Over the last 25 years, a series of incompetent ADs have ruined IU basketball.

Indiana's all-time Big 10 tournament record is 39%. Today's result was as expected.

I am apprehensive about Dolson hiring Woodson's replacement. I don't know how much Quinn Buckner influenced the decision to hire Woodson. If he was heavily involved then the Governor needs to remove Buckner when his term on the Board of Trustees is up.

I expect the game to turn out like the Maryland or Northwestern games. Once IU gets a touchdown lead, Coach will go for blood to impress the CFP committee.

I am really tired of Finebaum trashing non-SEC team schedules. I looked at the top six SEC team schedules, and they aren't impressive when playing non-SEC teams. A&M lost to Notre Dame. UGA beat Clemson, but so what? Clemson is really down this year as is the whole ACC. Alabama beat Wisconsin which lost their QB in the first quarter. The top SEC teams are beating each other and that looks impressive to the pollsters, but they aren't getting any signature wins outside of the conference.

IU 28 OSU 27

I hope OSU is looking ahead to their next game against Michigan the following week.

We hear a lot about SEC team's strength of schedule. Check out Tennessee's schedule. I am not impressed. Other than Georgia and Alabama it is weak. And they lost to a bad Arkansas team.

IU 35 UM 14

I don't think Cignetti is thinking about OSU yet, but if they take care of business vs UM, I see Cignetti going for blood in Columbus.

I did a google on thumb nail injuries. The nail bed can heal in 7 to 10 days. It can take several months for the nail to regrow.

Hoosiers 35 NW 14

I avoid looking ahead at the schedule. I am only thinking about Northwestern.

Indiana 35 Maryland 21

I have been googling away and can't find an answer about where 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 are assigned to either the Sugar Bowl or Rose Bowl. Would UGA vs Washington go to New Orleans or Pasadena? How is it decided?

I don't think a contract extension was warranted. When IU went 6-2 in the pandemic season, they beat UM, MSU, Wisconsin, and PSU along with 2 others. Those 4 schools were all having terrible seasons and ended with bad records. That hardly qualifies as a great season for IU. Dolson should not be there anymore. He displayed his incompetence. No major program wanted Allen obviously.

Dolson needs to be fired also. He is the @@@ that a couple of years ago gave Allen a big raise and contract extension which will cost IU a fortune.

Send Allen and Dolson packing.

Will Dolson do the right thing?

I wonder how this will affect Notre Dame. The ACC may collapse and what then?

The NCAA announced its penalties for the U of Tennessee football program. It includes an $8 million fine and scholarship reductions among other things. It will also require them to forfeit some wins from about 4 or 5 years ago. I am wondering if their close win over IU in the Gator Bowl will be one of those wins.

I wonder how other bad football programs turned things around. I know that Kansas State, Northwestern, Kentucky, and several others managed to do it. I don't think Dolson is the guy that can get it done. He is just a placeholder.

Good to see IU get a big win against the Alabama Penal Institute.

It would work wonders if IU could consistently shoot threes and quit being so one-dimensional on offense, that is always trying to push the ball inside instead of running intelligent plays like Creighton, UConn, etc.

I am curious to hear what others think was the reason for the B10's disastrous performance in the NCAA tournament. Was this a one-off or is the B10 slowly becoming irrelevant?
