It has always been the goal of the faithful IU football fans that the football program be on the same level as the basketball program. Well, in a prime example of being careful what you wish for, they have achieved their dream.
We don't go to bowl games; we don't make the NCAAT seven out of eleven years. But we've got a good, young coach who is getting his system in place and with a little patience we'll get there. We've got some good young talent coming in although we don't get the big stars the major teams get. But, we ought to roll in the pre-conference, beat all those on our level in the conference and then maybe we can sneak up on one of the big boys and knock them off.
Substitute IU basketball in there for IU football and it's all the same. Congratulations, Fred and you Administration fools, you've finally achieved the equality for which you've so desperately hungered. You had to bring basketball down to do it but, hey, whatever works, right?
So, as with football, we'll see discussions of starting line-ups and how the new, young additions will fill important roles. We'll see discussions of how we'll be strong after the pre-conference season readies us for the Big Ten battles. We'll see discussions about how eminently beatable most of the teams in the conference should be and how we'll feast on them. We'll then see discussions on how we'll surprise an Ohio State or Michigan football equivalent.
We'll then see the flame-out, the disappointment and the head-scratching about how things could have turned out so underwhelmingly.
Fred, results matter. And. You. Haven't. Gotten. It. Done. You and the Administration need to step aside and put a pro in place. This crap ain't workin'........
