Maybe, but because of the NFL-level skills and the added oompf to his story, he is trending to be MUCH more. Also, (though Tebow has proven to be a great guy) there was less relatability to Tebow. Nando will have a beer and let the F word occasionally slip. And unlike Tebow he's portrayed as a rise from nothing underdog who led the Rocky-like champion, and with a great family backstory. Exhibit A? The world's single largest circulation tabloid, the Daily Mail has this: And this: on its cover page today.

Here's a hot take: Public perception is aimed at turning our guy Fernando into the Taylor Swift of football. As in, the talented person that is universally loved and relatable, and never really steps in a pile of ****. If Nando is a plus impact NFL quarterback he's got potential to be one of the highest profile sports celebrities on the planet.

The most Purdue Football Tweet ever. They signed a kicker recruit yesterday. Here is the reaction from their official fansite page:

I’m thinking my next dog will be named Bones. Kinda fits.

Didn’t know that Wheeler had a year left. C’mon Tyrique… STAY MY MAN!!!!!

No IU portal entries yet? That's surprising and wonderful. There will be some - there's gotta be, but the longer this runs the less chance there will be too many.

One of the team's true unheralded superstars, Tyrique Tucker, motions to the fans during the trophy presentation:

The look on Cig's face as Fernando delivers his usual post-game cliches: Followed one second later bya Cig head snap and look as Fernando breaks from the script and screams LET'S FU**ING GO!"

"Let's ******* GO! (on the Jimmy Fallon Show)"

As he should! Here's to DeAngelo Ponds, the best pound for pound football player in the history of IU, and maybe the best pound for pound football player in the history of college football.

I'll attempt to answer each of your questions: What am I not sure about? I'm not sure if Harris would be any help at all to our front line. Actually; I was trying to be kind. I doubt that Harris would be much help at all. Yes; Harris was healthy in Puerto Rico. Full practices and plenty of minutes, though largely in garbage time. If everybody's stats have translated he'd be about as good in garbage time as he was then, and that's not especially helpful. Hope I'm wrong btw.

The next couple of days are gonna to be critical for players leaving IU. Buckle up guys; there will be departures as soon as staff/player exit meetings happen.

Not sure about that. Harris is smaller than Alexis, never has played against high-major players, and when he was healthy in Puerto Rico got almost zero run.

Other than "You guys have got to stop" (on a message board we never stop lol) this is a great post.

Appears to have gone well.

I'M TELLINGhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa and nothing will stop me

You weren’t kidding! Everyone; take @tyappleg‘s advice and listen to Galen starting at the 20 minute mark. You will be so glad you did.

The first game of the Cignetti era:

Haven’t seen this one before:

Props to the Swanky Wolverine!

The master showman strikes again! The man can create drama like the Meryl Streep of sportscasters. Love you, BaldTrollDumb@$$!

ONLY BECAUSE I KEPT PICKING THE HOOSIERS BY A MILLION (it adds up after a while)

This one hit me where I live. Over and over. Love this group of fellow Hoosiers https://www.facebook.com/reel/911185658535366

It's ironic. I apparently finished last, but described the outcomes of the games the most accurately by far.
