him. Let's hope we can get him to complete 100% before he's back.

True. True.

So why can't OSU offer him an insurance policy funded by their NIL collective?

Not so crazy. Why shouldn't a top ten team's football revenue, and therefore their player budget rival that of an NFL team? Not sure how college can compete with a multi-year pro deal though. If open season NIL is what they wanted and what's allowed, this is a logical progression. It's the New York Yankees vs the Oakland A's college football style.

Counter-narrative ...neither team hits shots: Auburn 65 IU 59

Nebraska, PSU, and Maryland appear to be completely dead programs, and Minnesota is pretty bad too. We have seven B1G games left against those teams; I think it is absolutely reasonable to think that we will win about 6 of those remaining games. And we are 2-0 in conference. This is looking like it is going to be a solid season at a minimum.

I'd love to be wrong, but there will be such a talent gap for awhile that I suspect we will get destroyed by decent teams throughout the first season or two. However, I have real hope that we can play with and prevail against the Purdoos and Western Kentucky's of the world far better than we have.

On rare occasions I root for them: Mo Creek. Al Durham.

A meh Wake Forest team finishes tonight’s destruction of Ruger. Apparently the pregame “win this one for Dylan Harper” speech did not resonate.

Not a Jeff Buckley falsetto. More like a bouncy, thin tenor. Truly fits what they do tho.

That’s some high level IU attention. We must like him a lot. Or maybe Woody has an Indy steakhouse on his mind. Definitely one of those two things.

Kimono My House. There’s your Sparks album to start with. Oh, and here’s hoping that you don’t need your lead singer to be a baritone or bass.
