The only area I have optimism with this team is probably at WR. Jaylin Lucas, Cam Camper and Donovan McCulley... Then I remember it's between Sorsby and Jackson to throw to them... If we had Kevin Wilson still, I'd probably have some more optimism about it just because of the system. But with this staff? Oof.. good WR prospects though. I think McCulley can be a star. In the Roby, Hardy, Latimer, Cobbs, Westbrook, Belcher, Doss, Jones levels.

You forgot, EJ Williams, the Clemson transfer. Apparently he’s been big time over the summer.

I'm pretty sure Old Fart posts about every sport.

We will see... if we have someone that can get any of them the ball.

Routinely winning would be a pretty awesome start!!  ;)

They asked and I gave my thoughts. Gameday is just very... High school like.. hard to brag about being a Top 15 profit generator and be so daggum cheap on everything.

Right, the best upgrade the stadium could get would be a winning home team.

Will the QB be clean and upright, turned sideways, or on the ground for 2023?

Nice! It'll be good to have someone to discuss my love of field hockey and rowing this season! SMH

Check this out from Bruce Feldman's "CFB Freaks List". LOL. A freak indeed:

99. Jaylin Lucas, Indiana, running back/kick returner

The 18-year-old Louisiana native has brought some blazing speed to Bloomington. He gained 271 yards as a rusher, caught 16 passes and took two of 21 kickoffs back for touchdowns.

The 170-pounder with 4 percent body fat was clocked this offseason in the 40 at 4.29. His coaches see him as a Darren Sproles-type weapon. Lucas loves that comp as someone who grew up watching the former K-State star in the NFL, but he also sees De’Anthony Thomas in his game.

Is it true that preseason is traditionally IU football's best season?

More bathrooms!  You can never say no to more bathrooms.

I'm not sure what they can do...but the overall gameday experience needs to be rethought and revamped/reworked. 

Before moving out of state, was a season ticket holder for years...and the gameday experience always left a lot to be desired. Tons of dead time, outdated music, and largely the same exact thing rinse and repeated week in week out. I understand the need to get some staple items in place each game, but the current approach becomes very stale, very quick...especially if the production on the field is the same.

Win games and this matters a lot less, but until then...you've got to keep people engaged and wanting to come back week over week.
