ok, I need 1 of the actual football guys around here to explain Ewers to me. My untrained eye sees a very solid guy who doesn’t make special plays. What am I missing?

I'm all for players getting paid but there does have to be some structure. This is blatant tampering. I know it's been going on for a long time but this gives the appearance that they don't even care about hiding it anymore.

Interesting shuffle at Indiana schools. 

Ball State fires head coach. Ball State hires Butler head coach. Butler hires Ball State assistant to be HC. 

And who was that BSU assistant? Kevin Lynch -- son of former IU head coach Bill Lynch. 

Bill Lynch was the Mike Davis of IU football: the interim who was a decent, good, nice man -- but not the head coach of a major college program.

Moore was supposed to be a GUY, right? Would they be punting on him already?

Pretty sure he was a 100 on 247 coming out lol, but he'll be a junior next year. So Lanning has to make the choice between an uber talent that hasn't really played, or a known commodity. If he goes the old guy route again, I'm not sure how they'll ever sign a big name QB out of HS.

Kinda crazy how in the span of about 10 years a scout/coach has gone from somebody who needs to analyze and predict future potential to somebody who needs to gauge fit with the team. At least at programs that can spend money. 
 

I wonder if that’s going to create almost two different groups of scouts/coach. You spend years evaluating one thing it’s not going to be easy to just transitioning over 

Belichick forced UNC to hire him two entire staffs. A football staff and a scouting/portal staff. And schools have been moving that way since the portal was introduced. It is WAY too much work for even the hardest grinders in recruiting. Not mention retention and development of your own team.

As we have discussed I’d bet next year the conference winners will still automatically get in, such as AZ State this year, but they will be seeded by playoff ranking rather than receiving preferential treatment.

If that format had been in place this year IU would have opened by hosting Boise State in Bloomington. The place would have been nuts.

What's that dark blue fabric between his elbows and his wrists?

Wow, the whining from the fans over something so inconsequential.

Lol right. Us having a hype video before we come out is going to change the game, but the actual logistics of their guys having a home game don't matter at all.

Marshall withdraws from the Independence Bowl against Army. Today may be Army’s last game of the year, which is a real shame. Fun team.

Invade some random bowl game and take over as an opponent. It'd be like their Monday-Friday regimen.

Wow that’s pretty crappy.  I get they have lost most of their team but really not cool to the other team

Louisiana Tech takes their spot. Have fun with that, Bulldogs.

Nah I get it. Mostly on the Former HC for dipping out  Think teams should start including penalty clauses if the coach leaves prior to a bowl game.

Really it’s on Marshall. His contract was expiring and they chose not to extend him. Which is kind of wild considering they won the Sun Belt, but I don’t know the details. Either way, tough to blame Huff here.

Maybe we can pick Huff’s brain on how to win @Notre Dame
