I’m just saying, it might be worth everyone coming to terms with the fact that there aren’t any complete, dominant teams this year. Miami almost lost to a very mediocre UNC team, Notre Dame looked average against Navy, OSU just got beat by a USC team that lost badly to Wisconsin (who lost 30-0 against Iowa today). We aren’t last year’s IU team. But we’re probably an average QB away from being the most complete team in the country. Maybe Hoover has been playing pretty hurt, and trying to grit it out. Maybe he’s pressing. He doesn’t need to be Mendoza. He just need to be the Tex Tech version of himself and our defense and wide receivers put us right near the top of the elite teams. Hopefully that’s how it plays out. Hasn’t been pretty. Close calls. But how does last year play out if we lose that game to PSU? Never know. Me, I’m just enjoying the ride. College football is wild. But at least IU is a part of it.

Respectfully, this take on USC isn’t aging well. Turns out it’s tough for elite programs to win when their first string QB is injured. (Also, see Oregon)

That was a pretty epic turnaround. Helped MSU’s best player got hurt. But they flipped the switch the last three sets. I don’t watch every match, but who is #6 on IU. She was killing us and couldn’t control anything of the serve. No mobility at all. Good win though. Tatum is a stud.

Don’t be surprised if Wyatt plays some linebacker. He had 3 yrs of LB play at Maryland.

Big mistake. Totally unnecessary. Michigan could have had him by all accounts and passed.

My guy was going to be fired if the selection committee puts ND in the playoffs over them four months ago. Gets a 7-yr deal instead. Talk about a glow up, as the kids say. Wonder what that buyout is? Might be in play sooner than later.

Feels like his stock may have fallen below our liking here. In Feb he was linked to Bama, A&M, Ole Miss and TN. Ended up committing to Kentucky over Purdue and Louisville. Think camcelling his visit to btown might have been a mutual decision.

Honestly, neither would matter. We’re likely looking at 14-15 new players on the team next year. This was a one year project. It didn’t work. We didn’t build momentum for next year or develop a couple guys for a sophomore jump. This season of Indiana basketball was just this season of Indiana basketball. And now it’s over. Really never felt a connection to this team in any way. It was mediocre basketball played by players who I barely got to know, and will not remember in six months That part hurts to admit. It hurt seeing balconies empty all year. Hurt that we didn’t have a brand of basketball that was interesting. Probably watched the fewest games in a season in my 35 years as an IU fan. I just hope they can get my attention back somehow next year. Because losing interest in one of the things that has been a part of your identity and a source of hope and sometimes joy, feels weird. I just want them to make me care. We’re at a point where that would be an achievement.

B1G+ is the worst. Trying to kill time until Super Bowl and can’t even watch an IU game.

Do we know which game Homecoming will be next season?

I guess why not, but do you have to declare when you’re out of eligibility?

Hoping it’s genuine. We have a bright spotlight right now, so convenient for publicity to associate with us on socials as we celebrate the season. All kids these days use the brand names and recruiting love to build their brand. But I’d like to think he’s truly considering us with Cig and a natty.

Does anybody have any experience or info on how to donate to IU’s NIL? I checked out Hoosier Connect and when I sign in the only option is a link to Bison Drop store. Is this a mobile thing, is desktop different? Thought you could make one time donations or set up recurring.

Personally I think Cooper is coming back. Tea leaves and an NIL bag proposed that I think he will grab.

The NFL site says the 23rd was last day to declare. And Coop’s name isn’t among the list of declared, but Fernando and Ponds are.
