Have waited until today to comb through Dane Brugler's The Beast. Kind of a yearly tradition for me. I'll provide his positional rank/draft ranges for each of our guys. 11 draftable grades. Nutty. Fernando - 1/1OA Black - 10/5th-6th Round Hemby - 16/7th round Vanhorse - 143/UDFA Cooper - 5/1st-2nd round (mocked 16OA to the Jets in his final mock) Sarratt - 12/2nd-3rd round EJ Williams - 60/UDFA Jonathan Brady - 68/UDFA Nowakowski - 14/5th Round Staes - 124/UDFA Benson - 29/UDFA Coogan - 10/6th-7th Round Kamara - 34/7th Round Wyatt - 100/UDFA Daley - 36/UDFA Ratcliff - 62/UDFA Fisher - 13/5th Round Ponds - 6/2nd Round Boykin - 51/UDFA Moore - 19/6th-7th Round

But let's jump on the kid coming off an ACL with an unrelated degenerative knee because he had a good year of tape and nice measurements.

They aren't the Bengals, but I wonder if this is still a pay raise from the notoriously cheap Pacers.

"Our final number was closer to 15 million than 40 million." -Cig Makes me think @Pagoda's estimates in that 22 area (correct me if I'm wrong, just going off memory) are pretty close to accurate.

We also suffer from Battered Woody Syndrome because 99% of the time, things on the inside aren't adversarial to the point that this would even be a consideration. Under Woody, it felt like they might have been.

We could never win another game and the pure joy the past 20 months have brought me would make every cent I’ve poured into this program in that span and before worth it.

I don’t buy for a second the assertion that IU’s scheme is vanilla. It’s very much not. Maybe I’m misunderstanding him. Do Gracie Bear’s boys pound you into submission physically and with flawless technique? Yes. Is it complex and leaves you guessing pre and post snap? Also yes. If Ty knew what they were actually doing before 5 broke him in half he may have thrown for more than 60 yards or whatever. The only thing he knew was coming was pain.

Gracie Bear simply won’t put up with that s**t.

Props to him for taking the L like a champ, but if his takeaway from that game was “they don’t do anything special and I knew exactly what I was seeing all day” …? Yikes. That’s not an accurate representation at all. Nor is it a good look for him or DeBoer.

Video pertains to the thread, but my point does not. I’ve had a decent sixth sense about QBs coming out in the past. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but Simpson doesn’t have a prayer imo. On the field he doesn’t impress me in the first place, but I’ve been seeing a lot of interviews with him recently and man he just doesn’t seem to be playing with a full deck upstairs.

Watched a minute-long cutup the other day of what I thought was, without reading the caption, some of our explosive pass plays of the year. Hole shot vs. Iowa, Becker TD in the Rose Bowl, and a few others. It was a Kaelon Black pass pro cutup.

Did some research on that rivalry one time. I think it was after visiting Lawrence and noticing that, while their eyes were on playing us, it was still pretty apparent that Mizzou was public enemy #1 there. That one goes a lotttt deeper than “our campuses aren’t too far apart, hate u lol!!!”

Starting to get curious about new seat selection as I selected that I'd like to move when I renewed. Wondering when I'll get my time slot, what kind of availability there will be to give IU more money than I had previous planned for, etc. @eddy4iuhearing anything about this?

Is she gatekeeping IUFB a year after being on the "they should never make the CFP again" bandwagon? What a goofball. Heather Dinich is a bad person.

We got grandfathered into "Archie Miller: more locked in than a CPA on April 15th" Related; I loathe Jon Rothstein.

This may be Ryan Carr’s biggest impact yet. Absolutely nothing leaks from the Pacers. Ever. The out-of-the-blue commit yesterday had Kevin Pritchard and Chad Buchanan written all over it.

When exactly was their national championship window open?

Are you telling me the guy that did this as a sitting head coach at the school whose banner is in the background is a giant weirdo and has trouble connecting with college kids?

You’re talking to the founding member of the Sam (rhymes with bomb) Squad bud.

As a Samet Yigitoglu ultra for the previous 7 minutes I am over the moon about this. I would die for Samet Yigitoglu.

I don’t think the Euro guys care about visiting at all. I dig it.

I don’t feel like digging through my files, but just imagine me posting the picture of Cig holding up the “Get F****d” sign and it’s directed at Tom Izzo.

Learning that his name is pronounced "moose-toff" is my Fyre Fest. I Mustaf missed that along the way.

Michael Durr? Who once upon a time absolutely dominated a Purdue game for entire seconds at a time? I'll take 3.
