Well, there are gas stations and then there are gas stations... I eat breakfast from the QuikTrip kitchen several times per month, and the place is clean, the food is good and quality is consistent. Then there's Billy Bob's Good Ol' Boys Diesel Stop. YMMV Let's go Hoosiers... beat Kentucky.

Agreed. I find Barkley quite funny, OTOH, I cannot stand Vitale - his voice is annoying, and he's all hype. What's the over/under on Vitale calling for IU to name the floor/arena/campus after RMK?

Were those people behind Heismendoza and Sayin (walking with Pavia) Pavia's parents? :D :D

More info on the Moore incident... it's a really sad story... https://www.foxnews.com/sports/fired-michigan-coach-sherrone-moore-accused-stalking-victim-for-months-police-dispatch-audio Audio of a 911 dispatch call obtained by Fox News Digital details allegations of an alleged "domestic" assault in which police said the victim claimed "there's a male at the location and the house attacking her" and noted that the suspect had been "stalking her for months." The audio goes on to say that the suspect, "did put a knife to his throat and ran out." According to TMZ Sports, additional audio from dispatch included the suspect's wife saying he is suicidal due to "losing his job today." Moore’s name was not mentioned in the audio, but TMZ Sports reported that the call came from a Michigan football employee's address in Ann Arbor at the time Moore was arrested on Wednesday.

Cignetti was making $677,311 during his final season at James Madison. He’s already nearly tripled that figure just from bonuses tied to the 2025 season. That follows a 2024 season during which he more than doubled his JMU salary with bonuses earned at IU. In total Cignetti has earned bonuses of $1.9 million during this 13-0 Big Ten Championship season. Here’s detail on what Cignetti has already earned this year, with the potential to make more during the College Football Playoff: $150,000 for six Big Ten wins. $1 million for a Big Ten championship. $600,000 for reaching the College Football Playoff quarterfinals. He can still earn $700,000 for reaching the semifinals, $1 million for reaching the national title game, and $2 million for winning a national championship. $50,000 for winning Big Ten Coach of the Year, whether through the coaches vote or the media vote. $100,000 for winning any of the major National Coach of the Year honors (AP, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award, Sporting News, Walter Camp, Maxwell Football Club, or ABC/ESPN). https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-footballs-curt-cignetti-has-almost-tripled-his-james-madison-salary-just-in-bonuses/

She got pregnant. Clearly she lacked attention to detail.

But we can still think it in our heads. :D

As much as I love to hate on Michigan, this is a truly horrible situation. I almost feel bad for them. And Moore needs some serious prayer and some serious help.

IU 76 Mouth-breathers 74 (I'd rather throw this pick away rather than ever choose those inbred mouth-breathing hillbillies)

Wow... a 704 point margin of victory has to be some kind of record, right? :D

3. They lead rebounds 4-0.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47261132/big-12-brett-yormark-calls-notre-dame-pete-bevacqua This quote doesn't sound like the Big XII is that interested in taking Notre Dame into the fold: "I think Pete's, his behavior has been egregious," Yormark said. "It's been egregious going after Jim Phillips, when they saved Notre Dame during COVID. ... The chair said that as Notre Dame and Miami got closer together, head to head would be a factor, OK?"

From Google Gemini, so take it for what it's worth: Q: Can you injure the patellar tendon by jumping? Gemini's response: Yes, **jumping is a common cause of injury to the patellar tendon**, a condition so closely linked to the activity that it is often called **"Jumper's Knee"** or patellar tendinopathy/tendinitis. ### How Jumping Can Cause Injury * **Overuse and Repetitive Stress:** The most common cause is the repeated stress placed on the patellar tendon during athletic activities that involve frequent jumping, landing, and quick changes in direction (like basketball, volleyball, or track and field). * **Micro-tears:** This repetitive stress causes tiny tears (microtrauma) in the tendon. If the tendon doesn't get enough time to rest and repair between activities, the damage builds up, leading to a weakened and painful tendon. * **Patellar Tendinopathy:** This is the medical term for the resulting condition. It involves degeneration of the tendon tissue and sometimes inflammation, causing pain just below the kneecap. * **Tears/Rupture:** In more severe, though less common, cases, especially if the injury is ignored or aggravated, the tendon can partially or completely tear (rupture), which is a much more disabling injury. ### Symptoms of Jumper's Knee The main symptom is pain and tenderness just below the kneecap. This pain usually: * **Starts gradually** over time. * **Worsens** during activities like jumping, running, squatting, or climbing stairs. * May feel like a **dull ache** that can progress to **sharp pain** with activity. If you suspect you have Jumper's Knee or any other persistent knee pain, it is important to **consult a healthcare provider** for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Right conference. Wrong "F" word.

At least it's not Kaepernik. yet

Losers. They going all-in independent? I'd love to see them in the B1G so they can get routinely pounded by Indiana, Michigan, OSU, Oregon. That will never happen, but where ever they go, they're gonna have to start playing a real schedule if they want any true credibility.

You have to be eligible to be able to decline the invitation... 2-9 ain't getting them anywhere close... so you losers go hang out together and lick each other's wounds.

That was my first thought, but even so... these are relatively bright guys, right?

Maybe the ACC will undermine his candidacy.
