Can’t imagine that this isn’t a widely held view among the staff this morning.

Ah, yes, no better sign that the joys of college basketball are upon us than waking up in the morning, opening this up, seeing a @Uspshoosier post and thinking, “Wait, what the hell time did he post that?”

Bob Netolicky is 84 years old. The years are being unbelievably kind.

Good for that kid. How cool would it have been at something like 22 to be calling an IUBB game?

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50055526/fsu-norvell-candidates-roster ESPN’s early thoughts on FSU. Isn’t Rhett Lashlee just automatically their 1st call? Given what he’s done at SMU combined with recruiting and coaching experience in Florida I don’t know why you start with anyone else, though maybe SMU is too good a gig to leave for that mess. Side note: as a Missouri resident I’m telling you Eli Drinkwitz has the best agent ever. Dude gets his name attached to every single job that comes open anywhere and leverages it into more money or more years or more support. Every job, no exceptions. It is really a sight to see.

Does the old heart good.

Kevin Willard losing the 1st game of the year is a solid result to start the season.

Seriously, watched that and it was like Rory McIlroy standing in the fairway with Cig playing the caddie and him saying, “what, 285 over the water and 296 to the pin,” and Cig saying, “Smooth 3 wood, I like it.” How could it have been that easy for him?

1st time I’ve seen this angle. Jesus, that’s good from, what, 68, something like that? And the Minny kid’s was the same. They made those look like they just weren’t that big a deal. Insane.

If they roll with Wilson I can only assume that whatever’s wrong with Hoover’s arm is more than can improve with 2 weeks off and that decision pretty much makes itself. But I just don’t think you’re beating USC or winning a B1G Championship game or a playoff game with him, whereas if Hoover is, say, 95% maybe you do.

You can’t hang with this. You just can’t.

This is an objectively terrible game

Can someone explain why you burn a TO on 3rd and 22?

Wow, between the uniforms both schools are wearing, the attire of the Baylor interim HC and the condition of the field the Baylor-UCF game looks like a game between 2 not terribly affluent high schools.

Not a believer in Hoosier on Hoosier violence, but this is the no doubt dumbest take I’ve seen in a good minute. It’s Isiah freaking Thomas.

Glad to hear it. Hopefully that means Alexis gets through the year. The 1 thing the exhibition games made clear is how important he is to what DDV wants to be doing.

Baker may not have been put in charge of the NCAA with the goal of destroying it from the inside, but if he was what exactly would he be doing differently?

Great. I’m sure there’s an ad coming of DDV seeing Yiggy at the line in a tied game and popping a Cymbalta.

The NCAA now losing in court to track athletes in Idaho. The rout is officially on. btw: how many lawyers does the NCAA have involved with this? Is this the same 5 or 10 folks racking up an all-time record for frequent flyer miles or are they spending ungodly jack on an army of lawyers?

Generally don’t like watching basketball in stadiums at all, but this might be fun.

Ernie Johnson is 1 of the greats. Talk about 1 of those jobs where you don’t want to be the next guy? This is one of those. Then you factor in that he is one of the best guys ever and I will straight up miss the dude.
