While I appreciate the people connected sharing bits and pieces of information, let’s face it. Unless the source is Whiten, Dolson, Quinn or the King himself, it’s still just speculation. It may be 90% certain, but it isn’t 100%, and things can happen. The fat lady may be in her dressing room getting ready, but she ain’t singing yet.

Those are just the cards he's been dealt. He has said for portal transfers, he looks at production vs. potential. But everything can't be portal, every year. He's going to have to recruit and develop young guys sooner or later -- he's got those guys in waiting. However, I don't see him starting a freshman at QB ever -- so they are going to have to put the time in to convince him they are ready.

I am because she's different. She's from SEC country. She's fairly visible. Engaged with the fans and students. Not some bump on a log like the past people have been.

Lame ducks can be an even a bigger problem because they don't give a farque. He can step on toes not to worry about the ramifications cause he'll be gone.

The wild card in your analysis is Pam Whitten. Like her or not, she's a bad @$$ and wants IU athletics to be what it should be. She set the football program in the right direction, and even Cig gives her credit publicly. I am sure she's thinking basketball is up next as that has the IU tradition behind it. At least I hope so.

You and me both, although I came on after the B&W TV. But remember the first VCRs -- we thought it was so cool. And getting yelled at for taping over something. I still have the tapes down in the basement.

If he can convince the young kids to stick around and develop them, could be a solid position for several years. 2 years with mendoza, Followed by two years with one of the young kids. Rinse and repeat.

12-0. No self imposed limitations. :)

A Christmas Miracle. :)

You should enter the 21st century and use a DVR. Nobody "tapes" anymore. :)

SOB. You owe me a keyboard. :)

I think he knew going in and thus the conservative game plan, trying to avoid a complete blowout by 40 some points. Thinking a little longer term.

Nail, Slot, Rim. :)

Why won’t we sniff the CFP? No self imposed limitations my friend. What this season showed is thru coaching and scheme we can compete in the Big. What we need to add are big dogs. Upgrade the talent and athleticism and we can be on par with the OSUs, PSUs and Oregons.

I think you’ll see other non-competitive games in these playoffs. 12 teams is a lot, given the rosters of the top teams.

Definitely overachieved with this group.

That is because they have been beat on for 3 quarters.

Thats the example. Love is just bigger stronger faster than our guys. Just the way it is right now.

Absolutely. It’s like quitting.

Yeah. bullchit call. Carpenter had both feet in bounds. And the kid was in the air.

They were saying ND has 8 NFL combine invites vs IU three.

Recent history with this program is they start really slow on early Sat/Sun games after a night out on the town presumably. Add in the IU v ND festivities and it could be interesting. :)

“We” didn’t hire him. This was all Buckner’s doing. He wouldn’t have been hired if Buckner wasn’t bullying people.

I think the reality was that Dolson was trying to make a chit sandwich edible.

Exactly, he had the place given to him on a platter to be a "hero." But laziness took over and now he has tarnished his legacy and is going to go out to a chorus of boos. Sad really.
