The latest on a lot of big names over the weekend:

I htink Crystal Balls are technically branded for one of the recruiting sites, but anyway, a pick of 5-star Jalen Haralson to IU today.

So apparently not even allowed to compliment stoll without getting banned from the thread.

Ridiculous abuse of mod powers.

White Sox fans.

Sox will set a record that will never be broken.

4 top 100 prospects. Future looks grim.

died today. I love his mystery novels. If anybody wants a real laugh out loud funny treat, you should read those. He was a talent in so many ways.

Will IU get to the point this season where it draws 50,000 at Memorial Stadium and the fans stay for 4 quarters?
Charlotte will have fans leaving at halftime.
Maryland will be very interesting to see if the bandwagon is filling up.
If the Hoosiers are 6-0 going into the Nebraska game, I expect 50,000 plus the rest of the way.

According to ESPN if we beat Maryland we’ll be 5-0 for the first time since 1967 and 3rd time in school history.

And people are mistaken.

Who doesn't love a cheesy campaign gimmick? Trump says he will reverse his decision to allow people to deduct state and local taxes on their federal income taxes. He had ended this deduction in 2017 to stop red state taxpayers from effectively subsidizing the taxpayers of blue states.
This will add $1.2 TRILLION to the debt over ten years.

Woohoo- let’s get 2 or 3 more

I haven’t watched Maryland play this year, but it appears the entire offense is Tai Felton (600 receiving yards).

He had 130 yards and 3 TDs against us last year.

Seems like that matchup may be the key to the game. If we stop him I think the game could look like our first 4. If we don’t this will be a tough game.

Interesting IU didn't announce this. That's weak. It took a records request to get the info. See link below.

IndyStar Article

When this contract was signed in May there were obviously no actual improved results (as in wins) in the two major sports. However, it appears the Cig hire, NIL boost that helped our '24 Bball class and hopefully future classes, and general fundraising results were enough. I can only guess.

This contract is an ~80% raise and brings Scott's comp more in line with similar schools in the B1G. That's not unreasonable.

Personally, I think Scott is okay and now a net positive. He came in with no experience outside of IU (imo an outside hire would have made more sense) and probably made some mistakes early. Aside from that he's done a good job setting up our very important NIL structure/collectives, FB is trending up and he likely deserves most of the credit there, and he has always been a good fundraiser. On the BBall side, it's so political I don't know what's going on, except that it's too political.

Just my opinion, others may see it differently and that's fine. Interesting piece of news though.

Injury? Attitude? Simply passed on depth chart?

I'm leaning Reibe

Has put up 53 points @ UNC in the first half.

…better beef up those offensive and defensive lines if they want to compete in the B1G.

How embarrassing for USC to lose a game to a Michigan team that passed for 32 yards.

Michigan better figure it out because what they did today isn’t going to work against the majority of the league.

Kind of a surprise but I hope it's true. Just read an article saying Travis Branham has predicted an IU commitment. Another insider said it's a done deal. I always heard he was a Purdue lean.

Harris will win
The loony left is still loony
Trump is done Trumpism is not
