Not just criminals are being sent across the border by our adversaries...

Michigan's Tracy Smith is hiring Ty Neal who was an assistant coach under Smith at IU for almost Smith's entire coaching career at IU. Neal left IU to become the Cincinnati Bearcats head coach a year before Smith left IU for Arizona State. Neal replaces former IU star player Josh Phegley who has departed.

SCOOP:
@umichbaseball
is hiring former heralded Indiana assistant and Cincinnati head coach Ty Neal as its newest assistant, replacing departed Josh Phegley. Neal was recently a HS head coach, but obviously has strong cachet in the D1 baseball ranks.

How do we stand with the 3 Indiana Elite guys? Does getting Haralson cost them the chance at all 3? Who is standing out in summer workouts?

All I can tell folks is that folks in Bloomington are raving about the 2 guards that transferred in. That Tucker is a stud...and that getting Covid in your late 50's sucks ass.

Check out the reporting from today's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. It's a total train wreck. His staffers ended the questioning because he was doing so poorly. So many videos will be lifted from this appearance that will damage Trump's campaign and down-ballot efforts. Trump said that Harris only turned black a few years ago. Before then she identified as Indian. He repeated his line that illegal immigrants were taking black jobs. He was asked if he would pardon those convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6 and he replied, Yes, absolutely.

We've got a few shirt weeks until the start of college football.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a season to start.

I was surprised when I read it. Democrats better change their stance asap. Bitcoiners have money and are a major voting bloc.

Something to look out for if you’re interested. Starting Mid-August.

As some on X pointed out (Trey), this could be some more phasing out of the Hysterics.

Disclaimer...Its July. There aren't very many things as useless as a summer Bracketology, in terms of actual analysis and predictions.

But its a conversation starter.

At first glance, seeing the 5 seed was disappointing. And I do think this team could be better than that. But... a 5 seed does mean we're viewed roughly as a "Top 20" team at years end. And from the rest of the B10 teams listed as in the tournament, IU would have the 2nd highest seed (Purdue at 4). So maybe that also would imply we'd be contending at the top of the conference.

So this gets back to everyone's expectations... If we did finish 2nd in the regular season, were a top 20 ish team at years end, and got a 5 seed...is that a good year for Woody and the program?

It's becoming a statistical dead heat in the new polls. She appears to have made up all the ground lost after the Biden debate and has the momentum heading into the DNC and then the final stretch. Very interesting and thorough poll here:


Keep an eye on the RCP poll averages as new polls are completed and added:

Emails being received that inform season ticket buyers that they will receive their selection day/time & priority point statement in the mail. I'd bet those letters could be showing up in mailboxes tomorrow and/or Thursday (maybe even today?) and that the online selection system will go live very soon to allow buyers to familiarize themselves with the process.
As an example I got my women's selection time letter & priority points statement in the mail this year on 7/19 2 days after receiving the email informing me that it was coming on 7/17. The letter was dated 7/16 so apparently was in the mail before I received the 7/17 email.
They also encourage folks to check into the online selection system early to familiarize themselves with it so would expect that will go live soon. I got the email telling me that the WBB selection process was live on 7/19. WBB selection started this year on 7/23.

Best of luck to you season ticket buyers and GO HOOSIERS!!!!!!

Might be a bad idea? Soon as working people buy gas and groceries Kamala will be the blame right along with her exiled boss.

CCC and the staff he brought with him seem to know how to conduct practices efficiently. They seem to know how to turn a team around and have it be successful in its first year (based on CCC's history). They obviously know how to get a quiet, confident buy-in from the players in a new situation (with the help of portal guys from the last place they coached at).

I always thought that CTA improved the basic talent-level at IU, but didn't always use/develop that talent as well as he/they could have (partially because they had the usual IU burden of not being able to keep good coordinators).

The Spring Game alone (& the fact that it was openly televised, with no chicanery around that fact involved) gave me hope that this team will be much improved this year.

We will see. The proof is in the pudding...

But I for one have - to mix metaphors - drunk a fair amount of the kool-aid already....🤷‍♂️....👍

Shapiro backs 'aggressive' business tax cuts as Harris campaign vets him for VP


I find it interesting that Shaipro understands that tax cuts work to keep PA companies competitive with other states. So, I assume he understands the same concept works on the federal level versus global competition.

Sadly, Kamala either doesn't understand that concept or just doesn't care. If she chooses Shapiro and they are elected, I hope he can teach her about economics.

@NPT @UncleMark @TheOriginalHappyGoat whyisiubballcursed messaged me on here that he needs assistance. He can’t post. Isn’t blocked tho. He sent me a pm on here but can’t reply there either.

Greg McElroy picks NW, PU, & Indiana as Big Ten teams who won't go to the postseason. "If these teams get to a bowl this year, it would be a great accomplishment. If Curt Cignetti can get Indiana to a bowl game in year 1, that would be an incredible achievement."

I'm sure Coach Cig is shaking in his boots.

Republican / Trump voters only.

If Haley had been the nominee instead of Trump with either Biden or Harris as the opposition, would you have voted for her? Honest answers.

If you feel that it would have depended on whether it was Biden or Harris, that's OK. Please respond as such.

Trump continues to play to his base which he already has locked up. Harris has retrieved the 90% black vote for another cycle. She also has the women vote. The only women who don't support abortion for medical problems are religious and don't know any friends who have suffered a pregnancy that they want with a myriad of complications.
