Yea, A ticker-tape parade is probably in the works. LOL

Have faith. I don’t think we will make the tourney and he will be gone. He got his 4 years and, although some might not believe it, I think the administration realizes the importance of the basketball program and Buckner won’t have the juice to keep him any longer.

I’m kind of curious what you guys want to see happen when he is pushed out. ”Doesn’t deserve dignity” means what? Led down College Avenue while getting stoned? Put in a stockade and verbally abused?

Who knows but I’ll be very surprised if Cherry is here 2 years from now and, barring an injury to a portal QB, I doubt he ever starts at IU.

I think he could possibly portal a QB nearly every year. Rest of the team no, but he has used experienced transfer QB’s in the past and I think that’s his comfort level.

Yes to hard conversations. Would also expect a little bit of roster flipping after spring ball as some guys will realize they are buried on the bench and the coaches will have positions in mind that need to be upgraded. Really wish there was a talented P4 OL, or 2, we could land. Is there?

Cig seems really focused on QB’s with experience and proven production. I doubt we will rinse and repeat with young QB’s unless one of them turns out to be extraordinary.

Can’t wait as this is the game the entire sporting world is looking forward to. Lots of buzz. IU - sleepwalks to 81 points Winthrop - 69

Off to a great start! Looking forward to a couple of OL and a couple of DL commits. Trenches, trenches, threnches.

The only favored home team that didn’t blow out their opponent was Texas of the SEC. TN of SEC got blown out but, but, but….IU shouldn’t have been in. I hope ND smokes Georgia.

It’s too bad OSU plays Oregon next. Would prefer one of them to take out Texas next.

So when do the announcers start the “should Tennessee have been in the playoffs” discussion? The double standard is staggering

Not surprised, at all. Never seemed to be Cigs guy and knows Cig is looking for a producer in the portal. Also, not saying it’s right or wrong but wonder what a guy like. Cherry is thinking. Cig seems to want to have a proven producer at QB but how does an incoming freshman ever become that producer if portal QB’s are brought in each year?

It was but figured it would go the way as called on the field. As mentioned it was also very clear PI but that can’t be reviewed. In these games I can’t believe how much grabbing, early hits, etc are being allowed this year.

One side of the stadium is completely OSU and the other is majority, but admittedly a lot of orange, OSU. No way there are 40k TN fans there. 10,15,20 (impressive ) but not 40k.

I’m thinking the SEC should have had one team in the playoff.

Actually kind of astonishing they have that many fans there. Because of the road team demand you would think the Stubhub prices would have been high but they were cheap which means a TON of OSU fans were selling. Surprising.

I’m overtly hoping OSU, who I never cheer for, beats TN. Can’t let the SEC BS ramp up even more. Go OSU.

No

Technically blown out. No. Were we really ever in the game after 5 minutes? No.

The announcers and pundits keep blabbering about games that aren’t close but….HELLO, there were plenty of blowouts when it was just a 4 team playoff. They keep acting as if such a thing has never happened and that blowouts are proof of a non-existent problem.

Yes i was being sarcastic because he was a portal guy which apparently means a “mercenary” LOL

Tayven or a “mercenary hire” LOL Remind me again how we got Tayven ?

Could be but NW lost by 1 at Iowa and beat Illinois at home. They are pretty good. I don’t have much faith we will get that one on the road.

I’ll be very surprised if he is around after this season but…we will see.
