Gang, the #1 IU alum is Herman B. Wells. I had the privilege of knowing him and got to introduce him a few times at various events, so I had to know his CV fairly well. The rest of the list can be debated and all names are valid. But....the list of that man's accomplishments pales in comparison to no human being I am aware of. If anyone wants to research him, I'd simply tell you his story is so incredible and the lives he changed (say nothing of his impact on the university we all love) will bring tears to your eyes. You'll enjoy the journey. For me, Herman B. Wells is the undisputed and unchallenged #1 alumnus of Indiana University.

2 things are true. 1) That quote was on Cignetti's wall less than 10 minutes after it was said and will be there until November 28...likely referenced many times. 2) I don't think the line for the Bucket game this year can be put high enough. If it were IU - 77.5 I think I'd take it; and anything less than Indiana -50 is stealing. Those kids up there are going to pay for his idiocy and I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

Part of what has always made Ferrari sexy is the sound. Some manufacturers didn't need an EV. Ferrari didn't need an EV.

It's not, or so I have heard....Rumors are it's about 70% to scale. Churchill Downs and the Rose Bowl are bigger than that, but the place is massive and the picture is terrific. I went to my 4..... I won't date myself THAT much but I haven't missed a race since the year Tom Sneva won. The middle of the race is still a drag sometimes and was yesterday..until the red flag. I was happy to see them racing at 219-220 rather than 213 like last year. That was a race....and an incredible show. The second flyover was one of the most awesome things I've ever seen. F-16's flying east to west right at the crowd in the main front straightaway grandstand with after burners on. As my college aged kids said, it was "sick."

I don't disagree at all, and my mind just doesn't work like that. If Kansas is guaranteeing playing time to an 18 year old kid in that conference, they won't win 4 games. Impatience almost always has consequences.

Today's decision brought to you by the letters "WTF." Kansas??? Why?

Yeah. Wow. Details coming soon, so I heard..... Really sad news.

I'd bet anything I own Ryan Day doesn't expect the detail and accountability Cignetti does.

More money for lower expectations, I'd bet.

Ryan Carr was hired for a reason and he's good. I think you can do more than hope in this case. He looks to be a "piece" at least, and looks at least as good as Bailey was and stronger.

I like that contact around the rim doesn't seem to completely blow him up. For a kid who won't be counted on to play a ton yet, first glance is positive for sure.

I thought when he was good....he was terrific. When he was not his best, he was the weak link. Hopefully learns to limit penalties and becomes a solid NFL player. He certainly has the body and skills.

49ers get it. West, Rourke, Black, Kamara....who will be a steal. You're really telling me Chris Ballard is truly that stupid not to understand what is quite literally in his NFL backyard???

This is the kid I want most in this class. Having seen him live a couple of times, he's going to be a ***** at the college level.

Solid depth piece. I like it...getting players NOT from Drexel is a good idea.
