What, my beloved Hoosiers didn't even get one vote? Surely that can't be right. :nono2: ;)

Here Come The Irish!!!!

I'll take an 18th ranking to start with. I'd rather prove them wrong than look like fools. Regardless Ty has a tough year after such a great start last year. I am pretty worried about Michigan, get past them and we may be the real deal.

Newsflash:

Indiana University football practice was
delayed on Monday for nearly two
hours at their Bloomington complex.

One of the players, while on his way to the locker
room happened to look down and notice
a suspicious looking, unknown white
powdery substance on the practice field.


Head coach Gerry DiNardo immediately suspended practice
while the FBI was called to investigate.


After a complete field analysis, the FBI
determined that the white substance unknown
to the players was the goal line.

Practice was resumed when FBI Special Agents
decided that the team would not be
likely to encounter the substance again.

My Brother-in-law sent this to me, even to us IU grads it's funny.
