After the 2012 terrible officiating call in that game on the sideline pass to set up the BSU FG I saw parallels in today's game...until the second series.
I screamed until I couldn't speak at that game in 2012 letting out the many years of frustration as a season ticket holder since the age of 14. Everything from bad coaching, poor officiating and players that had no chance to make the big plays escaped my gut that day and I haven't been to a game since. Well, my position doesn't usually have Saturday off so that could have something to do with it.
Today, I saw a coach that knows how to run a team, players that are light years beyond that team in 2012 and depth that I feel IU has not had in years at several positions. I did still see bad officiating on holds that were called in only one direction, but I digress.
I know that next week will truly be the measuring stick of how real this team is. I want to see this group become the team that began the change from hope to win into confident in our chances.
3 and 0. Enjoy it! Beat MSU!
