Class of '66 Old Fart

Just saw this - Indiana defensive linemen Andrew DePaepe and William DePaepe are entering the transfer portal. Andrew is a former four-star recruit and ranked No. 125 nationally in the 2023 class. Indiana DB Amariyun Knighten has entered the transfer portal. He was a four-star transfer last cycle coming out of Northern Illinois.

No idea how hard we're pursuing Thompson. MADE Hoops @madehoops- Davion Thompson (@Davion_t9) was AUTOMATIC from deep at the Jordan Holiday Classic! The ‘27 guard shot a blistering 80% (8/10) from 3 over two games for @LinkHoops. Jordan Classic Averages: 16.5 PPG | 6.0 RPG | 5.5 APG 67% FG | 80% 3PT. Junior playmaker is heating up with offers from Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan & more.

Absolutely too funny not to post.

Speaking for the other dozen or so btb posters that accepted your gracious invitation, we truly appreciate your generosity and hospitality. We had a blast and we're sorry we accidentally broke a couple of your lamps.

From what I read on 247, we have a number of targets arriving today/tonight and a full weekend schedule for our staff on top of starting to prep for Oregon.

We definitely seemed to be bothered by the noise level at times at Oregon. That certainly won't be the case in Atlanta. With luck, Oregon will be the team bothered by the noise level.

About that. You sure you filed any in the last 5-years?

So much for your New Year's resolution to be a kinder gentler poster.

Sunday evening doubleheader. Women face Maryland (14-1) (2-1) followed by IUBB hosting Washington at 8:00 also televised on BTN. Hate to admit it, but I have zero optimism for this game. MD averages 88 ppg on 49% FG and 34% on 3s. They hold opponents to 34% and 29% respectively. Their scoring margin is +33. They average 45 rpg with a +16 margin and will likely have little difficulty in maintaining that margin against us. Yarden Garzon is averaging 13.1 ppg and 4.4 rpg for the Terps. And not that MD needs any additional incentive, but they suffered their first loss of the season at Illinois yesterday 73-70. Thankfully we have IU football. Radio

Seeds of doubt were planted on the 4th down stop and cemented when we stopped them on their first 3rd Q possession and we scored on our first possession. https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/sports/college/iu/2026/01/02/indiana-football-defense-fourth-down-stop-rose-bowl-alabama-cfp/87925898007/

ESPN INSIGHTS - Alabama blitzed Fernando Mendoza a season-high 12 times. He was 8-8 for 161 yards and 3 TD against 5 or more pass rushers, the first QB with 3 pass TD vs the Alabama blitz since Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel in 2013 And from Raby we set 3 new Rose Bowl records: Fernando highest passer rating Fernando highest completion percentage Longest scoring drive in minutes. Previous record set in 2010.

Piece of obscure trivia that I saw posted elsewhere. First football game in history where the nickname of the 2 teams were the titles of Gene Hackman movies.

From the Big Ten Network: Hoosiers allow the fewest points by any team in a @rosebowlgame since Washington shut out Iowa in 1982.

15 - 0 24 17

Won't matter. We'll own that place with fans.

Adewale Ogunleye @aotheprince93 Someone check on @BaldTrollDumb@$$!!!

Get ready to cue it up @LamarCheeks

14-0

"Alabama's largest loss since 2000 came against Clemson in the 2018 national title game. The Crimson Tide lost that game by 28 points."

Plenty of time for Alberto to direct a touchdown drive.

Stuffed them twice on 4th down plays. :-D

I rest my case!

l think this will be Fernando's last series.
