24-1 Keep it going Hoosiers!!!!

What a great game; one of the gutsiest performances I have ever seen by Mahomes. Eagles defense disappeared in the 2nd half and got exposed playing man in the red zone.

Nice win at Crisler, a tough place historically for IU...and against one the better big men in the conference. IU has struggled against big men like Edey and Dickinson in the past. Nice to see the progress.

An old professor used the saying often, don't kill a fly with a cannon. Deal with whatever incident that brought this on and move on. Keep the games scheduled. Canceling EVERY contest is too much. If every school canceled games for issues they have had to deal with froma school, there would be a lot of open dates for a lot of programs. One school near CG comes to mind, rhymes with Bart n Bill 😄 I hope there is a better resolution to this than the current one.

Someone posted a link to the story 5 hours before you posted this.....just sayin 🙂

Likely the same salary he is making now between his building/teaching duties and head coach.....without the headaches tied to being a head coach? It absolutely is an upward move. Things can change quickly too. The RB coach from Miami of Ohio from a couple seasons ago is in the same spot at Notre Dame.

My tech savvyness could not figure out how to post the gif of Fortune clapping for Rudy. Well played sir, well played.

I had not seen details of what his issues were, but I knew there was something up when the Hawks parted ways with him as one of their ambassadors.

That was a big win for IU, and I felt a MUST win for Wooodson. The program had to prove they are better than they have been, and the game against Maryland had people worried.

Not much talk in recent years, but today is THAT day. No idea which IU team will show up today, I am glad that there is a return to sense that this rivalry means something. It has been pretty one sided the last few years.

Sometimes it is just about who you know as a coach. Previous OC's for Saban....O'Brien, Sarkisian, Kiffin, Daboll, and Locksley.......seems none of them last beyond a couple seasons.

Just not in a rental car. 🤣

I have only followed this page for a couple weeks, but they post a lot of funny stuff. https://www.thesportsmemery.com/articles/47mpfvvoqc7smatf4744p8awuplgjh?fbclid=IwAR36qVIxebABcDYlLGVMRl7-1hgmmJ5trjPXURAPXYrzN3AVSvJLc8pqgKo

I was also thinking bad snap, fake punt.....there are a lot of odd things that could happen. In over 30 years of coaching in the game, I am pretty sure I have seen them all. 🙂

Interesting move for Rees if it happens. My guess is Saban is looking for some stability in the position. He seems to go through them frequently.

I was too young to see him in his prime, but with the forming of the WHA, I was able to see him play in person with the Winnipeg Jets. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/35557785/hall-famer-bobby-hull-golden-jet-dies-age-84

Been a rough day....2 from 2 different eras of classic TV. RIP https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/cindy-williams-dead-laverne-and-shirley-1235507240/ https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/30/entertainment/lisa-loring-wednesday-addams-dead-intl-scli/index.html

In more ways than one.

I think the issue schools have run into is that IMG uses these road trips to recruit and poach. I know that the Georgia association, whatever name it goes by, has banned their member schools from playing IMG. Several years ago, the head coach from Westlake Carroll was at the Notre Dame coaches clinic. They had played IMG the previous season and got waxed, but there were also a handful of players from that area that had transferred mid school year to IMG. I am not saying kids don't deserve opportunities, but this seems to be a bit of letting the fox in the henhouse to pluck a few.

So many parallels to their careers as it is....seems reasonable.
