Bailey's been around long enough to realize that you either don't foul, or if you do foul, make damn sure he doesn't make the basket.

Sisley got caught watching the ball get batted around -- and forgot to stick with his man.

Gonna invoke a little Mike Davis here -- help is on the way. As of now, we have a Top 10 recruiting class coming in. A poster here who seems to have good knowledge of the program said many of this season's problems stem from CTM's reluctance to get into the NIL game. She apparently was a little too old-school and wanted to believe things could remain status quo, and players would come to IU because they wanted to come to IU. She didn't fully accept that it's gonna take $$$ to get better talent. But now she has. We have a decent base now, but it's young and raw. Give them some seasoning and pair them up with the newcomers and I think (hope) that we'll be good again. Maybe not for another year or two, but we'll get there. My fear is that the young talent we do have will get discouraged with this mediocrity and want to bolt. Hope that's not the case, but you never know ... Also feel bad for Shea. She's been fantastic this season -- and we're wasting it.

Though we lost, we played so well in the third quarter at Nebraska. Today, we went right back into the third-quarter sh-tter.

I missed yesterday's game -- was driving back from a funeral in Charlotte. I did get back in time, however, to watch another Bears rally -- this time over the hated Packers. As I watched, I realized something ... Chicago HC Ben Johnson bears (pun intended) a bit of a resemblance to Huskers hoops coach Fred Hoiberg, who coincidentally, is a former Chicago Bulls HC. Nothing really deep here -- just an observation.

Not quite Mendoza to Cooper, but a great clutch pitch and catch! Bear down!

Great day for Chicago. Bears down the Peckers. Cubs sign Bregman.

What do you do when you win a rematch many thought you couldn't? When you throttle that opponent in that rematch? When you've outscored your two CFP opponents 94-25? When you've reached 15-0 for the first time? When you've won not one -- but two -- bowl games in a season? When you've reached your first national title game? YOU SING!!!

I'm liking this Mendoza kid ...

Always fun to see the score in big type ...

That was quacktastic!

Damn -- I'm greedy. I wanted to keep them under 20.

I hate to b-tch about refs when there are only 34 seconds to play, but come on. All the sh-t you let go and you call that?

Alberto time!

TBH -- I think Cigs is pissed at this horrid officiating and is taking it out on the quackers.

KAELON BLACK!!! The Virginia Beach kid!!!

JFC -- they just tackled our D-lineman.

Kamara just got held. And Cigs is pissed.

Not only did Nduwke block that punt -- but he fought through a hold to do so.

That'll work.

Ferrell -- you gotta make that pick, man.

He pulled him down. How the f-ck do you miss that!

15 more minutes. Finish strong!
