GameDay @ Bloomington just announced...

Out of curiosity, to try and get a ballpark read on the broader public reaction to Schwarber, we can look at the number of views each of the nine guest pickers this year have received on GameDay’s guest announcement post on X/Twitter.

In the half a day or so since the announcement, Schwarber's views (1 million+) already exceeded three of them (Dawn Staley, Michael Phelps, Blake Shelton). He'll most likely pass Johnny Manziel today. I can't really predict how many more views are coming, but he'll end up between #3 to #5 out of nine on announcement post views.

Not bad... IU isn't exactly the biggest FB program around to drive views. And the vast majority of the comments are very positive. We seem to be in good shape with our guest picker.

Zach Edey tonight

There are some PU grads currently pushing this narrative that the NBA refs should spend some time in training with the BIG refs to learn how to properly ref Edey. The BIG refs were able to learn to see how edey virtually never fouled while being beaten on every play.
I give MP credit too, for lobbying the refs for not calling fouls on ZE. We used to have a coach who could work refs also. The idea that Zack Edey "didn't foul much" was one of the more amazing con jobs I've seen. Obviously NBA refs didn't get the memo! But then again charging, hacking, and backing down and knocking (smaller) defenders out of position aren't fouls in college... oh, wait, they are?

Anyone actually think we'll get Mullins?

I think that time has come. IMHO This is his last shot with the majority for the fan base.
Yep. I tend to me more patient than most with coaches, but if Woody can't make the tournament or challenge for the BIG title with this team, I don't see much point in keeping him around. He isn't a tinkerer, so it's not as though he's likely to find some master-stroke in year 6 that would change everything. This is the "proof of concept" year.

North Carolina/Tennessee today...

An immediate family member is trained EMT. For 20 years, has trained and fielded German Shepherd dogs trained as 'cadaver dogs' in multiple states, mostly Indiana and contiguous states.
I asked if the authorities had been in contact....here is the answer;
'The CUE Center for Missing Persons is my primary agency.
We must wait until local infrastructure has been restored. We generally do not work disaster call outs, but there will still be people missing when the dust settles. All of our certifications require LE or EMA oversight. FEMA has a few cadaver dogs deployed as well as NC and TN teams. The odor of decomposition is so overwhelming it is causing the dogs to alert far from the actual source(the deceased). It is tricky and dangerous right now.
There can be long term consequences for handlers and dogs. I donated to Samaritan's Purse because they offer spiritual and material support.
I have had handlers call me.
I warn them; You cannot unsee, unhear or unsmell what you will be exposed to. One certainly understands the magnitude of the horror."

I should have worded it better. I meant the backup to Russell.
Yes. I figured that is what you meant.

Max Christie is one of those guys and he is pretty underwhelming. Then Gabe Vincent and Bronny get minutes in front of JHS.

As another poster noted, JHS is low man right now. Not good to be behind Bronny who arguably should not be in the league.

Having said that, JHS has not been terribly impressive up to this point. Hope he can earn some quality time as he ramps up in the NBA.

Plenty of hobbies, golf, woodworking, yard work, traveling, refinishing old furniture, and reading the good book!
I try to read IU comics every chance I get! But I like to study the ins and outs of college basketball, stats, team schedules and coaching philosophies! I used to coach basketball and played one year of college ball. Love the sport! Thank You!

Hart? I refuse to believe that 1.


- Mike Hart did his Zoom interview with Indiana yesterday evening and he told a source that he thought it went very well.
