    (2016) PF De'Ron Davis to IU

    Probably because we were out in front before the visit. We should have been out in front because he had visited us and had not visited them. After the MSU visit things may have changed.

    2015 #IUBB Offseason Thread

    I think Max's comments are based on a small sample of time so things could change and Crean may start the year loose then tighten things up. If however this is representative it would also explain why Creans teams have not ordinarily done well in the postseason.

    Indiana vs. Rutgers Post-Game Tread

    End of third period at midfield we run the ball twice and are content to punt.

    IU vs. PSU Post Game Thread

    When Sudfeld and Roberson were young they showed much more promise than what we have seen with Zander. Not seeing that same promise with our younger guys right now
  5. This seems to be a trend the last two years. Losing games late. Must have had about 8 or 9 losses in the last few minutes of a game or extra time the last couple of years
  6. Need to finish this year with a bowl. 4-1 and a well played game vs OSU certainly does not make a seat hot but a really poor finish to the year and no bowling and that seat will heat up very quick

    2015 #IUBB Offseason Thread

    A lot of articles this week suggested we would have a strong defensive focus this year. I know it is just one practice but I had hoped Fran would have said "a lot of time spent on defense".

    IU vs that school in ohio...

    Kevin Wilson the wet blanket @MikeMillerHT: Wilson says IU doesn't win enough to fill up its stadium (to attract GameDay) and the game isn't a primetime TV assignment.
  9. If the colts do not improve noticeably against good teams it will be a disappointing season. Might not be long but may be a bit ho hum

    My proud NEW purchase!!!!

    Did you check into asphalt instead of concrete? I had some money set aside and was thinking about using tinted asphalt

    IU-SIU Post game thread

    I think being disappointed is very fair. Still hope for improvement but every year we have much the same

    Has anybody used Sling TV to get ESPN?

    What channels can you get? Is it seamless?

    Emmitt Holt dismissed from team

    I am not sure that fits here. McRobbie is like the CEO of Coke and CTC the CEO of Dansani Water. McRobbie will be judged more on the educational side of things and Glass and the coaches on Athletics.
  14. TB is close to both of the recruits on campus this weekend. Handing out any punishment before they arrived would distract from their visit. Thus the decision to wait until they leave
  15. Didn't Will laugh about yogi being a capable leader when Yogi got popped with the fake ID
  16. Hmm now the skeptic in me thinks he knows why the discipline of TB will be announced next week.
  17. Still, that does not sound like someone who is worse than Crean.
  18. Did he underachieve at Manchester, UNM or SWMS? Iowa, yes but he did win two BTT titles while underachieving. UCLA is still too early to tell but he is recruiting very well
  19. I agree. You can't be mediocre and have dead horses all around for us to beat though.
  20. I think the staff really wanted him and showed him priority this summer. So missing a guy they invested that time in hurts. I kept hearing last year how we were in really good shape with the 16 class. I was doubtful then but when we landed TB I thought maybe that might help give us momentum. I did not think Ibi was a difference maker but the staff wanted and missed him. I know you cannot get everyone but you hope to get the kids you prioritize.
  21. I keep hearing that we are in really tight with the Indiana 2017 class so perhaps the shotgun approach here is to help move that group along. I expected a narrower strategy though if we were expecting a lot of commits from the Indiana 2017 class

    UNC NCAA Allegations

    For what it is worth, Dakich heard something last week and seemed pretty confident that the punishments were not going to be too severe and that the NCAA believed ol Roy.

    Colin Cowherd

    We had a great swimming and diving program and have had several distance runners excel here as well
