That might have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

I feel like a complete fool just for having cheered for a team up 52-27. This game teaches me to never care again.
We changed our offensive tempo and didnt play to win but played not to lose. This is on the coaches
Couldn't disagree more. Throwing two passes that got picked was aggressive. And stupid.
The game turned on the bad snap. That can't happen.

One coach rallied his team from a 25 point deficit on the road...the other coach blew a 25 point lead at home...it comes down to coaching, fellas, and Kevin Wilson is not a good one...
Doug I agree about Toth and the snap but we played slower and more methodical on offense imo once we were up by 20+. Toth has to fall on that and not try to pick it up.
Did we have any timeouts left? If so why didnt we try to ice their kicker?
Most disappointing loss in a long time. I generally dont get to pissed about it but this game has me really irritated

Could not run the ball when we needed to is what it came down to. Then the comedy of errors kicked in.
Pass for show, run for dough. When you're up 19, you run the ball, take time, and don't throw stupid interceptions to put your so-called defense right back on the field.
All Wilson knows how to do is a quick-strike offense. He's not well-versed in time situations. Having a four-minute drive can be a very effective weapon. Having several could have iced this game (even if they don't produce a score). Having drives that take a minute or less (even if they produce a score) hurts you because you march a tired defense that's not that good to begin with right back on the field.
The whole team gets credit for this choke--the scheme and the execution. And right now, I'm in favor of the team's execution. It's now officially hoops season.

Maybe, but as a Rutgers fan, our message board was having a meltdown as we saw our team give up 4 TDs in a 10 minute stretch, saw our best player get hurt. Even on the final drive, our fanbase, myself included, questioned our staff playing for a FG.
I'm not going to judge your coach, but I can definitely understand how you guys feel.
Glass was at Henke Hall spending most of the second half playing with his grand daughter....hope he heard all of the alumni screaming about how many bad coaching decisions that we all were watching....
Get off our board if you're not going to bash Kevin Wilson...jk...
Screw icing the kicker, call it with 15 seconds after the 3rd down play and force them to kick off and give us time for a return and a play. Odds are still do not get the W, but give it a chance, as the MSU game showed any thing can happen in the last 10 seconds!
I've been an IU fan for 50 years. I've seen IU basketball and football at it's best - yes IU was respectable in football once upon a time.
I've been a premium member of this board and it's predecessors for 20 years and a season ticket holder.
In the last ten years, I've given up my premium membership, my season tickets and cable - hence my access to IU football and basketball on TV and haven't been to a game in ages.
This year, I paid for access to TV so I could catch some games on TV, thinking maybe this year it might be different.
I am officially an idiot.
Oh. Well.

Go ahead and judge him. If I were an opposing coach or fan, I'd want him retained.
I feel your pain, drose. Right now I kinda feel like I deserve the abuse because I bothered to care. It will take some deprogramming of some deep-seated IU affections, but I'm gonna try real hard to no longer care.
Besides, it has gotten tiresome rooting for the program that has more losses than any other in college history (with the 10th worst winning - eh, losing - percentage). And with about half the teams in FBS going to bowl games every year, I'm almost convince that IU's ineptness is intentional.

Time to get off the boards and drink. At least we're not UM fan tonight. Was that epic or what?
They did that earlier in the year when they had Howard in the back field. Redding is unable to get you a yard or two in tough situations does not keeping driving and goes down usually on first contact.
I'm convinced that a half dozen coaches in the Indiana high school ranks could have protected a 25 point lead last night.
Wilson?
That guy has the game instinct of Elmer Fudd.
