So apparently we tied Ball State.  Yes, tied.  The game went into extra innings and Ball State doesn’t have lights.  7-7 in the 12th.  Game called due to darkness.

My wish list for the Colts for this draft.

1) Be able to trade up to get one of the top 3 WR

Or

Draft TE Bowers or Mitchell CB from Toledo or Arnold CB from Alabama.

If none of those are available trade down and get Thomas WR from LSU

So that means the Colts will do none of the above, right? Lol.

Only two sports American's care about and PU whipped us in both.  Time to turn the tables

  

I don’t really care what other people think.  I’m a fan of my university.  All of it.  Do I wish we had better seasons in those two?  Of course.  But in the meantime, IU won 5 conference championships and the PUkes won 1.  That’s good enough for me.

😂😂😂 Lisa E off the top rope

IU has won 5 conference championships this year.  Not bad at all.

That’s 5 team championships for IU so far this year.

Well we won the series!

won game 3, 18-8.

Good start today.  Down 10-0 midway through game 1.  
Sorry…we won game 1, 7-1.  We lost game 2 13-2.

That's the one that's at 2nd and College (more or less) right?

Damn....that used to be the Kroger I'd go to.  I held on to the IU-themed Plus card I got from there for like 10 years after I graduated. 😂

Yep.  I used to go to that one also!

Don't go visit Seminary Park.  The kids call the Kroger that's right there Kroghetto.  

I think we're way off the OP!  Lol

TJ Power is a better fit for the current roster than Essegian is imo

Curious why you feel that way.  I know nothing about Power so this isn’t me arguing anything.

Aren’t we in the Battle for Atlantis?

Is it me or is the tackling already improved?

I like this offense though.  Ball gets out quick and it’s more creative than every other play being a back shoulder throw.

That second defense, or the cream, has some problems.

So it was ok to cancel the exhibit because of her ideology?   And here I have been led to believe canceling people was wrong. 

If roles were reversed, then I would wager the people defending her would be taking an opposite stance.

Between that and failing to support the Dr that was attacked by rokita, she deserved the vote of no confidence.  

Are you assuming the exhibit was canceled solely based on ideology?  The IDS article leads one to make that assumption but it’s fair to ask what else there is to that story.  Has anyone asked what was in the exhibit?  Has anyone asked what was in the social media posts that the person putting on the exhibit had posted?  I, for one, would like more context before I reach a full conclusion.  I’m not saying you’re wrong.  I just don’t think we have enough information.  Or at least I haven’t seen that information.

Lost at home to Evansville 5-4.

I see Matt Cross is back in the transfer portal.  Ages ago, he was actually an IU target.

Is Matt Carlino in the portal again?  Lol. Surely a bunch of you remember that guy!  Felt like he was all over the place!

Cook’s and Simon’s are my best guess. 

I meant which school since he hasn’t committed yet, but I would concur on that side of things with that amount of money.

Ballo is going to get PAID $$$$$$$

So the question is who is going to pay him?  I know, I know.  We all want to know that…

Has some nice offers.  I like it!

It is fair, but we still just signed a damn good strong safety... and have 4 other safeties on the roster. Cross, Harrison, Thomas, Scott.. 

Nick Cross is still 22yrs old. 

IMO- I'd dump him playing SS, ever, he ONLY works FS this offseason.. 

Cross, Blackmon is a very dynamic pair of safeties.. but NC has to do his job (aka 1st play of the game against Hou).. and JB stay healthy. 

The talent is NOT an issue. 

-----

Lack of health/experience at corner was a bigger issue than "needing" to upgrade.. 

But... as you said, if they do go corner, no issue. 

Bowers, corner, WR.. I think there's a strong argument against Bowers, but I am NOT an NFL scout.. if dominating the way he did, truly translates (the 40 time was still on 4.55).. what do the Colts value there? 

With all dysfunction at TE-- No Woods, Ogletree debacle, some other injuries, Mallorys youth, and a backup QB, rookie HC.. 

is 900 yards and 6 TDs that bad out of that position? 

----- 

My #1 hope is... 

1. If you have identified multiple WRs you like.. if you need to stretch to get one, example--- if Nabers/Odunze drop to (lets say) #11... you go spend draft capital and get that guy.... again that's an example... 

2. If you think Thomas or whatever WR is surefire WR2.. take them at 15. 

That trumps Brock Bowers, imo. 

Not project guys. Regardless of upside, at 15.. if you trade back to 25 or whatever and pick Worthy, ok.. get good compensation for it.. 

Ultimately, I like the TE room more than I like what I've seen from WR2. But, I am not Reggie Wayne, I'm not in the room with Alec Pierce, Steichen. Idk if Jelani Woods is a waste, I know what his ceiling is, but does he have the qualities that can get him there? ... (examples).. idk  if they like Will Mallory as much as I do.. 🤷‍♂️

I like this post…a lot.  I’d love to be in the office and in the film room with these guys.  I’d like to know why they only signed Blackmon to a one year deal, but that could be on the player’s end.

I agree on Mallory but I’d love to know what the coaches think about how these guys fit in their system.  And we will never REALLY know the answers to those things.

I like your draft thoughts also.

You really trust a CB coming off an Achilles injury. Also Brent's missed a lot of time with I juries as well. I also feel we need another veteran WR to go with Pittman and Downs. Also want to draft a WR high in the draft.

I don’t think injuries like that are as detrimental as they used to be.  That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts used an early pick on another corner either.  But I like Brents a lot.  I don’t think a veteran WR is necessarily what is needed.  I’m lukewarm on Pierce.  Some like him more than I do.  I’d just like a guy who is more consistent there.
