Ah, nice. Didn’t realize they did football as well. The other scenario I was curious about out is if Oregon also ends with 1 loss. Unfortunately we are out in that one too. Though both of these are extremely unlikely scenarios.

Ok since I’m incapable of not thinking about worst case scenarios, what happens if we lose to PSU (I know, just win baby) and end up 11-1? For a spot in Indy, possible 1 loss teams, we have the tiebreaker covered against Iowa and Oregon. I believe we have the tiebreaker covered against USC with record against common opponents being 5-0 to their 4-1. Assuming the Iowa/Oregon/USC round robin about to happen ends with all three taking another L, The one scenario I can’t quite work out is if Michigan beats OSU and it’s us and those 2 with 1 loss. UM obviously has the tiebreaker against OSU, and I think OSU would have the tiebreaker against us with record against common opponents. With Michigan, we both have 1 loss and would be 4-0 against common opponents. I think it would come down to their win over OSU vs our win vs Oregon. Everyone still with me here? Cool. So, what if Oregon is also at 1 loss? My brain breaks at this point. It could come down to who is our 2nd best win vs. Michigan’s 2nd best. But also as I type this I’m realizing Oregon would also have the tiebreaker over Michigan by common opponent record and their win over USC. So that 4 way tie of 1 loss teams, I don’t know, does that come down the conference winning percentage of all opponents? Sheesh. Disclaimer: high likelihood I have something wrong here.

Yeah I had to do everything twice. Didn’t recognize my email, password, nor the discount code. Every time I was denied I just tried the same thing again and it worked. Well oiled machine over there.

Nearly 2 full pages, the best 1.5 seasons in program history, $800K > $3M > $8M > $11.6M, full stadiums and all of the other things and not a single mention of Scottie Dolson on the IUFB Rushmore?

This event was absolutely brilliant. Kudos to whoever came up with this.

I wanted to throw my phone when you posted this. Take a bow young man.

Man I hope that’s the case. The only acceptable explanation is that you’re supposed to leave a huge mess behind so some cleanup crew can generate some $$ for a good cause. Otherwise it was a pretty appalling display.

Great time today but an absolutely pathetic display in the grass lots after the game. This is only one example. What are we doing here??

Why can’t I buy an Indiana soccer jersey anywhere? This seems like a missed opportunity.

Curious if anyone is heading to the game at Oregon? I’m really torn on buying tix through IU, which are a fairly insane $160 each or secondary market where I could currently get a pair for that price. It’d be great to sit with the IU fans, but damn does that include a pregame meal or something?!? Is there something I’m not thinking of where that $160 each is worth it?

I keep thinking about the video he posted. It's a video that is used for a commitment. Why would we have made that video if he hadn't.....ya know? Is it a common thing for us to make a video like that for any recruit that visits? Did he post any kind of similar video from his UK visit? I don't know the answer to any of these questions. It was just odd to see that kind of video posted, which the IU side obviously edited and cut together, unless....ya know. Yet, maybe he is just keeping the same video on ice that UK made.

Oh yeah. I'm not defending Houston as a city. Never lived there but the several times I visited I spent more time in a car than I did actually doing anything. It's just ironic (if not just completely infuriating) to me to see so many of our cities limited in building density and other meaningful, impactful growth so desperately needed b/c of antiquated and restrictive zoning code. Yet our one example of a city mostly not burdened by that has chosen to build in the most sprawled way possible. What an opportunity missed.

I actually love this about Houston and wish more (or all) major cities would adopt it. Unfortunately combined with the overall city planning of Houston being so egregiously spread out and low density, it’s a massive opportunity squandered. But at least makes it much easier to build desperately needed housing.

Lol. This is a full blown commitment video without the actual commitment. I don’t think our fragile hearts can handle this new era of recruiting.

Not sure where you get the impression “we are all” unhappy with how the coach search went. If the portal goes like the coach search went I think the majority of folks will be thrilled with the roster.

https://givetoathletics.com/ For the inevitable Beard nonsense tonight. He’ll be at a program like Ole Miss forever. Even if he gets hired by UNC next season, he’ll be back at Ole Miss in no time. Best of luck!

Absolutely hammering that Florida -6.5

Happy to help!

HMBBCDDV has a nice ring to it.

So Stuhoo can’t get in on those neato tickets?

I think the better point here is that UK’s first year coach who many didn’t think was an impressive hire had a “pretty **** year” in a much better conference while securing a better seed than both PU and IL.

At this point I'm just disappointed we haven't started to categorize coaches as either Big Wink or Big W@nk. I apologize in advance. Edit: bleh...didn't think that one would catch the bad word filter. Good on you, mods.

I know what you mean but I audibly laughed at the thought of “us” flying from Indy to Bloomington which, presumably means driving from Bloomington to Indy first. Go get him Scotty!!

What sealed the deal for you, Brad? “BTB guy that showed up at Bridgestone with no pants. I signed on the spot.”
