    Shout out to Nicolas Radicic. His kicking is perfect.

    IUFB vs Maryland - Saturday, 09.28.24 @ Noon on BTN

    Sold over 43k for last Saturday, but the weather seemed to keep a large number of butts either completely out of their seats or caused them to pull the famous IU HALFTIME SHUFFLE. Of course, Charlotte and Twerps are not the same, so let’s hope folks hang around for the entire game. I expect a close battle.

    Hey Race…no problem okay. We all have an opinion…right? I hope the kid picks IU, but I’m guessing he doesn’t, which is okay. IU will be fine with or without him. My point was based on the close proximity of ND to La Lulu/LaPorte perhaps the ND folks were able to get in front of him more often to sell their case for ND. I fully admit it’s a stretch. But it’s just another opinion. :)
  6. Yeah, I’m with you there. Hoping home field will be the advantage for us.

    I think it’s ND. They’re practically in La Lulu’s backyard. This young man is already working on his announcement for the next NBA draft, IMO. IU will be fine.

    Hey…we’re oldsters! Getting a commitment to attend a bowl game was hard enough okay! :)))

    2024 IUFB Season

    Yeah, I have to agree on this. My wife will go to a bowl game, but she would prefer someplace with a greater warmth quotient.
  10. I’m guessing that he’s a four year player…which I like very much.

    I’m sure that’s true. :)

    I agree with the above quote. But for IU that means, in my opinion, winning SEASONS and not simply four games against some seemingly weak teams. To change the IU culture or the way people think, you need multiple winning seasons and some bowl games as well. We’re off to a good/great start, but I don’t expect sellout crowds after four games. We all know that we’ve had decades of miserable football and that’s why people leave at half or don’t show up at all. Get some consistent winning and then people will react differently. JMHO.
  13. How bad, you ask? They beat Gardner- Webb 27-26 last Saturday to make their record on the year 1-2 while G-W is 0-3. I would imagine a fair number of backups will get into this game because it should be a blowout.

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    Plus after we beat the crap out of turdue and win a bowl game I imagine that our AD and prez might be open to the idea of giving him a bonus or raise as a sign of their and the university’s appreciation. :))

    Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA

    While I know it doesn’t mean squat, he is 63 and is on record saying this is his last job. Maybe he means it? :) lol

    Did the kid from Minnesota find a new home? Pharrel Payne? He visited IU…right? No interest from him or for him?

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    HSN has a post with a photo showing Carlyle, Woodson, Howard after breakfast at Uptown’s today. Poster who took the photo said Ya was across the street. Poster is a well known Uber guy who watches what’s happening and drives IU players frequently.

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    Yeah, you probably have a point regarding the system in which Karaban plays. Maybe I need to read back farther into the thread regarding the point being discussed. I thought it was more of a basic comparison of the two players. I prefer Karaban and Hurley’s system.

    Transfer Portal w IU Interest

    Reneau and Karaban are as different as night and day athletically and as basketball players. Both may be 6’8” or whatever and be labeled as “big’s” or “4’s”, but that’s where the similarities end. Karaban is pretty damn dynamic and Reneau…not so much.
