Never had a chance to meet him but from everything I've heard about him....your encounter isn't unusual. Very normal grounded guy, average joe type are the words I used to describe him. Hope you guys had fun at game...wish this darn weather would settle into normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him as a kid, I almost took for granted how dominant he was. On the goal line, he was going over the top for a score, much like Walter Payton. I just thought that was normal. Great to know he is a solid guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at the IU Butler baseball game at Victory Field. I thought it was pretty cool he was willing to talk my wife and I for 5 or 10 mins. That's awesome. In my mind, he was the best football player in IU history. Great, great football player. I played ball with him once and choked and didn't talk to him. He was very nice in the game though. As you may know, he was extremely highly recruited. If the internet rankings existed then, he was one of the best players in the country. Unlike a lot of in-state guys over the years, he went to IU when he could have gone literally anywhere. And the benefit is he has been a major legend here. I doubt he regrets it for a second. They won some big games in his time, including against OSU and UM. Edited April 27, 2022 by BobSaccamanno 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these guys are having a real hard time not being the standout player, like in high school. That's just the nature of the business. Exactly…Chris Ballard talked about it with Colin Cowheard and he summed up my feelings exactly. Go to 25:20 mark…even discusses Tom Brady and how staying at Michigan probably helped mold him into the man he became. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 IU's social media team is doing a fantastic job. I do have a small nitpick with their "committed" templates. The area where they have the states, it's always the previous state on top with arrows pointing down to Indiana. Now, as we read, top to bottom, left to right, this makes sense... BUT, I would like to see the state of INDIANA larger and the other states smaller and underneath pointing UP -- most of the time is make sense geographically, but also it can help subliminally with perception. Players are moving UP to come to IU. Who cares that they were at Tennessee or Alabama; they are at IU now, which is an UPGRADE.* *It's all marketing anyways. Ok, end of silly rant. Still great work.

If Bazelak doesn’t want a 5th year, transfers, gets hurt, we have no one to take over the helm for 2023. Seems like the risk/reward really isn’t there. Hopefully CB has indicated to the staff that he’s here for at least one more year even if he doesn’t beat out Tuttle this season and we can recruit a top QB talent for 2023.

Doesn't this position change likely mean Dexter Williams (a redshirt sophomore who was injured last season) was in front of McCulley on the depth chart and is next in line?
