Looks like he can play some D, also.

Our defense was very good.  We shut down their RB as he got 84 on 23 for 3.7.

Except for the pick 6 our offense was better than theirs which isn't saying much.  Their QB not much.

Schwarber is rakin'...

Yeah and the Cubs got absolutely nothing for him!   Waived him.

Opponent's QB has to be very patient against Iowa defense.  Their DB's sit back and wait for even the littlest mistake and pounce.  They have lots of interceptions.

PSU lost Clifford and two defensive starters in the game.  Will have to see what happens with them.

The East is stacked.  It's very possible that a two or three way tie could happen with teams having 2 losses.

Besides it's a hypothetical.

Interesting scenario with Iowa beating PSU.  Say the Hoosiers win out on the season and tie with OSU for the East title.  Do we get the title shot no matter what because B1G screwed us last year and changed the rules in the middle of the season?

If our next game is interrupted by frogs falling from the sky, we’ll know that IU football truly is forsaken by God and that it’s time to officially give up. 

Good thing we're not playing TCU!

That we can't run with good running backs says something about the OL, but we've played v. 3 very good defensive teams.  But Penix was able to overcome that last year by throwing quickly,  He hasn't been able to do so effectively this year.

The comment about wasting a season on a great defense was accurate.

Now for the easy part of our schedule:  3 of next 4 are #7, #9, and #11!

Still I think there is hope for this team.  Fortunately I think CTA is one of the few coaches who can keep this team together.

Now I know why you seem so screwed up.

This guy fits in perfectly with what we need from the 1-under position.  That he can take the dump and dunk it is really important in this system.

What a horrible start for the Reds.  Down 3-0 to the Pirates in the 3rd.  Once again they can't hit a LH starter.  Bell keeps putting all RH hitters in the lineup which means your 5-7 hitters tonight all are hitting under .200(Suarez, Aquino, Deshields.

The good news is it's the Pirates.

His info on Brad was right. He and many others inside the athletic department thought Brad was coming. His info is very well sourced. 

Perhaps he was right, but the Celts made a counteroffer -- i.e., President of the team -- that was too lucrative to turn down.

Even taking away the high ranking, he fits CMW's system perfectly:  big guy allowed to lead the break; switching defense; willing defender; offensive freedom of 1 in and 4 out, etc.

A very unusual high scoring game that was dominated by special teams.

We had a nice running game, but I'm still unsure of Penix and the offense.  I'm not saying they don't have it but just that they really haven't proved it on the field this year, yet.  They'll get their chance next week v. Cincy.

Huge pet peeve.  I live in Indiana.  I shop in Indiana. Last night, I am at a Meijer in Indiana.  Indiana is a basketball state.

But, does the stack of Athlon preseason  magazines on the shelf at said Meijer have a single magazine with an Indiana-themed cover?

No!

They all got f#@#$ing Kentucky and Louisville covers.  Bulls#*t.  

Rant over.

There's just no justice in the world any more!

Vanquish the Vandals!

Vaporize the Vandals!

That is ridiculous

What's ridiculous? The Giants having brought in their 6th pitcher in 4.2 innings or IUFLA's reference to the "sacks drunk with Dodgers"?  Or both?

I missed the game.  Labor Day week-end is my annual fishing party.  I was at the lake all day.  Checked out the score as I had a lure in the water.  Going to hit the water again today and pretend the Iowa game never happened.

Ignorance is bliss!

I think he's ideal for CMW's offense.  Wonder how he is on defense.

Honest to goodness truth.  My wife went in there once and bought a 'I Love Butt Drugs' magnet and it is on our fridge at home.  

"Ignorance is bliss"  So I choose to remain ignorant on this topic.

So I ask again why is UL allowed to still be playing basketball?

Hey, it’s been awhile since I’ve checked in. I had an extended bout with Covid, but I’m on the upswing now. Hopeful for some good news tomorrow! This kid is a player, and will make an excellent addition to the program. 
 

P.S. - You’d think that with the NCAA allowing kids to get paid now, the NBA minor league won’t be as prevalent. Unless of course the kids just struggle academically. 

Glad to have you back!
