Doyel: IU football has its General, and Curt Cignetti's team can beat anyone, anywhere - even at No. 2 Oregon
Once the biggest surprise in college football, Indiana has become something terrifying. Only a national powerhouse tops No. 2 Oregon at Autzen Stadium.

From the Colts:

“Regarding Anthony Richardson. He suffered an eye injury doing pregame (elastic) band work. That is the only update we have right now.”

Who goes into Autzen Stadium and thumps No. 2 Oregon? Only a national championship contender.
Indiana is a national championship contender.
And #iufb has its "general" in Curt Cignetti.

Likes, dislikes from No. 7 Indiana football's win at No. 2 Oregon: Ducks hunted, haunted by IU
The Hoosiers made mistakes, sure, but made more plays than they had to make up for in a historic win for the program.

No. 7 Hoosiers about to finish off No. 3 Oregon at Autzen. This doesn't look like an upset for #iufb. Oregon is said to be the biggest, fastest team in the country...
... and this does NOT look like an upset

From 2023 on Qatar and co. Headline:

“Middle East blood money has infiltrated NBA, NHL, WNBA; what's next?”

Now we know. Qatar has infiltrated Idaho.
www.indystar.com/story/sports...
Doyel: Middle East regimes creeping into US sports leagues. What could possibly go wrong?
Middle East “sportswashing” money has found America, and if the dirty money someday props up our favorite NBA, NFL or MLB team, well, it's our fault.

The man on the right? A HS principal I met in 2015. Wonderful man. That's his wife on the left, and their kids.
He died of cancer. I found out from a reader who read about my Mom, and told me about his brother, Keith Fessler of New Pal.

ESPN loudmouth Rex Ryan ripped Browns QB Shedeur Sanders for talking too much. Shedeur's response: Answering media questions without using his voice.
Nobody's right if everyone's wrong.
But one of these dudes is REALLY wrong.

Doyel: Your heart could go out to Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. No really, it could.
Shedeur Sanders vs. Rex Ryan: Who you got, and why? Both are bombastic. Both were born on third base. Only one's been under attack since he was a kid.

Not saying this lightly, because social media sucks and I really like Colts WR Adonai Mitchell. But Shane Steichen has to bench him vs the Raiders, right?
