  1. Ever listen to it? I swear some of those callers have to be made up.
  2. He’s still out there. Why don’t you two hook up? You’d make a great team. 😂🤣
  3. Listening to his radio show, it’s a never-ending lovefest for Alabama & Georgia between him and his redneck cracker call-in guests.
  4. A great season for IU without a doubt, made all the better because it was unexpected. My hope is an 11-2 season was so enjoyable for Hoosier fans that they realized winning is great - and they want more of it. Having said that, if you want to be taken seriously on a national scale, you’ve got to upgrade your non-conference schedule to something a lot better than Old Dominion, Kennesaw State, and the Fighting Sycamores, which is how they start 2025.
  5. His entire resume as a football coach is as follows: “Served as the offensive coordinator and advisor of the Atlanta Legends of Alliance of American Football (AAF) in 2019.”
  6. Hard pass.
  7. Glad to provide a little levity in your otherwise drab existence.
  8. One of many additional subjects you know nothing about.
  9. It seems to me we are on the cusp of losing that which has made college football unique. Instead, the game is rapidly becoming a watered down version of the NFL: a minor league of pro football, with free agency, bidding wars, player holdouts, and everything that comes along when it becomes less about sport and more of a business transaction. I’ll still watch it because I love football. But the players are more and more looking at it like a job, rather than a game. And to me, that’s sad.
  10. That tells me what I need to know about your thought process.
  11. He was trying to convince TA to “monetize” the GID by, among other things, converting it to a subscription based forum. TA was totally against the idea.
  12. So, I ask again. What sort of evidence or “documentation” would satisfy you? Give me a specific example … if you can.
  13. @Sparty won’t be satisfied until you get affidavits from the 1956 Heisman voters attesting to the fact that Jim Brown didn’t win the Heisman because he was black. The notion that, in mid-1950s America, a man was discriminated against because of his race, is not exactly breaking news.
  14. Non-compete agreements are required to be reasonable in scope and length, but are generally enforceable otherwise. I would think a clause which prevents a player from competing for another P4 school for a year would pass muster.

    IU 2024

    Not complaining. The consensus seems to be a home game is more important than a bye.
  16. Put non-compete clauses in those contracts requiring the player to sit out a season if he breaches the contract by going to another school. Transfer portal? There, fixed that for you.

    IU 2024

    The way I look at it, since ND can never have a bye, a home game is the best we can hope for, seeding-wise.

    IU 2024

    On campus games is one thing they got right about this format.
  19. How about “marking their territory?” 😂🤣
  20. As I indicated, my understanding is the exams are used to properly place the student in classes. I’m not aware of any p/p schools turning away paying customers. One exception might be special Ed students, as they may not be equipped to furnish necessary services.
  21. My understanding is that most “entrance” exams are actually “placement” exams. But someone with more current p/p experience can probably provide a better answer.
  22. If there were anything that screams for a tweak in the format next year, it’s this. So, what’s more important: the ability to host a game, or the week off that the first round bye brings?
  23. Who cares? Whether it is easier or not, it’s only relevant if it’s happening. And there’s not a shred of credible evidence that it’s happening, has happened, or will happen in the future.

    Negative.

    Nice job, doubling down on an untenable position.
