Seems IU could still use a Safety or 2 (not sure if Gandy qualifies), LB or 2, a DE and maybe a RB for depth? Probably can always make room for a good OL too.

Me too, no love for ND, but am loving the SEC meltdown. SEC= Sucks every......

That is the logical expectation, but in the clown world we live in now, starters on good teams transfer all the time.

Only thing it's missing is a quip about the SEC getting screwed out of 2-3 more playoff slots.

Well said. You never forget your first!

I'm so confused. He committed, hedged, now is back in? Was there confusion, cold feet, some kind of negotiating tactic?

Are the Cubs better with Tucker, and (checks name) Cody Poteet, then they were a week ago with Bellinger, Paredes, Wisneski and their #1 draft pick? I would say "no." Off to start a "Fire Jed Hoyer" thread....

If that is even half true, it's pure lunacy. This feels like the hysteria in the stock market right before the bubble bursts and there is an epic crash. I don't blame kids for taking what they can get, I would too, but this isn't sustainable or positive for "College" atheletics in any way.

Sheesh, I forgot what a monster year that was! 7.5yds avg per carry on 270 attempts is crazy.

IUBB is well and truly irrelevant. It's like Madonna or some other grizzled old celebrity that makes desperate pleas for attention it no longer deserves. It is sad & pitiful. Woodson is an incompetent buffoon. There are some talented players, but they appear dumb and possibly lazy. Ironic they have been owned by Nebraska, a fanbase that would gladly trade any/all success in every other sport to matter in football again. While IUFB basks in the spotlight and the basketball program is a shameful embarrassment. I haven't watched a game since the Louisville debacle and am better for it. This is where I am:

Holy Conflict of interest Batman!

I don't disagree with the idea, just the execution. Maybe Tucker hits 48hrs and is MVP, but appears they gave up some solid pieces for a marginal improvement. They didn't improve Catcher much and still need 3B and pen depth. Hopefully they can rape the Yankees in a Bellinger trade....but I have my doubts.

Wow, those are high expectations! I like the confidence. I'm more inclined to expect a step back to 8-4/9-3, but that will still be amazing. This is IUFB we're talking about!

So the Cubs got Tucker (1 yr left) to replace Bellinger (1 yr left) and gave up Paredes & Wesneski? Even if you think Tucker is better than Bellinger, he's not that much better for a one year rental.....what am I missing?

Exactly. Anyone that is arguing for Bama should be ashamed. I watched the OU game and they got absolutely bent over (with no lube) in that game. A .500 Oklahoma team dominated them in every facet and it wasn't nearly as close as the score. They also dropped a game to an average Vandy team. I don't care if they beat the '85 Bears, they are disqualified. In fact, their program should get the death penalty for a couple of years to think about what they did. So freaking over the SEC worship.

One aspect in our (fans that want consistently good basketball) favor is his age. He'll be 67 in March.

I haven't watched much ND other than most of the USC game. They looked very....solid on both sides of the ball. Certainly not spectacular. They have a RB that was pretty dynamic and a good TE, but nothing else stood out. Their D backs fly to ball, so maybe suceptible to play-action/misdirection? Like you said, they can't be sloppy like in Columbus. IU clearly got rattled in the 2nd & 3rd quarters and OSU is too good to give away scores. If IU plays well (not out of their minds) I think they are better than ND. Winning in South Bend would be incredible.

This is awful, painful, terrible "basketball."

Yes, Bidunga is very active. Woulda been a great high-energy post off the bench. Ton of upside for the future.

Who looks worse in the last 24hrs- Hunter Dickinson or Dan Hurley?

Go Buffs!! I've got no problem with coaches being aggressive/vocal, but Hurely is just a d!ckhead whiner in the Izzo mold. I am a hater now.

Yes, yes he did. Hurley clearly thinks his crap don't stink, at this point.

That would be a travesty. I watched the OU game and Bama was thoroughly dominated, much worse than the score. Would love Auburn to pull off the upset though, just to put a stake in their heart.

I can't get the stink of that UNCG debacle out of my nostrils. IU - 67 Loserville - 74 :(

No doubt Day, Howard and virtually all of O$U are classless D-bags. That's not new or unexpected. However, Cig talked the talk, gotta back it up or shut up. IU got dominated, so crying about them running it up is weak, even if true. Only good news is they will choke when it matters. IU needs to destroy Purdoo and not get bent over like this again whoever they play after that.
