I get to NY once a year for a couple shows and Napa is the only place I will go in CA and kinda burned out on that. Pretty sure I will never see another game at psu or my first at Rutger, usc or ucla. Have no interest in going back to Ahia or Minny but will likely see a game or two in all the rest. Almost always go to the bucket game in Laffy.
Hoosiers travel extremely well for basketball! There will be a lot of Hoosier fans there - I already have my airfare and lodging.
I’m sure we’ll be well represented, but Atlanta is overflowing with Auburn grads and fans.
IMO a restructured conference can give IU a chance to fix its FB program but it won’t happen without spending more money too—renovating or replacing Mellencamp ASAP, possibly adding “real” suites to the East stands (maybe 7-10 years down the road?), and conceivably even having to hire a new coaching staff in the near future (unfortunately).
What is ridiculous about it?
Reports I have read say there are a number of Hoosier Alumni there so you are wrong about me.
There are Hoosiers everywhere. That isn’t the point.
I have said all along that rev sharing will be on the table soon. That will change the game again.
This is good neutural site game. Also gives a lot of IU fans in the SE a chance to see the Hoosiers in person.
At least one of the teams, Auburn, was playing in its home state. Pennsylvania and Indiana playing in Maryland..... Hmmm ..
I enjoyed watching IU in an NFL venue, with the Smithsonian and other DC places to surround the game. Great trip. We played OK - had a shot. Down 17-14 at half and down 31-24 at end of 3. Fell off in 4th due to depth. (PSU kept the ball for 10:37 of the 4th quarter. Chappell was as good as McGloin. We actually averaged more YPC (4.3 vs. 4.1) than PSU - with Trea Burgess as the starter!
I’d go to a road trip to Miami in November, if that ever worked out to bring them into B10.
Did you believe this in 2019 or 2020 when we had a very good OC [2019] and a very good DC [2019 - 2020]. So much of being good in B1G East is having very good assistant coaches and those two seasons proved that.
It was far more complex than simply the contributions of two coaches, as we’ve discussed here previously.
No one claimed the contributions of the OC and DC were overrated, only that there was much more to the success of those seasons (as well as the subsequent steep fall we’ve experienced since that time) than simply those two individuals. I think even the most casual of fans can understand that.
You're still dying on this hill??
Did you forget? 2020 was a fluke since IU was the only team in the nation not affected by covid. We learned that here time and again from two "different" sources.
Yes, those posters didn't want to admit IU did better than the other schools in 2020. I guess it was hard for some to admit IU coach managed 2020 better than the other schools. Coach Allen has had a tough time getting the right coordinators since DeBoer [of course he recommended Sheridan to coach] and coach Wommack; I hope he has the right ones this year.
Coach G is new this year and will call defenses, Bell is the same but has a different OL coach so we will see if Bell can run an offense that controls the ball and scores a lot of points.
I’ve actually said our coaches managed our approach better than did others while making The most of our known advantages during that season. For some reason, people think that’s a negative, which it obviously is not. We caught lightning in a bottle, but that’s not easy to do, as we’ve seen recently.
It is only one, just two different names. The purdue fans were triggered by our success to the point they made up stories about IU not being affected by covid and that we faked our way out of the Bucket game.
I think you're underestimating Lynch as OC. He was pretty good, considering his situation.
I agree with this. Lost all momentum with the Hep situation. Hep was the right guy.
Yes, Hep was perfect for IU. He would have stayed at IU forever.
He had two low classes in seniors and juniors to deal with from coach Wilson as he couldn't pull in players due to reports of what Wilson did to injured players. You just hate coach Allen and the two bad years were due to coaches he pulled in but told coaches to find new jobs. Those coaches weren't very good for players that started and pushed to the sidelines and they transfered.
My mother-in-law had it about 3 years after Hep.
