Actually they were 4-0. I didn’t phrase it right the first time but what I meant to say was you guys had a chance to elevate your program when Purdue was in the midst of the Hazell fiasco and build on the things that Wilson started. Instead, Purdue hired Brohm and passed IU after year 1.

Hazell didn't coach that last one that is why I said 3-0

The two programs are not tied at the hip. They mean nothing in the landscape of college football. One is mediocre the other is dreadful.

Allen has to get to a bowl this year, but If he does I am just fine with where the IU football program is headed. Couple of the best recruiting classes in program history, along with the program paying for and keeping some of their better assistants.

Who are the other cross over games?
 
Obviously I'm a bit of a homer and love Tre's potential but....yeah....not seeing a top 20 player in the country this season. Dude probably isn't even starting.

Agreed that it seems incredibly high for Williams, but his summer play has bolstered his perception. It's one of the (many) b1g storylines I'm curious to watch this coming season.
 
Andy Katz beats off to the B1G

I’ve seen it. An absolute moron.

To be fair to him though, he did get a closed head injury after his ATV accident which got him cut from the Seahawks. He has been completely off the rails ever since.
Im sure a traumatic head injury definitely could have impacted his behavior. Still, lot's of people with brain injuries that don't go around fighting the cops. Especially in that situation, wasn't even drunk and was looking at a civil infraction. Just watching the video and listening to him talk he seemed pretty low IQ in general tho.

He's been in a downward spiral for a few years now. His last year at MSU he mailed it in and didn't play the last 3 games, then be bombed his combine interviews, fell to the 2nd round, then got into the ATV crash and basically ended his NFL career. Then he started hanging around with his old Detroit friends, bought a stolen Ford Raptor and fought a cop... And now he's going to jail.

Crazy amount of potential just flushed down the drain

What the hell kind of players are you guys recruiting?
 
He was one of the only 5-stars Dantonio has ever gotten. To be clear, his legal troubles started after he was in the NFL. After the ATV crash, he was also arrested in Atlanta for an altercation outside of a club.

Everyone knows legal troubles just get swept under the rug at MSU. Of course they can’t start there.

Carsen having a good showing in summer play. Through 3 games averaging 19 ppg on 56% shooting, 44% from 3.

Loved how Stevens was talking about him on the broadcast. Curious to see the details of his contract.

Efficiency and defense should improve meaningfully with the lower usage plus the healthy back. He has a great opportunity to be an instant offense bench scorer and also learn from Kemba. Historically, I’ve always hated the Celtics, but will have to root for them now as long they aren’t playing the Pacers.

Edit: Also, my wife’s family are big UCONN boosters, so she I can now root for the same team for once, which is a good side benefit.

I’ll buy a Langford jersey if you buy an Edwards
 
I know this is a basketball thread, but Lovie's recruiting is so atrocious. I need a pillow to scream into. He's going to have to pull a rabbit out of his ass to keep his job.

Ahh well that makes alot more sense now. I did have a feeling there was something more going on but had no idea he bought a stolen car. 100% he knew it was stolen too. Idiot.

Done. I would also propose an unrelated proposition where we both donate $50 to charity if the Celtics make the playoffs or $100 if they get past the first round. What do you think?

Some of these guys are so crazy that it makes you think that all the head trauma starting when they are kids must be impacting them. I mean look all the sht with Kellen Winslow Jr. he could just have been a perveted nutjob, but the hits to the head can’t help.

Very interesting that Whitman is still all aboard the Lovie train and even seemed to double down on him. How bad do you think attendance will be this year?

What are some specifics as to why it’s so bad?

He didn't double down on him. Gave him a year extension without modifying his buyout. Not doing that would've cut his legs out from underneath him, but it appears recruits saw through it.

It's the right thing to do to give him this year to prove it. He rebuilt a team from nothing.

Why is it so bad? Right now, we have three commits, and we have lost a few guys recently that were committed or hard leans to Illinois. Combine that with 9 wins in three years, and that's why it's so bad. Everyone else in the league is improving. We aren't.

Doesn’t sound too different than year 4 of Hazell. Granted he only had 6 wins after 3 years but the situations seem eerily similar.
 
Lovie >>>>>>> Hazel

Hazel was the worst head coach of all time

I agree Lovie is better but idk if its by that much. Hazell did beat him head to head in their only matchup haha. Interesting that 2 of Hazell’s 3 B1G wins came against Illinois.
 
I got a couple 6 packs of Hopslam this winter -- called my liquor store every other day for like two weeks to make sure I could get some before it sold out. $25 per six pack but well worth it. It's pretty rare that I don't like one of their beers, just so god damn good -- Two Hearted, Official, and their Porter are some of my go to's.

Just googled Emerald Lake and it looks awesome. Sounds like a good 4th. In the last couple weeks of hiking in Buena Vista and Crested Butte, the snow has really impacted us. One hike had a creek that's normally pretty small, but was really high and impassable, then another still had tons of snow/damage from an avalanche. But it is freaking gorgeous out there right now -- so green, so many wild flowers, the snowcaps are cool, and love the lack of fire bans.
I've only ever been to Crested Butte in the winter, sounds like I need to visit during the summer sometime!

Who do you wish your football would schedule?

I would like to get ND back on the schedule.

And Oregon

hmmmm not sure I am that much a "fan" of the Celtics. I might be willing to go to the book, so we both can potentially profit off them though :)

Are their numbers confirmed yet or are they just summer team numbers they are currently wearing?

IU needs every bit of those 3 non-conference wins to reach 6, so whoever gives them that best chance. They are starting a series with Louisville in a year or two which is just dumb, unless Tom has them a really really good spot.
