Juwan to the Clippers.

Completely toxic morons. Not a shot at changing my mind on that. So, so thankful that our athletic department loves them. They’re just s’damn silly and goofy!

Hoosier Hysterics with a not surprisingly Ill-worded tweet today. Face of our Nil program….. Could they please stick to the podcast and let Adam Howard tweet. Just never tweet again would be nice. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners

Tom Allen never earned this job to begin with. Literally, it was “we can’t lose the guy who finally made IU’s defense respectable”. That’s all he did. He’s a defensive coordinator and he’ll never be anything other than that. Doesn’t make him a bad guy but now, nothing is working under his watch and Hiller being the last man standing embarrassing at best, criminal at worst…how many kids have to get hurt? Careers derailed? Penix is a test case in how awful Tom Allen is to the IU program. When Desan leaves and we have no QB next year, no RB next year, no WR next year and the entire defense graduates….then what?

Say you’re a high school basketball player. Do you choose school A, where you’ll have to deal with those two weirdos, or go to school B where you’ll get paid more money and not have to deal with them? Not a very hard decision, imo… Our rivals love that we’ve hitched our wagons to the hysterical Hoosiers. What 50ish old man types this out and thinks “this is the tweet. This is what I want to send to the 16 year old I want to come to my school.” (Also what 50ish year old man tweets at high school recruits in the first place, but I digress)

I've heard many basketball recruits say something along the lines of "even in football season their fanbase talks about basketball". Sucking at football is good for us!

He looks like exactly the kind of kid who would be into them.

Yeah, once again, this is going to be reinforced; will Darren Hiller be fired first, or will Tom Allen be given the boot? I mean... we can't just accept this offensive line as tolerable, right? ... right?

True. But it wasn’t bad enough for anyone in the program to tell them to delete it. I like your description of it; weird.

The fact that we’re debating how bad the weird tweet our lovely NIL guys sent out to a teenager is a problem in and of itself. They shouldn’t be tweeting at recruits period.

They do it quieter and bigger at the same time. We are trying so hard to stay within the letter of the law while the lawless lap and laugh at us. A for effort, though, right? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Meh. it’s not that bad.

So much for them “getting better.” They’re unprofessional clowns. Middle-aged men with the judgment of preteens. I wouldn’t trust them anywhere near a recruit. No idea what the program sees in them. Somehow the big hitters in college basketball have figured out how to funnel NIL money to recruits without relying on carnival barkers. Why can’t we?

I think most of us expected this. We finally ran into a good team we couldn't come back on. So many bad mistakes. Learn from it and take the lessons to Nebraska.

This is classic IU football. Mediocre or bad in every phase of the game. At least we have more wins than last year.

If only we could have seen our offensive line issues prior to the season.

Hate to say this. but we’re not winning another game this year.

Ivan Pace is so good

Shaun Shivers favorite movie

I love hearing that he is really good, but would really like to have him for more than one year. A year two Jalen could push to the next level and give us sustainability. Having good players for multiple years is the key to getting where we want to go in my opinion.

ummm. i have nothin'

It’s remarkable really. I constantly LOOK for the positive and state it when I see it. I want to ROLL. The combo of JHS and Reneau, with the Underrated Banks and possibly underrated Gunn plus the return of all of our best players…… remarkable. That’s why we are projected top 6-18 and the front runners to win the B1G. Outstanding. Now we project to lose TJD (although maybe not?!?!?one can dream), Race, X, Kopp, maybe a breakout player (JHS). Likely to be a few transfers (who knows). To replace our starting 4 and 5 we have 2 low rated 4 stars that is a smallish PG who will struggle with strength and size in the B1G to start and an Athletic combo guard with a lot of upside working on his shot. We aimed for A shooter, Stoyakivich (went nowhere), Power (lost to a bigger/better program) , Kaiser (hometown kid or starting role or whatever-I wasn’t wowed anyway) to Maryland. We liked DHS, I’m not sure what role we were even trying for here, because he’s a small wing or a combo guard. We seem to have those spots covered. It wasn’t a match. Whatever. I didn’t think we needed him. Maryland gets him. We are after Page. We might get Page. A good upside BIG with potential. Backup guy to start, would be a solid pickup. Fits our other 2 as building block guys, but we are losing an All American at the 5 and a possible 1st Conf guy at the 4. We seem to be targeting Queen to reclass, as is Maryland it appears. Maryland is rumored to be the leader. Will he be ready to start on a winning B1G team as a reclassed recruit? Maybe? We couldn’t decide if we wanted Booker. The possible #1 player in the class from our home state. Is that going to be a miss? Let’s hope not? It won’t look great if it was, but whatever, get the guy you want. And hopefully it’s the better player. Who is it going to be? Will transfer portal be the saving grace? Maybe? Just overall, odd recruiting decisions made all around for ‘23. Can they salvage what we need to remain projected near the top of B1G Despite all we lose? Sure. Lots has to happen. Who we targeted and who we’ve landed so far isn’t Impressive considering the holes we have to fill. YET. Page would be great, but we need more. Anyway, I’m just always negative. That’s the simple answer. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

Idk if this is a typo or not. Frankly, I don’t care. This will be his name going forward.
