2024 IUFB Season

[Lebowski 2,331]

I'm still kind of surprised no one is really talking about our defense. All the media is focused on the offense and honestly, I hope it stays this way.

Discussion will catch up if they keep looking like they did Saturday. Up until Nebraska, it was about the only thing about this team that wasn’t seemingly flawless, but Saturday should be terrifying for anyone left on the schedule.

Definitely should be talked about more

MSU game put into the 6-day window. It’ll be a noon or 3:30 kickoff next weekend.

I do not care how this is calculated. It’s too funny not to just sort of bask in.

What’s the record for most sold out games in a season for IU football?

It was a top 10 D in the country prior to Nebraska. 

Up to 7 now. Rushing D top 4.

Media, please keep focusing on the shiny ball called the offense.

Some amusing twitter discourse today RE: who would win - Notre Dame/ND at full strength vs. IU... 

Notre Dame fans are delusional. Such an inflated ego and view of themselves/their team lol.

ND fans infest every corner of NJ, so it gives me great satisfaction knowing this team would smack them if they played. 

Too bad it likely won't happen since there is little chance ND makes the playoff IMO. Would love playing them there, though.  

[Hovadipo 54,355]

This leads me to believe it’ll be Cuban. Mellencamp would be lame, Schwarber would be alright, I kinda hoped/assumed it would be Buck.

ND football fans, the entitled people on the planet.

Please not Mellencamp. He was honored last week. I would like Schwarber. I think he’d be awesome. I’m sure they want Cuban though if Cubes would do it.

I’m a Mellencamp fan but he was terrible on Fox game day last weekend.

I would love to see TJD.

The game day mosh pit will be full of IU juniors, seniors, grad students that were at IU when TJD played.He will fire them up.

Cool to have a NBA player

He is a HUGE IU supporter.

He is very good/polished on camera.

What a GREAT story line that his brother will be the starting QB.

Love Mellencamp, Dipo, King, Thompson, Schwarber, Cuban, Buck etc but give me TJD.

Wonder what IU would be ranked if we had lost a home game against Northern Illinois like the Irish did.

No problem for ND but IU would be relegated to the “others getting votes” group.

[Hovadipo 54,355]

I’m kind of in the “not a basketball guy” camp, BUT Dipo would get that crowd going bananas and ESPN just hired him to do studio work. TJD would be fun too but I think I saw the Warriors schedule this weekend makes it borderline impossible.

It may be common but I don't remember an injured player status being "out indefinitely"? Is this common? Are they just being mysterious so MSU doesn't know who to prepare for? Cig says he just sat him as a precaution, I'm surprised at this very dire sounding injury status!

Dan Dakich would love it to be Dan Dakich

So I've been trying to figure out why IU announced Rourke to be out 6 days before the game. Wouldn't it have been beneficial to let UW wonder who was going to be under center rather than giving them 6 days to prep for TJ? Just don't get the upside.

Because we'll give them our playbook and then dare them to stop us. We're just that good!

Perfect choice for Gameday guest picker would be probably the greatest football player in IU history: ARE. 

He's an engaging personality -- perfect for Gameday. But the Lions have a game Sunday, so that might make it tough. 

My guess is it'll be Cuban. 

[tyappleg 2,924]

Jonathan Banks would be my choice, but they'll go with Cuban.
