Captain Kirkwood's Pep Talk: Michigan Wolverines


Captain Kirkwood
  • First and foremost, thoughts and prayers to Devin. Damn.

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you. Without a dope beat to step to.

Things are not awesome right now in Hoosier-land. I'll give you that. But things could be worse. We could be Michigan. Woof.

We all saw Michigan's AD finally resigned this week and Brady Hoke is no doubt close behind. For Michigan fans, the season is over. The team could still make a bowl if they win three of their last four, but not even that would appease Big Blue fans. They want the season over, Hoke gone and a new beginning.

That's all great new for Indiana. The Hoosiers haven't won against the Wolverines since 1987, and they haven't beaten UM at the Big House since 1967. It's been a minute. So this year, while UM is reeling and before they reload and return to national prominence under a new coach, represents a phenomenal opportunity for Wilson's Hoosiers to put another historical notch in their belt (in addition to beating Penn State and a ranked team on the road).

And while some of our fans have lost some (all) of their enthusiasm, Tevin Ford Coleman's swagger is off the charts after becoming the only back to go over 100 yards against Mighigan State's defense last week:

Sometimes they mess around with you and say, 'You're not going anywhere today.' Im thinking, 'Yeah, you're wrong.'"

-Tevin Coleman

Gives me chills. And here's the biggest thing about today's matchup. Tevin Coleman is literally better than the entire MIchigan offense. As ESPN pointed out, Coleman is averaging more touchdowns per game than the entire MIchigan offense against Power5 opponents. That's just silly.

If Indiana's defense can win their matchup against the B1G's worst scoring offense.

And Diamont doesn't actively hurt the Hoosiers (turnovers).

And, and this is big, if the Hoosiers can turn the home crowd against the Wolverines early (which shouldn't be hard).

Then it's not in the least bit a stretch to say the Hoosiers will hop on the bus this evening and head back down south after doing doing something that hasn't been done in 47 years.

Beating the Wolverines in the Big House.

GET UP!
