"He's been one of my favorite teammates... It's just fun being around Braylon Mullins."

UConn star Alex Karaban talked about the Greenfield native's impact on the Huskies as just a freshman after the Huskies' loss to Michigan in the national title game. #finalfour

What an AMAZING finish in the Duke-UConn game 🤯

[Big East Rewind & Hoops 24/7 @bigeastrewind]

Here’s another view.

Unapologetically.

Cannot get enough.

.@UConnMBB freshman Braylon Mullins was Indiana's Mr. Basketball coming out of high school and had a lot of options. But his dad, Braylon’s high school coach, knew playing for Dan Hurley was the right place for him.

A win in the Elite 8 would secure a return trip to Indiana for Mullins.

🚨 “WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME”: Reports are flooding in from Levi's Stadium that Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance was met with audible boos from the in-person crowd, with many fans online labeling the show an objective "flop".

While the NFL’s "culture experiment" struggled to find its footing, the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) "All-American" counter-programming saw its viewership surge to a staggering 5.1 million live viewers.

Fans at the game reported a massive disconnect, with one observer noting it’s "hard to ignore when the crowd energy just isn’t there".

Many viewers argued that while the show might have worked in Rio or Caracas, it felt "totally inappropriate" for a U.S. Super Bowl.

Rumors are swirling that the NFL forced Bad Bunny to tone down his set last minute to avoid a total viewer exodus, resulting in a performance that many called the "worst halftime show ever".

The Great American Pivot

As fans switched channels to escape the "woke BS," the All-American Halftime Show featuring Kid Rock saw its counter hit 5.1M viewers, proving where the real demand lies.

Social media was set ablaze with fans demanding a return to "great rock bands" and performances they actually connect with, rather than forced "culture experiments".

One fan summed up the mood perfectly: "Book whoever you want, just stop forcing culture experiments onto a football game. Give us bangers, not lectures".

The "We Told You So" Moment

Even fans who claim to enjoy Bad Bunny’s music admitted this was the "wrong place and time," criticizing the NFL for failing to preview the "debacle" before it hit the world stage.

The massive viewership for the Kid Rock and Lee Brice performance is being hailed as a historic win for patriots who want their entertainment to reflect American values.

From the boos in the stands to the millions on the TPUSA stream, the message to the NFL is loud and clear: Americans are tired of being lectured during the biggest game of the year.
I agree
Do you?

IU women's basketball is having a rough season, and this didn't happen overnight. It's been brewing for a few years now. But there's reason for optimism that #iuwbb can get things back on track long term.
A look at how IU got here and its path forward:

Indiana Football — Top 30 Returning Players and Newcomers (2026 Preview)- Opinion Article Thread 🧵
By: @CandidHoosier

When Curt Cignetti took over as Indiana’s head football coach, he asked the previous staff to rank the top 50 players on the current roster to help him assess roster retention. I have decided it would be fun to do a top player analysis as a preview going into next season, as the Hoosiers reload to defend their first-ever National Championship. 

1. Carter Smith, OL – Team Captain, Anchor of the offensive line, projected 2nd round pick in ‘26. QB can’t do his job if there is not a formidable OL in front of him. Huge announcement to have Smith back.
2. Josh Hoover, QB- Gunslinger. He releases the ball quickly and has a high IQ when it comes to reading coverages. He throws a pretty deep ball and places the ball well based on the defender's placement. Will need to bring down his INT’s, which is not something IU’s staff is foreign to with QB development. 
3. Isaiah “Bones” Jones, LB- New “Green Dot” for Bryant Haines’s defense. Playmaker. High tackle and sack production. 2nd on the team in sacks last season (7).
4. Rolijah Hardy, LB-  “Naval Academy”. The team leader in tackles and sacks last season returns. He has relentless pursuit and is a magnet to the football.
5. Tyrique Tucker, DT- Anchor of the front line on defense. Run game disruptor and QB hunter. Tucker’s ability to navigate gaps in a stunt and slant through a double team creates issues for opposing teams. 3rd on the team in sacks last season (6).

6. Jamari Sharpe, CB– Veteran coverage piece opposite Ponds. Really improved as the season went on last season. Who can forget the national championship game sealing INT? Ponds got all of the coverage attention and rightly so. However, Sharpe had 6 PD, 1 INT. He led the team with 4 forced fumbles last season. 
7. Nick Marsh, WR- Production is immense (100 receptions, 1311 yds, 9 TDs in 2 seasons). He can line up in all spots on the field, similar to Cooper Jr. Most overall talented WR on the roster based on his ability to play inside and out. He has athleticism and immense size at 6’3.
8. Joe Brunner, OL- Brunner comes to IU from Wisconsin, where he was a 2 time All Big selection and a 2025 Pre-season All-American. He allowed four pressures and one sack over 316 snaps in pass protection and was only penalized once this season for the Badgers, according to ESPN Research.
9. Charlie Becker, WR– Breakout receiver with big-play ability. Will take over the X spot that Sarratt held the past two seasons. If the ball is in the area, Charlie B. from Nashville, Tennessee, is coming down with it. Not many others had bigger moments in the big games this season than Becker. 
10. Amare Ferrell, S- New leader of the back end of the defense now with Ponds leaving for the draft. Ferrell has averaged 4 int a year in 2 seasons starting for IU. This season, he added 6 PBUs.

11. Mario Landino, DT- Super Mario is back and teams up with Tucker to be arguably the best DT tandem in the BIG. He was fifth on the team in sacks (5) and had an impressive 4 pass deflections last season. 
12. Bray Lynch, OL– Key interior lineman returning. My belief is he will kick inside to take over the center position and lead the communication for the OL for run fits and pass protection. 
13. Drew Evans, OL– Multiyear starter on the OL at guard, lined up next to Smith. Road grater in the run game. Stout in pass protection. When Evans was injured the past two seasons, you could feel his absence, which is a testament to his abilities. 
14. Tobi Osunsanmi, Edge- Versatile edge who came into college as an LB. He played in only 6 games due to injury. In those 6 games, he accounted for 20 tackles, 4 sacks, 6 TFL, and 13 QB pressures. Great production.
15. Daniel Ndukwe, Edge– Ndukwe came onto the scene after the injury of Stephen Daley, and he took advantage of the opportunity. In the CFP, he had 7 tackles, 2 Sacks, 1 Forced Fumble, and a Punt Block

We're just getting snow here. How many of you down south saw this happening?

[Red Line News @RedLineNewsUSA]

The ice is no joke. This tree couldn’t handle all of that extra weight.

Thankfully, no one was hurt! Be careful out there!

Franklin, Tennessee ice storm damage. It looks like a war zone all over Nashville area with trees collapsing under massive amounts of ice. It may get worse as temperatures are now dropping and winds are increasing.

Very deserving. This corporation has a long tradition of honoring all of those who serve and their families. Well done!

An incredible honor for our district. Less than 100 schools in the state earned this distinction, and 8 of those are in our district. And just in time for our Veterans Day programs next week!

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the 4 pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
“Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
“Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
“Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up...
“I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said,
“Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said,
“You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
“How much?" asked the little boy.
“No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."
