Just got done watching it and he may have been pissed in real time but I imagine the staff will enjoy using this one to really, really drive some points home to a couple of guys, hello Aidan and Darren, about just getting straight up outworked and Markus and Jaeden on some really dicey decision making. I thought that was a really good exhibition for these kids to have to find their way through. Haven’t read the thread, though I’m sure the big rocks have been well covered, but 2 things that struck me in real time: 1) Not sure how DDV’s gonna do it but a point’s gonna arrive not far out from now at all when Moody will just force DDV to find him minutes. Best on ball defender they have. Brings a level of energy and intensity that no one else does and is utterly fearless. He may get a little wild and crazy occasionally but you do not want to discourage that kid in any way. 2) WKU is pretty good. Size with depth. Defends like crazy on the perimeter. A couple of kids who can make open looks and a legit go to scorer. Imagine they’ll do a pretty good number on the Sun Belt and they look like 1 of those teams that gets about a 10 seed, knocks off a 7 and then gives some 2 seed all they want.

A bit painful to watch given that the current IUFB punt return game consists of please God just fair catch it and be done with it.

Once they put that kid on the field they won’t be able to take him off.

As inevitable as the tides.

No need to worry about me. I’ll choke my guts out and finish 20th or so like I do every year.

Currently @IUHoosierJoe has a bigger lead over 2nd than 2nd has over 12th. Dude has run off and hid. Wow, it’d be painful to lose a lead that big. Like Falcons/Pats painful. Just sayin’

The best throw of Manning’s life just straight dropped.

Normally that’s how I’d feel, too, but I struggle to root for a 25yo 6th yr QB. Also feels like an Ole Mill loss could possibly be beneficial for IU down the road.

Am I getting this right? The BYU kid ripping the helmet clean off the UCF kid allowed them to benefit from to :10 runoff? Unbelievable

Beat me to it. Is it probability of playing? Say a guy has his arm ripped off but he’s 100% gonna wear a prosthetic and go. Are you then good not to report him?

Oh look, a throw inside the hash

Maybe the dumbest single play of the year. In no universe were they ever snapping it and the 5th year senior jumped.

Can someone explain to me why it looks like UM has safety help over their corners on the outside against both Marsh and Becker and yet IU has run nothing at all in the middle of the field? Am I not understanding what’s happening?

That was an all time carom. 15 yds?

I agree the o-line is issue 1. And it’s such a shame because the RB group is really good. And the thing with Hoover is he’s a good college QB but he’s not special in any way. Roarke was special leader and Mendoza was Mendoza. Hoover just feels like 1 of the guys.

We’ve talked about this before but it bears repeating: SLU is a really good job and Schertz can afford to be very picky with the next gig, though it’s probably fair to assume the next one is very possibly Michigan.

Who knew what we’ve just assumed was obvious to everyone was in fact super insightful?

Don’t know if it was official before but apparently it’s official now that Carr will be the starter.

https://247sports.com/college/basketball/article/10-under-the-radar-breakout-players-2026-27-college-basketball-season-291633532/ This is so weak. I usually like Rothstein ok, but apparently he defines “under the radar breakout players” as “highly rated well-known HS recruits who are just gonna play more this year.” C’mon, any idiot can do that.

Very nice. And there really need to be yellow road hazard signs with a chair pictured, doesn’t there? Don’t you have to do that?

Was only a matter of time for this one. The staff offers ‘28 top 50 SF Cole Kelly. Attends Neuqua Valley HS in Naperville, Il and plays travel ball for Breakaway Basketball on the 3SSB circuit. Took an unofficial to Bloomington a couple of weeks ago.

Purdue up 42-31 at the half against Ft Wayne in Fort Wayne. Purdue is up because their +4 on made 3’s, 2 of which were banked in. If I’m Painter I’m pretty concerned that my guards can’t keep guards of this caliber out of the lane. Fort Wayne is getting wherever they want.

Curious. I would think the intuitive reaction for at least a few of them would be to be pi$$ed off that that they’re now part of an organization with basically no chance to win over the next few years. Kind of makes you wonder if Steve may have, just maybe, cooked up side deals for all those guys to, I don’t know, maybe cover the California tax burden for them?

Pretty good little discussion from the 68 guys. A lot of time spent, accurately, on the importance of Burton’s health. He absolutely looks like the 1 straight up irreplaceable piece for any period of time.
