    Just Curious ...

    There may be opportunity for a new press box and suites. However, I think the athletic department would be better off building a marketing plan to fill the 15,000 consistently empty seats at the stadium. The return available for filling those empty seats is much greater than suites. They would...

    Dear Coach Cig, AD and IU

    Replays are a pet peeve of mine over the past 3-4 years… Show more replays. Get professionals to run the replays…so they start at the beginning of the play. Quit running replays that start 2-3 seconds after the play starts. Get better camera angles fo replays.

    Dakich canned!

    We were driving through Indy at noon & listened to the first 20 minutes of his show. He went on a rant about Brittany Griner, happy about her release, but expressing dissatisfaction that Paul Whelan and other detainees were left behind. From there he went on to call the current President weak...

    Recruiting Depth

    While watching Peyton Ramsey & Northwestern it struck me, how deep our recruiting has become, specifically at QB. Last year’s starter is leading NW, Our starter was injured and our backup came in to lead a victory at Wisconsin. Too many seasons past have fallen apart because of an injury to a...

    Just watched...

    Some conferences experimented with the 3 pointer. The BIG tried it in 1982 - 83. Ted Kitchel & Randy Wittman took advantage of the shot. I could not find when the SEC tried the experiment. Maybe the line was left from the experiment.

    Throwback Question for Old Timers

    His father was Bob Wilbur, longtime Ben Davis coach. The punt return involved him initially picking his way through the return coverage and finally breaking free the last 30 yards or so. He was an instinctive player with a great nose for the ball.

    Out of conference schedule

    In addition, the conference power grab/expansions may have increased the monetary rewards as conference TV has grown, It has led to a smaller group of top teams in each conference.

    Out of conference schedule

    There are several issues that have led to what are now watered down football and basketball schedules. FB schedules contained two P5 opponents and a Mac opponent as late as 2004. The scheduling problem exists across all levels of D1 FB. Alabama has Western Carolina on its schedule. They have...

    Out of conference schedule

    I was at the USC game also. There were fewer than 50,000, probably 45,000 - 47,000. That was about the base back then. It is a fallacy to think that scheduling top 20 teams is going to attract many fans. IU needs to cultivate its fan base and attendance. The current scheduling approach is the...
