10 3s and maybe just grazed the rim on 1? 2? Lordy.

Dad, gross.

That hoop is the size of Lake Monroe tonight. Insane performance.

There’s no catastrophic news. Stephen Daley is likely out for the rest of the season, which sucks out loud, but “catastrophic” is really dramatic.

Anyone actually received an email from IU about tickets? I applied but never got the email which makes me think I’m probably not getting tickets through the ticket office.

Feel pretty good about my $500 one-stopper in and out of Ontario that I booked an hour after the final horn sounded Saturday looking at the fares now. YIKES.

Fernando winning the Heisman right in the middle of the UK game will either make a rough evening WAY better or be the absolute sweetest cherry on top of an amazing sundae.

Vandy’s Pavia campaign has resorted to comparing his and Fernando’s stats. ……since November 1st. It’s a wrap.

I’d call that bad news til we hear otherwise. Lot of AD folks on these boards. Especially that specific one.

I mean their UM and MSU bios have completely different sets of parents and hometowns listed. I had the same question early in the season and looked into it.

Not brothers.

GAs had the OU/Bama scouting reports done and on Cig’s/Haines’/Shanny’s desks before the sun rose this morning. They’ll do deep dives on both teams the next two weeks, be ready for either, THEN get a full 10 days of prep for the winner with a fresh game of tape in what should be a really competitive matchup on the 19th. It would be annoying if we didn’t have over 3 weeks to prep, but it’s not a concern imo.

And 2 of the 5? On 3rd down. The type of defensive performance that needs to have everyone beating the drum for IU to be the favorites. We won’t play a better offense than that the rest of the way.

The Dipo abides. 46% (plus 1/1 on 4th down) vs 33% (0/1 on 4th down). TOP was dead even, total yards dead even, first downs dead even, turnover battle dead even. We won 3rd downs, we won the game.

Rose Bowl ticket requests are open in season ticket holder accounts. Priority deadline is Thursday. Maximum of 4 per holder, I put in my request (a lot cheaper than I paid this morning) and will see what happens.

At least 7 schools (including teams with a 5-7 record) have turned down a Birmingham Bowl bid. Watching bowl season die before our eyes. Was a heck of a run.

On nothing other than vibes and just watching games, I have a gut feeling that Tech is a lot better than people are expecting and beat the piss out of Oregon. Tech’s defensive front is insane.

We beat Oklahoma 10-7 in 1928, never played Bama.

I wonder how poorly the IU ticket office is going to handle our allotment at the Rose Bowl. Good luck to anyone relying on it, but that question is what led me to buying secondary market tickets at 6 this morning.

I was floored when Pat called Lane out yesterday. Completely stepped out of the fantasy land that the other four were living in and went off for a minute.

Appears that “standard picture with plain white text over it” is gonna have to do for now.

That sneak was weird. Even on TV it seemed obvious he got it. Then they said they were reviewing and just went to commercial. I may have missed it, but I don’t think they showed it at all until after the break right when they announced the reversal where it was clear as day he was WAY short.

I’d take out a gigantic injury insurance policy on myself, grab a cool $3-$4 million NIL deal and keep my happy arse in Bloomington if it meant avoiding the Cleveland Browns or the New York Jets. Just kidding. (Kinda) What I want for Fernando (and it’s a pipe dream) is for the Vikings to tank hard enough to secure a top-10 pick, then move heaven and earth to move up to 1 and pair him with KOC. Kirk Cousins and KOC produced some ELITE offensive football. But he’ll probably go to Vegas. Blurf.

I really thought Fernando was dead after the first play. Had the pit in my stomach I had when Tyrese was screaming and punching the floor in game 7. To come back after that shot and make the throws that he made…unbelievable. All the obvious national awards and whatnot, but like…IU Athletics Hall of Fame type stuff. Hit was legal too, imo.
