If so, then college football is screwed up even more than I thought that it already is,

I do ascribe to the view that stupid people should be able to say stupid things so we can point and laugh at them, but if you are going to platform the person, you have to actually do a little of that pushing yourself.

Wisconsin-52 Purdue-6 this after Badgers coming off back-to-back losses themselves. Wisconsin only 3-2 on the season, and still Boilermakers laid down fully. Ryan Walters did a blow by on Luke Fickell. Wonder if Purdue might move on Walters after only two seasons?

On the road in the B10, the game got tight and the Hoosiers blow out another opponent. This is what good teams do. This is real. Enjoy the ride, Hoosier football fans have been waiting a long time.

No major predictions this time... I'll provide some resources and you reach your own conclusions... (I will add mine at the bottom [just can't help myself 😉😎]...).

Accu Weather:



National Weather Service:


Hourly Box (NWS):



As everyone is aware, the key factor up there will be the wind... I'm guessing the best indicator of the types of wind(s) they'll be experiencing at the stadium will be a combination of the first two site real time observations (average wind speed, gusts and direction of) from above...

Looks like a typical late afternoon on Lake Michigan... If you're there "live on site" you'd best bring your hat, UV rated sunglasses, and sunscreen, as it appears many of you will be seated directly across from the water ( that reflected sunlight can cook your retinas and your skin)...

Here's hoping the wind stays below 20 mph most of the game..., and that Cig has a Grad Asst. monitoring those two Weather sites at the top before we attempt a FG...

The key may be the wind direction (which can move around on you at times out on the lake), rather than the wind speed... If it's from the SSE as predicted it might be blocked a little at field level by the bleachers; if it moves around to coming in from a Northerly direction it might cause a lot more problems...

I'm guessing that as long as we don't end up throwing a pass or attempting a FG exactly when the wind gusts to above 25 we probably won't have any major issues...

Field-wise I'm just glad we're not playing on that Elephant Grass (height exaggeration) old field that (seemingly) had a foot high crown running down the center of it... I've watched more than one player (from several different schools) be taken down by it [seemingly tripping over their own feet]... That's one half of their Home Field Advantage that's gone...

Here's to a Great Day and a Great Game! 😎🍺🍺💨☁️☀️

Our G-5 all-star team is pretty damn good and can play with just about anyone in the league?

We're gonna go to a bowl game and have a shot at 9, maybe 10 wins.

Nobody thought we were gonna look as good as we do. If they would have said we win 6 and go to a bowl at the beginning of the year, there isn't a person on this board that wouldn't have taken that.

Lets enjoy this season. It's turning out to be a good one.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on August 29. By 9/2 (“Heckuva Job” Day) Shepherd Smith was on the interstate demanding aid, political sycophants were demanding a magic wand fix of all blocked roads and all electric wires and all shelves re-stocked - but no blame for the failure of Louisiana or city officials (the only ones empowered to do so) to implement a mandatory evacuation. Nope. All Bush’s fault.

The rain started last Wednesday. By Friday morning, flash floods had already started. Cities are gone. Where is the help?

Asheville’s Mayor said an hour ago “ we needed it very quickly. We can’t wait any longer. Our resident have been without food and water now for five days.”

Well, Biden is saying the same thing Bush said - “ I don’t want to go and get in the way of the relief efforts.“

So where is the outrage?

Some of the dead and missing in Carolina are black. Where are the claims that Biden hates black people?

Bush sent 7,200 federal troops. How about Biden send in some? Oh, wait. There are 30 “high water” vehicles staged at …. Wait fer it … Fort Campbell, Kentucky!

The politics of personal destruction, the Borking of all honorable people, and the hypocrisy, has produced our next election where we get to pick between Trump and Harris (after the Democratic Party “democratically“ prevented Bernie and Biden from running). Thanks hypocrites.

Y’all sux.

So…what’s everybody think? Was it justice or injustice keeping him out of the HoF for life?

Think he’ll get in posthumously?

If I am reading some of these NCAA stats correctly, NW is pretty good.
10th in rushing defense
16th in red zone defense
17th in passing yards gained.
Better than I thought. We beat Maryland but there #1 WR (10) was out most of the second half. Can’t take anything for granted here.

Here's an article posted at the IU baseball site this afternoon.

Nebraska has released their full 2025 schedule and IU is not scheduled against them in the regular season.

Destin Florida because of the hurricane, a lot of big women in bikinis, if that's something you're into, every time a big one comes to the tiki bar, I ask them are you lucy. haven't found it yet but it has to be down here

This JD Vance has a fresh sound.

My parents live on a fixed income, have physical problems and have already raised their kids...but that's no excuse when child care costs are out of control!

Why should they get to enjoy their well earned retirement while I have to take care of these children I brought into the world?

Vance also has a fresh idea on inflation: make your parents pay for all your shit, that way you personally avoid inflation.

Easy peasy 1 2 3sy.

Yet it was no comparison to Trump's child care prose performed to an auditorium of economists. I'm sure they came away impressed. "Child care is child care" was brilliant. Nothing like busting out the associative property of equality. A most certainly equals A. I give Trump some credit for even acknowledging that much.

Trump went on about tariffs, that old intellectual conservative calling card. Conservatives and their tariffs, again...pfft!

Ever think what a 60% tariff on China would do? I mean, did any family farms survive Trump's last round wo the help of billions in welfare? Way to make farmers feel worthwhile, Trump. Pay them while you destroy their markets. smh at any farmer voting for this moron.

And a flat 10% on every other country's export? My god. His answer to reducing child care costs is literally "by doubling the price of everything else!"

'And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain that he would return alive, and had to say goodbye to his family?

- Tina Peters before getting her 9 years in prison handed down to her.

lol

She thought she'd get probation. lol

I love the 6 year old intellect. That'll work great in prison. For 9 years. Until she 78 lol.

Idiot. But, leave it to her to threaten divine retribution!

After letting others break into her county's voting machines, no less....

MSU secondary looks better than expected, while the offense is worse than expected. ORE QB looks worse than expected, the D and run game look as good as expected*

*Musings from a guy that's a temporary bachelor this weekend and bored off my ass already 🤣

*//Just a preliminary sampling of pregame articles out there... I'll try to add more up to date and insightful ones as I find them...//*

Who’s going? I looked into tickets a couple months ago but holy cow.
I know it’s all about supply and demand but I can’t justify 300-400 dollars for 2 tickets.
It looks like a pretty cool setup right on the lake and there shouldn’t be any bad seats.

And what is the pregame plan? Does anyone know if there is an organized IU tailgate?

Parking lots around their temporary stadium are sparse.
