Reacher Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I have seen a few media stories on fall practice. Anyone have any insights on how things are going? Likely starters?

TiminNC Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 (edited) 25 minutes ago, btownqb said: 6-6 would be a huge disappointment in my book. Not only are we playing for 2024 but we need to impress those players in the portal going into 2025. We lose a lot! Hopefully the "most likely record" goes up with every win. Any word on McCulley?

Walker was as impressive as anybody. Love how he plays. There’s an urgency there to go along with his athleticism. He’s not huge but with the way the game today is trending I could see him playing on Sundays. Edited September 6 by BobSaccamanno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 IU is now favored by ESPN FPI to win in their first 9 games. FPI also gives IU a 40% chance of victory against Michigan. As a whole, IU is now favored by FPI in 10 of their 12 games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritzIam4IU Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 "preseason" is done now. Good first two victories and clearly improvement made between week 1 and 2 despite the poor competition. Most years, I feel like IU would have won a game 27-13 against Western Illinois....glad to see them put the pedal to the medal and flex some muscle. Coach Cig is the real deal. I would consider 5-5 the rest of the regular season a successful year if they get to 7-5 and go bowling in Cigs first season. The Kool-aid in me is thinking 6 or 7 more wins possible, but trying to keep it realistic and manage expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kool-aid in me is thinking 6 or 7 more wins possible, but trying to keep it realistic and manage expectations. In recent years we would be in a game and commit a really stupid penalty and lose. I don't see that happening this year. This team will not lose it's composure and beat itself. We finally have a real coach who knows how to build a successful program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted September 8 Author Report Share Posted September 8 They are predicting Georgia Tech vs IU in the Holiday Bowl after week 2.

Any bowl will make me happy, at baseline. Good things are happening if we’re concerned about ‘which’ bowl. (<— hopefully this concern becomes more frequent, year after year.)
