He was in Romeo's class, which still feels like ages ago.

TySon Lawton from the football team is also 25, in his 7th year of college football.

Everything he carries the ball, I break put my Barry White impersonation and say "I. Am. Twenty. Five. Years. Old." and then my wife does the same thing and says "I am a grown ass man. Get outta my way, teenagers."

I’m not sure this years version of Bama is as good as Oats has had recently. Likely overrated.

It's one of his most talented/deepest rosters. 2 deep at every position and currently his starting 2 is out with injury probably until January.

This early in the season there's very few teams that are as proficient or efficient as they will become in February. Teams with returning cores, and experience have the edge. Teams that recruit smarter less talented players - high floor/low ceiling - also have an edge as they tend to reach peak earlier. ie Purdue's countless December championships and March failures. Some of the low floor/high ceiling teams eventually catch up.

November assessments are fool's gold.

Tuberville is so stupid that he doesn't recognize the difference between a contract and a personal promise or commitment.

The contracts between a coach or player and a university all have outs, like a buyout clause or provisions allowing players to transfer freely. From the court rulings, clauses absolutely prohibiting a player or coach from going somewhere else are surely unenforceable anyway, right?

If you want to see what happens when a school doesn't take advantage of the new environment of NILs and so forth, here's an example:

Fired UMass Football Coach’s Wife Blasts School Over NIL Money

Don Brown's wife Deborah wasn't happy about his firing from UMass, suggesting he was at a huge disadvantage financially.

EDIT TO ADD: This recent article seems on point to describe the changing relationship between a player and university:

To answer your general question about contracts, there are some occasions when a court would order "specific performance" of a contractual term.

Coaching a football team isn't one of them--and a school would be stupid to attempt it. A disgruntled coach could do irreversible damage to a program while attempting to do the bare minimum to obey the court order. It isn't practicable.

And yes, Tuberville is an idiot. There are probably 3 million other Republicans more capable and qualified than he is to do his job.

No, Matt Gaetz is not guaranteed to get his House seat back after withdrawing from AG consideration

Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, leaving his House seat open. Here's why he can't automatically get it back after bowing out as Trump's attorney general pick.

Well, we are playing UNC Greensboro. They shoot the 3 very well and often. IU 79-67.

By the numbers, we've been pretty good defending the 3. But we sure can look bad against teams that spread it out, and move the ball around a lot. Honestly don't know if UNCG does that, but they do take and make a good amount of 3s. One of those games where if we do run them off the line effectively well, we'll probably handle them easily. If they are a team that moves it around a lot, and gets us in to rotations, they could hit a bunch of 3s on us and keep the game very close.

No clue. Hope those that Bet IU win their bet!

Rice is at least as good as the Dribbler.

Naw .... Rice is pretty damn good and probably much better defensively but offensively, Smith has the whole PG kit bag, handle, shot, vision, IQ and court sense. His IQ and feel for the game sets him apart.

Combine that with the short legs and lower torso of a 5'5 player that allows him to navigate very small spaces and turn on a dime, and the upper torso/strength of a 6'5 player with knuckle dragging long arms that ensures the ball always stays low .. and he's a far tougher player to check currently.

Edge goes to the Leprechaun.

Official Prediction Thread: IU vs. UNC-Greensboro...

and what are we drinking tonight?

Never thought I'd say this, but my attention is so focused on this weekend's big game on the gridiron that I almost forgot there is a basketball game tonight!! Our boys are 3-0 and have looked good in stretches, but still a lot of work to do for this team to really come together.

UNC-G looks to be a good rebounding and 3-point shooting team. Ballo should be able to neutralize that and otherwise I don't expect much of a fight.

IU 86
UNC-G 67

It's a cold and snowy night here in suburban Chicago. I have a Ten Ninety Impending Nightmare (barrel-aged imperial stout) in the beer fridge calling my name. Perfect for a night like this.

BONUS PREDICTION: IU @ O$U on Saturday:

You're all gonna think I'm nuts, but I think we go into the Shoe and pull this one out!

IU 31
O$U 30

What say you Hoosier fans?

GO HOOSIERS!!

Yet, both of us correctly predicted Gaetz wasn't getting confirmed, but you have no idea now🙄 I'll take that as your answer. You're free to believe what you want. I think Trump nominated Gaetz knowing he wasn't being confirmed. It gives cover to Senators who don't like some of his picks and is red meat for his MAGA base. Those Senators can claim they didn't rubber stamp his choices and Trump gets to claim he tried, but RINOs stopped him, blah blah blah, something drain the swamp, blah blah, cue the music and start the Trump dance.

Maybe the plot all along was to smoke out the 4 RINOs. Gaetz can still return to the 119th Congress. They also told us in October that they had a secret.

I'm both understand and would ordinarily agree but in this case Football only is the way to go if we want to actually follow thru on our "world class" approach to the Football program... It's "go Big or go home" time...
Click to expand...
Oh I'm not advocating not going big...in fact, I'm theorizing that including some of the major schools into it, might add a layer of funding to it that could unlock more and more possibilities for the football side of things.

A very abstract example, maybe the scales are way off, maybe they're not... but maybe funding for a football only facility ends up in the 300 million area. Add some connected Sports Medicine facilities(pick your whale IU med donors), Sports Media (Cuban maybe?)...and all of a sudden the budget balloons up to 700 million. 200 million for the academic center portion of the facility, 500 million for the football and any direct "crossover" areas. Medical imaging facilties maybe, sports recovery research areas, absolute top of the line, state of the art, puts ESPN to shame, audio visual areas, etc...

I think its narrow minded to just say "football only". But that's how it usually works, I get it.
