This will change, but... :)

https://athlonsports.com/college-football/big-ten-coaches-talk-anonymously-about-conference-foes-2017 “It’s always a hard place to win and has been for 50 years." "Kevin Wilson didn’t work with the culture, and that got him in the end." "Tom Allen can do what Indiana needs to win because he’s more like Bill Mallory than any coach that’s been there since. He’s worked in the state before, and he gets it — because you have to really ‘get’ Indiana to be successful. He’s got the character Wilson didn’t have to manage the Indiana people and get players to trust you." "Wilson sold his offense to try and get better talent in there. Besides Ohio State, we didn’t see an offense that had the kind of ceiling Indiana’s did. Mike DeBord runs something that’s as appealing as Wilson’s offense when it comes to recruits. DeBord is so efficient as a coordinator. His offenses show so much confidence and great timing on film. It was a great hire for Allen." "Defensively, they’re going to be even better. Allen was a great coordinator before he got the head job. We looked at his defense at USF last offseason against particular passing attacks. Indiana was better coached on defense, finding fits, making tackles, than we’d seen in years. We saw them identify things we wanted to do pre-snap.”

IU vs Indiana State

Are you on Twitter? There is a user there named Zane Clodfelter who seems to have an almost endless archive of IU games. Maybe send him a message?

Work has begun on the concourse level. Also, some close-ups of the new scoreboard and marching hundred hall.

The game will sell out, but you can still get them for face value through IU. All that's left is upper West and upper north end zone though.

Wednesday! Seems like an IU commit at this point.

Section 9

It's hard to replace a Dan Feeney, but they should be solid this year. There is size and depth, although the depth is pretty inexperienced. I'm not worried about the starters at all.

North end zone video board starts going up this week according to the athletics department Facebook page.

From the drone video posted above:

The main one we are focused on at the moment is down to us and Louisville. You may recall who just won the Heisman and where they went to school. So no, I can't say I am disappointed in potentially getting a dual threat quarterback with a huge arm that Louisville also wants. He also has an Iowa offer. And personally, I'm really excited about Ramsey and Tronti. We don't often get Florida's Mr. Football.

I just assumed everyone did the pre-tailgate layout.

You're right. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of this.
