Brown sugar cinnamon not being a first-ballot choice is an absolute travesty! Cinnamon roll can't carry brown sugar cinnamon's jock strap!

After three quarters of very "meh" football, an offensive explosion with three TDs in the final 15 minutes of the Tom Allen Bowl. PSU now leads 22-10.

Who's gonna be the first to score a TD in the Tom Allen Bowl? Will anybody score a TD in the Tom Allen Bowl?

From Salt Lake City to Ann Arbor???

Hoosiers 75 Former Franimals 58

Need to amend the analyst's comment from "Heckuva screen over there" to "Heckuva illegal screen over there." Oy-vey ...

Battle of Seattle goes to ... Seattle. Redhawks 70, Washington 66

ARE -- along with the rest of us -- is loving this!

Kennesaw State scores on 82-yard TD pass. The comeback has begun! WMU 41, KSU 6

Hoosiers 88 Cougars 62

America's favorite talk show host/basketball coach is taking a break ... from his talk show. Maybe the 10-35 record was an indication this wasn't working. Still can't believe the Green Bay AD agreed to that in the fist place. https://x.com/awfulannouncing/status/2001657473665486987?s=20

Not seeing a NASCAR thread, so posting here. A plane piloted by former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and with his family aboard crashed this morning in North Carolina. No survivors. I guess he piloted several helicopter flights to deliver aid and help for victims of Hurricane Helene a couple years ago. Sounds like he was a helluva man. Very tragic news. r

Such an irony that I see this story today (12/18). My mom, an IU grad and HUGE Hoosiers sports fan, passed three years ago this morning from cancer. Miss her every day. Keep fighting, Coach Rhet!

ODU's QB -- gave us trouble in our first game this season -- bailed on them after the regular season. Their backup just led them to a 24-10 win over South Florida in their bowl game. Carried 24 times for 107 yards. Took a helluva whack, too -- but came right back. Good for the Monarchs -- they're about 20 minutes from where I live.

America's reaction to Pavia's behavior Saturday night: "Oh, gnome you didn't!"

TMZ captured video of him going to an interview for an internship last summer.

ESPN has us at No. 6. Hoping this is a sign that we're working our way back toward being among the nation's elite teams.

We're back!!!

AP National Coach of the Year -- back to back. https://apnews.com/article/ap-coach-of-year-indiana-cf177fc230d69e794bba129ecccd9267

I'm not qualified or smart enough to accurately judge Glass' tenure as AD. I think, though, that my biggest disappointment was how he handled things after he fired Kevin Wilson. When he trotted out Tom Allen during that presser, I thought for sure he was gonna say "And while we sort through things and determine what's next, Tom Allen will be our interim coach." Instead, he announced that he'd given him a six-year contract as the new permanent HC. No search. Nothing. Granted, Allen did go on to have a couple decent seasons -- but one of those was the bizarre COVID year, which turned out to be a real outlier. But IMO -- that's no way for a major university to make a major hire. You gotta do a national search. Fred always struck me as a guy willing to put his nose to the grindstone, but geez -- he sure took the path of least resistance in that case. I'll give him this, though -- he did hire Teri Moren. I was vehemently against that at the time (shows you what I know. LOL).

Did not get to watch the Heisman show Saturday night. As much as I love 'Nando -- I'm a little disappointed with his reaction to winning. I don't think it was very sportsmanlike (although I thought Pavia deserved what he got): https://x.com/Gloc_Rivers/status/2000742232735780941?s=20

Former Illinois football coach Mike White died Sunday. He was 89. Took the Illini to the Rose Bowl after the 1983 season with Jack Trudeau as QB. They got clocked, however, by UCLA -- whose quarterback was ... Rick Neuheisel.

Del Sol coach: "HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL DID WE LET THEM HAVE THAT ONE POINT! TOMORROW NIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA RUN TILL YOU CAN'T EAT SUPPER!"

Gus is always the guy you love when your team is doing well, but hate when it's not.

B1G Network is showing the condensed version of the Penn State game. Just saw 'The Catch." Get such a kick out of Gus Johnson's call: "MENDOOOOOZA! ... IN TROUBLE! ... END ZONE! ... TOUCHDOWN! ... WOW! ... AGasrasa. jasturasa. ... UNBELIEVABLE! ... GIVE HIM THE HEISMAN TROPHY NOW!" Still amazing what 'Nando did -- 80 yards, 2 minutes, no timeouts and he was sacked on the first play. Also still can't believe we squib kicked after that. Did we have a brain fart and forget they needed just 3 points to tie. Still, quite a ballgame.
