Go look at Purdue’s facility. Look at their players lounge.
How about we wait till our new locker room and new players lounge is finished and no mention of it being scaled back and also a football training area
Why do you believe IU is satisfied with retaining the lowest paid head coach and staff in the Big10?
I have been in both sets of facilities...stadiums, training, and student athlete development center (which only IU has). Purdue has nothing facilities-wise to negatively recruit against IU. IU is still substantially ahead in the "race" , but obviously PU will have to address the gap before to long. Anyone who says otherwise is either a PU troll, stirring up bs or simply ignorant.
He posts on GBI by one of his old names here...IUDanapoint claiming that I am actually him. Delusional and mentally owned. Just ignore him.
I don’t give crap about the Purdue football building or locker room or stadium. Nobody does, with the exception of a few mamas boys who think they are so special they cant be around other athletes, and dummies who fall for a stupid sales pitch about “look, we care, IU doesn’t, come here and we’ll wrap you in fine Corinthian leather.”
If a player and his family decide he is too good to come to IU because of our allegedly crappy facilities - good riddance. Can’t leave fast enough. Take your mommy and your mirrors with ya. You’re soft. We don’t want ya. The things you think are important, aren’t. We want football players, not pampered children. Go to Purdue and tell the girls there how much important you are than any other team.
Some people will fall for anything.
Some people only bitch when they breathe.
I got a game to get ready for.
POTFB.
A huge IU fan and alum who would like to see a winning program. To that end, Iu needs to go above and beyond what other schools are doing in every aspect of football if they want to overcome decades of futility. This includes facilities, which are in the bottom third of the BiG 10. Ask recruits, their parents and coaches, who will confirm this or, if you’re able, tour Purdue’s new facilities, which clearly are superior. Read the Mike Pegram interview with Gerry DiNardo, who recently visited every Big 10 campus, including PU.
Perhaps this is why IU’s Recruiting continues to lag well behind nearly all of their conference foes.
Not true believe in what we have built Also why did De Rhea and David Ballou and The Tampa area offense and defense player of the year come to such a poor program
Which Big 10 campuses and football complexes have you visited? And those players, while very good, weren’t the O and D Players of the Year in Tampa.
So what recruits did you talk to and can you show us all of these interviews where recruits have said these things about our facility.
To be fair to you, Penix and Miller were the Tampa Bay Times choices for Hillsborough County, which comprises part of the Tampa Bay Area. So you were partially, if not fully, correct.
I would never name players or coaches but would say that they mentioned this at IU’s summer camps.
Did you see the stupid railroad tracks Purdue put down as their lines defining the team area?
They’re a laughingstock.
“Purdue pulls trains”
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Your team sucks.
I hope Northwestern beats them and clogs the toilets in the Purdue Football Special Place.
Keep posting Larry.
I need you to keep posting.
“IU recruiting continues to lag ...”
Who told you that? DiNardo? Other geeks who write about football?
I suspect you are Ducati.
You may be able to argue somethings with me but when it comes to Florida High school football you will have some trouble. I have coached for a very long time. I have met many college coaches and coached many players that have played at all levels. When not coaching I attend games all the way up to state finals also attend college games at all levels since my brother coached at a highly successful NAOA program in Indiana for 16 years and is now at a Division 3 school in Michigan.
Also in one of the other threads or perhaps it was this thread it stated that the ne Nortwestern was a shared facility as is Wisconsin and I Forgot the others how do you respond to that
I’ve always found the scoreboard to be an excellent arbiter of recruiter success or failure.
While technically shared, both NU and UW are heavily football centric facilities, and those programs are already well ahead of IU anyway. Should IU expect to have to do “more” if they want to ascend to the level of those programs?
Recruiting at Ole Miss probably isn’t a feather in anyone’s cap these days, especially while TA was there.
The facilities are in Memorial Stadium how much more football centric can you get. They are not on the new volleyball/wrestling arena
You should go ahead switch over to the Purdue board and jump on the bandwagon. They have the best facilities in the world and the best coach and the top ranked recruiting class in the country and will be competing in the playoffs this year.
And tell Dale Williams to stop badmouthing IUs lowly facilities. Oh wait never mind o will see in a about a month.
His decision to retain Tom Crean for the better part of a decade contradicts this statement.
He's already there. Posts under Kern Co and Danapoint
We whipped you 4 out of the last 5
And if Ramsey had not been hurt, it woulda been 5 in a row.
Scoreboard, Boilie.
That’s likely a key difference. You’re focused only on beating our rival while I and a few others are focused on what it takes to build a winning program.
No, but they and the rest of the Big 10 have better football facilities than IU, and that’s an issue for a program with an unprecedented history of futility. Why not aspire to doing what it takes to become one of the winners, rather than accepting losing?
To all legitimate IU fans on this forum I apologize for falling victim to these one trick pony trolls who do nothing but claim they are IU fans but nothing but bash IU football over and over and over again and I was stupid enough to engage. I am truly sorry. I know most of you probably come on for the same reason as I do to find out what is up in Bloomington. So I will not indulge these trolls any further and will let them continue their useless dribble. In the meantime kudos to Fred Glass for all he does for IU athletes and Go Hoosiers!!
