My point is: It’s both, but mainly the football team. The attendance for Chicago State was pretty good yesterday. Just watched Colgate play at the defending national champions. Maybe 5,000 in attendance.

Agree. But my point is that given all of the football awesomeness for IU sports fans, it was a given that this time of year with crappy games was going to bring basketball apathy. With football like it is, if hoops was 10-20 ranked and playing Chicago State this week I’m guessing there’d still be a fairly similar situation.

The football team is #1 ranked and one of the final eight in the nation and basketball just played a mid-December game against Chicago State, and y’all are apathetic? okay then. Winning big cures all apathy, sure. And times change.

Are you implying that Franimal’s teams are not defensively elite?!!? Sacrilege.

Nips, I have no idea what this video has to do with any thread, but it’s Saturday night and who am I to question it.

MY MUTHA FUGGERS LOST AT THE BUZZER TO RUTGER?!!?

The Franimal Quakers and mighty Rutger gonna go down to the wire. Franimals by three with five minutes left.

Marquee matchup for the night? Rutger has a home game against the mighty Penn Quakers led by Coach Franimal!! Here’s no surprise; Quakers have jumped to an early lead, 21-15.

Pretty Woodson-ey of you, no? FWIW, if we had anyone that could score near the rim our numbers wouldn’t be so skewed. But it looks like we don’t.

Exactly Style is good. Executing is a tough ask with no serviceable bigs on the roster.

New style of play is excellent. Gotta have a rim protector to pull it off. ps: I’m no incurable optimist; had IU by 22 in the prediction pool.

How will we know when he does if he’s not playing? ;)

We are the classic ‘doughnut team’. Big hole in the middle.

Still giving up too many offensive rebounds. Everything else looks squared away. 36-18 Hoosiers

Chicago State pregame huddle: ”Our style of play is ‘suck’. How can we play this game in our style?” ”I know! Let’s not guard Wilkerson.”

A&M and Miami seems to be a relatively even matchup, except for that Marcel Reed is a way better QB than Beck

ESPN Staff predictions for the Oregon James Madison game tonight: ESPN Andrea Adelson: Oregon 55, JMU 13 Kyle Bonagura: Oregon 49, JMU 24 Bill Connelly: Oregon 41, JMU 24 David Hale: Oregon 35, JMU 13 Eli Lederman: Oregon 38, JMU 10 Max Olson: Oregon 34, JMU 17 Adam Rittenberg: Oregon 38, JMU 13 Mark Schlabach: Oregon 51, JMU 17 Jake Trotter: Oregon 38, JMU 10 Paolo Uggetti: Oregon 38, JMU 14 Dave Wilson: Oregon 44, JMU 13 __________________ Why does this make me very much think that the score of this game is gonna be close and that Oregon is going to get scared shitless win or lose.

The pundits need talking points—can’t begrudge them for that. But the game is played on the field. If Bama can beat this IU team and our staff’s gameplan? Major kudos to them. But I highly doubt they can.

Chico’s Bail Bonds

Indiana University Hoosiers: One million points. Alabama Tidals: No points and a postgame written apology for soiling the field with their presence.

Need a massive hit of Bama fan copium? Take one of these: https://www.secrant.com/rant/alabama-sports/i-like-our-chances-against-indiana-in-the-rose-bowl/121943073/

Good lord Mateer was awful after the first quarter. His mechanics are so completely backwards.

To me, Simpson looked like a good quarterback without extraordinary talent. Comparable to Luke Altmeyer with lesser running ability. I absolutely love our chances, even more so than if we were playing Oklahoma.

That field goal was no good. The refs have by far a better view than the cameras. They stand directly under the goalpost and if it’s over their head or wide it is no good
