Is that not the biggest game of the weekend that’s reserved for a prime time slot? What am I missing?

Auburn/Houston, Kansas/UNC, DUKE/Auburn just to name a few. Yes, I’m beating a dead horse. ZFG….

This is not a joke.

be good but shoots like he signed with Woodson instead of Izzo, Dickenson seems like a big douche bag. people who bitch about the NBA are nuts this brick Fest is unwatchable. I'm turning it off after halftime

I realize you’re all excited about the playoffs and/or the B1G Championship game. Even if you happen to lose in Columbus on 11.23 - you’re in the playoffs. The only scenario I could see that would put that in peril is a blowout loss at the Shoe….but that’s not going to happen. You certainly have the team that can win that game. If not it will still be a close hard fought loss. So enjoy the times, enjoy what you’ve accomplished and look forward to bigger games ahead.

OSU ‘87

Good to see our D getting some love from those who know the game. It’s this that gives us a legitimate shot at beating OSU, not our offense.

So there are a few threads about potential outcomes, etc., but I wanted to throw this thought out there for those who need to travel from out of state to a game in Btown.

If IU finishes ranked 5, 6, 7, or 8, then IU would host a first round CFP game in Btown on either Dec. 20 or Dec. 21. Given this scenario and the fact that I live just outside of Denver, I went ahead and bought plane tickets to arrive in Indy on Dec. 19. Fortunately, I have a place to stay in Btown so hotels won't be a problem.

If IU ends up a 4 seed or higher or something else happens where they don't host a game, I bought with points so no loss of money. But if they do host on one of those two days, plane ticket prices are currently reasonable and not $500 for a one-way like it was for the Washington game.

The other scenario (to my benefit) is IU finishes ranked 9-12, Colorado wins the B12 and finishes ranked 5-8, and CU ends up hosting IU.

Just throwing out some planning ideas. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of the above. Final CFB rankings and matchups will be announced Dec. 8.

I re-watched the UM game focusing on Stephens at the LG position. It looked to me that he held up well. He did get bowled over twice (an outside run in the 1st half, and on the TD throw to Sarratt), but otherwise seemed to hold up pretty well. He's slow but has some strength. What I also noticed was that RG Lynch got beaten a lot. It appeared to me that he had a very poor game. Just my observations.

Congrats, @snarlcakes Your wealth has increased tremendously lately.

Remember us little people on your way up.

UCLA (4-5) plays at Washington (5-5). We have played both so I am not sure which helps our strength of schedule the most. Maybe getting Washington up to bowl Eligibility with win #6?
OSU plays at NW. Hanging a second loss on OSU would be great. It would really put us n the drivers seat to play in the big ten championship game. Unlikely for sure, but root hard for NW.
MSU at Illinois. A win for MSU helps our strength of schedule.
Penn State at PU. A second loss on Penn State again increases our chances of reaching the big ten championship game. I know this will be tough, perhaps near impossible for some, but root hard for PU.
Nebraska at USC. We did not play USC so a Nebraska win improves our strength of schedule.
Rutgers at Maryland. Root for Maryland for same strength of schedule reasons.
Oregon at Wisconsin. Greatest reason to root for Wisconsin? If we could win out and Wisconsin could beat Oregon, we could be untied big ten champ.
Good bye week timing wise I think. Should help with normal nicks and bruises, Rourke’s thumb, and help our new LG get in the flow.

This was EXACTLY what I was worried about.
This is one of the most important positions in government and he's giving it to a woman whose ONLY qualification is she's a Trump disciple.

My Peacock subscription expires in early December. I plan to renew through March 1, the Washington game. My renewal price through Spectrum is $7.99 per month plus taxes. Is anybody aware of a better offer for Peacock?

Thanks ...

I guarantee nobody even knows they should.

Has us out of the CFP and includes 5 SEC teams. Sounds ridiculous but I wouldn’t put it past the powers that be to turn the CFP into a full SEC playoff. I’m afraid we’re screwed if we don’t pull off the upset in Columbus. This is like a political campaign with momentum swings and I just wonder how little it will take for the committee to dismiss IU’s season as a cute little story but ultimately put us “where we belong”. Our own conference set the precedent in 2020 by choosing the big brand over the little upstart program

She likes going to games with me but she not the fanatic that I am….until this year.
I’m retired and I’m in a dead sleep at 7:30 this morning while she is getting ready for work.
She pokes me and asked me who Penn St plays this weekend we really need them to lose another game.
I said they play Purdue and she said well they wont be any help😂

they risk making the same mistake that Democrats made under Biden. Biden claimed a mandate. Could be that the electorate is swinging back and forth between parties. Best to go slow in that circumstance. Not fast.

What is happening in Haiti? Shots at an airliner?

What is Tua doing?

Yes the defense did play well … and PFF has lots of praise

The top overall defensive grade went to Mikail Kamara,
- six pressures — five hurries and one hit. He also batted down a pass and recovered a fumble.

With 51 pressures on the season, Kamara leads the nation. The next closest player has 44.

Linebacker Aiden Fisher posted the team’s top run defense grade and second-best overall tackling grade behind cornerback Jamier Johnson,who was ejected in the first half for targeting. …

With Johnson out of the game, Jamari Sharpe filled in at cornerback and posted good grades, especially as a tackler. He was targeted seven times for just two completions.

C.J. West led the team in quarterback pressures with seven hurries, and he also batted down a pass. He had the second best pass rushing score.

The best pass coverage grade went to safety Terry Jones, Jr., who recorded two pass breakups. He was targeted four times and allowed just one reception. Jones also had three quarterback pressures and forced a fumble.

D’Angelo Ponds locked down his side of the field. Michigan only targeted him once the entire game.

In total, IU recorded 25 pressures on the quarterback on 37 pass plays


The top overall offensive grade went to quarterback Kurtis Rourke despite the game being far from his best based on traditional statistical measures (17-of-28 passing, 206 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT). The interception was Rourke’s lone major mistake, and his accuracy related issues were largely the result of pressure in the pocket he has rarely faced this season. PFF credited Michigan with 14 total QB pressures for the game on 34 drop backs.

The best pass blocking grade went to center Mike Katic. He posted an elite score, and according to PFF allowed none of the Michigan pressures.

. . with Trump signs in Florida after Hurricane Milton?

I will give FEMA administrator Deanna Criswell credit for firing Washington. But how the bloody hell could anyone think this was a sane thing to tell the valiant people involved in the recovery efforts? When FEMA employees and volunteers are going to extraordinary and heroic heights to help people some small-minded pissant tells people in her area to avoid certain homes just because they had a Trump sign.

Lock her up. Don’t give her a Lois Lerner soft landing.

I have four extra tickets for the Ohio State game I'd like to sell to a fellow Hoosier. They are in section 18C row 35 seats 1-4. Asking $1,000 for the 4 or will sell in pairs for $500. Can electronically transfer to buyer.

Rumored to be put in Trumps cabinet.

The Hulkster's pull is strong.

Great Podcast takeaways

CCC and family love Bloomington
CCC does not think much about coaches that are screamers
CCC learned a lot about being a head coach while at Alabama with Saban. And he shares those coaching traits.
A takeaway is that CTA was thrust into a job he really was not ready for.
Dolson should be a fly on the wall to learn what makes great coaching.


Only meant to get second link “players perspective” 35 minute interview with CCC (the IU chairs in the background.)

In 3 games this season, young man is putting up some sick stats for Tulane.


19 ppg
11 rpg
11-19 from 3
Only 1 turnover committed.


Pretty amazing, especially the shooting.

Was she paid to try and affect the election or is she totally incompetent? Was she part of the lie to fleece Kamala donors when they knew Kamala was going to get her ass kicked?
