TTT

Johnny Unitas had several jobs in off season….as did many professional athletes.

Game Above Sports Super Bowl: Is Central Michigan unhappy with NIL deals? And participating in some sound investment Vegas betting to make some money? Vs Powerful NW. Pop Tarts anyone?

Currently, low 4 star at 93 per ESPN. IU Ladies recruiting many in that range over the years.

Oklahoma 95 to WC 32….IU Ladies were in the beat down range of other average teams that have beaten WC excluding good Oklahoma team…..Makalusky continues to play ok. She needs to be more involved and engaged intensely (consistently) without fouling. Thinking. IU Ladies need another (all teams need them) all American level center or big girl to go with Z. Concern/Issue with Z: 1. Last year at UCLA injured most of season 2. This year at IU injured (how long can she sustain play without injury. Some of the happenings including injuries (even though T. Moren has said more than once they are not excuses) have become excuses presented in kind of different wording. (about to find out about…. trying to take overall to many lower level players team versus overall to many higher level players team)….though it may already be known. .

And each of those opponents have a like or similar road ahead.

Thinking about this crazy football world that is lived in today…..Alabama defeats Oklahoma to earn the right to play IU.

Colorado coach D. Sanders version of Cignetti’s: “I win. Google me.” D. Sanders: “I am not a loser.”

Womack/Alabama made impressive adjustments that physically showed. IU offensive line has to show up. Alabama like OSU likes to get physical in adrenaline rush. IU a couple weeks to get ready…..Expecting IU to matchup physically, and teach this Alabama team pursuit, finesse, and execution.

IU. 31 Bama. 17

Gigi Battle and Sara Okeke are teammates….umm.

Josh Shertz St Louis though haven’t played much of anyone accept Stanford in Cali and lost by 1….are 10-1.

Could Sara Okeke be in play for IU Ladies 2026????

Curt Cignetti and everyone else involved unbelievable success at IU that became a reality was a dream that ….Deion Sanders had including all the hype as he was taking the job at Colorado.

No trip to N.Y. for E.R. Iowa vs UCONN

players are hopping around……..

Good assessment. I think it will be a combination of what % not clear; maybe a flexible 50/50….even for traditional power houses….now programs are dealing with players; their agents, along with family and advisers….and players are hoping around for playing time, opportunities including financial. However, happiness will bring better retention rates and should equal higher success if retention are with your starting lineups.

IU Ladies may have dodged a bullet by Emily Rodriguez going to Iowa. She is already disappearing over playing time…..though Currently J. Jensen says is still on the team (wasn’t on bench last game).

It’s not transfer portal anymore already….it’s Free Agency And coach Cig and staff will ATTACK! (no more waiting if he will get better and better like the old IU tradition …..the player either has it or he doesn’t. (and then players who have it will improve and develop from there). High character Winning…. IU fans actually get to know players and team at break neck speed attached to them in any season or two….A Shooting Rocket Fast Forward to New Applicants and only the Strongest Will Survive (play)……a college program being run like an NFL program. You can really tell the difference in familiarity and attachment to 100+ winning football players and coaches vs losing even with a much smaller team numbers.

January 4 at 6:00pm.

Things are working out for M&M. She was going to be a starter eventually this year all along. T. Moren was making her earn it (challenging her…kinda B.K. tatic) and giving her time to get there. High character (probably a bit immature as she stated she thought she had grit but learning in that area). Though a freshman M&M should be more confident as more playing time is pretty much hers as another IU 6’3” high level Lady is much needed along side of Noyan and Z; especially when Z comes back…the ??? with Z will she sustain a healthy season throughout this season and the future (which she has yet to do).

IU Ladies at full strength: Starters: Zania 6’3”. Maya 6’3” Navaeh 5’10” Lenee 6’1” Ceizki 7’0”. Players who can play a lot: Edessa. 6’3”. Val 6’0” jerni 5’7”. Player who can play a little Phoenix 5’9”

LMU Ladies 80 Eastern Michigan Ladies 71 IU Ladies 98 LMU 54 IU Ladies 74 Eastern Michigan Ladies 67

And Texas Ladies 76 Baylor Ladies 44 with 6:12 to go.

J.K. will play more minutes.
