Jones as the top LB in the B1G and the 2nd ranked in the country? It is amazing how much different the talking heads are giving respect to IU after winning the Natty.  It feels good to be respected.

It sure does.  Perfect proof of a winning culture.  The buy-in and trust from players is such a big factor in the process too.

What’s weird though is it’s only to a point.  Notre Dame and Texas still get ranked ahead of us for “vibes”

Hoover used to be a stud but now he’s a giant question mark where as Julian Sayin the ultimate game manager is assuredly a stud and arch Manning is clearly the same Arch Manning he was against Michigan because last years Michigan is the gold standard.

Was speaking with someone at the race this weekend who went to some spring practices and would know what he’s watching. Among other things that many on here and in the fanbase are aware of, he hit me with a take that Turbo is every bit as good as Hemby/Black with potential to be more dynamic. That room is going to be a load and none of them are one year guys unless someone(s) goes to the draft.

I just cannot imagine, with the extraordinary defense we're bringing back, how it will feel to be down three or four touchdowns to us in the third quarter when we bring in our current third string running back, the guy that was even in competition for playing time last year with Kaelon; Lee Beebe Jr.

Three legit starter-level B1G running backs will certainly come in handy when one of them inevitably gets banged up or worse also. The situational versatility each of those three bring along with just being able to give it to the hottest hand on any given weekend is pretty incredible.

Quite the outlier at #1.

Hey @eddy4iu any idea if there will be a season ticket holder single game ticket sale like last year? Seems unlikely with the demand they saw, but I believe it happened in early June.
