Another Afghanistan is occurring....

Ukraine is staring at the abyss, the grim consequences of US overreach: Societal disintegration, economic ruin and the dissolution of it's government. It's not just governments that crumble; it's the lives of millions who, after investing their hopes in Western promises, are left to pick up the pieces of shattered societies. The Democrats hubris will have exacted a catastrophic toll, not only on the US credibility as a Global leader,

With all the talk about "SOS", I decided to take a look at the top BIG10 teams, who they played, and the winning margin. At the bottom is the total winning margin for the season. Thoughts?

OREGON OHIO STATE PENN STATE INDIANA

IDAHO +10 AKRON +46 WVU +22 FIU +24

BOISE +3 W MICH +56 BGU +7 W ILL +74

OR ST +35 MARSH +35 KENT +56 UCLA +29

UCLA +21 MSU +31 ILL +14 CHAR +38

MSU +21 IOWA +28 UCLA +16 MARY +14

OSU +1 OREG – 1 USC +3 NW +17

PUR +35 NEB +4 WISC +15 NEB +49

ILL +29 PSU +7 OSU -7 WASH +14

MICH +21 PUR +45 WASH +29 MSU +37

MARY +21 NW +24 PUR +39 MICH +5

WISC +3 vs IU @ MINN @ OSU

vs WASH vs MICH vs MARY vs PUR

(+200) (+275) (+194) (+301)

Covers a lot of ground including topics we've debated for years on here...

It’s gonna take a few more years. To fully build back up from Archie. Indiana has the right man for the job!

Just scored for Xavier. Good for him! He has to have three kids and a mortgage at this point.

Any word on if he has been able to get rid of the splint? It will be 5 weeks Saturday since the injury,still too soon?

Now it makes total sense. You can't argue with this logic.

Great troll

to finish first team all B1G?

Mgbako has come out hot, Rice has a outsiders chance. Ballo if he averages 13-10-2.5?

The preasure is all on the Buckeyes, hear me out. They already have one loss and can't afford another. They are currently scrambling to retool their O-line, they know their pass secondary is not their strength. The longer we stay in the game the higher the water rises for them.

We, on the other hand are truely playing with house money. I would love to Beat the Buckeye, hell I'd love to be B1G Champs too, but our goals are much broader than OSU. We are all ready going to be in a bowl game at worst, maybe even the CFP. , and a great opportunity to beat OSU in the Shoe. I was there in 87, I know how that feels. It would be wonderful. We are only going to be Cinderella once. I hope the shoe fits but if not we are still going to have a special season that we'll all remember.

And they're having their first restroom controversy (no surprise):

Now they are only an obstacle to bump one or two loss teams from the college football playoffs. The powers that they really have not thought this through. And it’s not rocket science.

Just say'n!

One suggestion, guys. There is a wide range of possible outcomes at the 'shoe this weekend and Saturday's game, for me, is the toughest pick since the UCLA game. I know there's a temptation, particularly this week, to go with "my heart says [Score A] but my head says [Score B]." Your call as to whether to go with your head or your heart, but try to go with just one score prediction. Let's have some fun with this and see who among us is Nostradamus.

Here's my prediction:

IU 27
OSU 23

Go Hoosiers!

Interesting article in today's Indy Star breaks down the avg recruiting rankings of IU starters at 2.3 Stars vs OSU starters at 4.1 Stars. Several of our best players didn't even have a ranking coming out of high school. I guess Cig bought these guys at The Goodwill store. Lol

Is heading in the right direction...

That being 10-0 would piss off so many people?
This whole thing is just bizarre,I bet they spent 30 minutes of a 60 minute show talking about IU.
It’s like the old saying,there is no such thing as bad publicity or something like that.
It’s really opened my eyes to just how freaking bat sh** crazy the SEC fanbases are when it comes to football,they are not rational people.
I can’t imagine how pissed off they will all be if we beat Ohio Stste but I’d sure like to find out.

I’m watching the Marquette v Purdue game; really impressed with how Shaka Smart’s team really gets after it on defense. They also do a good job of moving the ball and getting open shots. Just saying….

Found this on the Main Board. Anyone checking it out?

Login to view embedded media This should give you confidence about the OSU game if you are doubting IU's chances of winning the game.

I am surprised I made it through the complete show tonight about the CFB rankings. I will not go into detail all we heard. Obvious there is national bias against IU. BUT one thing was appreciated by those 4 clowns when talking to the SMU coach and was NEVER brought up with they were dicing up IU like chopped liver. Each team had something in common.

When asked .. the SMU coach mentioned he had an older team. I cannot remember the exact record he said but that is not the point ... that group of older SMU players won a lot and play confident.

Does that sound familiar? It should because Coach Cig mentioned it yesterday when asked ... older team and our coaches have won 24 of their last 25 games. Those of course count the games at JMU played.

But the 4 ESPN clowns never brought up that fact about IU, only went on and on about a weak schedule. You would think the B1G was ranked lower than the Mountain West listening to them. Galloway can go f*** himself but at least McFarland squeezed in "If IU loses a close game they are in the playoffs".... IMO IU wins this game.

The ESPN clowns will be speechless next week. I like what the UM AD said though ... "we watch games and what takes place on the field." ... but two of the ESPN clowns seem to want SOS to count more than what happens on the field !!!!

Screw 'em all and just win out. One game at a time, coaches and players that are use to winning .. and apparently have the ability to shut out all the noise. Even dumbass Galloway said IU had to keep their QB from getting hurt otherwise it is FSU all over again.

Sucks when you don’t have an 8ft center who got to shoot 30 free throws a game

Such a dumpster fire.
