The divisions were trash. Just having the best teams play is the best way to go. If they would have stayed East/West, you'd still have 3 of the 4 teams in the East.

It’s not. I didnt wanna see Michigan vs OSU again most years. I don’t really want to see Oregon vs OSU again either.

If you rebalance divisions every 2 years you can avoid a lot of this and make it much fairer.

Remember when we had no talent last year?

What would you do with the front 7 of this defense? The players are terrible. Jenkins can play. Heldt has ability but is dumb because he’s poorly coached. The rest are guys who would not see the field for any other P2 team.

I think you could work it a lot of different ways and be Better. Not great but a not give up 50 to Illinois better.

I’d go Jenkins, Brevard, M’Ba and Anderson on the line. Thineman, Yanni and Heldt at LB. Grant, Green, Breedlove and Stevens at DB.

I think that lineup would do better than our current alignment.

Sure. It’s not lockdown D but they wouldn’t be out of position on the snap like they are currently. We struggle to cover the opponents formation surface pretty much every play. I think we could change that pretty quick in a 4-3, react better and faster to the outside run (and run in general) and help or DBs in coverage. Would absolutely help us not get beat by man beater concepts over and over and over.

That could explain why there have already been two assassination attempts so far during the campaign. Good thinking.

I'm not holding Trump responsible for bad Puerto Rico jokes - it didn't help him politically but he didn't know those lines were coming.

But this isn't some random supporter inciting people - this is the candidate himself stating that he is pro-assassination of American citizen political adversaries.

How would you feel if Harris called for the assassination of a political opponent of hers and supporter of his? If Harris had said @Riveting should face a firing squad once she's President would you be okay with that? Maybe, because you project having a dark life that you're not enjoying, but I think you get the point.

So does K2 think America wants a President whose strategy includes lying to people who trust you???

But digging in beyond that.....If a husband and wife don't share their lives honestly as man & wife.....do they really have marriage??

Those words....honest, marriage, man & woman seem to bother immoral & amoral Dems. They are truly without soul, that's why politics are the - be all and end all for them. It's all they have.

The rest of us have God, family, country -- and politics comes below that and flows from that. Where party is above everything for a Dem and everything flows from that.

But give ol Bob a break. He's on the verge of a nervous breakdown as Trump has been so dominant lately, he's about to freak out.

In your cult, doesn't the "wife submit to your husband as to the lord?" or something like that? The husband is the head of the wife. I'm sure you put a different spin on it like Christians do with many unflattering parts of the Bible.

How many women are afraid to speak out about their beliefs in that kind of a relationship? To be clear, non Christians have those types of relationships as well. Republicans and democrats.

Dems are amoral and immoral? Like, all of them? Might I share with you stories of Christian men in my old church that were screwing around on their wives and stashing money away? Left their wife with two kids and no skills to support herself........and was late on their child support?

They weren’t. You just feel that way because you are an IU fan and you sucked for the past 70 years.

Divisions are the only fair way to handle stuff like this IMO. To be judged on a record vs your peers when you play a significantly lighter schedule than your peers is incredibly unfair. Sure, IU is much better this year but are also aided by seemingly the worst conference schedule I’ve seen.

If the league “drafted” divisions every other year based on finish and played a home/away schedule over the 2 year set with one crossover game in the 9th week that served as a play in for the BIGCG, it would be the most fair.

Sure, you’d potentially lose some yearly rivalry games but who cares. We are all out there blatantly chasing the $ now!

Talking about the 2023 roster, which had more than a “couple” of NFL players… Tracy, Scourton, Burks, Theineman, Mock and Hartwig… and possibly others... Cignetti didn’t inherit a better roster from Allen. Nor did Brohm inherit a better roster from Hazell.
Nor does IU have a sizable NIL advantage, in Football.

They took what was there, added to it, and tailored schemes around that talent. They didn’t force “their” schemes onto talent that can’t execute it.

I put more blame on MBob for this fiasco. A 36 year old DC who has never been a head coach was never going to work here.

You've named one person on the online, and one hybrid player on defense. Mock isn't likely to be in the NFL.

Two of the five left because we wouldn't pay them NIL money, so now you are left with 3. None on the lines, or receiver, or QB, RB, LB, CB.

So all you've highlighted is we could count the number of NFL players on one hand, and lost almost half because the admin is too cheap to retain them, and didn't bring in any new ones because again we aren't opening up the checkbook.

Brohm had an NFL QB on the roster when he arrived. Some positions are more important than others.

What happens to our program, if Walters does not end up getting let go this year?

So didn't think this warranted another new thread and sorta fits here.. if we lose tomorrow, does CRW make it to monday as the HC?

If we have a smart enough replacement coach on hand which we apparently don't since no parts of the team are working right now. Plus it would make the AD look bad and we certainly don't want that.

word on the street is that there's a rift between the Harris campaign and Fetterman. That he and Harris have some personality conflicts resulting in him not making build efforts for her on the PA campaign trail.

I only watched the first half, so some thoughts:

1. Man were those announcers horrendous. So the GVSt coach has ties to Purdue because he was an assistant under "Cuzono Martin" at Missouri. Then talked about him now being on the "other bench" tonight. That implies he was ever on our bench because he coached under Martin? Also pronounced Keady's name "Keedy."

2. Harris = Lance Jones. Wow.

3. CJ Cox is a hound dog and has a nice stroke to go along with it. Very excited about him and Harris.

4. Colvin had some nice energy and had a 7-point run by himself.

5. Smith and TKR showed some visible frustration with DJ. Worrisome. In general, very meh performance by the center trio.

I don't care if those announcers were Purdue students looking to get a foot in the door or whatever.

You take the mic for that kind of opportunity, you need to at least know basic information about the Purdue basketball program, pass what is the equivalent of a citizenship test to earn the privilege.

He sticks his finger in her face; she slaps it away. Fire her; arrest him for a misdemeanor. Re-train all poll workers to do way better.
