Couple of weeks ago it was “ the heat…my God, the heat “ Now its “cold and rain” I guess thats why Indiana is more of a basketball state
I hope the fans that left early are barred from ever attending a game in any sport at IU ever again.

The image conjured up by "we left that turd in our rear-view mirror" is pretty funny.
re: "utterly defeated"........I think the worst image for me was our guys bouncing off Henderson like he was Bronko Nagurski as he was headed to the end zone.........
Circumstances have allowed me to attend only one game this year in person.....Idaho.
I was very surprised by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd at that game, especially the students. It was bittersweet, because it was clear from Iowa & that game that this team had been over-hyped. Despite that, the crowd showed up big for the Cincy game and helped the team grab that 14-0 lead.
So I agree that the fans deserve 0% blame for what has turned out to be a debacle of a season.
I think it will a while before this fan base approaches another season with this much enthusiasm.
We got crushed 34-6 at Iowa. Purdue won there 24-7. What more do you need?
Don’t even get me started on the abuse we took from a very average Penn st team.
They were top 5 in the country with a healthy Clifford, won at Wisconsin, beat Auburn, beat the MAC Champions by 31, and got up 14-3 in Iowa City.
Another example of how much losing your starting QB hurts your team.
They just lost to Illinois with Clifford. Wisconsin and Auburn are not good teams. They’re fringe top 25 in reality.
Clifford was clearly not fully healthy and didn't look at all like himself against Illinois, that doesn't excuse the loss to Illinois but it's important to note that part of the reason for the PSU offense's struggles was because Clifford wasn't healthy and despite their defenses awful performance against Illinois's run game, they still probably would've won if Clifford were at 100%.
You said we are being “mercilessly crushed EVERY week” , simply false, what more do you need ? Purdue was ”crushed” at home by a Wisconsin team you say is not good , what more do you need ?
You can dream up all the excuses you want but the bottom line is they’re just not very good.
I literally said that doesn't excuse their loss, it's just giving full context to the loss, you've got to at least try to seem objective.
You and the Ohio State fans, probably. The IU players were probably glad 50,000 people didn't stay and watch that result. What counts is who was there at kickoff, and home attendance has been excellent this year, especially considering that we're 2-5. I think a lot of that was enthusiasm left over from last season. So we will see what happens next year.
LOL, you mean like Billy Donovan is in town ? If you are going to come on here and make statements like we are being “mercilessly crushed EVERY week”, be prepared to back it up. Losing 20-15 to the #9 ranked team is far from a merciless crushing, in fact, we should have won, same with Cincy. For sure , this has not be what anyone expected, and there are issues to be addressed, but quit being your usual self and making things up.
Ok fine. Iowa, Penn St, and OSU took us behind a woodshed and beat us unrecognizable. Some would consider it an assault. And only one of those teams are very good. Then almost lost to WKU who is not very good.
I will concede that if you’re into moral victories and participation ribbons we kept it close against MSU and Cincinnati. Is that a softer way of putting it?
Assault ? Lol, drama queen, not sure why you spend so much time here telling everyone how awful things are, seriously, one would think you would find better things to do with your time.
An apology means one is remourseful for their actions(Which clearly you aren't. You seem to be sorry for other's reactions)& it doesn't forgive or mitigate the action for which one apologizes. Translation: just because you say "sorry" doesn't magically put the issue to bed, & if you truly were sorry you wouldn't be getting defensive & throwing s#!+ back at others like, "I'm sure you've said things you regret". They'll get theirs when & if they say dumb @$%^. Anyway, I'm no saint, I say dumb sh@$, but the way you reacted to their reactions is just...I couldn't refrain, I'm sorry(no pun intended).
