TTT

Trick play and high reward high risk play calling series almost cost Washington the game…worse play calling than IU coaching staff ever due to significance of game and a solid lead at the time. Penix should have won heisman. Congratulations to him. Washington offensive line is really really really good. Washington is a great definition of a solid team at every position. Coach DeBoer greatness…more under control after win than some coaches are when their team makes a first down. DeBoer and Penix is IU foot print on the National Collegiate Football Championship…the closest thing to a National Collegiate Football Championship that IU football program has ever had.

IU Ladies by 14+++ if IU Ladies are going to go very far this year.

Does IU play the Sunbelt conference champion in January 2025 for the National Collegiate Division 1 football championship?

IU 86 Ken 81

And T.A. is in a much better match for himself. He did excellent for himself both, professionally and financially. And the starving IU football fanbase create an illusion that James Madison is a division 1 football power with NFL like player prospects with a new IU football coach who accepts a $millions of reasons to lead IU football to the football promised land by accepting his best offer of the best thing going for him. I do wonder why he hasn’t been offered in power 5 before??…with all his winning success…Is IU decision makers all of a sudden football genius??

So can IU football come within 10 points of beating the likes of an 8-4 (4 game losing streak) Air Force team in 2024?

Some things to like in this game tempered by Bowling Green losing their team captain and leader a minute or so into game. IU Ladies do have a lot of upside to improve both individually and as a team. It is an intriguing winter.

I understand that part of what you are saying and I agree…However, the money part is blessed assurance (insurance).

Colossal risk = equals 0 risk from about $600,000 to $700,000 a year to about $2,500,000 per year plus more incentives for just doing a job hired to be done. That’s 0 risk not colossal.

Pre-game. No mention specifically of Currie Jelks, but T.Moren said everyone healthy and ready to go.

Not seeing IU Ladies beating a top 10 team at this point. 16 to 30 ranking would be accurate as there are 30 top rated or more teams that IU Ladies could win or lose because they haven’t been particularly reliable nor dominant thus far vs good teams and even not so good teams. Besides CC and Iowa (because of CC) there is much parity among big ten teams.

IU men’s basketball is to much mirroring IU football in the 21st century because there should be a much higher expectation for basketball due to a past men’s basketball tradition. IU. 79 Kansas. 76

Yes, she had to overcome some barriers that is what makes it so awesome. She and her staff really worked hard to get the IU Ladies basketball culture to where it is today….(and I remember her saying (humbly and confidently)a few years back that she had to learn a few things as well). The transfers were more of resistance to a new culture change than anything else. Buss and Cahill (great people and players themselves) along with the others that stayed bought in. ….just an interesting research of comments and T. Moren growth and accolades including coaching wins, assignments on national USA teams etc.

Reminiscing from when T. Moren started as IU Ladies basketball coach as to what it was and the barriers especially the first couple years (riding Buss and Cahill) to where it is in 2023-2024 and how it came to be over the T. Moren era thus far is just awesome.

P. Whitten is by far the best IU president since Ryan and Ehrlich. She is interested, visible, and supportive in IU sports programs. Early this year I noted that IU men’s basketball is a middle of the pack big ten team and that is where it will remain under the M.W. era. Not sure about the big time well known coaches are the answer. However, might want to keep an eye on the new (3rd year coach) up the road in Terre Haute. He is in the process of making immediate winning progress. Culture change… It didn’t take him long…at least for consideration…if success continues to rapidly grow….when that time comes.

Sidney Parrish 2024-2025 coming back. Let’s go.

Noting correlation of the word “Work” C. Cignetti: Let’s work. T. Moren: Do the work….. IU Ladies are relying on how much they can improve that will correlate to how successful they are going to be 2023-2024…so far a long way to go.

They could just open up a second season in both, football and basketball and baseball to all teams and every sport for all tournaments. Even individual sports. Over the years expansion no matter how far expanded there is the argument that certain teams on the bubble or even near the bubble should be in or out. Even if expansion was to everyone except one there would be an argument for that particular team or individual should be included. Kinda like the Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer effect. Before recent years you had same argument about bowl games. Who received bowl bids vs those who didn’t and arguments over who went to what bowl except for assigned bowl games like the major 4 bowls on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Sunday afternoon walk note: unfortunately large brace for Currie-Jelks.

That mishandled exchange from Georgia QB and running back was….

Jogging my memory…After looking it up February, 1987. I also thought about 40 years ago. Closer to 37 years. Coach Ron Meyer and Bobby Collins along with Eric Dickerson and winning SMU was pretty big in earlier and mid 1980’s. I think what they did was peanuts compared to what is now legalized today.

I remember many now (losing track of time meaning more than several years ago) that SMU received the death penalty in football. At 10-2 that is proof there is always hope…in the American Athletic Conference.

Lynn to USC from UCLA as defensive coordinator for a cool $2,000,000 per year

You forgot the retirement buyout package.

Keep eating the Ba…S!
