Walking Boot of Doom

Guys. We have a walk-on who won’t shoot the ball in our starting lineup, and I’m not sure who I’d rather replace him. If that’s not a sign that you should keep your expectations in check, I don’t know what is. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Meh I’ve made my thoughts on Dakich clear. “Knight guy” is just an excuse. Expectations are a product of reality. Expecting to win the championship this year isn’t going to make it real. We need to build back to that. Program needs a cultural foundation to build from. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

If Dakich had the solution he’d still be here. He doesn’t have the answers other than ones that are easy to create sitting at a desk behind a mic. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’d be really nice to land a Brooks commitment this week. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Guy going from Championships at UF to the NBA... a stop at IU just doesn’t fit in the narrative. Made a mini-dynasty out of nothing. Why Indiana? I just don’t believe any of the “we had X coach but Y” stuff to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Nope we don’t win another game on the schedule. Burn it all down. One of these has to be a comeback game. Michigan would be nice after the beat down. Rutgers feels like a trap. MSU is really tough. Iowa and OSU are absolutely winnable. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I stopped reading after the first sentence. What’s happening right now is not good. It takes time, and pain, to fix a broken program. Regardless of whether Archie is the guy to do it or not, that doesn’t happen in 1.5 years and 1 recruiting class. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Welp that blows. Thoughts beyond that: - When are we going to see the Romeo domination game? - Race is getting better! - Phin is going to be the anchor for Archie and Indiana basketball for three more years - Evan found the hoop! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There’s plenty of sense when your perspective is capable of expanding beyond a four game period of time. Wait till Archie has upperclassmen in RP, Al, Race, Cliff, Jake and Anderson. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I agree with you in principle as well, BUT... It does require specific players. Crean is gone because of the issues you listed. He had a talent for finding talented players who often lacked the right attitude. I’m hoping Archie can find the right guys. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Enjoy life man. If Indiana is making you as miserable as it sounds, time for you to step away. Do yourself and everyone else a favor. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Johnson is back, baby! Save some for me, man! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, one of those school's fans seems to hate their team more than their own rivals do .

LOL thanks for the reminder. What an awful way to have to start your career at IU. Really unfortunate scheduling - you know any time we play an in-state team they’re going to play their very best. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

And *technically* a veteran QB or one talented enough to usurp him. Plus we’ll see if Stevie Scott has an even better season with a hopefully more balanced offense. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Everyone gave up on the season after the opening night IPFW loss, so no formal complaints were ever developed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I hate to say this because it’s burned me every year... but I’m excited for IUFB! I really like Penix and Tuttle. Hope DeBoer brings an exciting offense back to Btown! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You think Allen is going anywhere after signing two of our best recruiting classes back to back? And bringing in Tuttle? Once again, the admin has patience. You have to otherwise your program becomes a revolving door with no foundation nor job security. “Hey, come turn the worst FBS program in the country into a perennial bowl team in 2 years or you’ll be on your way out. By the way, we’ve always struggled to fill the stadium, even in the best of times. Good luck!” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Interesting - IU Football post states that DeBoer is the OC and Associate HC

These kids all dream of making it to the NBA or next level. Part of that is avoiding career ending injuries. Very little value on an individual level to rush back. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is his defense anything like his JBJ? Because Archie doesn’t like players who can’t defend. We’ve seen that. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

No it won’t. Guarantee only message board posters think he should be on the hot seat after his recruiting success and less than 2 years at the helm. The powers that be don’t determine success or failure in 2 years. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It’s pretty clear who Stu’s post applied to. There are individuals that post the same one sentence negativity over and over. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’m happy with Glass. He also brought Assembly Hall well into the modern day while maintaining the original facility and history. That was a tough line to ride. This OC hire is interesting - hope it has our QBs excited! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He’s a bulldog! Those fouls are nothing!! Haha - glad he had a productive game. I hope him makes it. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
