  1. He played before any of us were around (though I think @Class of '66 Old Fart might have had a class or two with him), but any IU football Mount Rushmore absolutely HAS to include Pete Pihos. He was an end and fullback and was a three-time All-American. He even took time off from IU to fight in WWII. He played nine years with the Eagles, was a six-time All-Pro and two-time NFL champion. He was the first former IU player to be inducted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and is one of two Hoosiers (along with George Taliaferro) in Canton. So, here's my list: Pete Pihos George Taliaferro Anthony Thompson Antwaan Randle El
  2. I recall reading that South Carolina was very close to hiring Kirby Smart after Spurrier resigned. When Georgia found out this was coming down the pike, they fired Richt just so they could make sure Smart didn't get away and could bring him back home.
  3. ARE trying to give the Bears a little energy before tonight's game. https://x.com/ChicagoBears/status/1977880807562674575
  4. Bill O'Brien? He left skidmarks when he bolted State College a few years back. He couldn't get out of there quick enough.
  5. If I were Virginia Tech, I'd have been on the phone with James Franklin's people within 5 minutes of PSU's press release going out announcing his dismissal. That, to me, just seems like a perfect fit.
  6. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere ... Anybody know anything about the traditional schedule posters this year? I have not seen anything. I used to order one for me and one for my mom (an IU alum and big basketball fan) every year before she passed.
  7. Toiletmakers No. 1 Kelvin Sampson No. 2 Dusty May No. 7 Thank God it's only the preseason ...
  8. The Nits had the perfect candidate right there in Happy Valley, but let him escape to Clemson. CTA and LEO at PSU!
  9. No. 3 in AP as well.
  10. NEVER. GETS. OLD. https://x.com/IndianaFootball/status/1977168505742209161
  11. I keep seeing that this is a signature victory. I disagree ... It's a CIGnature victory!!!
  12. I'm sure this has been discussed/posted -- but consider this ... Oregon scored 14 points on a busted coverage and a pick six. They were damn lucky to get the 20 they did.
  13. Need a Cubs victory to make the day complete!
  14. Wait a minute ... Rick Neuheisel: "At this point, I think the only elite team is Ohio State." WTF! We just went to Oregon and ended the Quackers' 18-game home win streak. F*ck you, Ricky. WE ARE ELITE.
  15. WOW -- I didn't think we'd get that call.
  16. With our luck on replays, it'll be 4th down.
  17. Nowakowski -- you gotta run that route 1 more yard.
