It seems like Bryant was at IU 15 years ago but he is still only 28 years old. At the end of this year he will have earned $37,443,000 in the NBA. Not shabby for a 28 year old.

If it would have been 4 teams last year the national champion Buckeyes would not have even made the playoff. I’m good with the 12 best teams but there is zero doubt the field will soon be expanded because……..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Dropped punt that got blocked Wide open TD pass dropped Pick 6 Kicker missed 2 FG’s OK gave the game away more than Bama won it.

I have over 6,000 posts but after my last post was notified I have been moved from Rookie to Apprentice status…LOL

Let go…. I want to see BaldTrollDumb@$$ cry.

Reminded me of the IU called miss vs Duke at the Pinstripe Bowl. I’m still not sure we really missed that kick.

So how do we feel about our OL vs the Bama DL?

Hopefully he was given a long term deal. Do they also need an OL coach? I hear Hiller might be available.

Yep. They can’t run but ran on first and second, on their last possession, leading to 3rd and 11. Ugh

As mentioned by others…LOL Big Ten refs. Many of the replays show obvious, blatant holding but nothing gets called. Kudos to Bama for having a 10 point lead. At the end of the first quarter I thought they would lose 45-3.

I understand Hoover not wanting to get hurt but still don’t like that he has stated he will enter the portal on Jan 2 but will not play their late December Bowl game against USC. The portal, not the playoffs, is the primary reason the bowl games are completely meaningless. As an example Team X beats Team Y but who cares because Team X’s 5 best players sat out. Prior to the portal, and expanded playoffs, only the participant school’s fans really cared who won the Music City Bowl, as an example, but at least the fans knew their “real/complete team” beat the other “real/complete team”. The non-playoff bowls are pretty much a joke now.

The NCAA’s Administrative Committee has recommended a new 15-day window, from Jan. 2-16, during which college footballplayers can enter the transfer portal, the organization announced on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Also….. If a player is on a team playing in the championship (ie after the 16th) that player is given a 5 day window after the game to declare for the portal.

Although Alberto hasn’t played a lot the staff sees him every day and I’m sure they already know whether or not they are comfortable handing him the keys next year. If they think he is the guy…GREAT. Otherwise Cig will undoubtedly bring in a sought after QB as competition (which is what I think will happen). I agree with you that Alberto will probably have a WTF moment but the last thing the staff should do is worry about making a move because of what his brother has done for us. It’s impossible to overstate what Fernando has meant to the program but when it comes to next seasons QB the staff should proceed as if Alberto’s last name is Jones. It would be really cool if he has the talent to be “the man” but the process shouldn’t be tilted because of who his brother is.

Good for you. Right now, on VividSeats the cheapest ticket is in the end zone, row 77 which is the very top row, (it goes row N-A and then 77 rows so row 77 is actually almost 100 rows high) for $309

Do you mind sharing what you paid for the end zone seats, and which row they are in? I’m curious about the face value cost vs what I am seeing on StubHub and Vivid. And for what it is worth….I have used VividSeating for the last few events I have attended as they have consistently had better pricing than StubHub

Call me crazy but I predict Pavia will sue the NCAA, to get his 11th college season, enter the portal and become IU’s next starting QB.

Yep, “College” basketball is now a promotion over some of the Euro-leagues…. Or maybe Illinois has an academic major of particular interest to Mr. Bilic. :)

Bothered by a “condescending” comment and then proceed to make 10 of them. That’s on brand..LOL, LOL

IU - 85 May put me to sleep - 63

IU - 97 Chicago state - 63

I think many of you are being way too dismissive of Pavia. I thought he was GREAT in season three of Narcos.

Crazy inflated? I’m not disputing that, as I have no idea what Tucker is making, but do you know? If so, let us know.

Yes, but even those limitations don’t explain shot selection, unforced turnovers etc. Just a really, really ugly second half.

A coaches son, that is in his 5th or 6th year, should know better than throw up some of the crap he did tonight. Game is still tight, on the road, and you shoot a 35 footer, a turn around from the free throw line…WTF. Just awful.

21 seconds to go and we have scored 19 points in the second half…..19 !!
