What's difficult to understand?
The Raiders get one chance to do this right, and are doing everything possible to support Fernando (better o-line, QB-friendly system, working with Brian Griese, etc.). Cousins is a solid backup who will be a good example for Fernando to see.

Not sure I get the Cousins move in Vegas. If any rookie is ready to be thrown into the deep end right away, it’s Mendoza.

Friday’s certified essential Yacht Rock song of the day:
Heart to Heart
Kenny Loggins
1982
Yachtski scale score 99.625
My score 100
Derek Johnson’s heartbeat bass line..Tris Imboden’s drums..Michael McDonald’s Fender Rhodes..David Sanborn’s sax..Pages’ background vocals and Kenny’s smooth lead vocals…all of it…just brilliant…

@LRiddickESPN @IUJGray i can honestly say i am ridiculously proud that he was the QB for my alma mater - he is the total package - physical, smart, leader and by all accounts a fantastic young man
English
Was standing with/talking to #Raiders GM John Spytek when he launched this throw…safe to say we were impressed.
Scouts Vision@ScoutsVision
65 yards in the air on a dime from Fernando Mendoza, who didn't even put everything into it #IUFB #RaiderNation

Name a great television theme song. I’ll start:

@insidethehall @ScottAgness that was absolutely my first impression … not surprised at all
English
Former IU forward (2010-14) Will Sheehey joining Chris DeMarco’s staff with the New York Liberty. The two were together with the Golden State Warriors.
Former Fever player Kristen Mann also on staff.

@AnthonyRothman i was literally watching Top Gun on cable for like the 100th time late last night - swapping along with Tombstone on another channel (@BeauBishop knows what i’m talking about) … but i laughed yet again about the dog tag throw!
English
@CoachAdragna @AssemblyCall absolutely one of my favorite IU basketball moments
English
@BeauBishop it’s a far cry from when i lived in Tallahassee and spent some time in the facility as a kid … it’s a close community so we knew coaches and administrators
English
Some more here. Most impressive facility pro or college I’ve ever seen.
English
Some of the FSU facility stuff I was just talking about. Blew my mind.
English
@SuperStarSethB @insidethehall you are one of one … congrats … but you weren’t wrong
English
@IUDan95 @insidethehall Not everyone. I knew from hour one it was a terrible hire. Dude had no reason to be hired. Now even the RI people want him gone.
English
Brad Underwood is an outstanding coach and the Fighting Illini earned this. First Final Four appearance since 2005. Well done.
English
@SuperStarSethB @insidethehall understand that pretty much everyone thought Archie was an A+ hire at the time …
hindsight is always 20-20
English
@insidethehall Glass picked Archie over Underwood. What a disaster Glass and Miller were.
English
@insidethehall agree with this - i like the way they play and they are so tough minded
English
@AssemblyCall and Nowakowski was such a great addition - did all the little things that won games
English
@AssemblyCall if there is a player that embodies what this program has become it is Aidan Fisher - he was the heart and soul of our team the last 2 years and we will certainly miss him - looking forward to see who steps up to fill that void
English
Random #iufb thought after ingesting early spring reports:
I continue to have a feeling that on more than one occasion this season, we're going to lament how much we miss Aiden Fisher and Riley Nowakowski -- much more than casual IUFB observers will realize.
English
@971thefan @DegenerateTBone @ThePizzaHouseOH great work! We just had a pie tonight and it was … champion quality!
English
After 180+ nominations, 64 contenders, and weeks of chaos.....@ThePizzaHouseOH is your 2026 Pizza Madness Champion!

@GoodmanHoops i’m not sure why anyone listens to Stephen A on basically any topic at all
English
Yeah. Let’s listen to someone who doesn’t follow college basketball at all on the next UNC hire.
Also, someone may wanna let Stephen A., the track record of former NBA players coaching in college.
First Take@FirstTake
.@stephenasmith calls for @TheJetOnTNT to be North Carolina's next head coach? 👀🏀
English
@TheIndianaBison i love how Purdue talks shit but their hoops senior are .. what .. 5-4 vs IU … ok then
English
One of the saddest things I’ve seen in my life
stfu curt cignetti is speaking@hoosiercommish
Can’t wait for our Boilers to play tonight 🎉🎉🎊🥳
English
A former walk-on player who made his name only because of Oden and Conley should have carte blanche to talk out of his ass about Buckeye fans IMO.
/s
Buckeye basketball fans who have been following this team since the Jimmy Jackson era (or before), speak your mind.
JBook.@JBook_37
You either want Ohio State fans to be invested in the BB program or not. The program is fighting and clawing for any attention from fans. Talking shit about when any fan decides to tune is not it. Put a better, more consistent product on the court FANS will tune in earlier.
English
@JBook_37 It’s goes both ways. Home court atmosphere has been awful and yes it’s partially the team success fault but it’s hard to get top recruits and transfers when the Schott has a bottom 5 atmosphere in the Big Ten

@leathernec8k @dwcprodz LOL - if you’re taking him … that’s all you need to know
English
@dwcprodz Penn grad is the leader of the free world. Who you got?!!
English
Acting like Illinois isn’t a top ranked school for business and engineering is hilarious
There’s gotta be more Penn students working for Illinois grads
Yahoo Sports@YahooSports
Penn students were savage after the First Round loss to Illinois 🗣️
English
@PeanutChillman it doesn’t bother me because it’s totally ignorant - Illinois is an elite university
English
This isn’t savage. It’s distasteful. Penn students shifted to classism because their team lost a basketball game.
