They don't how to finish games. Why would they? They're 4- stinking 0. This hasn't happened since I was in 1st grade. Let's enjoy it, even if it got real ugly.
We were up 31-10 in the 4th and let up at the end. I don't like that either, but don't act like that doesn't happen to every team. I like road wins.
By the way, OSU beat NIU 20-13 at home last week. By your logic, next week will be the worst game in the history of the sport.
Relax. Some of us just want to talk about the game, okay? Not sure why you get so upset about that.
Because simply declaring that OSU will be ugly after this game, when OSU had even more of a struggle with a worse team last week isn't my idea of solid discussion.
"A worse team"? Wow. Like I said, some of us want to talk about football. If you don't, that's fine.
Northern Illinois lost to BC today. They aren't bad, but OSU "should've" crushed them.
What good is your continual whining about it and any other opinion that you deem critical? Why not share your opinion and let others have their's?
Folks - that PI was bogus and BOGUS.
You cannot put the defense out continually CONTINUALLY asking them to bail out.
Offense: Up 21 with 6 to play.
Don't take continual penalties to put you behind the chains. Don't leave points on the field in the 1st half. Nate Sudfeld - make some plays occasionally? He hurt us today, ALOT!

When you post in multiple threads in response to anything you consider critical . . .
Just don't respond if you don't want to discuss the game.
That was on the staff folks. Went too conservative too early on O and prevent on D. Hinton made some incredible throws though.
Go Away! Really they just won and are 4-0 but your contribution to the board is the OSU game is going to be ugly.
6 times in IU football history have we started a season 4-0. I am not sure what some people really expect from this program. We may be 2 passes from 2-2, but we aren't. We have been 2 plays from 4 -0 a few times. RB889 is on here a lot trying to bring a little common sense to these discussions, unfortunately he and others get drowned out.
Saying the OSU game is going to be ugly is not discussing football. It's BS garbage from someone with a spiteful agenda. End of story.
If no one responded to opinions they don't like, it wouldn't be much of a discussion board, now would it?
I think the Ohio State game about a 30% chance of being a close game. IU will have to win the turnover battle and have a great kicking game. And IU will have to be able to run the ball like they did today.
It's a shame the way the game ended gives all the nay sayers and pundits on espn ammunition. After the pick six we just shut it down. I don't think it really means anything going forward.
What's it to you? If you don't like RBB taking things personally, just ignore him.
Besides, his reply was ten times as substantive as the original garbage post.
It will be incredibly difficult to run the ball effectively against the Ohio State. Their front seven is really athletic. IU will obviously need to throw it well to win, and they'll need to do it between the hash marks, which Wilson doesn't seem comfortable doing. Hope it's a good game and that they can compete.
I like to be able to discuss football after the game, something that RBB seems to not favor. And since the mods don't seem to support football discussion to any real degree, it is occasionally necessary to explain what some of us are trying to do. And if the original post was "garbage", one would assume that moderators would address it, rather than allowing the thread to deteriorate. Hope that answers your question.
Over the last few years I think a large number of people left this board because because they were viewed as being too negative. I got a 3-week "time-out" last year and I never made a personal attack on a poster or a player. But I was very critical of the schedule philosophy. Remember how many people were upset because the Hoosiers were playing Missouri? I think the moderators are being a lot more sensible this year. And I imagine that some of the posters will come back if they are allowed to express their opinions. Pessimism is not a sin. It is ironic that many of the personal attacks are being made by those who are the most optimistic IU supporters.
I'll take 4-0 with a relatively healthy team coming out of the game. IU blew the onside kick. They won't do that again. The last Wake Forest drive had a fluke 20-yard pass completion on a batted pass. I doubt Fant will let another receiver get behind him on fourth and 17. All in all a good win.
