Old Friend

This was there for Hoover all day.....I think he was flat TOLD not to pull it and keep it. ODU scored twice against us on that play a year ago. Their QB's are good at it! Sheesh.

If anyone is concerned......Indiana's game plan was as vanilla and straight forward as it gets. They need to improve tackling. That is the only concern I have. They don't need to, and likely won't put much on film before Nebraska and maybe not even then. The team will play a completely different brand of football in mid October than we saw Saturday. There is NO reason to show anything before Nebraska. Example : Wilson had the only QB keep on that read option. Hoover had it....15 times. Handed it off every time he had Becker 1 on 1 with no safety help (stepped up in the box) over and over again. He hit it once. I am positive watching the game he was TOLD to hand the ball off and NOT keep it. He was told NOT to take advantage of single outside coverage. That's why the run game suffered and Hoover could have easily had 8 TD's or more had he taken what was there. He didn't need to and sure didn't need to show the entire arsenal. Apart from tackling, I am not worried in the least.

We : 68 They : 7

1) Indiana leads the country in at least 1 category, maybe 2 : total defense, points allowed, yards allowed, turnover differential, or point differential 2) Indiana has 3+ NFL first round draft picks in April. 3) Shazz Preston has 50+ catches for 800+ yards. He is the player no one sees coming and the beneficiary of the attention paid to Becker and Marsh 4) Elijah Hardy leads the Big Ten in tackles 5) Mario Landino leads the Big Ten in sacks.....mostly because, like Kamara, Osunsamni demands constant double teams, as does Tyreke Tucker 6) Indiana will have 2 players in the top 10 in the Heisman conversation. 7) Tyler Cherry shows why he will be the QB in 2027 8) Indiana will once again play in the Rose Bowl and Paul Feinbaum will actually, physically shake while picking against us again.

Indiana 38 NTU 9

Until someone beats us, they won't. 12-0

Never had a chance. His QB is bad and never had any time to throw it

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.

Forgot he was from Louisville

Choice 1 : Best college campus in the midwest and maybe the country save Pepperdine Choice 2 : Commuter school essentially in an industrial section of a tier 2 city next to an airport and a major highway Have fun, Ja'Hyde. Make your money and never look back.

That was awful. No argument. But.... we had kids who were not capable of playing in the Big Ten. We had players from Elon, Davidson, Sam Houston State, etc. We had no size. We had kids who thought they were far better than they were (Conerway) and didn't value the ball or defense. We had kids (also Conerway) who were just happy to be here. Blame the roster on DeVries. I get it. Ryan Carr was hired for a reason. Blame him for underestimating the talent needed in the Big Ten. But also give the guy credit for winning 18 games, 9 in the Big Ten, with a very average mid major roster. DeVries will be a better coach without Tucker on the team. Nobody is going to be patient beyond next season. I get that, too. But anyone calling for his firing now? Who do you think we'd be able to attract after firing 3 coaches in 6 years? Watching that garbage was painful. Truly gross. I get all of it. We can't fire him now, and I hope Scott Dolson is in his office tomorrow and all over him. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and watch Kent Sterling's post game video ion YouTube. His description of how that meeting should go is gold.
