I am all for a little back and forth from fan bases before a game, but to bring in members of a players family, especially that type of subject, that is not cool. Keep it to the teams, coaches, and players on the field.

I didn’t fully realize it before following the Derik Queen recruitment, but for shear unadulterated tackiness Maryland has the worst fanbase in the B1G. I think they’re offended that the traditional fanbases still think of them as a quasi-ACC school and they’re just petulant as hell.

[Stuhoo 80,102]

I never want to judge an opposition fan base by their worst people on social media. 

Except for Taliban State University.  I hate that fanbase.

“If you need to study, that can wait too.”

Good lord that’s great stuff.

Cig is 100% “the guy” IUFB has desperately needed, especially in this era of the B10. Dolson needs to make sure CCC doesn’t leave Bloomington (aside from crootin’) until his coaching career is over … and that’s only if he chooses to retire elsewhere in the country. Keep that man around the program as long as he is willing and able… program builder, culture setter. Winner. And I’ll still feel that way even if tomorrow doesn’t go our way. But, I have confidence we will win… did any of us ever feel that way against a B10 opponent the past two seasons? I hope more of the students support the team through 4 quarters starting tomorrow… the staff and team are working to earn their support every week. Hoosier fans, who can, should try, to show up for them. If we don’t, we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves when they leave and we wonder what could have been… That’s a scary thought, given the direction of travel in college $port$. I don’t care for the crowd shaming on Twitter because I get that sort of culture change doesn’t happen overnight. But this email certainly shows it’s important for the program and priority for Cig.

Hope it backfires bigly!

Looks like solid rain from start to finish tomorrow, hopefully that forecast changes!

Time to get to 5-0 and ranked!

I'm bringing my SCUBA gear to the game.

Hope that the Hoosiers make the biggest splash Saturday.

Got a ticket from the State Cop on I-70 tonight.  Darn duck cracked my windshield and got stuck in the wiper.  Stopped and so did the Cop.  It was ok until I flipped him the bird.

I’ll be there. No tailgating due to wind, but I’ll have some Gameday lagers and check out the Big Ten Tailgate.

I got the waders ready if I need them.

At 6:30 AM Saturday, just looked at the future radar for today's game.  Starting at about 11 AM it shows the edge of rain may start to move from just northwest of B'town towards the southeast.  But still raining at noon and one.   Move the edge another 50 miles just may make the game less wet.  Looks like turtle soup to me.

This team will give it's all.  Coach Cig and the other coaches will take advantage of what is given and what we have. No mistakes today would help.

A win will be superb.  Make it so.

I’ll be rawdoggin’ this trip to Bloomington today. (Showing up right at/after kickoff, sold my parking pass earlier this week so probably parking in Ellettsville, and may or may not bring rain gear)

Hoosier’n.

So IU is finally becoming a football school. Ive been wearing the pictured shirt around Lyon, France all day. 
 

Ive had two different people comment about how IU is looking really good this year. 
 

Ive had people stop me and talk basketball before, but today was the first time for football.

Typical Indiana weather.  Not a wash out but wet field and on off rain and at game time or shortly after game start time maybe no rain at all.

I set over and under for Maryland turn overs/IU takeaways at 2.  Not going to set any for IU.

Hopefully you are a little light on Maryland's turnovers.
