  1. Agreed…While I don’t think Cousins is one of those qbs that will carry you over the top…he is much much better than Fields or Wilson. He has some weapons there so I expect much better play in Atlanta.
  2. I thought they might have to cut him…but day 3 pick is what I expected. Man Pittsburgh camp will be interesting…Wilson vs Fields.
  3. Their style of basketball lends itself to being inconsistent. Defensive identity lends itself to having a consistent team…something to hang your hat on when the shots don’t drop for stretches. Most of the time they don’t even care about that end of the floor it’s how fast can we get back to the other end so we can get a shot up. When it’s rolling of course they are great but on nights and stretches when it isn’t there…and better defensive teams limit out run outs etc…it’s bad.
  4. Nothing about IU basketball is relevant. Not the players, not the coach, not the writers, and certainly not the fans who have nothing to cheer about. Thank you IU administration you accomplished your goal. You lost control at the end of the Knight regime and became so determined that you would never let athletics ever be more relevant then your academics again and you’ve done that ever since. Now your flagship sports program is completely irrelevant just like your academic university which is just like every other school in the country pushing out a homogenized education that is rich in cost and poor in quality.
  5. He was getting embarrassed because that game was about basketball philosophy and contrast in styles…and his got exposed for how antiquated it truely is. He’s a dinosaur and the mammals just ran roughshod all over his team…his ego couldn’t handle it. Look at the nba…Nebraska team looks more like the nba than ours….i know he will be back…and I have no excitement to watch this team…
  6. Am I bad that I want Reneau to foul out so we can go smaller?? Cause Woody will never take him out. Sucks they would get free throws though.
  7. When Leal has the ball anywhere inside the 3 pt line he just isn’t good. Great entry passer and good spot up shooter…plays hard but he has nothing going to hoop or trying to finish.
  8. We are so weak with the ball.
  9. Such an ugly game…but be nice to pull out a win against a team we should beat.
  10. Playing through Penn St defense when it is set up is brutal…especially with no Galloway to break down his man…up tempo is how I would prefer to play.
  11. Yep didn’t learn from the Julio Jones mistake.
  12. I’d say we are incredibly lucky that football has its own category and not just in the all other sports forum….i mean we are the worst program in D1…most losses in history…not much worth discussing…we all hope it changes but no one should be holding their breath. Most likely outcome….
  13. Obviously not a gm and I’ll be the first to admit if I see this wrong but I see this as basically 50/50 he gets traded for a couple 3picks with maybe a chance it turns into a day 2 if he gets his 5th year picked up or he gets released alright. His value in my eyes is basically Trey Lance…in fact Trey Lance may still be a better prospect than Justin Fields and it showing in how little interest there is in him.
  14. We needed more depth on the DL so it’s a good thing…opens up the draft to bpa.
  15. Big pass there…guy is hurt every year. He might be a better down field threat than Pierce at least was before this latest injury but I’m not interested in investing on his comeback season. Agree we need weapons but this draft is so deep at wr I think we can do better.
  16. Gotta have someone to hold down the fort when Stewart gets popped for PEDs again.
  17. Draft night the picks will be worth more than ever…no the longer you wait the less valuable he becomes…teams know they have you over a barrel. Bears f’d this up by not getting a deal done right after the playoffs when more teams have needs. Right now teams are falling in love with all the potential in the draft…no one wants to give that up for a qb who has huge question marks and will get very expensive very fast. Should have identified a suiter and made the deal awhile ago. I promise the longer they wait the less they get. Take what you can get…sunk cost now. Use it to put weapons around Williams. I don’t see a clear landing spot. Denver has to pay for the Wilson debacle and will need to go rookie to afford a qb and have a long rebuild setup. Seattle I think is a good fit as any if they are willing to move off Geno but that might hurt the locker room. Oakland?? Seems they might take a rookie and let them sit behind Minshew. Giants have too much money wrapped up in Jones. There really isn’t a landing spot that a team will give up a ton to get him. It will be something similar to the Trey Lance trade like in Dallas. Also if he isn’t worth more or a better option than Russell Wilson…wow then he isn’t worth much…I don’t believe a 2nd was on the table. Bears should have taken it and run…nope don’t buy it. Lots of stories out there but little truth to most.
  18. Nice for Baker. He may not be a top 10 qb but he got done dirty by Cleveland and good to see him land in a spot he is wanted and get a nice contract….feel so bad for the Browns since Baker has clearly outplayed Watson since the trade…oh wait..no I don’t. Poorly run organizations will find ways to screw it up.
  19. Yeah too soon. One more season and it will be safe.
  20. Why not trade for Higgins and use the cap space to sign him long term. Imagine Williams red zone targets with Kmet, Higgins, and DJ Moore…perfect compliment there. I don’t think you need to draft a wr early. Take your lineman at 9…use draft capital later for trading for Higgins.
  21. What’s giving him away? I doubt they get more than a 3rd rounder for him. Thinking a conditional 3rd at best. Maybe a 4th and 6th. Seattle would likely be a logical fit. Denver doesn’t have anything to offer. Oakland just signed Minshew. Minnesota needs a qb but you won’t trade in division. Top 3 teams likely taking qbs. Not sure why you didn’t trade him at trade deadline or something. There were a ton of teams with injured qbs that could have offered more at the time probably.
  22. Hard to care about IU football until they do something worth caring about. I’ll be interested in seeing how the new coach gets them to perform but I’ve heard lots of promises and platitudes before from football and new basketball coaches alike at IU. I’m going to have to see some evidence first before I get worked up about IU football.
  23. Yep the heart they play with…leaving it all on the line.
  24. All you want to do is be a Humanitarian and give a way money to needy people and they won’t even return your emails…smh….what’s this world coming to.
