Often i've thought: "If only IU had names on jerseys and sold beer to spectators. Then they'd consistently make bowl games."
I have it on good authority (8 sources) that Fred has in fact provided Tom with not just 1 but, in fact, 2 bullets (both Hornady Critical Duty .45 Auto + P FlexLock 220 Grain [no expense was spared]), one for him and one for his OC...
He is expected however, to share a firearm with the basketball staff...

no yiu got that wrong. Archie has his own gun, Tom has to share with the other 22 teams
This thread is absolutely mind-numbing. Please god start the season so there is something meaningful to discuss.
Northwestern has a long history in football, most of
it is bad, but they seem to be doing alright.
When the football payroll ranks last in the B10
that screams Dollar Store.
Even my wife doesn't appreciate my humor...!
That's okay...
I laugh at my own jokes...
My problem with Fred Glass?
Our football program is 40-77 in his tenure.
Nice job Fred Rogers.

Do you show up for as many games as you're able to AND stay to the final snap no matter what the score?
If you don't you need to take a hard look in the mirror (as do many of us) because, in my opinion, you're a Big part of the problem.
Recruits see full stadiums versus 1/4 full stadiums and That Does Matter to them...
So every time you, me, and all the rest of us leave early or don't even bother to show up to fill "the Quarry" then We are the biggest part of the problem, in my opinion.
Amen IUScott I have said it time and time again the biggest reason we don’t get big time recruits is playing in front of empty seats is not enticing.
You guys do realize that no teams at IU in any sport have names on the jerseys right (I’m 99% sure of that...)? I really couldn’t care less about this either way, but just pointing out that this shouldn’t be a surprise.
For me, wtf cares, let’s play ball

I showed you the opinion of an actual player. I value his opinion much more than yours. That was my point.

You mean former player. If you play well enough to get recognized, people will figure out your name anyway. How many people in the stands can actually see the names on the player's jersey when they are on the field? Mostly depend on the announcer and jumbotron to point out the player's name anyway.
Here is my thing. Is the name being left off of the back of the jersey really a difference maker? We keep talking about what small difference it apparently "doesn't" make but what big difference DOES it make? To me, names or no names doesn't make the team better. The shtick that was applied to the nameless jerseys back when it was new and sentimental (pre WWII) has no application to today's teams. It doesn't make Alabama or Penn State any better because of no names. It's not a unique custom to anyone. It truly just makes it harder for fans to identify players early on.
It's true, IU has invested more in its football program over the last decade........but only because the money we've received has risen. With that said, it can be proven that when in comparison to larger programs, we are pretty much in the same place of investment as we were 2 decades ago.

I bet next year Fred will offer up a new tradition of everyone meeting up after the game at the soda shop for a root beer float. Maybe throw a few nickels into the juke box?
ha I guess he can place it wherever he thinks would best hold the Gameday sock hop.
Between no names on jerseys, single helmets, and a shared weight room, I don't see us winning another game EVER.
So, criticisms of various helmet designs are dismissed because “that’s what the players want”, but names on jerseys should merit no blowback, even from former players?
trolls who aren't even IU fans dominate this board more and more each day.
they aren't here just because they're board.
and they aren't going away on their own.

Let me get this straight...you think that there is a group of people that hates Indiana football so much that they sit around reading every silly post on this message board and coming up with trolling retorts to get us riled up and hurt our feelings? Dear Lord, if only OUR fans cared that much. We can't even show up to six flipping games, during the best weather we have all year, to watch us play in the most talented division in all of college football.
Mmmm, more like 4, plus one who probably is an IU fan at heart but just can't bring himself to say anything positive...
