Ah hell, it’s 12:30. Time for the first beer! I’ll choke down some Hoosier Gameday Lagers just to support the team.

IU still -7

How’s the weather in Pasadena?

Looks like 60s and high 50s during the game, no rain from what I can see!

Sounds like the heavy stuff is moving out, but there might still be occasional rain showers

6th game since 2024 where a lot of them have fallen flat. Arizona State last year lost in 2OT in an almost miraculous comeback, but the other ones didn’t look good.

Jared Kelly reports Franke is now ruled out for the game.

Bad news good news on the injury front:

B Franke is out.

Bama TE Cuevas, a key guy in their offense, is all of the sudden a game-time decision.

Was he expected to play before and got hurt or was he hurt and I missed that

If you are talking about Cuevas, he apparently broke his boot (according to him) in the middle of the season. He was expected to play this game after coming back against Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago, so I have no idea what happened.

Yup—it’s a new development today, and it matters. He played and played well last week.

IU has never been #1 or had a Heisman. Might as well be the first team to win as a top 4 seed

Thanks that’s what I thought. Interesting development.
