It looks like IU picked up a familiar big crystal ball pick. Hopefully it comes to fruition.

Byron Baldwin

Just a guy that went and made it back. We must never forget.

…are all about survival.

This was one of those.

10-0, boys!!! Hell yes!!!

How many of you have watched them any? I watched the PSU game last week waiting for our game and wasn't all that impressed. I'm watching them manage the Toiletmakers right now and still not impressed. I would compare them to us when we played FIU (at best). For all the talent they have, they're just going through the motions and look unmotivated. Even if they get up for us in a couple weeks, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in Columbus.

Also, Ryan Day looks like the Temu version of Dave Bautista 🤣

Go Hoosiers!!

The contributions of Tucker and Carlyle to the second half breakaway confirms what I've been expecting - they are going to be crucial contributors to this team, probably logging around 20 minutes per game. Tucker is a mature, well-rounded, do-it-yourself talent who makes everyone better, a great backup to Mgbako. Carlyle is already a good defender and team player, and his shooting began to round into shape in the second half. He'll pair with Galloway at the second guard spot. Hatton will sub for Ballo or Reneau, or maybe Goode as long as he hits his threes. And we'll have Newton, Cupps and Leal if any of the guards gets injured. That's a lot of talented depth. So I still think this team can be ready to play with Purdue and Illinois at the top of the league.

Particularly when it comes the offensive line play.

That was the first time they've gone up against a line comparable to what the Buckeyes can offer, and they got absolutely mauled for about 2 1/2 full quarters of football. And, frankly, their poor play did seem like it started to get to Rourke. Sarratt let him down a couple times, but he was also fairly erratic for most of the last 40 minutes or so. The complete miss on the wide-open swing pass to Ellison (on the play where we got called for holding, but still) with no pressure and no one near him, in particular, raised a few red flags.

To the least amount of yards all year. Think about that and that includes the number 1 team in the nation!

For years!!…

142,000,000 counted so far (Reuters) - will go up a bit

155,500,000 in 2020

81,283,500 for Biden in 2020

74,223,975 for Trump in 2020

67,768,544 for Harris so far counted (Reuters)

72,475,248 for Trump so far counted (Reuters)

Neither will make the 2020 number

Harris fell shorter

Why?

This deserves its own thread.

I’ll start - was it “8 years of hateful rhetoric/propaganda drove some to stay home“ OR “some demographic in the Democrat Party dislikes Harris” or Door No. 3?

No B1G+. Any help?

#8 in initial ratings.
UGA and Miami lose. So IU should move up.
#5 in AP. Even with sloppy performance, IU jumped 3 spots. Tells.me AP and coaches feel this team is legit.

Loss at OSU can't possibly drop this team out of CFP Top 12...

Although, get boatraced by OSU, then struggle vs PU, and that could be a cause for concern.

But just don't see that happening.

This is going to be an incredibly fun month as we've got first and foremost, the fight of the century, as well as an election with OUR VERY DEMOCRACY AT STAKE, and finally a shocking opportunity for the hoosiers to be in the playoffs. i'll start now and let's see you people be accountable and put your predictions in cement. no told ya so monday morning qb bs.

The election - we won't know that night but will start out super pumped for a trump clear victory but in the end harris will squeak this one out. Harris is the next president.

The fight of the century - THE GOAT, AKA THE PROBLEM CHILD, second or third round victory over a legend. tyson throws in the towel. punching that bag and working out is fun. at almost 60 he won't be able to take THE PROBLEM CHILD'S heavy hands hitting him in the head. getting hit won't be good at tyson's age. and people underestimate the power of THE PROBLEM CHILD. he carries the weight of gen z in his heavy hands. the bullying. the angst. all of it. THE PROBLEM CHILD with a relatively easy victory

Our Hoosiers. 10-2. Miss out on the playoffs but secure a fun warm weather bowl in a magical first season. More than anyone could have hoped for.

I admittedly didn’t pay much attention to any of this b/c I really had no idea it would be relevant. Now that it is can someone tell me how the CFP meshes with the bowl system and what plausible scenarios could IU be facing regarding travel destinations come January? TIA.

Delete please. Sorry for the duplicate thread

I'm going OSU -10 but I think that may be a bit optimistic. Mind you, I think it will be a close game--I'm just talking about how Vegas will see it.

New battleground state polls appearing today in RealClear:

• Arizona (CNN): Harris +1
• Nevada (CNN): Trump +1
• Nevada (Trafalgar Group): Tie
• North Carolina (WRAL-TV/Survey USA): Tie
• North Carolina (Trafalgar Group): Trump +3
• North Caroline (Elon): Tie
• Wisconsin (InsiderAdvantage): Trump +1
• Michigan (Emerson): Trump +1
• Michigan (Susquehanna): Harris +5
• Pennsylvania (AmGreatness/NSOR): Tie

All but the Susquehanna poll (Michigan) are within the MOE.

So how soon 'til Trump declares victory? Election night? November 6? Tomorrow?

I listened to Moore’s postgame presser and was so thankful that IU did not (once again) hire a head coach with no head coaching experience. I know it’s worked ok for Day at OSU, but hiring someone who has never done it, especially at a program like Michigan is baffling. Moores answers seemed mostly centered around emotionally supporting his team. He better win next year at Michigan or he’ll be gone. What a contrast compared to Cigs. I’m going to enjoy this ride as long as it lasts!

"For two years, I've been saying that Ukraine has zero chance of winning the US proxy war against Russia. The MSM has dutifully propagandized the American public into believing Zelensky was winning and anamethnatizing those of us who challenged the narrative.
Now the MSM is admitting the war is lost. If they had been truthful from the outset, the reality would have steered Ukraine toward the peaceful generous settlement that Russia repeatedly vouchsafed, and 600,000 Ukrainian kids might have grown white hair".

Climate activists at work?
