  Yep.  I was never sold on the guy.  He had one great season at Ball State where he somehow managed to have a NFL-caliber QB on his roster (Nate Davis).  If he wasn't a "Michigan man" then I don't think UM would have given him the time of day. 

Another game where we lack discipline and simply do not look like a well-coached team.  I see CKW raging against the refs on the field, then whatever he said post-game about the fans...man, look at yourself and your own staff.  Do better, coach 'em up better.  Instill better focus & discipline, call better plays, etc.    But whatever.  I'm not even mad.  Just really, really disappointed.  Feels like another 5-7 season in the making. 

Now is the time to show we can handle success and keep the momentum building.  2-1 with back-to-back home games.  Gotta beat Maryland and North Texas.  That would show we are prepared to be successful and that the Mizzou game was not a flash in the pan. 

Great win for sure! 

Seriously??????????????????????????

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Timely thunderstorm nuking my dish signal.  :(

We are cooking with FIRE!

We all know the football gods hate us.  Quick, somebody make a blood sacrifice at the altar of Lee Corso!

I just feel like we missing just enough opportunities to lose this game. 

We have an elite soccer program why can't we find a kicker?

The SEC network sponsored by ESPN...just making it official after all the pre-marital sex I suppose.

The announcers were making me want to break things then I remembered, it is the $EC Network.

We have a chance.  Need to force at least one turnover to win imo.

Toe on the line my ass, count it!

  I'm where I've always been, just down the street from Bishop Dwenger.  Pansy.  :-P  lol

  Well, we've only had one good season in the last 20+ years so...I'd take it.  I'd hope for the guy to be our Gary Barnett, not that he would stay long but he would turn it around just enough that his successors would have a more attractive situation in place.  Sometimes I think people get too hung up on the idea of having a lifer coach, I don't know that you can have that kind of guy at IU for football.  Coach Hep may have been the one exception but otherwise it is likely that IU in the best case scenario is a stepping-stone job . The key is you want it to become a GOOD stepping-stone job instead of a BAD one.  Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic in that regard but I'd rather see us have job turnover due to success as opposed to failure. 

  Since the thread has been bumped...the foundation obviously still has some cracks and flaws but if CKW was gone tomorrow, I still think he has set up the program in a better place for the next guy.  And I don't see a change being made barring a truly disastrous remainder of the season.  This team can still win 5-6 games.  I do think another non-bowl season can and should put the heat on his seat heading into Year 5.  Some would argue the heat should already be there.  Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  Only Fred Glass truly knows.  I'm pretty frustrated with the BG game but I'm not in FIRE EVERYONE mode.  Not now, not yet.  Trying to stay somewhat rational while also being critical. 

We need all the wins we can get, statement win or not.  Beating Mizzou would get my IU football buzz back in a strong way though.  Kind of like the Bears beating the 49ers last night after losing to Buffalo. 

The ideal scenario was go 3-1 and then just need 3 conference wins.

  Technically it is possible.  But we just took a torch to whatever little margin of error we possess.  The problem with this loss is our next game.  At Missouri.  Unless we pull of some miraculous, sudden turnaround then we are looking at yet another 2-2 OOC record which means we need to win 4 conference games.  One can argue we have 4+ winnable conference games (Maryland, Rutgers, Iowa, Penn State (?), Purdue) but I'd have a tough time saying we would win at least 4 of those games based on what I am seeing.  We will probably be at least in a position to win enough of those games, but can we finish?  

RMK curse, lol.  If he had stayed then we would have been cursed with having Pat Knight as head coach for a few years so either way, you don't win.  ;)

I don't have much faith left for this coaching staff.  It isn't all negative, I think our talent level has been rising but we continue to field an awful defense and continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.  Untimely penalties, turnovers, etc.  Probably looking at another 5-7 finish.  We really needed to turn some kind of corner this season and I don't see it happening now.  Hope I'm wrong.  I'm not even that angry right now, apathy is setting in big-time.

Same old IU football.  :(

Regarding AD, let's bear in mind here that not only did he inflict that damage upon his own son, he did so having already lost a child due to abuse from another man.
