Northern Kentucky is basically the Midwest, at least in the Louisville Indiana border area.

You should call up Kalen DeBoer and communicate this.

Didn't IU lose their best defensive player in their championship game? What will come of that.


Daley was a key contributor but not there best defensive by any means.

Indiana's best defensive players are:

LB Aiden Fisher All Big 10 and 2nd Team All American

DL Tyrique Tucker All Big 10 and 3rd Team All American

CBs Louis Moore and D'Angelo Ponds - Both All Big 10 and 2nd team All Americans

Tom Osborne is probably not a good comp.

His team finished ranked every year he coached with Top 10 ranking 18 of the 25 years he was the head guy. His first 4 teams finished in the Top 10 and won the Cotton and Sugar Bowls.

He won the Big 8 13 times.

He had that one lean three year stretch in the late 80s but otherwise was in the national title talk pretty much every year he coached.

His culture was working immediately and rarely slowed down.

Indiana has played three of the top 10 talent composite teams in the country this year and is 3-0 so people should retire this line.

Michigan is the 11th ranked talent composite

Texas is 4

LSU is 6 and Clemson is 7.

Star rankings mean so much less in the transfer portal NIL world. .

Huh?


Indiana was 8th in the country in total yards per game and third in the country in points scored averaging 42 per game.

It's offense was pretty lethal all year long.

What did Manziel do in 2012 that undermined his case for the Heisman?



The early signs of him being a self-destructive douche were there, but his antics were being managed by the coaching staff.

There was his shirtless mugshot after getting arrested pre-season.



And the Scooby Doo Halloween drunk thing was a few days before the Mississipi State game that he, per Kliff Kingsbury, showed up to extremely hungover and smelling like booze.

But it all was swallowed up by his remarkable on the field performance .

and they still have an absurd roster advantage.


People want to cite this, but it is not a very good point.

IU has played the 3rd and 5th best talent composite teams already. It physically whipped Oregon and went toe to toe with Ohio State with no issue.

Really disappointed me. I really thought a lot of him until this behavior. I had noticed his brother was a dick, but just thought it was siblingissue. I was wrong...and he definitely has embarrassed Vandy Football Program.


Brothers

Javier and Roel Pavia both got locked up for resisting arrest and public intoxication.

And yes signs were everywhere that the dude was a weapons grade dumb@ss pre Vandy.

You knew this would be his camp's next move.

1. Claim mental health and/or substance abuse problem
2. Apologize publicly in some scripted sit down interview
3. Go to rehab/get treatment for whatever he's claiming
4. Come back tour begins


Don't forget finding God, usually in the form of Reverend T.D. Jakes.

Love the fat old dude with binoculars.

He looks like he is whale watching.
We should learn to ignore this Buckeye's fishing post.

It is basically a dude walking into a room full of folks, cutting an especially loud and noxious fart, strutting back out, and then watching as everyone complains loudly.
IF NIL pay has done one thing, it is to ease the sting of losing your talented starters to the portal.

I am sure the ASU staff is shedding a tear on Sam Leavitt leaving but generally twitching with excitement at the prospect of redeploying those NIL dollar.
Like . . .more parity. The Vandys and Ga Techs and Indianas of the world being in the mix makes it all more fun.

The dislike . . . The NIL angle turning a lot of potentially productive players into lazy, campus hopping, and often unproductive roster garbage.

Well, at least those in the Midwest know there are 2 genders and have a clue as to which one they are.

F* the E/W coast. Talk about weird and getting weirder by the day.


I am with you on this one. It is odd to see someone claiming folks from Iowa or Ohio are weird compared to folks from the Bay Area or New Jersey.

Not taking anything away from his great play all year. It was just the first time that I had ever heard him speak and it was kind of disturbing.


He has been doing national interviews all year and is pretty humorous and articulate. Pat McAfee, Urban Meyer, and a bunch of others cant get enough of the guy.

He seemed pretty normal on the McAfee show today.

I am a bit jaded on the leader of men angle as my fanbase spent every day trying to rationalize the rather obvious bi-polar crackhead antics of Johnny Manziel because he did a lot of loud dude stuff in the media.

Nerd or not . . .guy got stuff done this year so something is working.

Ohio State beat the 7th best SEC team by one score.

I think Bama takes the Sooners. The stat line was so lopsided in the first meeting with the Tide having twice the yards and OU needing three turnovers to eke out the win.
quote:

FWIW, Indiana was 9th in the B1G and 32nd overall in this recruiting class. Not horrendous but also not the foundation for numerous championship runs.


Right . . he seemed to have hit it out of the park with the portal.

Mendoza, Roman Hemby, Pat Coogan, Riley Noakowski, Kalil Benson, and Dean Boykin are all high performing starters that transferred in during the 2025 cycle. It is hard to repeat that.

He will have them in the Top 25 for some time but title runs like this seem unlikely.

I’ll admit I have Truth Detection Syndrome which makes it difficult to tolerate trump and his cabal and what they’re doing to the minds of gullible Americans. You’ll look back someday and wonder how you got mind swindled into this crap or continue to go crazy, who cares.


We have a rich old dude sub-leasing an office down the hall from me just to get out of the house. He always has OAN going on his office tv and without fail every day peaks his head in to my office with an outraged face and repeats nearly verbatim some talking point put out by Trump and his team.

It is weird to see how the propaganda gets amplified so quickly by gullible old boomers.

I used to try to engage with him on his comments but now I just nod my head to get him out of the way.
