They are so very different but both are winners. GC not flashy but gets the job done. Like Braden more athletic than people think. I hate saying comments like that because people put race into the equation and that's not my point. He just finds a way, like most freshman if he can defend he will get significant minutes. 4 years of Cupps and he will be a fan favorite. I will be shocked if not.

I did not become Colts fan until I went to IU. Grew up watching the Cowboys and Bengals and Jim Harbaugh made me a Colts fan

He may not get 10 a game but will be an impact player from day 1 IMO. There is a lot that goes into getting minutes as a freshman but he has the tools the rest is on him

They were replayed on Sundays as well. I grew up in a time when there was little to no NBA basketball on TV, I watched IU basketball, ND football, The Cowboys and the Reds. That was about it. I don't think I realized IU had a football team until I was in high school and deciding where I wanted to go to school

I was one of the biggest proponents for Braden Smith I really wanted him in an IU uniform. That did not happen but having seen he and Cupps play a bunch I think Cupps is on just another level than Braden and that is in no way a knock on Braden. Cupps is going to surprise many. Kid is a legit winner and big time play maker.

This is a must win road game at a place that we have struggled, well that the case with all Big road games but we need a win.

We can wear our matching reversible jackets, that all these young uns just don't understand

IUBB Notre Dame football Colts

Just some off the wall put downs almost think Tyrese must have hooked up with wife or something seemed out of character by Wally

I agree the roster is good enough to keep you in most games. Not good enough to blow anyone out. That's why there is no margin for error. The top teams can overcome the things that have the caused the Colts to have the record they do. This year the Vikings have won 10 1 score games, they are good in many offensive positions but the defense is why those games are close. The Colts lack studs at positions that you need to win consistently.

Wonder if Wally is rethinking his douche bag comments

Lot of adults could learn from tjis young man. To whom much is given much is required

IU 31 167

Here is that stat line 36p; 23r; 4a; 2s; 9b; 5t. 5 of his reb. were off the offensive board. 12-24 FG; 2-4 on 3s; 10-14 FT. Thru 5 games: 28.0 ppg; 12.4 rpg; 3.8 asst; 2.0 stl; 3.2 blks. 60% FG; 43% on 3s; 81% FT. 24 games in the '21-'22 season: 19.9 ppg; 9.2 rpg; 1.6 asst; 1.2 stl; 1.3 blk. 57% FG; 40% on 3s; 76% FT Kid is special and really likes some of the things In the IU program. Still very early but it's nice to be out in front before the Big Dogs come sniffing around Santa Claus

I hope this helps Race with a little more confidence. Such a likeable young man I just want him to succeed.

It was impressive. We do not watch soccer but about 4 years ago Ayden starting watching Messi with Barcelona and we went to University of Michigan just to watch them play. Pretty cool experience

IU 28 152

My early season pick to win it all is Houston. I have not had the opportunity to see UCONN play yet

That last 45 minutes was incredible. Ayden is a huge Messi fan so it was fun to have a rooting interest.

Of course not but neither one of them are on the court. I just see some of those same things that plagued the program under CAM I am most disappointed in the defense against good teams. I do believe this team can turn it around but I was fully bought in this team was FF caliber I am wavering on that at this time

We heard that for 4 years with CAM. I just do not see the same issues with some other programs that have plagued us for the majority of the last 20 years.

I agree but are we good enough to be a top 5 seed or playing in Dayton again? The road will not be easy and I am not convinced we win every home game. When do we start winning the games that we are not supposed to.

Big difference IMO because we have seen this movie for the past several years. I am just pulling for a different ending

Only to you and him. 2 of those guys showed how to ball out and one can't get open Pittman and Thielan made plays when he had to. Pittman is at best a number 2 on a good team. Just how it is, and I like the guy but don't let my blinders get in the way

Embarrassing, pathetic, laughing stock anything that I'm missing. Jefferson, osbourne, Thielan, Pittman rank those 4 with with your brain and eyes and not your heart and no matter how you cut it Pittman is 4. People think the Colts have playmakers. More convinced that you can win in this league with decent to GOOD QB with some big time playmakers. No one on that offense BESIDES JT shows any homerun ability. They base hit the hell out of you though
