A few hours to Kick Off // FIU thumbnail overview


Their head coach knows his business...

I don't think they have the talent to hang with us but I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't tested early and then we pull away in the 2nd Half...

Actually..., I expect us to annihilate them like everyone else, but figure we're bound to have some first time out kinks to work out early on...

Our DL should be able to dominate their OL so the game might be over sooner than later...

I'll be most closely watching our DL and our LB's, along with our own OL to see who looks sharp in the opener...

It'll also be time to see if all the preseason award talk is beginning to be matched by some regular season "walking the walk"...

Coaches talk about top NCAA QBs - semi off topic

There's an article on ESPN (behind a paywall) that has quotes from coaches on the top 44 NCAA QBs. (https://www.espn.com/college-footba...024-quarterback-confidential-college-football)

I was going through the B1G section and couldn't stop reading this quote about the OSU QB in Tom Allen's voice.

"Haven't played against him, but watching him on film, the dual [threat] part of that is always scary," a Big Ten defensive coordinator said. "He can run, big, physical guy. Those are tough guys to deal with, especially when you wait to see what Chip [Kelly] does and the influence he has. The style of play with Chip and a guy that can run, that helps. But at the same time, Kansas State was kind of built that way, too. I don't think he's elite. I just think he's a tough, gritty kid. The jury's still out."

I get that it's supposed to be anonymous but he's got such a unique manner of speech. None of this is especially relevant to IU football, but made me chuckle.

FWIW, Rourke didn't make the ESPN cut. The others mentioned were: Gabriel @ Oregon, Allar @ PSU, Moss @ USC, Van Dyke @ Wisconsin, Rogers @ Washington, Card @ Purdue, & Chiles @ Mich. State.

Looks like Indiana Democrats don't practice what they preach...


Thought Democrats throughout the nation had advocated that the rest of learn to live on this type of fare "to save the planet"...

Seems they're not as interested in this type of meal when they might actually be the ones eating it...

One might even get the impression that they're phonies thru and thru...

Super Serious Thread

Don’t f#ck this one up fellas. If Trump loses in November does this mean we get a lot of you Republicans back on the team? I’m trying to nail down numbers for Auburn. You’re all invited.

I apologize for those of you I left off. Also, a simple f#ck yeah or f#ck off is sufficient for an RSVP.
