ND lost to a G5 team at home I just don’t understand

Coach Cigs on the Pat Mcafee show today was great content

Love it, Artie. As fans, we don't necessarily have to live in reality (or at least I don't). No matter how the last month or so of the season goes it is my belief that Cig has to get any and everything he wants. The $ on ROI for keeping him is too sweet of a deal. I've had the same thought that the stadium needs an expansion, but the upgrade I'd really love to see would be candy-striped seats in the stadium. Red section/white section. The current seats are so dismal and unattractive for a viewer, but the striped theme would add an element of uniqueness to IU that would be a big hit with the fan base and recruits imo.

Blank check and a white piece of paper asking what upgrades the stadium, facilities, FB program needs to retain him. I'm for the Bob Knight treatment of Coach Cigs

Why was Adidas the right decision?

38-17 IU

Can anyone here elaborate with the exact injury and reasoning for his delayed return? Maybe it's not a delayed return due to the severity of the injury I don't know. Is it normal to be out for 14+ months?

If you go I will attempt too as well

IU 42 Terps 24

Thank you

"Michael Anthony Locksley is an American football coach. He is currently the head football coach at the University of Maryland, a position he has held since 2019." Locksley was 2018 Broyles award winner under Saban, given to the top asst coach. He's spent several years as Co-OC/OC at Alabama. At Maryland, Locksley has led the Terps to 3 consecutive winning seasons and a bowl win each year. Maryland's best 3 year run in program history. In the last 3 years Maryland has the fifth most wins in the B10. After a bit of research, I've came away impressed in Locksley - he's had an illustrious and successful career. He took Illinois from 72nd in total offense in 2005 to top 20 in Offensive production in 2008. He helped form the National Coalition of Minority Football Coaches in 2020. I love Coach Cigs, but Locksley is an impressive individual. Locksley at Maryland Road W/L (B10 only): 8-15 Against IU: 3-2 (3-0 in last 3 games) WR Felton leads the team in receptions with 41, the next closest WR has 21. Last year Felton gained 134 yards against IU's defense in a dominant win. Maryland has a road win at UVA this year. Hemby has been the leading rusher and Felton has led in Rec Yds each game this season total 115+ in each game. Does IU have the DB's to slow him down? QB Edwards has been a monster, putting up stats nearly identical to Kurtis Rourke. Maryland has given up 120+ rushing yds against both UVA and Mich St this season, giving up nearly 4 YPC. Prediction: IU 42 Terps 24

No matter how long you’ve known is irrelevant Woody is reeling them in. It’s awesome

Woody on fire

IU needs Hickman. Come home Connor

Needing a step up there. Rice 28% and Carlyle 32% paired with Gallo - not great on paper. Dynamic play-making guards. Here’s what I love though: PAC12 Fr Of Yr PG and B10 Fr of Yr Taco

The rumor that caused me to post yesterday was that IU was becoming the PAC12 Hoosiers. You guys jumped on me! Obviously no commitments yet but Rice Carlyle Ballo very likely Hoosiers. Props where it’s due Coach Woodson Armond Hill and Co

Hmm how are things shaping up for IU in the portal I wonder

Getting players

All starkness aside I do appreciate the mods and BtownBanners members

Sir appreciate the commentary but as @Alford Bailey and @Chris007 have said this is the Portal w/ IU interest thread. It is not the analyze realTomCrean thread. I suggest you move forums with your reply.

Nope. Someone mentioned burning my hand as a child on the stove. Happened like 5 times it’s just who I am. King Woody!

This has something to do with Transfer portal W IU Interest? Should I direct you to another thread as well, certainly @Chris007 set you straight.

Yes sir! No delineation here, got it!

Has quite literally everything to do with the portal. BTW I'm eating crow if I'm wrong here right now, or eating crow for throwing dirt on Mike Woodson's name for 3 months. Sorry if initial post wasn't up to the standard, was rushed and still am with work so will explain within next few hours. I have seen much more egregious examples of not pertaining to the thread in a post though. Rice, Hickman/Carlyle, Tucker, Ballo, NAIA C + more Seems like the $ is talking loud
