    College Football Thread

    It is not only the amount you have to pay Miles to consider but he is used to having highly paid assistant coaches with him. Could PU double (maybe triple) the head coaching salary and more than double to cost for top coordinators?
  2. Cody Zeller's seemed to be similar. UNC and IU seemed ahead and sources from both were convinced. Butler may have been behind but there seemed to be some small buzz occasionally with them too.
  3. Will it be open today for people to check out?
  4. Going down for a game - I don't mind paying to park. Any suggestion on parking? We will be down early roaming around campus - when should I head over to the stadium and where would you recommend we park
  5. What does "numbers game" mean?
  6. Why would we not take both?

    (2017) PF Billy Preston to Kansas

    This kind of feels a bit like the lose out on Trey Lyles but somehow land Noah recruitment.
  8. For me, OG is down the list for why I think this team could be really good. TB, a key starter from last years team is back. He played well against some good bigs last year and played well over a lot of minutes. JBj has to have a good year for us to be really good. A great year and we finally break though the sweet sixteen. RoJo should hopefully become that steady, more consistent player on both offense and defense. If RoJo can protect the ball and bump his scoring up a few more buckets/game then we will be a tough team to beat. OG, if he can become a starter or 6th man and continue his play over extended minutes (like vs UK) then again we become hard to beat. I think TB, and either JBj or RoJo need to have a pretty good bump up from last year for us to be great. If they are basically the same players as last year we would need OG to be all big ten just to be good.

    Nebraska's DC Mark Banker

    We have a new DC so maybe it came with him. I am pretty sure in the past we may have thought we were still signals but the way we played we just misinterpreted a yawn.
  10. To be fair, in 2 of his 3 years at UCLA Alford has gotten them to the sweet 16.

    Colts / NFL Game Thread

    Luck played better when he had the freedom to run as things broke down. He has also lost a lot of offensive coordinators and QB coaches his first few years. If things stabilize and he judiciously adds the run escape he will be alright.
  12. Would there be a time when the staff would not push for a headliner? Even if you get one headliner I think you push for another. Or is this a case where they are close with a headliner and are pushing him to make a decision more sa than normal

    Indiana defeats MSU! Postgame Thread

    I may be misremembering but while Suds had some great stretches he has some slides/down stretches too right.

    Bring Polian back. Yeah his hand off to his son was bad but he was great at building teams

    (2017) SF Justin Smith to IU

    Ok for those of us late to The show, what is Justin ranked, who does he compare to

    Looking to next season

    Anyone know when the crossroads classic tix go on sale?
  19. D can't get any pressure whatsoever. None.
  20. Seems every year we lose one we should not have lost. Game is not over but too many mistakes today against a capable opponent
  21. I am missing something - what did he say
  22. I think you can question things and not freak out. Prior years we were not sitting in such a position of strength as we are now. Plus so many had said we were in really good shape with the 2017 class.
  23. This is a good point. Judging just based on commits vs official visits does not reflect the energy and time committed to many others who may never get to campus. That time and energy could have been directed to others. Crean is a tireless worker - no doubts about that.
  24. Going to have concerns at some point right? We should be at a recruiting peak right now. BT champs. Several guys to the NBA recently. A lot of guys likely gone next year. Playing time looks favorable for about all positions except maybe wing and yet Crean always has a lot of wings. 2017 is loaded class so with that and our recruiting strength we should start having commitments from our top choices.
