A reminder: we never start out the season with a particularly good record. That’s why we play these games early. It’s a good challenge. So starting out out 1-3 or so is pretty typical. With that said, I hope we beat the crap out of everyone this weekend.

Will be up by March 1 (before home opener)...

Ranked 17th here: 23rd here: http://iuhoosiers.com/news/2018/1/16/hoosiers-spotted-at-no-23-in-d1baseball-com-preseason-top-25.aspx 20th here: https://www.baseballamerica.com/college/2018-college-baseball-preseason-top-25-capsules-no-20-indiana/?amphtml=1&__twitter_impression=true 24th here: http://www.sportswriters.net/ncbwa/news/2018/poll180206.html

New Coach is a really good coach. She, unfortunately, does not have a lot to work with, and the schedule doesn’t help. Thankfully she has nice facilities to sell.

Although I doubt anyone will miss it (it pretty much sucked), IU wrestling played their last event at University Gym today. They and the volleyball team will move into Wilkinson Hall in the fall.

I hope I haven’t posted this already but they are opening up the Henke Hall of Champions this year to season ticket holders instead of weekly corporate groups. $800 for the season, TVs inside with other games, food, beer/wine (can take it out to red seats)... https://spark.adobe.com/page/QXvjCKC3rUSRC/

Good podcast with our head of recruiting. About 25 minutes... https://twitter.com/iuhoosiers/status/961995531433267206

Our offense didn’t slow down. We were 5th in the country this past season in terms of most plays ran per game and offensive tempo. It was faster than in 2016 with KW.

Found some pics of the old weight room (5,000 sq ft), last used in 2008, vs the current one (25,000 sq ft)... The old weight room is now the cafe/lounge in the academic center, which as a whole, is 4x larger than the old weight room (which served every sport other than basketball)... Dr. Rhea and Coach Ballou will have a large new sports science research center next to the medical clinic, rehab facilities, and career services offices, a floor below the concourse and new dining hall/training table/club area...

I’m intrigued to see Watercutter and TJ Ivy out there. A good combo of young and “old.” Timian is just flat out good. Lucky to have him, especially since he’s a walk-on (although he earned a scholarship last year).

Not sure. I just know of the safety transfer that is considering us.

That’s a pretty freaking incredible accomplishment for this program.

Yes. They’re adding more seating platforms to both the east and west sides, in addition to the areas at field level and in the north end zone. They're doing a bunch of ADA upgrades around the stadium (press box/suites/stadium club, restrooms, concessions). For the restrooms, most, if not all, of the old troughs are being removed.

Random: Hallway under the west stands that is remarkably hard to find a picture of. This hallway (like the concourse...finally) will connect all around (underneath) the entire stadium so that all of the facilities at MS will be easily accessible and connected.

Oh hell yes.
