Dawkins Gone

I said at the time he was being recruited that I hoped he went somewhere else. We lost Tronti and Dawkins was never going to be what they wanted him to be.
I think Tronti's decision to leave had more to do with Penix surpassing him in the spring, than Dawkins' transfer. Dawkins' transfer probably pushed the decision over the edge, but I suspect that even without Dawkins, there was probably less than a 10% chance that Tronti would still be here
I guess we will never know. My whole poi t in all this is Dawkins was always going to be a run around behind the line and maybe take off, maybe throw a long TD, or a pick. Allen slammed the door hard on him a week before the season and more or less said you are not playing QB here. We might run some packages. Hope it works out but if it doesn't stay rubber side up he will have to own it.
So, to summarize.....you respond earlier "Ask Purdue" in response to something where no query was even posed.
I then ask you what we are supposed to ask Purdue, and *this* is your response? A statement someone else said, and an irrelevant and already known fact from 2017?
That's a very strong contribution for you on this message board; might wanna grab some bench and sit out for a while.
A comment was made about U of A struggling to compete in the BiG 10 East, where IU plays. I merely pointed out Purdue as a common opponent of (and victor over) both teams. It shouldn’t have been such a difficult thing for you to comprehend.
If you're going to continue to post about IU and the conference, there's something you should know. The abbreviation/logo for the conference is not "BiG 10," which you repeatedly reference. It's "B1G." The second character is the number 1. Kind of looks like B10. And the division we're in is the B1G East. Of course, "Big Ten" and "Big Ten East" still work if you want to fully spell them out, but alternating upper case with lower case letters is simply wrong. In other words, it's not "BiG."
P.S. Glad to see, too, that you're finally spelling our starting QB's name correctly as "Ramsey" instead of "Ramsay."
Dude, it makes no sense. Purdue did beat both teams last year. Purdue lost to Rutgers, who we pounded. How does this common opponent thing tie into your claims that Arizona is vastly superior than IU? I’m not following here this circular logic.
Relax....and look forward, not back.
Dude, where did I claim Arizona was “vastly superior to IU”? Please show me that post.
My apologies....that was from your minion fpeaugh. I confuse the two of you sometimes.
All that was missing was a mention of Finite math.... we do seem to find ourselves on this side more times than not....
It involves pumpkins and microfiche

I guess IU is not the only big ten school that had a QB leave after not being named the starter.

My thought on redshirt. Play Ramsey as long as you can. Hopefully until the last 4 games. Then play Penix as much as you can for experience. This keeps redshirt still in play.
You play whomever gives you the best chance to win. You don’t take a single chance of losing one more game for the hope of having a QB in 5 years. A lot can happen between now and then.
I think you have to get your #2 guy ready and play him without concern over his redshirt status. If there’s even a chance you’ll need him, you have to get him on the field.
Ummm...errrr...just between me and you...I HATE that logo. I know I know...get over it....I tried...but I cant..I just cant. Sooooo I keep writing B10 for pure subborness...no offense intended to anyone or IU. The Big 10 well that's another subject...vbg
Reminds me a bit of Leaders and Legends except that B1G is completely meaningless whereas L&L was just stupid.
Their wins since Rich Rod has been there:
8, 8, 10, 7, 3, 7
Our wins the last 6 years:
4, 5, 4, 6, 6, 5
Would you say one is superior to the other? I mean come on...there are crimson glasses and then there’s just being unreasonable.
I don't think it makes any difference whatsoever. Dude can't throw. Never could, that's why he was benched at Arizona. Really don't know why we accepted his transfer, to be honest. Perhaps there was a thought that something in his delivery could be tweaked, idk, but his arm is worse than Ramsey's, which unfortunately, is saying something. Losing Ellison hurts. This doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, we're better off with Reese Taylor at #3. At least he might have potential, & he can certainly execute any running packages as well as Dawkins could have, imo anyway.

This is where I'm confused: when/where was he advertised to be anything more than what he is? That's a serious question, because as soon as he was announced as transferring here, I watched many games of his on youtube(as any self respecting 21st century IUFB fan should)& immediately noticed that Dawkins has a terrible arm. So, my expectations all along have been for Dawkins to perhaps run a limited run based package as a change of pace QB. If that. This news is a footnote at best. Sorry to be so..harsh, snarky even, but there's no reason people should have had higher expectations of Dawkins. Well, not a good reason, anyway.
I don't know...every time I see that new logo I read it as PIG...not B1G...you know, old eyes and all...vbg. Man I hated that POS the first time I saw it. How far we've fallen in everything but revenue!
Fpeaugh brings knowledgeable balance to the board without the trolling, personal attacks and lies. He has actually been on campus and wants IU to get better. He has not been banned 30 times and lie about even that. There is no confusion.
Yes will need to get Penix some real time game reps early on in order for him to have some degree of comfort if called upon due to injury. He is our #2 and needs to be ready roll.
Thanks for confirming that your contribution was completely pointless, and leaving zero doubt to anyone that your mind operates at a third grade level.
Here's another fact that is around your level, that's just as relevant to this discussion: The names Arizona and Purdue both contain an 'r'.

I’m sorry it was beyond your comprehension and I’ll keep that in mind for future posts.
