Based on what? I love Hep. I miss him. But there were fans calling him Coach Hype after his first game where we nearly lost to Nicholls State and went and gave up 60+ points to a bad Minnesota team. He wasn't a miracle worker.

You keep saying this, It's a hard job, but it's not like we should just disband the program. We're close.

Like it or not, that's the reality to a lot of recruits.

Ok, you seriously have no idea what you are talking about. I didn't say he would just get handed the keys to some SEC job, but he would absolutely get a lot of interest. His "track record of failure" is at a traditionally poor program. This isn't a video game where you take 5 seconds to briefly look at stats and then move on.

No, I'm the same way. And it has nothing to do with Crean. Football is just my favorite sport. Unfortunately, southern IN is like another planet when it comes to trying to discuss football with people.

No one would care about his overall record. If he takes us to 7-8 wins, it would get a lot of attention. This is looked at as an impossible job. Wilson is pretty well respected.

Yeah, no. If he gets us to a bowl, he's getting an extension.

Except that, you know, we have grabbed a bunch of 3 and 4 stars the last few years, finished in the Top 40-50 nationally up around teams like Mizzou and Baylor, and finished in the top half of the B1G. People seem to be ignoring this for some reason, deferring back to the WOE IS ME crap because our class has started out slow (as it does annually). We've finally put some momentum together...it's time to win.

They are free. There is a link to poster requests on iuhoosiers.com that I will post below. You can see the posters in some of the media day pics. A player (#15) with Lets Dig In on it. Pretty sharp. http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sb_output.aspx?form=6

Its these types of insights that keep me coming back here.

Thanks for taking the time to tell us that you don't care.

So, we hired a high caliber coach, but the admin doesn't want to win? Quality logic there.

Happy 80th! Whoa! http://www.iuhoosiers.com/view.gal?id=181631

That's big George Taliaferro, by the way.

We have a good coaching staff. Wilson was a hot name when we hired him. WMU hardly has a "big time coach." Our staff doesn't get forever, but we've got to let them develop something instead of just giving up and going after the next shiny new thing. And what "big time coach" would come here? We could offer $6-7 mil and many would still laugh at us. Let Wilson build something. Hell, IU fans were already grumbling about Hep before he passed away.

We can beat UM. I know, until we do it, it's hard to pick a W, but we can beat them.

I expect to win that, but there's no "sadly." They are pretty good.

What big defensive improvements are you expecting to see during strength training workouts with the strength coach in June?

Its snapchat. It's par for the course. If you don't like it, stop following it. He knows who he is trying to appeal to.

Are we talking about the same Tom Crean? Have you been under a rock?

Its apparently going to be a technology/broadcasting center in AH. Although both things you mentioned are happening. MS will add rehab and nutrition areas which will allow the football locker room to be expanded.

What?

It appears that you're right.

It's likely the SEZ. That involves the entire AD. It's not housing.

Its a club sport, so no. Cuban is probably just there to show support.
