I sent the (very good) discussion on the roster to the 25-26 roster thread since it went away from Luke and into now more relevant waters.

Did some surface research on making the trip (not going to pull the trigger) and those $160 seats are probably not going to be very good either. Visitor section is in a corner and if I had to guess will be stuck pretty high. I typically find it more fun to sit with the home fans anyway.

Gotta say, I'm kinda out on the bison thing. Will re-assess when I see it in action and what all they do with it. No questions at this time.

It very well could be the oversized cut-off tshirt under the jersey skewing things a bit, but from seeing him play up close that guy is WIDE. Just a huge frame.

There are far worse weekends to come to Bloomington than when the leaves are changing and the town is buzzing for a homecoming football game.

This is the one. Getting home that evening and hearing that call watching back the highlights was a religious experience.

9-4 against the spread (oddly enough one of our ATS losses was FIU) and led the country in both ATS +/- and margin of victory over the spread. There was good moolah to be made on IUFB last year.

That sounds right. I think we got cut off at some point. Then they were uploaded to Youtube later on maybe? But the rules around exhibitions have changed so much in the last few years that I'm hoping we get something semi-official.

I remember having to watch the Bahamas games from someone's (might have been The Dorks?) Facebook live lol.

If CFB 26 is any indication, Mikail Kamara is going to win the Heisman and the runner-up is going to be Roman Hemby. Stephen Daley will also be going to New York.

9-3. You'd have to steal one of the Iowa/Oregon/PSU road games to put us back in the CFP convo, but those are all brutal in their own ways. The absolute floor is 7 (and you can talk me into 8) and I'll set the ceiling at 10.

I may be wrong, but doesn’t our foreign trip change the rules for what we can do for exhibitions?

But cheap!

But I'm cheap.

It's summer so I put my pouch of cheap coffee in a pitcher overnight in the fridge and have about 6 days worth of coffee ready to pour over ice 12 hours later. Suck it Stu!

I think they're going to let Benn off the leash next year and see how the chips fall. Best case, you've got a bona fide scorer ready to make the leap when Tyrese is working his way back in 26-27 and then it's all systems go in 27-28. Worst case, no Tyrese + Benn chucking craters the offense and you land a lottery pick in a pretty friggin' good draft. Only issue with this is I think Nembhard and Pascal are too good to find the true bottom unless they pick up an injury along the way that the front office decides is going to be a season-ender. I also wonder if, for this scenario's purpose, they don't try to replace Myles and instead just plug that hole with nothing spectacular.

This is evil.

Only if they want to see me self-harm. The only bright side of that hypo would be that if anyone could get Ayton to play to his potential it'd be Rick.

Looooove Myles, but no shot we should've done ~27/year. Probably not even if Tyrese was healthy next season. I can't imagine the meltdown next year after paying him 20+ then watching him flounder about on offense without Tyrese setting up all of his looks that got him that deal.

Former IU player personnel director Dwike Wilson is ODU's CB coach now also.

They showed up and played halftime of the Double Doink Bears/Eagles playoff game and absolutely ripped. A group of guys sitting next to us that would’ve been in the age group to be big Local H-in-their-heyday Chicago guys thought it was simultaneously random as hell and awesome.

If you fill your roster with Georgia kids, you’re gonna be a in a pretty good spot in all likelihood.

Wiseman.

Single elim, so lucky for us we’ll only get blasted by one of them.
