    Coach Jackson to Kansas

      I thought "lunatic fringe" was more of a joke than a name call, but if you're offended I do apologize.  I hate name calling.   I do think that many people will find fault in the simplest of things just so they can slam Crean.  I swear some people would blame him if it rained during a game, causing a loss of television reception.  The responses in this thread prove that imo.   Nobody knows what happened in the intimate details of Jackson going to Kansas.  Anybody who gives details about what must have been said by coaches or AD's is full of poop.  From appearances, it looks like Jackson got a promotion.  Good for him.  Trying to blame Crean and calling our program a sinking ship is overboard.   I do agree that the results on the court have been problematic.  We should never lose at home to Eastern Washington, Penn State, Northwestern, Nebraska...etc.  I don't believe that Crean is the man to restore IU back to perennial championship contenders.     However, I don't believe that Jackson leaving for Kansas is another chance to bash Crean.  That's an overboard agenda.

    IU vs. NEBRASKA - Game Thread

      It's on you if you miss it.  Set them straight before it goes too far.  Trust me, I was in the same boat when I started dating my wife, now her whole family knows that I'll miss their events to watch a game.

    Coach Jackson to Kansas

    I don't see anybody else giving details about what was said, or how it went down.  Everyone is running for the hills?  Really?   Hey lunatic fringe, it's not as bad as you say.  Jackson took a promotion.   They say in the business world, a manager strives to get everybody beneath him promoted.  That's the sign of a good manager.  Assistants getting promoted under Crean is a sign of a coach hiring good people and helping develop them into better positions.   But you can keep the tin foil hat and assume everybody else is freaking out too.

    Chances are rather high?  How can you act like you know the details of this situation?  You have no idea how this all went down.

    Coach Jackson to Kansas

    Sounds like a big promotion.  Good luck Jenay, thanks for your time here
  6. I haven't missed a game since 1984.  There were a couple seasons in the late 90's that I had to listen to on radio, but I love the Colts.  I can't imagine missing a game.   My wife is pregnant, due in April.  We'll see how that impacts things.  If that kid has tee ball during Colts games......I'm going to make sure her mother can take her.   :yes:

    Bears talking to Kevin Wilson

    Somebody told me once that the Bears used to be a good team.  Is that true?  Had to be a joke

    T Coleman to the Falcons

    Thanks for the memories Tevin.  I really hope the Colts get you in the draft
  9. Do we root for the Ravens to beat the Steelers?  That way our second game (if we win the first) would be at Denver instead of at New England?  The Broncos are slumping and the Pats are surging
  10. No posts about yesterday's game or the upcoming playoff game?  Man, you guys really did give up on this team.   A third straight 11 win season and division title.  Nice win against the Titans...giving us a little momentum going into the playoffs.   Next step?  A home playoff game Sunday against Cincinnati.  The same team we demolished earlier this season.  I'm optimistic that we can do the same to them this Sunday.    Playoff time!  Go Colts!!
  11. Crean needs to use his timeouts better!  That was terrible.   Troy is great in the middle of games, but should not handle the ball in the last 4 minutes   Yogi was fouled on that last 3 in regulation

    Is he saying that court is greater than Assembly Hall?

    Indiana vs New Orleans Game Thread

    No doubt the BTN commentators are awful.  Both of them stumble on a lot of words.   My feed is good though, and you can cancel in the first month instead of paying more.  This feed is $10 to watch, less than paying to drink beer and watch it at the bar.

    NO plays the Jimmy Chitwood stall until the shot clock reaches single digits, then drives and usually misses the layup.  This is the worst team we've played this year.

    Indiana vs New Orleans Game Thread

      Sorry fellas, I'm crossing that picket line.  They're going to get my money for tonight's game.  It's IU basketball!!  Of course I'm going to do what I need to do to watch
  20. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can become who you need to be.  It doesn't get any deeper than it was yesterday. Thankfully we have the lowly Titans before our playoff game.  If we can boost our confidence with a nice showing next Sunday, we can have a little momentum before our home playoff game.     I don't beleve I'm as pessimistic as some of you...am I a Colts sunshine pumper?  (Minus that awful Trent Richardson of course)
  21. Let's recap some first half issues.   Colts stop the Cowboys on 3rd down, forcing a punt.  Freeman taunts, ultimately giving the Cowboys a touchdown.   The Colts hand the ball to Trent Richardson (??!) on 3rd and 12.   The Colts audible to a fake punt when they see the defender leave our wide out alone.  McAfee throws a beautiful first down pass, the scrub drops it.  The next play is a Dallas touchdown.   Dwayne Allen drops three first down catches.   TY isn't playing because the Colts already have a home playoff game, Dallas is fighting for a playoff spot with a running back that just had surgery on his hand.   But.....there it is.  The Colts have a home playoff game no matter what happens this week or next.  Don't freak out guys, we have a home playoff game.  Anything can happen in the playoffs.  I've thought of throwing the remote control a few times this game, but it ultimately doesn't matter.  Have another beer and smile.

    Is there anywhere you can go...

          It feels to me like we got a whole lot.  Televised practice too.  It comes with being ranked #1.
