At the end of the day, the portal and the general moving and shaking of the new CFB (and college sports in general) landscape has MUCH more upside for IU than downside. Look at some of these MFers we're getting in on defense!! I'm still excited.

I choose not to get invested in FB recruits until the first play of their first game. Life is stressful enough.

These are stellar.

I can get behind this testing regiment. her first pour was atrocious, though.

This is what happens when a once-in-100 years virus comes and was poorly handled - yes, life will change.

Yeah let's move away from RP, this is getting close to derailing the thread.

A game we lose in years before this one. IUBB is fun again. Not perfect but no complaints from this fan.

They look like a bottom 3 team. Still, these are games we choked away in years past. To start a game this poorly, with this many fixable mistakes, and still beat a team by 10-15 leaves me feeling just fine.

Welcome to the watering hole

How good is Nebraska supposed to be?

It is so nice to have conference basketball in December.

I love Rob but the difference between him and X is so stark when X comes back in. RP is a great backup 1

Moderator emeritus, we’ll allow it.

I've said a couple of times - this thread will work perfectly if everyone approaches it without any goal of convincing anyone else of anything. This is a large, de-centralized water cooler. Nothing more.

Shows how much I know about Christianity.

If someone truly thinks this pandemic is all a centrally planned plot, more power to them. They’re normally also the folks who think the government has done an awful job in response. Again, more power to them. to wit - if someone thinks the government is as stupid as that person believes it is, how are they smart enough people to pull off such a massive conspiracy like this?

Did you all know Iowa has two players who are brothers? I didn’t, but then thankfully the ESPN commentators reminded me every thirty seconds that I watched.

Love this thread. Happy thanksgiving all.

Much to be thankful for.

Nothing out of line here, but I'd like to steer us away from the current line of conversation - it's a slippery slope.

Wow, the mood here turned quickly. Some folks are mighty reactionary. Tom Allen has built up a LOOOOOOT of goodwill with this particular fan, and I imagine with the IU powers that be as well.

glad it got sorted!! not a problem to help, that's why we have this forum.

I watched the video and read the first few links - I don't see anything about the military hauling people off. I see police and military enforcing lockdowns, knocking on doors to ensure self-isolation rules are being followed (and issuing fines, it seems, if not..?) but nothing that substantiates the claim that the military is hauling people off. That may very well be the case, I don't know and I don't live in Australia, but nothing anyone has posted here comes close to convincing me. And again - you don't have to convince me! You're entitled to your own views.

It's the same video RTZ posted, I think..? There is some language in the video about the army helping and folks going to centers, but I don't see enough to justify the claims people are making about the army hauling folks away. To be clear - that might be happening, I have no idea, I just don't see nearly enough from that video to back up that claim. It's odd that we are so willing to trust a random twitter account and their interpretation of the news but not the "MSM" - look, you're allowed to think whatever you want, and post it here too, but I wouldn't be shocked when others don't buy in. And you don't have to buy-in to what I believe! What a wonderful country we have.

that's the same video as above..?
