Tyler Morris will serve the same role as Brady, and then some.

Purdump has front line problems. Getting Hermie Loyer back won’t solve that.

With the covid year haven’t we had this same situation for the past few years?

If we have a spot, it seems like Staes would be a great fit.

I thought the same thing. I realized that I could solve the problem by going to the road game that will be a quasi-home game at Rutgers. Staying in New York City in October, which is epic, and that stadium is gonna be at least 50% IU fans. And the tickets were really good for a really good price.

Don’t give up! “NotJ0N”

I thought the world’s worst defendant was James Blackmon Jr. and that whole chair-guarding debacle.

Never been much for Lebanese music. Beirut should stick to falafel.

Nah… I don’t know anything but he back.

If that's the case, I propose we "crush his hopes and dreams and cast them into the gutter like garbage with-out a second thought."

That's some quality message-boarding right there, is what that is.

Schott is projected as extremely talented. He is most likely to be the guy. Barker seems like an afterthought that is big enough to be an effective blocker. Thiry keeps getting the 'not ready' tag from Cig, even after a year+ with the program. Gibbs? Even as a true freshman he's giving off those "we got something here" vibes.

He didn't even play in the spring game while recovering from injury. He is a true freshman. And yet, Cig has mentioned him repeatedly as part of the tight end conversation. It sure seems like we brought Schott in to be the starter, but 6'2", 245lb true freshman Trevor Gibbs from Crown Point is one to watch. He's also a mature personality in interviews.

And Aaron Craft.

^^This^^ Part of a successful team is challenging the players and having extremely high standards, but not making them feel like they're getting sh!t on.

I was at the Peach Bowl. For the time surrounding Ponds' pick six it approached the loudest stadium I have ever been in. I'm getting old and there have been many great ones, but here are the loudest sports moments I have witnessed in person in my life: Northwestern over #2 UM - college hoops, January, 1977. McGaw Hall in Evanston was an unsafe structure with the old arena shaking so badly. Northwestern was terrible and had lost by 40 to that UM team a month earlier. Felt like the ultimate David vs Goliath upset. Ponds pick six and the hours that followed: Peach Bowl 2026, IU over Oregon: Chicago White Sox 5, Kansas City Royals 4 in 10 innings. July 31, 1977. The Sox go down two in the 10th and score three - pandemonium - the crowd starts sing "Na Na Na Hey Hey" with nobody on and never stops until they win. The supposedly lowly South Side Hitmen take over first place in a sold out Comiskey. Wanna hear the best announcer ever in his prime? Pick up Harry Caray at the 2 hour, 50 minute mark: March 12, 1988 Hoosiers 116, Iowa 89 at Assembly. Pure bedlam as we couldn't miss against a highly ranked Iowa team.

I am fully aware that here are good reasons that NFL teams don’t start rookie qbs right away, but Fernando Mendoza is currently slated to back up… this guy:

More football takeaways from Cig today: Grant Wilson is quarterback 2, not Tyler Chery. The freshman Gibbs was mentioned by Cig (again) as a candidate for the starting tight end job. Bray, not Drew Evans currently penciled in at center.

Cig with a bit of an understatement today: "I thought we took some necessary steps forward last season."

"Joey? Eat yer damn brussel sprouts or I'll bring Reed Bailey back to play for the Hoosiers." "But mommmmmm!!!!"

It's not that he says evocative stuff. It's that when he chooses to say evocative stuff he is 100% spot on right.

As some of you may know, I have had a 180 turnaround on my opinion of Paul BaldTrollDumb@$$. Yes - he trolls hard. But if you pay attention his trolling is really comical and masterfully done, and when he pulls back the curtain and speaks truth, he is really funny and really perceptive. Here is an interview from this week where he pulls back the curtain and is funny and perceptive:

Bring this accomplished Hoosier big man back to Bloomington!! I will leave it to y'all to discuss which one.

Think of Cig as April Ludgate and Barry Odom as "Tynnyfer." Cig: "He's the worst coach I've ever met. I want to travel the state with him."
