God, the online crap from ND fans now. IU would have done the same thing to them. Now they get to watch Bama take a beating and whine about their exclusion. Best case scenario for them.

About freaking time someone interviews Ponds. That kid’s such a bada$$.

Fernando doing Fernando things postgame. I get why people who don’t experience it every week think he’s phony, except for the part about how he’s completely freaking genuine.

I want one more. I like the sound of 38-3, but 45-3? *******

No, Kirk, I promise you the Mendoza’s are not stressed out while Alberto is playing.

Bryant Haines That is all.

Feinstein:

Don’t know if IU gets in here but with Cig’s obsession with productivity, Jesus, it doesn’t get much more productive than that.

Beat me to it. The anti-Mendoza. The look on Cook’s face when he thinks about the question for a second and just says, “Diggs” would be horrifying if it wasn’t so funny.

Haven’t watched a bunch of bowl games this year but USC was the 1st team I’ve seen that pretty obviously didn’t want to be there.

Yes, yes it would. Not well versed in the Mormon faith but I assume the “Slim Jesus” nickname would need to be shelved for a year.

https://basketballsphere.com/en/from-partizan-to-the-ncaa-six-colleges-line-up-for-miikka-muurinen/ Interesting. Muurinen is quoted here saying he will definitely play in college next year. Somebody is gonna write a serious check. I’m gonna guess BYU for 2 reasons: 1) Dybantsa will be off their book and clearly Mormon money is insane. 2) Kevin Young has a deserved reputation as both both a development guy and a high end system coach. But no one will have more shots to offer and the IU system would be appealing. Guess we’ll see.

The GOAT right here. Can you imagine Keith Jackson calling an IU NC game? Don’t get me wrong, if IU’s playing for a Natty I don’t care if it’s being called by Phil Jackson, just sayin’.

Oh look, the President of the NCAA has popped his head out of his hole to emphatically assert……basically nothing at all. What an inspiring leader.

My nominee for the worst fanbase in CFB. I give you Auburn. You’ve really got to read the replies here. Awesome. They introduced Golesh 3 weeks ago.

Gonna go out on the world’s shortest limb and guess IU’s not involved here. This is literally the anti-Cig kid.

I don’t think there’s much terribly insightful here. But Hurley has a huge megaphone and the guys like him and Cal and Pitino who do need to be talking about this mess nonstop.

A friend asked me the other day about Muurinen and I told him that I assumed that ship had sailed and he’d play in Europe next year. Guess that was a bit quick. Ridiculously talented and no doubt super expensive, but, hey, you’re gonna have a bunch of open minutes available.

What time is actual kickoff?

I kind of think he’s right.

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/indiana-hoosiers-football-cornerback-dangelo-ponds-never-stops-competing-268334322/ Very nice article on Ponds. Love that kid so much. Sort of feeling he’s gonna get one against Simpson.

I didn’t realize it was still a concern but apparently Cooper is officially a full go, per pretty much everyone all at once.

Couldn’t think of anywhere to put this, but here’s the NCAA just continuing to create more exceptions every day. I assume minor league baseball players will be treated the same. Serious question: has NCAA leadership made the conscious decision that they are so irrelevant in the new world order that they want to be bypassed and ultimately dissolved and replaced by some other governing entity? Certainly feels that way.

Would think so. But, you just know his girlfriend is some girl he’s known since 2nd grade who he helped up after she got knocked down at recess. Now she teaches at some really tough school in Miami and they write one another letters every week. Not e-mails, letters.
