This isn’t at Stu or BGleas at all. This is more at the initial response that started this from FK. Can we all disagree and discuss things without being a complete asshat? Like this whole if you disagree with me you are stupid thing that started during the football season is annoying as hell. It has made it where people no longer know how to respond to someone they disagree with without being a complete dick from the start.

SERIES HISTORY
First meeting
 
NOTES Indiana opens up its 48th season of women's basketball on Thursday night. The Hoosiers are 35-12 all-time in season openers, winning all six under sixth year head coach Teri Moren. In its only exhibition game, Indiana defeated Division II McKendree, 109-43, on Sunday afternoon. Seven players scored in double figures behind 20 points from sophomore forward Aleksa Gulbe. Indiana opens up the season as the No. 24 team in the nation in the Associated Press preseason Top 25. They are also receiving votes in the USA Today/WBCA Coaches poll. They were also picked to finish third (media)/fourth (coaches) in the Big Ten preseason polls. In addition to All-Big Ten honors, Patberg has pulled in a variety of nominations to national awards watch lists. The Columbus, Ind. native is one of 20 point guards on the Nancy Lieberman Award preseason watch list, a Wooden Award Preseason Top 30 candidate and is on the Women's Citizen Naismith Trophy Watch List Top 50. The Hoosiers went 21-13 overall in 2018-19 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round. They defeated five teams with Top 50 RPIs and took down two Top 15 teams for the first time since 2002- Patberg leads a group of four starters that return for the 2019-20 season. She led the way with 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game as an All-Big Ten second team selection in 2018-19. All-Big Ten picks Jaelynn Penn (13.9 ppg.) and Brenna Wise (12.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg.) are also back while junior guard Bendu Yeaney continues to rehab a torn Achilles suffered in the NCAA Tournament last season. From last season, Indiana returns 91 percent of its scoring and 72 percent of its rebounding from last season. Seven new faces were added to the roster in the offseason, including six freshmen. It's the largest class of freshmen in six years led by 2019 Indiana Miss Basketball Jorie Allen and Maine Gatorade Player of the Year Mackenzie Holmes  UP NEXT
The Hoosiers continue their homestand with Nicholls State on Sunday. Tipoff is set for 12 p.m. ET.

I don't really care who starts. I can't wait to see who's on the floor in the last 4 or 5 minutes when the games on the line!

Our lineup will probably depend on the teams we are playing. Should be fun to watch though. As we move into the meat of the season I doubt if Anderson gets a lot of time but the rest will get minutes. I hope Deron gets back.

If this is the new Smith we get.. how much fun would a Smith, Garcia, and Jackson-Davis front line be with Phin and Al in the backcourt?!

Nichols with a 47 point second half.
It royally pisses me off that some jugheads are placing last year’s 12-21 Illini ahead of my Hoosiers.
 

If I was Self I would ask the players to give some of their money back.

Just coming in to say that I absolutely loved our Rob/Al/Jerome/Justin/Trayce lineup. It was by far our most versatile and explosive. Next year this is for sure our starting lineup (If Garcia comes, he will probably start though). With Green back in the fold it will be hard to pick who would come out. Guessing we go with Rob/Devonte/Al/Smith/Trayce. Either way, I really like this team makeup. So much versatility. I’m very excited for the rest of the year and to see improvement from the guys!

Saw much more maturity in his game thus far after the exhibition and tonight. Handles alot better and was super active at both ends. I truly hope this is a legit transformatiom. If it is...watch out!

Also 5 rebounds.  Love guards that rebound.  

Not able to watch or listen, but this thread is beautiful.

Horrible news for the team’s chances moving forward.
Went from a fantastic play maker to a good game manager.
 

Indiana redshirt junior guard Ali Patberg has been named a candidate to the Wooden Award Preseason Top 30.
 
Patberg returns as the program's leader in assists last season with 4.8 per game while also returning as the team's leading scorer from the 2018-19 season. She played and started in 31 games in her first season at IU, as she helped guide Indiana to a NCAA Tournament Second Round appearance in Eugene that featured a win over Texas. The All-Big Ten Second Team selection averaged 15.8 points per game as she scored in double figures 24 times.
 
The Columbus, Ind. native also averaged 5.0 rebounds per game as she also shot 80.4 percent from the free throw line. She set a career-high 13 assists against Missouri State last season and dished out multiple assists in 29 games. This preseason, Patberg has picked up honors as an All-Big Ten preseason honoree and one of 20 point guards on the Nancy Lieberman Award Watch List.

The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2020 John R. Wooden Award Women's Player of the Year presented by Wendy's. Players not chosen to the preseason list are still eligible for the Wooden Award™ midseason list, late season list, and the National Ballot. The National Ballot consists of 15 top players who have proven to their universities that they meet or exceed the qualifications of the Wooden Award. Nearly 1,000 voters will rank in order 10 of those 15 players when voting opens prior to the NCAA Tournament and will allow voters to take into consideration performance during early round games. The Wooden Award All American Team™ will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round of the NCAA Tournament. The winner of the 2020 John R. Wooden Award will be presented by Wendy's during the ESPN College Basketball Awards on Friday, April 10, 2020

Prior to the Rutgers game I said that 4 game stretch would be huge in my opinion of Tom Allen. I have always been a supporter of him, but I saw that stretch as an opportunity for this program to go one way or the other as every single game was winnable. I said anything less than 2-3 wins and I would be really disappointed and have some doubts. Well i never expected this team to win all 4. But they did. 
 
So yes, WAY TO GO TOM ALLEN. GO HOOSIERS. 

Crazy how legal trouble gets buried when you’re winning but quickly rises to the surface when the winning slows down.

People love to argue against certain posters and not what their side of an argument. I believe most are arguing the same thing but from only a slightly different perspective. However, they keep arguing their angle because they’re arguing against poster x.

I’m a happy a Hoosier for having them both and both playing out for this seven win Hoosier squad.

I'm shocked this whole discussion, which has been going on all season, hasn't died of utter exhaustion.

And yet we're still getting the most talent that IU football has ever fielded. 

Quicker release, generally quicker downfield decisions (or an ability to make those throws when Ramsey second guesses his ability to do so), bigger, stronger, faster.   That's why Penix is a better player, and none of that shows up on any stat sheet.   Ramsey is fine.  Penix is better.   The eyeball test DOES actually work; as was mentioned above.

I like both players, and I know their stats are almost identical,  but the one thing that stands out to me is the sacks differential.  Penix has been sacked once, compared to Ramsey being sacked 11 times

Ik I’m late to the party, Had to calm down before I posted but here we go 
Game thoughts. 

pre game I told myself and buddies that if we could go up 10-14 early it would be over. NW Defense can only hold on and make plays for so long, their offense is one of the worst I’ve seen in awhile. We dominated. First half defense still needs to come out sharper, but man have to give credit to Womack and Co for their second half adjustments the last 3 games.
offense- Penix looked hot, then looked off, then looked hot. You can tell why he was named starter especially on the first pass to whop...from what I could tell whop was his last read, and he looked like he was gonna check it down to walker out of backfield, he then saw whop hit the hole in the zone and quickly whipped it to the right side of the field.  Injury report will be interesting, I’m starting to ask myself is this is mental thing that he will need to learn to overcome? Line did some good things. Bedford was anxious under the lights, he will have to not make mistakes like that in big time games. Stevie is doing the little things and he’s growing as a player and becoming a well rounded back before our eyes. The WRs when they are on....can compete and dominate anyone. 
 
Defense- Demarcus Elliott is a man child. He disrupts all the time. Athletic young players from the Dline-secondary.....future is bright on defense all around. I would like to see more fire from the start. Overall happy 
game overall, what I expected if we could get up early on them. Proud of this team and staff. 
 
off field items- mainly what I’ve seen on Twitter (not a great place to get info as trolls are out there), but I cannot understand the ever changing goals for the football team....the start of the season it was...
just win, no matter if it was ugly win.....then it became beat Rutgers and Maryland..Nebraska.....and maybe crossovers here and there....they’ve done that....and they are 7-2 and you still have a crowd saying nah this team sucks, they aren’t good and blah blah blah.... this team has done what was asked of them and you still boo boo and have the poo pooers out there.....
Yeah I’m an emotional IU football supporter, I admit that....but sheesh this team has done basically what it was asked to do  yeah it choked at MSU....but many still had them losing to them in pre season predictions....OSU well I thought Justin fields might have some hiccups and cause their offense to sputter here and there....hand up lol I was wrong and he’s legit. 
My rant is over! This football team is fun, fast, passionate.....
oh and Tiawan grabbing coach Allen on the field and telling him “I told you this is why’d I’d come here and help do” just speaks to what he and the younger kids think about IU. They love it. They love the football team and they love the coach. Crazy what a hs coach is starting to do in his third year. 
 
go Hoosiers, rest, refocus and get ready for happy valley. Win or lose I’ll be there for the Michigan game. 

Penix struggled against Rutgers? Absolute insane take, much like every other take you offer on this topic. Whatever man. You like Ramsey. Got it. Debating football with you is a fruitless endeavor. Good day to you

Really hoping we’re ranked going into that Penn State game. Special time to be a Hoosiers fan and wish we could all soak in the 7-2 record instead of arguing over our two QB’s!
