Joe Cronin -

HC Todd Yeagley tells me that with UCLA and Washington joining the Big Ten, the league has agreed to increase the number of conference matches from 8 to 10 for the 2024 season. Every Big Ten team will play each other once (5 Home, 5 Road).

I know many of you are swamped with school, work, or family commitments, and can’t always keep up with the big stories in soccer. I’m working on a newsletter to help soccer fans stay in the loop. Nothing too analytical or comprehensive (no trolling), just the good stuff about the key leagues and the business of soccer. A digestible summary straight to your inbox.

I wanted to extend an invitation to you all. This is a knowledgeable group, figured some of you might find it helpful. It’s also free to join.

Constructive criticism is welcomed.

Very nice additions

Final spring exhibition game our Hoosiers tied Notre Dame 1-1 thanks to a Luka Bezerra goal.  Number of regulars were banged up per Coach Yeagley and it was at best a makeshift lineup as Barger, Mihalic, Oduro & Sarver all sat out.  Hoosiers actually scored first but ND responded a few minutes later.

Preseason #7

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,002]

As the saying goes, we have some good news - see post immediately above -  and we have some not so good news.

From Jared Kelly - Virginia transfer goalkeeper and two-year starter Holden Brown suffered a season-ending knee injury and will undergo surgery soon. Brown was expected to push JT Harms for the starting GK job this fall. He has two year of eligibility remaining.

Didn't take long to nab a replacement for Holden Brown.  Announced signing of Aidan Montoure this morning.
