It all comes down to the front five on offense and front seven on defense. That's it. No improvements from last season, same results. Improvements from last season, more wins.

He doesn't know but he's making a very safe bet. It's unfortunately likely to happen. And what's even more unfortunate is if, if it does indeed happen it will likely cost CTA his job or at least put him directly in the hot seat. It will probably cause a mass exit of transfers out the door, more decommits, etc. etc. All because he was too stubborn to let go of a failed OL coach from last season. I hope to eat a giant plate of crow after posting this.

Get two schools from the ACC and 2 from the Big 12. Don't care which ones but that will basically deal a major blow to the SEC. My picks would be FSU/Miami from the ACC and Baylor/Texas Tech from the Big 12.

I think this might be the direction it's heading. But who knows. I believe the pair they just picked up from the PAC 12 is probably best that conference had to offer. I mean Oregon and maybe Stanford could really add muscle but overall it makes way more sense to pick up UCLA/USC over any other PAC 12 school. Personally, I would pick up a pair from the Big 12 and a pair from the ACC. This would probably help with regional coverages across the nation. My picks would be either Duke/UNC or FSU/Miami from the ACC and Baylor/Kansas or Baylor/Texas Tech from the Big 12. These schools (minus Kansas) compete in football but most importantly completely destroy the SEC in basketball. I really like the idea of picking up FSU/Miami because that puts the Big Ten Conference right in SEC land. The SEC is probably scrambling today to try to pick up more schools as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if the schools on the list are schools you and I have mentioned here. So it's gonna be a race to pick them up. Because yesterday the B1G just shot a across the SEC bow.

My only complaint with this move is any IU road game in Los Angeles is gonna suck for Eastern and Central time zone folk like myself. But overall, this is a really good move for the conference.

Just spit ballin' here, but wondering if NIL and getting closer to home also played roles?

You never know. If I had to guess Coach Bell is just trying to fill the depth chart, especially if the rumors are correct about McCulley moving to WR.

If the front five plays like last year then only one game is winnable.

Translation: NIL isn't working out all that well for 'Bama and the head coach sees the writing on the wall that other schools in their own division have deeper booster pockets and are serious threats.

He's the Thomas Jefferson or Teddy Roosevelt to the Mt. Rushmore of 'How are they still coaching in the NCAA?'

Define lately or killer recruiters? I ask because last year's class is the highest ranked class in the history of IUFB since the inception of ranking classes. Folks like Peoples and Wright are fairly new to the staff. And Wright is knocking it out the park in my opinion.

I'm betting ND bound.

I already made comments via twitter regarding the UM-Wisconsin post game situation. My other comment is the following: I don't buy doing away with post game handshakes. I think that's putting a band-aid on the real issue the big ten has here. The big ten has allowed certain type of play on the court. In fact they/we pride them/ourselves on it. So much so that when you talk to anyone at your local pub in big ten country you typically complain about how 'soft' (For 21 years straight the big ten hasn't brought home a championship.) the rest of the county's NCAA basketball is. It was just a matter of time with the way the games are being officiated and how Wisconsin plays basketball that an altercation like this was going happen. We all know it. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate what kind of image the big ten wants regarding the black and blue, ground and pound, rough and tough, banging body conference it is? Final comment: I don't know about your work environment but assault will get me pink slipped at my place of employment.
