TTT

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!

Fans saying things and head coach saying things are different.

Cig hasn’t even scored an IU TD yet.

Totally different. Not the head coach and OSU and Michigan don’t need any motivation by head coach comments.

Nope. Because Teri Moren and other mature head coaches would stop short in a public forum saying other schools suck. Very immature. (even BK waited until he built success before he put JACK @$$ to represent Purdue (AD) on his weekly Sunday morning tv show with Chuck Marlow). Definitely locker room bulletin board material for other schools. Uncalled for and not a smart way to draw a line in the sand.

Good and fun, up until new Coach yells that schools who have beat up IU in football for many years suck.

Watching top teams play sometimes they look like what IU tries to do but does not do and top teams do it and make it look easy both, team wise and individual players.

Clown show

After watching post game press conference I noticed some coughing and wondering if some of the IU Ladies were a little bit under the weather.

There should be two happy coaches: one who receives a pocket full of cash to work to clean up a mess and work to make some IU football history. The other receives a pocket full of cash to leave an unpleasant situation and start a new job/career life on his own timeline.

I will just wait for the first touchdown

Love President Whitten visibility and interest in IU sports. Both, men and ladies. Cignetti IU era football success = Regular Season coaching record = win one more game than you lose. Bowl games record = win one more bowl game than you lose. Stated he has never looked at stars regarding a player and I am sure that is true. However, he does look at an evaluation on a player as most coaches do that includes a “star” like evaluation and like most coaches also want the player to have high level character. (He like everyone else wants the best rated players regardless of whatever rating scale used) or he better have them if he wants to win in big ten and that means winning above 50%.

Did IU Ladies design a game plan to play a certain way and were going to win that particular way regardless as long as they won and then use it for prep and teaching for big ten. The same could happen vs Stetson. B.K. especially in his prime unless he was trying to make a statement win a few games IU would play a certain way even if they looked awful doing it. It seems like IU Ladies were not really trying to win as in blowout in this one but more of a celebration tour game. If not, hard to tell where this season goes.

And then possibly something new will eventually come out and consolidate for a more hefty price of course.
