    Last Call to spew any venom directed towards the 2021 season and all involved...

    True. Exception rather than the rule. Will be interesting to see how the next couple go.

    Last Call to spew any venom directed towards the 2021 season and all involved...

    Fitz has had two 3-win seasons, and one 4-win season in his 16 as head coach. Not exactly regular and, yes, he has demonstrated the ability to sustain the program.

    OT 181-79

    As they say…there are two kinds of coaches: those that have been fired and those that will be fired.

    How do you think an Indiana win would look if it happened tomorrow?

    Probably something like this… Seriously, I think the defense is capable of putting together an effort good enough to pull off the upset. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t be able to score enough by themselves to get it done. I just don’t see the offense clicking for 4 quarters, which is what it...

    Big Game Coaches

    Needless to say, PSU was extremely overrated to start 2020. Regarding last year’s game, I’ve always viewed it as PSU losing it much more than us winning it. If their back takes a knee instead of scoring, the game is over.

    Official Score Prediction Thread INDIANA vs Idaho

    6 safeties is a bit much to ask of the defense, don’t you think? TIC I’ll go with 30-17 IU.

    Attendance

    I get tired of the same excuses, apparently some don’t. Instead of complaining for the sake of complaining, actually take a look at the data. Do you really think we’d be in a different place, as a program, playing in the West? Who do we jump? We have beaten the bottom feeders when they are...

    Attendance

    One thing we never run out of here is excuses. Critical injuries (2017)...Purdue beat us with an ACL-deficit back-up QB. We aren't the only team with a tough stretch of schedule and as for the "so badly fatigued" claim...the 3 weeks leading up to the Bucket, we had a bye followed by games...

    Welcome Jalen Williams!!! (FL) TE

    I'm guessing it is due to their player ratings resulting in PU having a much more balanced class, whereas IU's looks more top-heavy. For example, PU has twice as many players at, or above 85; IU has twice as many 83 or below.

    Welcome Jalen Williams!!! (FL) TE

    Rivals still has 2 PU commits with no rating. Their class ranking of 38th is essentially for the other 14 commits. If Rivals gives them comparable ratings as the other services, both will end up mid-3* .

    2-22/29-22 . . . 31 and 44 overall . . .

    A deeper breakdown puts us at 17-6 in the non-conference and 12-15 against the rest of our B10 schedule. 9 of those 12 wins are against ILL, PU, and RU. This doesn't exactly demonstrate that the B10 East schedule is our only issue. I wish we could get past that excuse. One upset would get us...

    Two Months 'Til Opening Day: What Do you Think?

    IMO, it's not the least bit comforting to know that we were not favored in either game despite having the advantage in talent. If anything, it's like salt in the wound. In 2017, we were coming off of back-to-back bowls while Purdue was fresh off the worst 4-year stretch in their history.

    Two Months 'Til Opening Day: What Do you Think?

    There will always be excuses. In 2017, Blough was out with a broken ankle and Sindelar was in his 3rd game playing on a torn ACL. Frankly, we just didn't get it done.

    Wouldn't you know it?

    Those numbers are comparable to Morgan's, and they are a a much tougher team with him.

    Looking back at IU football history

    Allen is 1-5 against the cupcake West. Thank goodness for ILL.

    Something that is amazing.

    While there are a lot of things to like, IMO the jury is still out on Allen. This year's recruiting class (#37) looks good on paper. Too many seem to have forgotten that Wilson brought in back-to-back classes ranked #38. Rankings are fun for fans, but once on campus, those recruits have to...

    Hmm...Sanguinetti is a nice get.....

    I'm right there with you. I think the early signing day makes this one a little "meh" unless there is a big fish you're waiting on, or a big surprise. Otherwise, the class was pretty well wrapped up in December. I'm a big fan of the early signing day, though, as I think it gives the 2nd/3rd...

    Recruiting team rankings

    As popular as this excuse is, the fact remains that IU hasn't fared much better against the West than we have the East. Over the past 10 seasons, IU has exactly 1 win against a West opponent not named Illinois or Purdue. Until the coaching staff can pull an upset or two, it really doesn't...
