At Colorado Deon Sanders is past his prime…. making a lot of money though.

Classy Husky coach

Bad play call on 2nd and 1 by over rated ND results in interception by Northern Illinois. Before that ND gets away with over the back pass interference to get the ball. Then, refs give horrible spot to Northern Illinois to make it 4th down. Northern Illinois kicks field goal and holds ND off to win game. Good for the Huskies.

Typical painting of false hope in a minor league game. IU Football Reality UCLA 31 IU 17

There’s room for a 5 star recruit with a harmony match attitude that fits with the team and it’s growth at IU.

According to Blue Blood Bias College football rankings after game one IU ranked 22….that should make IU football fans feel better…..but not quite as good as Colorado Buffalo fans as they are ranked 10.

Caitlin Clark should get 51% of WNBA ownership.

1+1+1= 3

IU 52 Western Illinois 10

Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky Friday Evening ION TV Ticket Prices Approximately: (Not sure if any are left @ $150…$250….$300….$400…$800…up to $2,000 each.

Coincidence or did IU Ladies receive recent news of Beckham to Georgia and announced the most recent addition on Saturday as insurance as I noted in a recent post.

IU. 44 Florida International 20

Aubrey Beckham to announce decision of where she is going to play Monday afternoon August 26.

Impressive Athletic Performance hire. K.K. seemed to have responsibility beyond IU Ladies Basketball and seemed at KY his responsibility will be Lady KY basketball only. At Houston K.D. seemed to have responsibility beyond Ladies Basketball but at IU will be IU Ladies Basketball only which would be good. Not sure if the above is correct? Maybe, someone could explain the scope of this particular position. Seems that effort and time was put in to getting this hire right.

A player that can develop into a role player in a two or three years if she stays around like Henna has done. (always possibility of a sleeper as in surprise successful recruit/player in a couple years). Plus higher level of player/s are currently being recruited (Aubrey Beckham). The outstanding question is who is going to be added to class of 2025 and 2026? Will she or they come to IU…the highest level prospects are challenging for the IU Ladies.

Wonder if it is an insurance recruit regarding class of 2025 even though this is a 2024 recruit as in looking ahead (A.Beckham comes to mind).

Not over til it’s over…don’t see anything that says IU Ladies are out of the running even though KY and a couple others noted. IU Ladies are one of the schools that have to wait, compete, work hard for the very top recruits unlike UCONN and several others. You also don’t see IU on very many lists for the very top recruits as often as other top programs….However, IU Ladies are still doing a very solid/excellent job in recruiting.

Schedule as it stands now lends itself to team development, I suppose. Atlantis (couple games) will provide tough competition along with Stanford. Could go undefeated entering big ten with top 20 ranking…then will find out how good IU Ladies will be 2024-2025 season. Or a couple top 20 teams could be added to schedule to make it more exciting. Outside Alantis, not exciting, rather boring as it is now.

Accounting for inflation/cost of living….I wonder how salaries, support staff including cost when comparing Branch McCracken and Bob Knight to the 21st century IU men’s basketball coaches and staff.

My estimation roughly $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 million in head coach salaries only; for century 21…sounds like a good gig if you can get it.

Offered by T. Moren….Ashley MacCalla from Middletown High School in New York 5’10” guard per espn rating 93. I suspect that will go up by 2027. 3 years away

Is Mike Woodson going to help coach the football team?

Came in with a lot of high flying excitement and after day one of practice seems a little more subdued….like a little closer to IU football reality. Parallels of IU coach interviews for forever as season approaches. Sunbelt does not equal 9 of the games on the 12 game regular season schedule. It equals 3 games of the 12 game regular schedule….and maybe 4 or 5 wins searching for number 6 in November. Maybe, Maybe not for year one of the honeymoon.

IU Ladies is much better than 12.5% vs these programs

Coach would probably be in agreement that it’s time for a couple of even a few million dollars raise before 2024-2025 season will help solve all things that are IU men’s basketball.
