Today’s game has meaning.

If you listened to Woodson this offseason, he is well aware that he face planted last year. Has mentioned how important getting off to a fast start is multiple times. He wants to win this game very badly. This is not an exhibition game to him.

I do not think he is going to be tinkering with lineups or running different “stuff”. Frankly, he is who he is and there is not gonna be much deviation from his plan.

One thing I have learned from Woodson, is that he does not change it up much. Goes with what he thinks gives him the best shot to win and is pretty set on that. We either are gonna show we can play today or it might be an oh shit moment.

Let’s see what ya got woody. There ain’t no next year. The train is locked and loaded let’s see if we are packing that bitch this year. All aboard!!!

Two of the crappier coaches in each conference with great payrolls.
No injuries on either side please. I'll take home Vols by 6. Hope its returned next season.

Hack off the top 10 rows or so of press box side, and build an end zone to end zone multilevel facility that includes a big press box and suites, and fill in any remaining space with whatever athletics related offices and meeting spaces they might need.

At the same time, hack off 10-15 rows from the top of the stands on the other side, and build an upper deck. At the top of the new lower bowl area on that side, and underneath the upper deck, build an enormous, entire length of the fields concourse area. That has elements that overlook the field. But have the upper deck angled in a way to look like there isn’t much gap between lower and upper decks.

Close off corners of south end zone better with some seats. End result of all this being a stadium with roughly 55-60k seats.

1 season of playing in the stadium while it’s under construction. Maybe a 40k seat capacity in that season, similar to what Vandy is doing.

I can picture this, it would look good. On the east side, may want to take off the top 35 rows so the open air area overlooking the field is about ground level. The upper and lower decks would be about the same size. I don't know how this would blend into the north endzone (it's possible to do it nicely) or the cost/ROI.

I believe it's cheaper to build suites on the east side since it's closer to the ground -- basically build up behind the existing stand like VA Tech or Wake Forest did, they have stands similar to our east/west stands. I think that's what's coming next, a poster said there were plans for this pre-2020.

Fun to think about.

This team is chasing a Big Ten and National Championship

T
A great team wins in a variety of ways and styles. Indiana exhibited this in yesterday's win over Washington.

Indiana looked to be very vanilla on offense because they were operating without Rourke at QB. They ran the ball 50 times while only attempting 19 passes! That's a very conservative game plan that obviously leaned on the offensive line to win the game.

We are chasing titles with this team and DO NOT undersell this team. Teams like this don't come around often at any school, not just Indiana.

BOWL PROJECTIONS (AFTER WEEK 9)

4
Just out of curiosity, if a team loses in the first round of the new CFP on the Dec 20th weekend, then are there no actual bowl opportunities for them? No additional practice time that used to be a perk, additional TV exposure, warm holiday venue rewards, bowl bling for the players, etc? If that is the case, I would think it hurts those programs. They lose a lot in my opinion. I know, I need to have a "go all the way" or get past the first round mentality but it still seems to hurt quite a few good teams in the long run.

Your honor, it was just a side distraction late at night while flipping through channels. Had I known I would run across a soccer match, I'd have never started channel surfing.

But.... well..... IU was playing and, you know.... uh.... I just couldn't help myself.

I throw myself on the mercy of the court.

The Godfather is a regular at Indiana Football games..usually holding court next to the bar in Henke Hall, similar to the card room at BCC. 😄

Todd is there some weeks, if they don't have games. Didn't see him yesterday...probably late flight back.

They're football fans.

Yup and Don Fischer just gained a listener for certain for MSU. BTN builds a network and brand but yet when 2 B1G programs meet in a pretty fine stadium and 1 team on a magnificent quest and they don't broadcast it. All those BTN channels laying there doing nothing because these Execs are some of the dumbest bastards to ever crap behind a pair of shoes. Astonishing. Why not enhance our $ value of a BTN subscription by keeping B1G games on BTN???

Rest in Peace Coach Knight . . .

Tammany Hall
It's pretty much consensus he was a great coach and a flawed person. It's obviously extremely common for humans to be flawed or complicated. There is nothing wrong with remembering the good side of RMK -- he was a great coach and positive influence for a lot of players. Every mention of him doesn't need to include a run-down of all of his faults and mistakes, everyone knows them.

Purdue Loses Exhibition

Purdue lost last year to Arkansas on the road in an exhibition, and they did not even make the tournament. Creighton is good, have a lot of shooters, and AA big man. Purdue is super young, and to go on the road and compete is a positive. Purdue has some talent, Painter will get them there. Jackobson, Cox, Burgess and Harris are going to be very! Purdue has the best guards in the conference.

Or maybe it’s as simple as Creighton had the audacity to actually guard Smith, and Loyer and TKR?

The good news is Memorial Stadium looks pretty good as-is and nothing major is needed. We are a long way from the days of the north and south endzones only having small bleachers. Yesterday, secondary market tickets were $35-45, which indicates we don't need a lot more seats. IMO, 1-2K extra seats (with great views) could cheaply be added in the lower corners and south endzone. When there is enough demand for more suites/premium seating, build it when there is a good ROI.

I agree ongoing renovations and upgrades make a lot of sense -- there are many things that can be improved. The challenge is the money used for the stadium could be used for players and staff, which is probably a better use in most situations, the stadium is only used around eight times per year. Almost all college stadiums are old with mostly bleacher seating.

Washington did a huge remodel to make their stadium (too) nice and comfy, but that has contributed to their athletic dept's pretty bad financial situation.

We should be using this moment to raise as much money as we can and get projects going ASAP, just want to make sure money allocated to the stadium has a good return for IUFB in the future.
