IU 21 Bama 13

My dad had same plate. I thought it might be worth something. Spoiler.....it's not. There's an interesting fact about this plate that I'm not 100% sure of. Believe they put Tom Abernathy's #33 on Kent Benson's body due to Benson only being a Jr while Abernathy was a Sr. Someone please correct me if wrong.

Not sure about that. Could be. Or every SEC team is what everyone outside the SEC faithful thought.....not that super duper great.

Clearly I'm biased but that was maybe the most entertaining 13-10 game I have ever watched. At no point did I think these offenses suck. Instead I kept saying these defenses are insanely good. This U and A&M game......nope not that.

Oklahoma is an undisciplined team, at least tonight.

Oklahoma's defense is legit and their K is really good. Outside of that I haven't been impressed with either team.

Wow

Yeah not sure on that either but I think they can enter and play but whether or not the coach would allow that I'm doubtful. It is interesting and I was thinking of it from the opposite direction. Really does put those kids/coaches in a bind. Good question and I await a smart response lol.

Think it's 1/2-1/10 or something like that. No spring portal. I imagine playoff P4 teams will actually be at an advantage given the lure of playing for a contender.

There were Iowa fans sharing Pavia's bs and saying we'll take care of the disrespect to Indiana. It was funny. I believe Iowa will absolute slap them to March.

Oh, I'm by no means arguing which sport drives the financial bus. I'm just simply saying there is no need to start ignoring basketball due to football success. Their can be high end commitment to both simultaneously. In fact there are many schools that have and currently are doing just this. I just want it all.....that too much to ask?

Just learned that Villanova's punter is 33 years old. The dream is alive!! I'm going to go out back and start practicing my kicking game.

There is zero reason both can't be in the national spotlight. No need to rob Peter to pay Paul. Fund/support both and be nationally relevant annually in both marquee sports in collegiate athletics.

I agree. OSU and USC at home. Roadies against UM, Nebraska and Washington. No clue what to expect from N. Texas. I think next year's schedule is tough.

I'm not sure there's ever been an easier star of a team for me to root for. He embodies humility, graciousness, courage, toughness and discipline. That's my QB

Always need depth on the lines. Problem there is so does everyone else. I'd say DB is thin. Any NFL guys know if Ponds projects well for the draft this year? Clearly production says yes but measurables probably tell another story.

I still look at Alberto and suspect he'd be fine waiting and developing another year before taking over as a RSJR. Maybe I'm crazy. Staff will know what's best but if I'm him and I just watched what they did with my brother I'm good with getting 2 years of running the show.

Wish this wasn't at noon

There are really only 2 factors that could make him even consider coming back. One is the time/experience with his brother. The other is if they don't win the natty this year and that really, really, really matters to him. Neither is a good enough reason. Go get filthy rich and play the game you love. So much can change in a year where he would not be in this same position. Gotta strike while the iron is hot.

Only 2 playoff teams can boast more than 1 win against another team in the field. Georgia (6 Ole Miss, 9 Alabama) and Indiana (2 OSU, 5 Oregon).

Not really backtracked. Just clarified that he was just saying IU was a team to watch and that he wasn't ready to predict anything.

Larry on X said IU is a team to watch for Marsh. That was the 1st place I saw it. BTW this Larry fella is getting a lot of things right lately.

Ahhhh lol! Good call then

Cig couldn't care less what some blow hard that's watched highlight clips of a kid thinks he should be rated in stars. Since I trust Cig and his staff at talent evaluation over any of these other people, I also couldn't care less.

If DeBoer has any self-awareness he realizes that he's never going to be able to live up to his predecessor. He may want to get out while his stock is still high? That fan base is already not happy with him and another year like these last 2, or worse, next year and he'll likely be forced out with stock down. Being the HC at UM is one hell of a consolation if that's how you want to look at it. Idk if UM wants him or if he wants to leave Bama but I could certainly see where everyone involved could see this as a good thing.
