I hope IU can get Garcia. That’d be quite a 2020 class

Those announcer's bugged the hell out of me. They focused on what PSU was doing wrong (as opposed to what IU was doing right) or what PSU needed to do right (not what IU needed to do) and rarely angled the commentary towards IU positives. It's irritating watching 'neutral' coverage as if you're watching the Nittany Lion Broadcasting Crew.

If you believe this why are you so down on archie. Top 15 team in year 4. That is good. Not as good as we want to be but pretty good Sent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app

Well now I feel left out and that makes me a sad panda

That pass right there is the difference between Ramsey and Penix

He’s fully embraced we are a football school, not worried about no basketball junk

From the same guy who earlier this week marveled at Purdoo’s domination of Marquette, I give you another beauty!

I want to see us compete. I don’t want that crap of scoring the last 14 points of the game to make it close or getting an onsides kick. I want to see this team lineup and do what we do. If the chips don’t fall so be it but dammit let’s compete. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I get you don't like him or wanted somebody else or whatever... but if the entire basis of your constant negativity is that he doesn't evolve and we don't make progress with him as our coach i am curious as to how you measure progress? Wins? Year 1 - went down 2, made progress as the year went on as we had 2 more conference wins than the prior year. (I don't see that as bad with an entire new staff and philosophy, not even to mention the players) Year 2 - 3 more wins than year 1 Postseason? Year 1 nothing, year 2 NIT, Year 3....? (Seems like progress to me) Eye Test? If you can actually tell me you remember what the first game if his tenure looked like and we still look the same then there is nothing else to say? Stats? Points Scored up 275 in yr 2, Rebounds up 173 in yr 2, Assists up 34 in yr 2, Steals up 27 in yr 2, Blocks up 20 in yr 2... FGM up, 3FGM up, FTM up.... the only statistical category that didn't improve in year 2 was turnovers Recruiting? As previously mentioned 2 (possibly 3) straight Indiana Mr Basketball, Locked down the State, good momentum

Indy Star - Stefan Krajisnik BLOOMINGTON – Chants of “Bobby” and “Thank you, coach” echoed throughout The Bluebird on Saturday as former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight made a surprise appearance. "Hoosier Hysterics" — a podcast dedicated to Indiana men’s basketball — was hosting a live event when the former coach made an unexpected arrival to close out the afternoon. Knight took the stage to a loud roar and a plethora of cellphones recording the moment. It is rare for him to make public appearances in Bloomington, and on Indiana’s campus, as the emotions around his firing continue to linger nearly 20 years later. Knight made an appearance at an Indiana baseball game last spring, but there have not been many signs of him making a return to Assembly Hall. However, he showed some intention to return while at The Bluebird. “Let’s go tomorrow,” Knight said in response to a fan asking when he’ll be returning to the arena. There is no men’s basketball game scheduled for Sunday, but there is a women’s game slated. While he showed signs of being open to an Assembly Hall return, most of his time on stage was a showcase of personality. The mystery surrounding Bob Knight: 'People just want to know about him' Knight did not refrain from cursing and made jokes about former players that were in attendance not knowing how to play defense. “You’ve gotta excuse my language right now,” Knight said. “Because when I was coaching that’s all I talked about.” With numerous former players in attendance, Knight showed gratitude toward them and toward the fans for how he was treated during his 29 seasons as Hoosiers coach. “I think they knew that the fans here really wanted to see good basketball, and they gave it to them,” he said while choking up. Signs of Knight’s competitiveness showed as well. As he thanked former players, he made sure to note the success the program had in his time. “This was a great place to coach, and it was an opportunity to coach a lot of great kids,” Knight said. “And more important than that, we just about beat everybody’s @$$.” And he made sure to show his flair for rivalry never left either. “Is that son of a (expletive) from Purdue over there,” Knight said. Knight was persistent to stay on stage as long as possible, and numerous times as the event began to wrap up, he remained with the microphone in hand. After the crowd joined country singer Clayton Anderson in performing the Indiana fight song for Knight, he eventually made his way off the stage. But it came as chants of “Bobby” filled the air again, and the man so many referred to as “The General” gave the crowd a final salute.

I’ve said it for years but it goes way above Big Ten officials. If these refs were making bad calls in the eyes of the conference they wouldn’t be working Big Ten games. There is a pecking order in the conference and Indiana isn’t going to change that until they give them no chance in changing it. **** the Big Ten Whop definitely should have gotten out of the way on that punt. However, show me a time when a ball (football, basketball, soccer ball, etc.) hit something and didn’t change rotation. It just doesn’t happen. **** the Big Ten Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We need to continue to upgrade our talent and build depth. I thought we were very competitive even though we played most of the game without our two best offensive players. We have a shot in each of the remaining games, although neither will be easy. I see progress and actually look forward to the rest of this season and next. That doesn't happen very often.

Next up UM. But I think we got screwed ! Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

I’ll take a 7 point loss at #9 Penn State. I think that is a positive for IU and hopefully the committee looks stupid for not even having us on their board. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Oh so this is why you hold onto your timeouts in the second half. Weird

These are the kinds of games we keep saying we have to win. Yet we don't. And while PSU is better, the opportunities have been there. Really disappointed.

3 more schools and he passes Gunner Kiel for most NCAA football transfers.

Gotta love B1G refs, they're so bad. Targeting causes a turnover and they don't bother to look at it.

One would think you would have learned your lesson of putting artificial caps on coaches. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Ohhh. ... Did anybody see the obvious hold as Clifford broke up the middle? Our guy had a beat on him, but the PSU lineman just tackled him. Man, we need to get some breaks here and that's one we should get. Very obvious penalty.

Have never been more excited for an IU football game in the month of November in my life! Let’s play our game, take care of the ball, and get this W and be one win away from #9WINDIANA! Make us proud Hoosiers! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You are beyond hope. You are Veruca Salt. Before...when I said it's not that you don't know anything? I was wrong.

It seemed like Maryland had better size up front. They blocked or seemed to have hands on a ton of IU shots while IU wasn’t able to disrupt as many shots. IU’s best player was a sophomore, Edwards. Losing Lexi Johnson At 6’5 last year after a promising freshman year last year hurt. I think it’s too soon to throw in the towel on Aird. He’s got a tremendous, top 10 class coming in. I would assume he will also look to add transfers to help fill gaps. It’s been a frustrating year for them with so many close losses. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So do we root for Wesley Lander Kaufman As tier 1? Furst probably nearby. Goode. A few out of state offers the staff is high on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Peyton Ramsey throwing for 371 on 41 passes with no picks was certainly a highlight (one touchdown passing (should have been two) and two rushing). I look at Philyor's stat line with two turnovers and know that neither should have been (although he should have never attempted to field the punt and that put it into question).

I met Todd Leary at Archie's event in Evansville. Super nice guy.

Lander, Wesley, Furst and Kaufman. Get them all

Just stop with your damned reasonableness and optimism!

I am sure. Still putting artificial caps on coaches. Should be months worth of interesting train wreck style proclamations. Would hate to throw the cycle off. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Didn’t get to watch, but we lost to a top 10 team on the road by 7. I know it sucks and apparently we played well enough to win outside of mistakes and refs, but normal IU teams lose this game by a lot more. I know it helps I didn’t see the game, but feels like progress! Need to go kick the crap out of Michigan! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I didn't think we would win, but I still can't get over that PSU was essentially gifted 25 points. A recap .. 7 -- TD after stupid fumble-not fumble on our first possession 7 -- TD on long Clifford run with obvious missed hold 7 -- TD after stupid, stupid fake punt 4 -- Dropped TD pass on which we settle for FG (OK that's not giving them points, but it's taking 4 away from us) Why, oh why, can't we win these games! ... So damn frustrating.

Even worse, the 2 plays following the timeouts were an awful fake punt try and a 3rd and 10 scramble for an easy first down.

Just like Bennett at Virginia amirite? With Joe’s pick I am pretty sure we are winning a title in the next few years. Maybe multiple. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I would love Indiana to have returned to prominence. Like, yesterday. But I might love it even more if it took another 4 years with gradual, realistic progress on the way just so a point might finally be driven home around here. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

People shouldn’t take “insiders” word as gospel. I enjoy hearing what they have to say and just take it with a grain of salt, what gets annoying is the fact that every single thread gets over taken by these posts about how bad they are. We get it, you don’t like it but holy cow stay somewhat on topic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I know of Ned and heard of his connections to IU but even if Archie or staff gave him recruiting tid bits (which I highly doubt they do) he wouldn’t be telling his buddies especially given how easily it would be to know his “buddies” are turning around and posting said info on sites. Guys like Ned would shut that down in a second knowing it would otherwise result in him being shut out. Personally I think all of that “insider” stuff is nonsense by people who enjoy feeling important. It’s nauseating and I’d just assume wait until a kid announces rather than get all caught up in the preliminary crap. Sometimes we as adults need to get a grip and not take our hobbies so seriously. The “insider” stuff I see over here makes sense and seems to be presented as an educated opinion where as over on HSN it’s to be treated as gospel. Any notion of challenging it or holding those “insiders” who spread BS accountable will be met with mob justice. I made one comment here of my opinion of Sam Story (one that many people agree with) and someone brought it over there causing a **** storm. It’s pretty pathetic imo. I’m glad this site tends to root itself reality and isn’t the soap opera that is hsn.
