IU@ Cincy: IU 11 UC 4. IU ends four-game losing streak...

P
LHP Grant Holderfield is on the mound for IU with an ERA of 4.66 in 29 IP, and Cincy is starting LHP Carter Earls with an ERA of 5.79 in 4.2 IP. IU beat Cincy 7-0 at The Bart back in March.

In the 1st, IU goes down in order.

In UC's 1st, Holderfield gets the leadoff hitter on a ground out and the next batter on a flyout, but the next batter hit a homer to LF on an 0-2 count to give Cincy the lead at 1-0. Holderfield then gives up a single to the OF, but a ground out ends the 1st. The guy that hit the homer in Griffin Merritt is a hitter they have to be careful with since he has 14 homers on the season which leads their conference, and is two more than Ellis who leads the B1G.

Added note: Rutgers had their 16-game winning streak snapped today as their midweek pitchers lost to Princeton, 9-7.

Rankings still a little high

N
Hopefully this will be the last post on rankings with Reneau signing. I think we all know IU has a pretty strong recruiting class coming in. I would think Banks being named Georgia Mr. Basketball and Gunn coming off a summer injury and tearing it up his senior year their rankings might have come down. Seems both have stayed the same. Am I missing something or are these rankings such as Rivals just off.

On Traditional Media and Why it Sucks

I don’t know how many are following the @LibsOfTikTok saga but it’s a bizarre disgrace and an example of why traditional media (in this case Washington Post) is losing and we have to find our news ourselves which isn’t sustainable.

The account - I use Twitter so that’s where I see it - posts real videos of Culture Warriors saying their Culture War things - often crossing into the ideology of extreme LGBTQ activism and pressing it into schools. At some point, posting these actual videos (WHICH ARE REAL) has made the account creator a target of woke journalist Taylor Lorenz at WaPo. Lorenz - who has cried in the past openly about being bullied online- has since doxxed the account creator and provided a name and address. Lorenz has done so by declaring the posting of these REAL VIDEOS to be anti-LGBTQ. Lorenz even tried to visit relatives of the account owner as caught on Ring cams.

Lorenz’s further odious “journalism” will simply write a statement declaring a post to be anti-LGBTQ by describing the video’s content creator as saying something innocuous but in reality the LibsOfTikTok account posts the actual video and it does not match the innocuous description supplied by Lorenz. I don’t understand how this is acceptable. Hard Left accounts are now posting fake tweets ascribed to the LibsOfTikTok account.

My take: Culture Warriors are setting back LGBTQ rights with their defense of these bizarre takes in these videos. Main Street America is rightfully increasingly accepting LGBTQ more than ever before - but the gains will slow because of idiots like Lorenz and the extremists shown in these videos. I fully endorse Enjeti’s thought below.

Lorenz’s article:

Here’s Lorenz explaining in the past why it’s a bad idea to doxx people but it didn’t seem to stop her this time.

When even Saagar Enjeti (known for his calm conservatism) gets riled up - you know it’s ridiculous.

So Indiana is locked in with Adidas until 2024... When do the negotiations start? Can IU get away?

patrick593
I came here to ask when it ran out, then realized the google machine could tell me and found this great IDS article
IDS Adidas

I like adidas gear, they make some quality stuff and overall the branding isn't terrible... except when it comes to IU gear and college gear in general. I am very hopeful that Woody really pushes to get IU out from ADIDAS.

I'm curious when the negotiations start, when conversations start to trickle out about if there might be a move to something else (Nike or Jordan brand dear god)
Really interesting breakdown about apparel deals in College sports, and how the Big10 of all major 5 conf is the only one without a Nike majority (50%) the big reason being UA influence. 1 School is Jordan Brand (LINK)
Nike Schools in B10 - 3 East, 4 West
Illinois
Iowa
Mich St.
Minny
OSU
Penn St
Purdue

Meanwhile Adidas with 3-
Indiana
Nebraska
Rutger

UA -
Maryland
Northwestern
Wisconsin

Jordan Brand -
Michigan

Jordan Brand is the most interesting to me... look at the schools the represent... Some big heavy hitters in college sports, either in a major market, or dominate in 1 sport. IMO, if this is really appealing.
  • California, Florida, Houston, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, UCLA

Either way, there is a red headed step child of the group. And it's name is ADIDAS.

Overall, the schools covered by ADIDAS compared to NIKE nationally... It's night and day. Outside of a few brand names (Kansas). ADIDAS teams are rarely dominate programs... Wonder why?
  • Arizona State, Arkansas State, Central Michigan, East Carolina, Eastern Michigan, FAU, FIU, Georgia Southern, Kansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, Louisiana Tech, Louisville, Massachusets, Miami (FL), Miami (OH), Mississippi State, NC State, Nebraska, Nevada, Northern Illinois, Ohio, Rice, Rutgers, San Jose State, South Alabama, South Florida, Southern Miss, Texas A&M, Texas State, Troy, Tulsa, UTSA, Washington, Western Michigan, Wyoming
The highlights there are Kansas (in Basketball), TAMU (in football) and thats it? IU (kinda in basketball) Nebraska (kinda in football... like IU legacy brand) and Louisville ripe wish scandal repeatedly.
