….loved watching ol’ # 32. It sure is sad that he has passed…

I was about the same age my son os now.  He's been to a few Hoosier Hysteria's and we went to watch several of the women's teams games on their NIT run but i think this will be his 1st Men's game. 

I'll be there for this one. First time sitting in the balcony since Eric Anderson's freshman year. 😳

How does a team lose to California Baptist?

 

On a Hail Mary?? 🤷‍♂️

What happened with the techs??

BTN doesnt know what pays the bills. Its not womens sports.

Really, i bet this is the most watched volleyball game EVER on B10. 😏

Wasnt a huge fan of that line-up.  Before Scoop got back in there. 

Scoop has a REALLY smooth mid range jumper. Kinda reminds me of Rip Hamilton. 

Our freakin game isnt gun start until 10 if the refs dont stop blowing the whistle! 🤦‍♂️

Kinda think we shoulda wore the brown pants today. 🤷‍♂️

I think earlier in this thread someone said Farrakhan was a highly rated recruit earlier in his high school career, but ended up in the 300 range by the time he was a senior...

But let's not get carried away...as XJ pointed out in the post game, he was 5-21 "he had to make one" I think was the comment...

And a couple of those were circus shots..

I thought the McBride kid spurred the comeback early...

Thats fair. Farah Faucet is just what stood out during the game, im sure because of the circus shots.

Aside from Rob and Jordan, im just happy Race and TJD took a couple outside shots. I know they didnt fall for the most part, but you have to take 'em before you make 'em.  Im not saying i want those 2 jacking up jumpshots all game, but if we can get several game tapes of them hitting a couple its going to give teams somethibg else to think about.

On a different note, from those that know more than i do, what makes that Shakakhan kid (for example) a mid-major and "pick an IU guard from the last 6 years" a high major?  We constantly get torched by kids that come in and give zero f's what the names on the jerseys are. Do those kids just out kick their coverage for 1 game against us or should we look at getting a couple sometime?

I know there are a lot of mistakes to clean up and we aren't exactly playing a powerhouse, but at least the guys dont look like they are getting ready to get a colonoscopy while they're on the floor.

I'm planning to get hammered and then do lots of posting in the game thread. 

So just a normal tuesday then? 🤔🤣

So do you appreciate the playing time or are you a little pissed that you're the sacrificial lamb so the guy in front of you doesnt get beheaded? 🤔🤷‍♂️

I was listening to Cowherd yesterday and his guest(I have no idea who it was) said he never saw Rattler as a "franchise QB" at the next level.  Said Spencer reminded him of Jeff Garcia.

 

There are a lot worse comparisons that could be made. He was a slightly above average qb but his greatest acomplishment was somehow getting one of the hottest women on the planet to marry him.

Tom Allen should be fined every time he doesn't kick a field goal. Down 14-0, 3 points in that spot would have been a boost to both the O and D. We better find a QB quickly, we don't have one.

I thought Tuttle looked pretty good other than the Henry Roengardner-esque floater that got picked. The offense moved a lot better too.

They were there, Penix wasn't hitting them

I didnt see any of the play action, quick hitting pass plays Tuttle ran....especially on 1st down. 

Ok, hate to pile on, and i know its not all the OC's fault.....but WHERE THE HELL WERE THOSE PLAYS before Penix got hurt?!?!

No helmet to helmet contact there???

Is Penix related to this guy?  There didn't seem to be anything excessive there.

Some of you will blame that series on the play calling lol

It wasn't innovative enough. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really tho, if you think about it....it was. If Sheridan doesnt call pass plays there, our line cant perfectly demonstrate the "matador" pass protection. If he calls a run play instead, they get to show off the "swing n a miss" run blocking.

Does everyone have 'Indiana' spelled right on their jersey tonight?  

Hey, Indiana is 0-0. Indinia is 0-1.

I guess only scoring 7 is surprising.  

Ya, that was more what was eye opening. I know washington is rebuilding and was an Idaho for GS, but with what I saw them do that game I didnt think the offense would struggle.
