Walking Boot of Doom

Almost a better answer honestly. At least it’s not many different injuries. If he was playing through that too... maybe tougher than credited? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

COWARD Agreed, but I decided it’d be fun to put my reputation on the line on this one. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Whoa. After one game? Let’s see how this plays out. Besides, how do you Crown Al over Smith based on last night? I don’t expect that this team will have a consistent “best player”. This team is deep and apparently we have a handful of guys all capable of being the best player each game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Wow. Wish I could have watched. Excited to see some highlights and this new Justin Smith player! Is he a transfer?! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I expect them both to look closer to their current ranking in February, but right now no chance. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah that won’t stop any of the big boys. Hope they can keep him - would love to see the B1G West be more competitive. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What’s the buyout? He’s gone if he wants USC or FSU in my uninformed opinion. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Really good to see that Phin is getting some run. How’s he looking? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Tuttle needs to be ready to rock. I just haven’t seen the grad transfer band-aid work out. They always need at least a year to learn the playbook apparently. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Loved? You mean objectively recognized as the better QB? Who has Ramsey beat again? As BC likes to point out - no one really. Best defense we have a win against is Northwestern and guess what? Penix and Ramsey split the game and were both critical to the win (although probably not as critical as Scott). I have nothing against Ramsey, and now that he’s our only hope you aren’t going to find a bigger fan! Hope BC has saved some Ramsey Kool-Aid, because I’m thirsty! Let’s drink to Ramsey leading IUFB to three straight wins! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Show me where I acted like the season was over. Our remaining games are at PSU, against UM, and at Purdue, and I already wasn’t confident in our ability to wins those. Now our starting QB is out. We’ve seen Ramsey against OSU, so I don’t have much faith going up against PSU and UM. If anything happens to Ramsey, we’re down to Tuttle. Therefore, I’ll say it again: AT LEAST WE’RE ALREADY BOWL ELIGIBLE Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Pretty sure the only disrespect is from you towards Penix who won the starter role and demonstrated why. As one of the many (read: everyone on this board except you) who have said Penix is better, I’ve also said and will say again I am grateful we have Ramsey. Indiana wouldn’t be at 7-2 without both these players. Not one or the other, but both. And Indiana is worse without their QB1, one of the top QBs in FBS this year.

Also, Ramsey is now the starter for a 7-2 B1G team who is under consideration for the friggin Rose Bowl and you wouldn’t blame him for transferring?! Please avoid offering advice of any kind to the young man who is doing quite well for himself where he is. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Just glad it’s not his ACL again. Needs to get stronger in the offseason to hopefully prevent some of these injuries. Feel real bad for the kid. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Are you Ramsey? This is not disrespect. You cry way too much. Simply a statement that, while losing our starting QB WHO RANKS NEAR THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY sucks a whole lot, at least we’re playing with house money and will be going to a bowl anyway. Kindly go take a nap and come back when you’re ready. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Well, at least we’re already bowl eligible. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Well, given you and the rest of has have jack to base our assessment of the success or failure of this season on, maybe the doomsdayers should shut their yaps and watch the damn game. In the interest of fairness, I’d say the same thing to anyone proclaiming us National Champs. But you don’t see anyone doing that, do you? I see a lot of cautious optimism and some people half way off the cliff trying to pull everyone off with them. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’d be concerned, but based on roster structure, I think we’ll need to outperform to be comfortably in the tournament. I look at it in the reverse - if this roster makes it comfortably, I’ll be very impressed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

What are these mental gymnastics. I’m not your financial advisor, but I am here to let you know that historical performance do not guarantee future results. May 2020 bring you peace and happiness gradman. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Man, we’d be having unrealistic optimism run rampant if we beat a ranked MSU. And we’d be ranked. Wild to imagine. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
