It’s funny but we stayed 2 extra days and on Sunday we were at Manhattan Beach and Hermosa all day. As you know they are really nice beaches and beach towns only 20 minutes or so from LAX with each having a little different vibe (Manhattan a little more upscale and Hermosa a bit more laid back). It just so happened that on Sunday there was a large stage on the sand at Hermosa beach with a music festival.  Good time. We checked out Newport Beach/OC on Monday.

I used to date a girl that lived in Hermosa. Man, that was a fun place to spend a weekend.

Spot on. If you had the extra day I would have told you to head down to Laguna Beach or head up to Santa Barbara for some wine tasting. LOL!

Daughter lives in S. Diego on a canyon at Balboa Park.  Hit a number of beaches from the border (Imperial) to Pacific to LaJolla to San Clemente to Laguna to Newport to Huntington Rt. 66 end up to Santa Barbara.  Primitive camped above Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite...Been up and down and around the east coast too.   Portugal, south of France... the Med...Honeymooned in the Virgin Islands.  But my favorite beaches are on Oahu.  Of course, the quarries in B'town aren't half bad...and Griffy was a great...experience...y'know what I mean..

Progress slow and steady, 27th overall in coaches poll, 2nd receiving votes; 67 total

That’s awesome! So beat Maryland at home and we’re ranked.

Don’t beat Maryland at home? We don’t deserve to be ranked.

I released my top 25 this morning before church. Personally, I have Indiana ranked 22nd. I'm just better than the AP or coaches poll obviously.

True, but that's setting the bar pretty low!

IU looks like a good football team. Out side a handful of defensive series all season, they've looked great, actually. I suppose the competition has something to do with that, but still.  Based on results they are top 20, but I'm fine with flying under the radar for as long as possible.

Click on ESPN. The lead (paywalled) story of the ESPN.com front page?

QUARTERBACK

84.png&h=60&w=60Kurtis Rourke, Indiana. I don't want to alarm anybody, but Indiana -- the Indiana that has won more than eight games in a season just twice and hasn't done so since the Beatles were still together -- now has, per SP+, a 55% chance of finishing the regular season 9-3 or better. And while Curt Cignetti's army of James Madison transfers has played a huge role in that, another newcomer has played an even larger role.

3:30ET kick at Northwestern next week. On BTN again.

I am dying to see how the next few weeks shake out and when/where that Nebraska game lands. An NBC Saturday night homecoming game would be a sight to see.

You think there's a chance that's flexed to a night game? 

I figured it was only between noon and 330.

It will probably be Michigan/Illinois, but if that game ends up being Big Noon (Big 12 slate kinda sucks on the 19th) I could see us getting NBC Saturday Night. We should know October 7th.

Or maybe we get Big Noon and the coverage that comes with it? I don't think they'll go to UGA/Texas or Bama/Tenn. The only Big 12 game I see getting Big Noon that day is UCF/Iowa St.

nutty to me they wait as long as they do. But... the paid attendance isn't their priority. 

Thank you
