    Michigan State/IU Prediction Thread

    They did put up more points against Rutgers than we did. Agree they have been really bad against good defenses, but, based on last week, I'm pretty sure we are not one of those types of teams. I don't have an exact prediction but I am guessing both team in the 20s.

    B1G Coaching Buyouts

    In my humble opinion, buy-outs to keep coaches from jumping schools means the cost to buy out for both parties need to be the same or at least coach buying out need to be very close to schools buyout. Having a buyout where the school has to pay $100 and the coach can buyout and leave for $20...

    Real difference between IU and Maryland

    Shuski, I know Mark and have been talking football with him for some time. Just don't want him to get a big head.

    Real difference between IU and Maryland

    Someone admires you MM? Well, I'll be. If that can happen, IU football can hope for miracles as well. :)

    Observations Akron Game

    Agree, boundary side options are usually numbers based. However, when the strength of your pitch guy is electric quickness and some speed, I think I might give him the open field side to see if, in that vast openness, he can make some guys miss and be gone before the rest of the defense can...

    Recruiting Class of 2020

    I still think it is an issue if you swing and miss on 85% of your class (75% if you don't count the two that went to other Power 5s, presuming these were not misses but solid players moving laterally). I suspect many graduate prior to the last year of eligibility, but to me that is not the...

    Recruiting Class of 2020

    Three of twenty is surprising and is hard to feel good about. We can blame it on the portal, but I believe only two of the guys from that class that entered the portal are now with a power five school (Keys and Banner, please correct me if I am wrong). IMHO this does not reflect well for our...

    We have some pretty exciting transfers on campus right now.

    Not sure how Kookie saying he didn't think Bell did a bad job last year is negative. There may be concerns about attitude, but performance was not the issue. I suppose there are some on both boards who have concerns about Bell and there may be more than a few that laughed at a certain...

    UM facing Up to $1 billion financial

    Yes, I noticed that. The quote "I had heard the IU BOT had projected a potential loss in the same range." implies an actual projection, not an implied projection based upon a general borrowing authorization. I am unaware of any such actual projection. I have a home equity line with a...

    UM facing Up to $1 billion financial

    I thought the UM projection includes more than athletics. Also, I can not find anything in a brief search that suggest IU has projected that loss (there was authority given to borrow up to that amount). Do you have a source that IU is predicting total losses to be $1 billion? Any breakdown as...

    IU must beat Purdue on October 30!!

    Good lord. I hope this was a DWS that was not referenced. We have 7 wins.

    Thomas Allen Jr. out for year

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Been on this board since early 2000s and this might be the silliest post I have ever read. To remain sane, I am going to assume there is a missing "dws" at the end of this.

    IU/MSU Prediction Thread

    I didn't think I suggested we win every game in which we are underdogs nor did I suggest we need major upsets. My point is simply we will likely be underdogs is all but a few games (depending on how next few games go) and we need to win some of them. Winning only the games you should (which I...

    IU/MSU Prediction Thread

    Maybe or maybe not, but we can't move this program forward just winning should win games (unless the whole conference suddenly tanks). We need to win some games we enter as an underdog and do that soon.

    IU/MSU Prediction Thread

    The sky will not fall if we lose this game and I will, by no means, act surprised. I will be openly disappointed and possibly angry if we are not somewhat competitive. I was not upset about the OSU loss, I was upset about our competitiveness, or total lack thereof.

    Penix will practice this week.

    He coached tackles and TE at UM in a bizarre o-line arrangement. Drevno coached o-line and was OC. According to a Detroit New article of January 2, 2018, "The offensive line has been the issue for several years, even before Harbaugh’s arrival. This season, Michigan ranked 91st nationally in...

    Penix will practice this week.

    I was unaware he was fired at Michigan. I thought he left to head to FSU, where he had played. Can't find anything to say Michigan fired him. Also, being fired by Taggart should not be viewed negatively, but rather it is looking more like a badge of honor. Taggart has not impressed, as far...

    Marcelino Ball Sighting?

    If anyone has an actual idea regarding my question, please share. Never seen this at IU.

    Marcelino Ball Sighting?

    Along this line, anybody know why, when the team went in after warmup before the game, Ball stayed at the corner of the endzone taking a knee? Seemed strange.

    Penix will practice this week.

    Bottom line to me is this: Penix has a stronger and "overall" more accurate arm. Let me explain. Not sure anyone can argue that PR has greater arm strength than Penix. That strength adds to accuracy for middle to deep throws. I have been preaching for months that arm strength is not just...
