And Briggs again hit it out of the park with his most recent article lamenting the fact that BG/UT goes to weeknight MACtion. He also brings up the ratings numbers, that I always talk about when people love the "exposure" of MACtion.

BG/UT was an absolute thriller of a football game last year and it draws less viewers than reruns of random reality schlop. I don't get upset when I see the schedule anymore because I know it's what we're getting, but it's still asinine.

Homecoming is officially 9/23 against Ohio.

Ohio State @ Notre Dame is that day. Think the athletic department will do some wiggling to make the kickoff times different enough to still draw a crowd?

Define crowd...

If we're healthy, I think we might have a sneaky chance in that one.

We're so cooked. We're gonna be 1-4 after Georgia Tech this weekend. We're not beating Miami, so we'll be 1-5. Gotta go to Buffalo after that, and while it should be a winnable game, how many guys are still trying if we're 1-5?

Very well might be 1-6 and needing to win out (with Toledo still on the schedule) just for bowl eligibility by the time we have our next home game, nearly a month from now.

DJ Irons will have a field day punking this undisciplined squad. He made most of Indiana's defenders look silly.
