FYI.  Imo, better.

Hoping they have better helmet decals that actually stay on the helmets.

[Pagoda]

Cool.  I thought with all the alumni demand such a move would be unlikely… but I guess not.  Should be good for the atmosphere at Memorial…

All the program needed was the admin to take FB seriously along with a winning coach.  If you build a winner, they will come.

Unless they've quietly blocked off a chunk for this during the renewal/selection period, I'm really curious where those ~5,000 seats will be.

Yea.  If I had to guess it may be across the top of the north side of the west stand.  Tbd.

I’m not quite sure what student tickets cost — $20-30 per game I think.  I’m surprised IU didn’t sell these at 2x+ the price to alumns.  I thought there was a waiting list for season tickets.

IU AD is always a bit of a mystery to me.  But, I am in favor of students getting some priority… you only get four years and big games are fun.

NW and SE (above me, now) are what I was thinking too. I seem to kind of remember the top of the SE section being unavailable last time I saw a live seat map. Some student section seats used to be over there.

But also a week from today they're dropping mini-season packages. I have no clue where all these seats are coming from.

I’ve got a sneaking hunch that Ryland Gandy is going to start at CB.

Another quality ep.

Anybody know where I can get the shirt Amare is wearing to start this video 

[Pagoda]

TE is sort of a TBD position for us as we know.

For a redshirt freshman coming back from injury, Brock looks ready…

 

[Pagoda]

Bad news.  Burruss arrested for domestic battery charges.  Of course the legal process play out, but this is obviously not good.  If there is any truth here, he’s done at IU.

It’s been some time since we had a player issue like this.  Bummer.

Strangulation? Yikes. That's a big nope.

Cig has done a great job avoiding these issues, but with such large rosters, they're bound to pop up from time to time. Can't imagine he will be at IU very long. Not too worried about depth without him. 

[Stuhoo]

We'll be just fine: https://www.insidethehall.com/2026/07/18/iu-football-2026-preseason-position-previews-defensive-ends/

Adios Burrus. The single top rated recruit in our freshman class, Kevontay Hugan, may now get a chance to see the field in his freshman year.

Well, is there a possible 5th year guy that would be able to come in?

I’ve heard worse reasons to bring back Daley

Stephen Daley will be spending this year rehabbing. He had a really major leg injury.

Even if he wasn’t ready till December-January would be a great depth piece for post season push

That was early to mid December, and being able to practice in early September would be a win.  If he was able to come back, he would probably just get spot playing time in October for the hard part of the schedule till he gets confidence in that knee.  That might be the best case scenario. 

[RoderickJaynes]

They might have the most depth at edge of any of their position groups. They’ll be fine without adding anyone. The two Kansas St kids and then Burnham / Ndukwe are going to get the vast majority of the snaps 

[Stuhoo]

Daley played in ten D1 games his freshman year. Will they give players like Sam Alexis and him a 5th year? Who the heck knows.

Daley had a torn patellar tendon in January. that seems to be a 6-12 month recovery, so it's entirely possible that he could be ready to play football by October/November.
