Any interest on talking high school ball?

Final NFL rosters due today by COB. Who do you think stays and who do you think goes?

McFadden sounds like he's good. Hendershot is playing his way onto at least a practice squad, but likely the 53 man roster in Dallas.

I think Ball ends up playing somewhere based on his camp in SF. Everything I've read points to how much he's surprised people with his solid play.

How about Jones in GB, Layne in LA? I know there are others, but I'm most interested in these guys.

Edited the title so it would look like I was happy about all the guys that didn't make the final cut down to 53.

Would Urban Meyer move to/live in Lincoln, Nebraska?

Is a post-anger-management Bobby Petrino still a great coach, or, like Coach Knight, uou gotta accept the anger to get the coach?

IU should crush it this year. If the freshmen are as advertised, could be an amazing Season.

Remarkable how much contrast there is between IU and everyone else in terms of returning personnel/production - on paper not seeing a clear challenger in Conference. Going to have to be some serious effort by other coaching staffs to integrate so many new Players and develop Teams capable of high-level offense and defense for 40 minutes.

The fact that Woodson has such a strong veteran core should allow for a lot more 'polish' and greater focus/efficiency on offense. Expecting clear/strong improvement in shooting, A/TO ratio and OE.

Driving over from Columbus OH on Thursday to stay at my brothers on the west side. Heading down early afternoon on Friday. Probably get some chow near campus. Maybe Lennie's? What is the plan?

​

Friday night it will take about two or three possessions to see whether the offensive line has improved enough for this team to be competitive this year. I have the beginning-of-the-year excitement like everyone else and I like what CTA has done with the staff, team and talent overall....BUT...it's all just window-dressing if the QBs and RBs aren't protected. The performance of that unit is the main thing I'm watching on Friday.

Let's do it. Burn it all down.

First meeting in over 40 years

Nice summary of CTA’s Comments for Illinois Week. My Favs:

“Coach Walter has done a tremendous job turning the defense a year ago and has continued,” Allen said. “A lot of guys back from that group, good length in the secondary. Just really impressed. … So just impressed with their linebackers, physical D-line. They make it tough on you up front and try to keep the ball in front of them.”
(To me this suggests a CTA expects a defensive struggle).

"Relatively healthy,” Allen said when asked about injuries. “I'm not going to say we're going to have every single person that we hoped to have, but I would say it's going to be a high percent. Different than a year ago for sure. That's been a real focus, that balance of being physical and being able to prepare ourselves, but also keep our guys healthy.”
(So a the injury report for the Iowa game last year may have been scant …
good to hear nearly everyone can play the opener this year.)

"We've had a chance to be able to last week have practices with our…the starting quarterback in place, and then obviously again today, and we will the rest of the week,” he said. “It's been really super positive. It's been great to be able to have those kinds of reps and have that kind of flow.”
(We should expect to be (relatively) efficient on offense … with the surprise starter).

Is anyone else having issues looking at the game notes? I am at work, but have tried 3 different devices and multiple browsers, and they all give an error about the url beginning with "chrome-extension". Wondering if the issue is with them, or something being blocked at my work.

Regardless of what we think of bias, all journalism has become a useless combination of power, influence, money, and incompetence.

A couple of years ago they were going to put some new blood in the program and expand practice facilities etc. It would be great if someone could take some video of the halftime show and post it on this website. I for one would greatly appreciate it.

It is pretty widely assumed that pre-agricultural societies were communal in sharing food, etc. I remember reading The Origin of the Family at IU in a freshman honors Great Books course and we all took it for granted (including the prof).

This article (long but well written) details field work with hunter-gatherer societies today that tends to disprove that notion. Hunter-gatherer societies (like individual humans) appear to be too diverse to universally characterize in that way.


By the way, the prof's name was HH Remak. Anyone else have a course with him? Very interesting and impressive man who really cared about his students:

I think I've shared my thoughts on Braveheart and Jurassic Park enough times, but Deep Impact is on late night cable, and it's in the same category.

What are your unabashedly guilty pleasure movies?
