y’all know how much i liked this cat at Purdue, so it’s cool to see him doing it in the Association. 19 points, 10 assists (5 turnovers), 4 boards, 3 steals, and 1 blocked shot in 42 minutes. let’s go!

these kickers are simply amazing. i just watched a college kicker knock in a 52-yard field goal and trot off the field like it was no biggie.

Lutmer playing well for Iowa early from his free safety spot this season (i miss him at corner). nice play against the run in space and a pass breakup covering a tight end. Fitzgerald bringing some punishment from his strong safety spot for Northwestern. you can HEAR when he gets to the ball...

watching the Iowa-Northwestern game, the commentators claimed that Griffin Wilde is looking like a Day Two prospect in the next NFL draft.

i wonder that the real (behind the scenes) story is with Carson Hansen and Penn State … in other Big Ten news, nice to see Robert Fitzgerald back in the secondary for Northwestern after missing three games due to injury. he’s as good a strong safety as there is in the collegiate game, in my...

thanks for the correction. i should’ve checked my source before posting.

according to TwentyTwo, Flora actually leads the nation coming into today with 6 TDs of 20+ yards. WOW!!!

Aiden Flora enters today’s week nine game against Baylor as the nation’s leading rusher (117.1 yards per game). the former walk-on (go figure) will have his hands full against a Bears defense that ranks second in the Big 12 against the run, allowing just 99.4 yards per game.

this brings to mind a similar story by the same author this summer … https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-analysis/embrace-wemby-face-nba-proves-resistance-toward-jokic-always-racial-bobby-burack

some players of note: David Mirkovic (Illinois) - the personification of mismatch nightmare. at 6-foot-9, “Mirk” is a true point forward who loves to post up smaller wings and pass out of the double team that ensues. the sophomore plays at his pace, rarely allowing defensive play to speed him...

i don’t pay much attention to the NBA, but this caught my eye. after 2 weeks of action, our guys are punching well over their weight class: currently top 5 in the major categories: scoring: #1 Luka Doncic - 38.3 ppg assists: #2 Nicola Jokic - 9.0 apg, #3 Luka Doncic - 8.3 apg rebounding: #1...

‘Zona couldn’t overcome its starting trio of “supa affletes” shooting themselves out of the game. the WGAs combined for 7-27 from the floor. apparently, they didn’t get the memo that you feed the hot hand. instead, they wanted to “git dey shots up” or something … meanwhile, Kharchenkov went an...

Purdue is playing in Vegas against Gonzaga. it’s very entertaining and close, but “somehow” the best players on the court have all been our guys: Jacobsen for Purdue, with Huff and Fogle for Gonzaga. Purdue plays more White athletes, starting 2, (and the Israeli citizen Mayer who doesn’t look...

moderators, not sure where to put this … did anyone else see the news about the shooting (1 killed, 8 injured) outside the “magic city classic” in Alabama? apparently the affletes on da field weren’t explosive enough to keep the attention of the affletic crowd in attendance. LOL the game...

the first collegiate game of the season has taken place, and Notre Dame prevailed. noteworthy in this contest is that the Fighting Irish had 8 athletes play double figure minutes. why does this garner attention? 6 of those players (including 3 starters) were of the overachieving, gym rat, blue...
