Dave from Dayton

Just saw that myself. Now I'm seeking a report from MSG on whether he is starting and whether he is moving well.

Xavier Johnson travelled with the team to NYC. He participated in a light practice on Saturday. No announcement yet on his gametime appearance. Is Coach Woodson going to limit the platoon-type substitution pattern? Is X going to start and play well? Can Ware stop UConn's backup center from last year? Will anyone on either team hit a decent number of threes? Can UConn make up for missing their starting PG? Why did UConn run up the scores against bad teams this year? Why didn't IU run up the scores against not quite so bad teams as played UConn this year? Is Coach Woodson sandbagging UConn? I don't think so. But he isn't showing what he has up his sleeves. I hope. It is going to be telling. And I think it will be closer than most seem to think. I am seriously thinking of changing my prediction to an IU win. If Xavier is moving well in warmups and Woody says he is starting...why the heck not go for it? GO IU!!!

UConn is undefeated this season. But all 3 of their opponents have been no competition. Much worse than IU's competition. It is anyone's game.

Which likely means that Dolson already has a vetted head coach candidate. Outside of our view, there would have been inquiries made, consultants that do the behind the scenes communications and background and networking. The final decision, of course, would be Dolson's. After next week's possible announcement of the negotiation of a separation contract...a recommendation committee will be put into place. The short-list of candidates will then be made. Not many actually will be made public to protect those coaches' present positions. Dolson's most-likely favorite will be on the list. And voila, IU enters a new era. The new coach comes in and is introduced. He will say things that the AD wants him to say. New culture. Discipline. NIL. It's not your parents' football program. I've got new ideas. Upgrade offense, defense, coaches. POTFB. Tom Allen may make about $4.5 million and is apparently the 38th highest salary for an NCAA football coach. UW football coach Kalen DeBoer is the 44th highest-paid coach in NCAA college football, with a total annual pay of $4.2 million. Just giving these for reference. And I did not check those salaries closely.

Trying to draw offsides...

Pathetic... Shocked, shocked.

Nice! Short counter play...pass.

When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go...

Ooooo...so close. Coulda...woulda...well, you know.

That's a boatload of MSU players down today. Don't like seeing anyone hurt.

That one play will turn the whole season around! Wait... What?

Well, we have practiced being at our own 1 yard line. Punt it 66 yards.

A stop!

I'm thinking of taking a hike. Or a bike ride. It's a long, long way to the outhouse.

Nice punt. Rinse. Repeat.

I rest my case.

Tom things...

I was thinking about him changing his depends. But, I didn't want to go there.

And a TD...it's alive!

Nice knockers! What hump? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, help me with the bags. Igor: [Imitating Groucho Marx] Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the toiben. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I was talking about the luggage.

Lee Corso.

IU stops MSU...golly, gee.

Golf clap?

Touchdown. Both fans were in the bathroom.
