AZ Hoosier

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.

"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.

You also have to ask about the impact of a #1 rated football team on overall NIL. Before Cignetti, football was, more or less, an after thought beyond what was necessary for the basketball team.

To assume for a moment that the report of his injury was true, how the heck to you suffer a season-ending knee injury celebrating a B1G conference championship game win? What kind of "celebrating" are they doing to get injured that badly?

OR... The conferences already play a season of games. They have a championship game. Take the conference champions and pair them up for the natty. Simply put, if you can't/don't win your conference, you can't be the national champion. And the arrogant Notre Dame would have to join a conference for a chance to be eligible. All of the non-champions can fight over right to play in the Taco Bell Diarrhea Bowl and all of the other 2nd and 3rd tier bowls.

FWIW, Vandy coach Clark Lea called Pavia "the best player in the country". Not by a long shot, coach. Not even close. Wish all you want, but it just ain't so. https://www.essentiallysports.com/ncaa-college-football-news-clark-lea-doubles-down-on-diego-pavias-four-word-message-to-america-as-heisman-race-sees-major-change/

Apparently moreso than for winning football games. But they did Love Every One. :D

Not at all. It's kind of funny to see ND all butt-hurt. But it's also somewhat disingenuous on their part - that the players chose not to play, when in fact, they may have been paid to choose not to play.

Well, then, is he really a friend?

Seems like ND's relationship with everyone is strained. Dakich was on Fox News this morning suggesting that the ND athletic department agreed to pay coaching/player "bowl bonuses" to all in exchange for a NO vote on the question whether to play in a non-playoff bowl. Can't prove that either way, and it is Dakich's take, but knowing ND, seems incredibly believable.

Don't forget that it took FOUR OVERTIME PERIODS for IU to "dominate".

MBB kind of screwed the pooch and blemished The Lamp's record. But we're a football school now, anyway - and it's still undefeated there!

Doesn’t matter who decided… they’re all wussies with a capital P.
