    Idk. They look good. If a genie popped up and offered me a 1-1 split with them right now, I'd definitely take it.

    How about in Ann Arbor? That's got to be a decent chance if all things stay the same.

    Anybody want to break down the five positions advantage/disadvantage mich/ind? I know some of you bball guys can do it.

    It's hard to break down, especially since both teams should improve by the time they play each other. But IU has all the pieces. Best big man in the country who can run and handle the ball extremely well. And they are stock full of good 3-point shooters. If they have a weakness, it's probably defense (that was their weakness last year), but it's early so I wouldn't bet against them getting better on D. We have great guard play and shooting, but are still learning to play in the paint. IU is the better team right now, but we don't play them for a couple months. I doubt anyone beats them in Bloomington. My hope is we play well enough to pick them off in AA. Winning on the road is always tough in the B10.

    Can Michigan beat Indiana? Cause I don't think MSU osu or Illinois can.

    Gotta see how Indiana plays on the road. Wasn't their strong suit last year, haven't had a true road game yet. They don't really have a tough road game until Feb 7th @Illinois.

    Their B1G slate starts off: @Iowa, @Penn State, vs Minnesota, vs Wisconsin, @Northwestern, vs PSU, vs MSU, @Purdue, vs Michigan then @Illinois.

    I can def see them undefeated through the michigan game, they look almost unbeatable at home.

    IU won't be undefeated coming into AA. Idk which road games they will lose, but they will lose at least a couple. OSU lost @ Illinois last year. We lost @ Iowa. You lost @ NW. It's hard to win on the road against good teams. IU is not that much better than the other top teams in the B10 that they are going to run the table.

    Uh, i dont think you understood what i said at all. I said I wouldn't be surprised to see them undefeated going into February 7th @Illinois. Their road games before that game are @Iowa, @Penn State, @Northwestern, and @Purdue. Sure its possible for them to lose one, but I don't expect them to, those teams are awful.

    Ok. They don't come to AA until the final game of the regular season. Maybe I misunderstood you. What did you mean?

    Edited it. I meant through their home game with Michigan. February 7th @Illinois is their first tough road game.

    Indiana plays Michigan in Bloomington on February 2nd. I expect them to win that, and be undefeated. I don't think Indiana loses at home this year. Then on February 7th is their first true road test @Illinois.

    Renderings of the plaza that came up a little while ago

    The only thing I would prefer is that they would put another floor on top for the recruiting room. Give it an all glass wall so it overlooks the stadium.

    Truth. I generally feel the same way about soccer (although I can get into the World Cup).

    They gave up 69 points to CCSU. They are a lot like us with an explosive offense and a bad defense.

    UM and IU aren't very similar at all, really.

    Yea, that kid's pretty good at football.

    Saw Donovan Munger committed to tOSU today. I'd assume it's down to UM - MSU for Dawson now, though that's only if he leaves AA uncommitted next weekend.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    I think he re-commits to UM. IMO he really just wanted to check out Florida, if he didn't commit to them, I think UM gets him.

    Slim chance he goes to MSU. He never really wanted to go there.
