Here is the PK foul

 

Well that sure looks like a terrible call.

0-0 10 minutes in

Brian Hartline has done a great job recruiting and developing WRs.  I wonder how he would be as an OC?

Isn't our starting center a Michigan transfer?

2/5 of the OL are transfers.  Powell came from Stanford in addition to Carpenter.

ND strength of record #4. I wish they would stop playing such a weak schedule.  

Curious where you see that.  I did a quick search and I saw a couple that had them in the teens and one as low as 26.  Outside of UC they haven’t played anyone who has consistently been in the top 25, though they play a lot of power 5 schools.    I don’t think their schedule is weak.  But top 4?

What I saw of Rattler was that he was a turnover machine...usually of the fumbling the ball variety.  When one is at a blueblood school there tends to be other highly regarded players behind you.  Lincoln decided to make the change.  Burrow left tOSU, Fields left UGA, etc. it happens all the time to even the great ones.

I agree with all of that.  I disagree w Scott if he doesn’t want Rattler.  I guess I’ve become more skeptical as I have hit my 50s.  If Rattler comes here then fantastic, but I’m not going to get too excited because of those turnovers you mentioned until I actually see him play well for us.

It’s interesting that this conversation turned right away to QBs.  I didn’t mention this yesterday but I also heard that QB would be one area where we would be looking to add.

Jalen Hurts got benched at 'Bama...

That really isn’t the point.  I would take Rattler for sure but just throwing out one name doesn’t invalidate concerns about why a guy got benched.

He would be the best experienced QB out there.  And leave it to you to not want a former Heisman hopeful.

I think he brings up a legitimate question.  Not only is Rattler no longer a Hesiman hopeful, he is no longer the future of that program.  He has been benched for a reason.  I think it’s reasonable to wonder why that is.  I certainly would still take him but Scott’s point isn’t incorrect.  He has absolutely struggled this year.

I've heard through the grapevine that IU will be very active in the portal...as in don't be surprised if it's in the upper teens in terms of number of new additions.  Obviously, I don't know if that is accurate or not.  Just what I've heard.  I have no sources inside the program.

Washington is up 2-0 w ten to play.  Looks like IU will be heading to Washington.

Going to be curious to see how we come out and play today after a big win.  And Louisiana has a lot of size.

IU is sweet 16 bound!

2-0 IU F

Did Washington win today?

Was this considered a re-building year for the soccer program?

No.  We had something like 9 starters back from last year.

Down 1-0 at halftime.  IU certainly had a few chances.

Any word on injured guys?  Mullen, Taylor?

Does Frost have a big class coming in? That's about the only way I could see this making any sense. 

Really don’t know but this looks very similar to what Harbaugh did last year.

You guys talk about PU too much so how about another team?

Frost staying at Nebraska 

IU is the 3 seed and we beat 6 seed Rutgers 1-0 today.  We play 7 seed Northwestern who upset Maryland on penalties.  The next game is on Wednesday.

4 seed Michigan beat 5 seed Wisconsin 2-1.  The 1 seed Penn State is playing 8 seed Michigan State right at 4:00 today.

How about we turn away from Turdue....

If I said, I think many of you are sleeping on MSU and they'll be better due to addition by subtraction.  You would say??

Apparently we made his top 5.

Are we recruiting anyone else for this class?

Time to flush this!  Lol

Lost 2-0

I only heard part of the conversation but was listening to the morning sports show that LaVar Arrington is on.  I think it was Friday’s show.  Anyway, the conversation was that the Big Ten is seriously considering getting rid of the football divisions altogether with the idea being to guarantee the two best teams are in the conference championship.  They were also talking about protected games and there might be two of those.  IU v PU is an example of a protected game.  Did anyone else hear the entire conversation or has anyone heard anything similar?  I’m wondering what I missed since I didn’t hear it all.
