Have to find a new backup

well damn, so much for Jacobs and Jones in the same backfield.

I love this day....the first official day of the new season. Has there ever been a free agency period with so many quality RB's in it? Josh Jacobs from Vegas signs with Green Bay Saquon Barkley going from the Giants to the Eagles Tony Pollard from Dallas to Tennessee...Not sure it's an upgrade for TN, but they could not hang on to Henry Derrick Henry from TN to Baltimore. Big upgrade for Baltimore.

While sad to see him go, it had to happen. 13 starts in 3 seasons. When he was healthy, he was dominant. I LOVE this moment. From the last game he played for Green Bay, and his final salute to the Bears....Classic Bakhtiari! I am guessing he will be A A Ron's teammate soon

Packers upgrade the offense/run game. Would love to see some 2 back sets with Jones and this dude. I love this signing.

4 in a row to close out the season. Eating crow a bit now as I predicted 3 wins when there were 9 games left. I am going to guess an agent or two, or someone close to agents told Ware and Mgbako they needed to see more if they want to be high draft picks. Johnson is still more of a liability than an asset. They only won 4 in a row a couple times in the pre conference part of the season. Clark Kellogg brought up the word bubble in the post game. I do not see it. They need to win the B1G tourney in my opinion.

He got 23 He is 3 inches taller and his arms are 4 inches longer It always impresses me to see what the skill guys do for strength numbers

Great point about in season. Not sure how many people are on the athletic department staff at EN. A number of schools have also added assistant principal responsibilities to the AD job description. Another similar issue to the one you mentioned could come in any number of decisions that need to be made for other sports, any time a decision is made about football that could give the perception of favoritism is one more headache for a Coach/AD to have to deal with. On varsity football game nights, other admins will have to pick up some of the responsibilities of stadium management because the AD has coaching duties.

I thought he had beaten his cancer. This is sad news.

But he and MLF are buddies lol

IU's Women's team won at Northwestern. It was fun to watch. NU packed the lane on defense to start to keep IU from scoring in the paint, so they started the game dropping 3's. NU extends the defense to shut that down, but IU scores in the paint. It was that way the whole first half.

I guess that eliminates Wendy's from the list on Fridays during Lent. Cannot imagine what those fish sandwiches will cost

Sad news from the Packers family. RIP Cherry

I had the impression that all recruiting rules were out the window. At the end of the season; for a PAC 12 game, the discussion was about the Oregon State QB. It was said that several schools had already contacted him even though he had not entered the portal. I figured the tone in which they said was as though this was the new normal.

Good to see other athletes doing well in Bloomington https://bigten.org/news/2024/2/24/womens-swimming-and-diving-indiana-wins-2024-big-ten-womens-swim-and-dive-championship.aspx?fbclid=IwAR2tgRekmS1Sz20iBTYANBG1iRNd5rXHS25UiWO-QcM1FC-3FYoBV1m-jII

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but it appears that it only says the 5 highest ranked conference champs will get automatic bids. So you could have conference champs ranked 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, and they are guaranteed spots. So ND could be a 3 and lock up that seed? Or, if the 5 highest ranked conference champs could be ranked 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, and ND could be ranked 2nd. I will say it’s a stretch to be number 1 for them, but any scenario is possible. Here is what @Muda69 posted in another topic

Just a reminder from the pinned topic titled "Rumors".

Absolutely NOT true. How you drew that conclusion is beyond me. The explanation as to why your post was hidden are VERY clear. You are not a news source; even if you had firsthand knowledge of the incident. If you published a story on a news site and included a link, that would have been completely different. Your logic cannot explain why this current topic is still active.

That class on the women’s side seems to be loaded. Krull here in Indiana as I mentioned before is highly ranked, and Audrey Jimenez in Arizona just won a State championship in Arizona becoming the first female in that State to do that. It was cool to see that Kayla Miracle from Bloomington and an Olympic medalist posted a video cheering Ocampo on after her Friday match on the Flo Wrestling Instagram page.

Here is a great video of it. She is still down 9-8 at this point.

yes......and the girls' tourney is not IHSAA sanctioned, but is run by the coaches association. It's held in January.

In that same poll, Heather Krull from Northeastern HS, in the same weight class (lost her 1st round match Friday night) had been ranked ahead of Julianna. I could not find a poll after that, but I am guess both changed rankings after the girls' State tournament where Ocampo won that weight class.

In the last girls' poll I could see from November, yes.

She finishes in 6th place. Cannot wait to see all she accomplishes over the next year.
