Ok. So, if you had a Football God come to you, and he offers you a deal. “IU football will go 7-5 every season for the next 20 years” as a guarantee, but they won’t win any more or less than that(Bowl Game outcome notwithstanding) , would you take that deal?
Hypothetical
- Thread starter fkfootball
- Start date
No. My hope is that in a few years 7-5 will become a base line.
Depends. Do we win the Bucket every year?
incredibly boring season, but i'd win a fortune betting on the last game of the yr every yr.
Nope. I'd rather have an amazing season every once in a while, which I hope actually happens before I leave the planet.
Go Hoosiers!
I think a deal similar to this may have been struck around 1967...only it was for the Rose bowl and apparently 50 years of bad luck....
NO to both scenarios. There is no reason to settle for good seasons when the coaches and players strive for championships.
Football god, "You sure? Not counting a bowl victory, the team has won 7 games or more only 8 times in 130 years And, has done so once in 25 years."
If we have to make this kind of deal with the football god, why can't we get the same deal Northwestern made with him 15 or 20 years ago? Of course there is always the possibility that they made their deal with the devil.
If that 20 years included a losing record against Purdue and no wins against OSU/Mich, definitely a hard no,
Now if that 20 years were dominant against Purdue (14+ wins) and included 7-8 total wins against OSU/Mich, still might be a no, but boy, that definitely would be hard to pass up
Next 20? No.
Next 5? Definitely. As a way to set a solid foundation and get the extra work in that comes with bowl games.
One national championship by 2023 followed by 20 years in the desert? I mean, I feel like I've spent 20 years in the desert with this program already. I might take that one.
