They leave the day before the game? I just assumed it was a couple.

IU 45 Iowa 17

My biggest concern, we could be better than last year and still be 1-2. We have 8-9 games we could win or lose. Teams that regularly make the playoffs would not have a schedule like ours. As fans we have to hang tough and prepare for a potentially wild ride (season). Should be a lot of fun, but the schedule isn't doing us any favors. Win the first three and we're a top 10 team. Go 1-2 and we could still be a top 15-20 team, but will be a much tougher row to hoe.

Tre Roberson looking good for the Bears.

If you’re counting on a Mormon sports fan base, you’re in trouble.

We need to recruit nationally to compete for championships.

Let's not anoint him king until he wins something tangible. He's winning the intangibles now.

Big time get. Beat PU.

Let's just hope he doesn't do any radio/podcast announcement promos the day before then.

The emoticon is "fingers crossed".

I am always skeptical of these reports when you hear bs like this.

There's no way in hell IU is telling him he will start. No way.

This might be more of an indictment of the rankings than development. We also don't really know the full extent of attitude and health of players. Obviously you want your highest rated recruits to pan out, but if they are overrated or they are under-scouted (taken because of the rating) you're going to see some flops/transfers especially when overall recruiting improves. But it is weird how IU's higher guys don't seem to live up to their rankings. But that might be why they end up at IU to begin with.

I'm mad as hell over here.

Everyone complains about guys being soft these days, but you're upset that they are ribbing a guy (who picked our arch rival) on Twitter? Come on now.

Yeah, who cares if players talk smack, that's what I want my teams to do, show some moxy. Now when adults troll teenagers, that's a whole different deal. Like I can't believe adults ever troll kids online, like what losers. For example, some PU dude (ILLBoiler I do believe?) was trolling K. Lander about how he sucks and how dumb it was that he was trying to get sponsorship deals. What a total dork.

If he ends up at PU, so be it. We’ve been kicking their ass on and off the field the last few years, so it’s hard to complain about losing a couple of recruiting battles. At the end off of the day, it’s about the results on the field.

12pm ET tomorrow

My siblings were there at that time.

I went to North Side. Although South Side are our "arch rivals" (pun intended), our biggest games in almost all sports were against Snider and Dwenger. Primarily because of proximity and having friends/people you knew who went to those schools. Concordia too, but their football team was never great. Northrop was a bit inconsistent and not very close (relative). It's much different these days because of the changing demographics and being able to choose (basically) where you want to go to school. North Side has really been impacted in a negative way by people moving away from the older neighborhoods.

I think, "F" Snider. When I was in school, they were our biggest rivals. Them and Dwenger.

Beat OSU, you have a chance. It's coming. That being said, the divisions need to be re-aligned. Why not just re-align them every 10 years or something?

I don't like it when kids leave the state and go to UNC or Duke.
