Brookins is good. He's paid his dues and did well in the bowl game against a good Utah defense. I'm fine with him out there. It'll be by committee anyway. Just because he's a walk on doesn't mean he's not a good player. Now obviously if you're constantly relying on walk ons, you're probably going to have some problems. But that's not the case, and he is a solid player.

Cool video feature from our training room: anti-gravity treadmill... http://www.hoosiersportsreport.com/video/?video=fe5b62eb8d844c65687be8872b5194646ae03dd5 All this stuff will be moved over to the SEZ next summer, which will allow the current space (and old Hoosier Room) to be turned into additional space for the new football locker room/player's lounge.

For a reference point, Louisville's main scoreboard that they had up until this offseason was the exact size of what we just put up in the north end zone:The south video board (2018) will be essentially the same size as the previous SEZ board, except about 5 feet taller.

Maryland has recruited well for a while now. They have yet to show anything on the field.

He definitely is. He spouted off like that in Tampa constantly, and then got fired.

It's possible. I know I've discussed it on a couple message boards. The board is currently in storage. I asked an assistant A.D. on Twitter a few months ago what they had planned for it, and they said they were putting it in storage until they can figure out what to do with it. They should be able to take that board and split it up, so like baseball and softball could get one.

27 days.

Yep. But I was more upset at the Michigan game. For the second year in a row, we were beating them up pretty good physically, and had the lead late into the third quarter. Ugh.

I actually tweeted at the athletic department Twitter account the other day about a pep rally and they responded with "details to come ;-)". So that seems good?

Yes you qualify for young alumni season tix. It's actually only $60.

Gotcha. Yeah you should be good.

Forgive me for the potentially stupid question, but are you a student? If so, you should be able to buy a single game ticket. If not, they will check for an ID.

And this was tweeted yesterday:

Scoreboard is up:

I don't think anyone saw Tevin Coleman's 2000 yard season coming. Everyone knew how talented he was, but he had only played in spurts before that and a lot of times ran right into his own linemen.

Well, we did just have a three year stretch where Tevin ran for 2000, Howard and Redding ran for a combined 2000+, and Redding ran for a another 1000 last year.

Kirk Herbstreit calling the IU/OSU game: Herbstreit will have a particularly busy start to the season, working three game broadcasts over five days -- Ohio State-Indiana (Aug. 31 in Bloomington, Ind.), Alabama-Florida State and finally Georgia Tech-Tennessee (Sept. 4 in Mercedes-Benz Stadium) -- in addition to his College GameDay role. It’ll be his first such stretch.http://www.ajc.com/sports/espn-college-gameday-coming-atlanta/0ZSWidIEPyUJADwW9vMw9M/He will be paired with play by play man Dave Flemming. They are rotating analysts for the Thursday night game this year.
