Off topic.  Wonder what got into Michigan today.  

Defense continues 3rd quarter excellence.  Now we need to stomp on them and score.

Where do these idiots get the idea that IU thought we would run roughshod over Wake?  Not one thing I have seen would make anyone say something idiotic like that.

OK Purdue's are worse...  I would like the helmets if the reds matched.  The different color Indiana just makes me cringe. 

Other than the god awful helmets.  I am enjoying the game.  Offense not playing great, Suds has missed quite a few wide open receivers.  Defense has been playing well.

How the heck can you forget?  The thread shows up on the left side as a thread you posted in?  :)

This one has me baffled.  Top 20 Defense vs Top 20 Offense.  Should be a pretty good game. I don't like to see anyone get hurt, but WF having the starting QB out tells me we should win. IU 24 WF 17 Going with low scores for this game.  :)

Well I graduated in '87; so at least 30 years back. 

I wouldn't put WKU that high.  I think they are a very similar team to IU.  I know in some of the preseason rankings WKU was very close to IU.

That is the key!  The defense played wll the first quarter, played awful the 2nd quarter.  Played lights out the 3rd quarter, and played OK the 4th.   I think our team could be special (for IU standards) if we could just get some consistency on the defensive side of the ball.  I saw a stat this morning, iuhoosiers.com article that talked about how the 2nd half, we held their QB to less than 1/2 the yards he got the 1st half. 

I would say it is not traditional on uniforms, but the script Indiana has been around as long as I can remember.  Have purchased a lot of clothing over the years, with Script Indiana on the front.

I was kind of surprised to see the guy back in the game.  I woud've bet he flunked the concussion tests after that hit!

My favorite is the State Flag.  It incorporates a neat look with the symbol on one side, and the interlocking IU on the other. The only helmet I don't like is the white with the big red splotch right down the center.

I say.  Why mess with success.  It is working just fine! :)

Sorry about that.  I have not ever changed the font color on here.  I wonder if it was because I was using my tablet instead of a laptop?  

I was feeling that way with about 3 minutes to go in the first half.   The defense has got to figure out a way to close out the 1/2's.   

Huh?

"but I like seeing a reason for the sportswriters to be finding anything positive in IU football. "      ​I wold amend that to  "but I like seeing a reason for ANYONE to be..... Seriously, though it is good that Howard has people talking about him early.  We got so lucky when he chose us after UAB closed shop.

Well most of the criticism happened during the 2nd quarter of the game.  It was pretty well deserved at the time..   I think we are all extremely happy IU won, but Man, that 2nd quarter was brutal to watch.

They have actually played pretty well the 1st quarter as well.  It is the 2nd quarter that is the killer.  In particular the last few minutes of the 2nd quarter.

I think it is the first time, I've ever gotten both scores correct!  

WKU has them.  :)

It wasn't to much speed.  Tegray forgot about the coverage.

Of course the ball was not catchable.  The defender wouldn't let Howard run under it.  :)

I think we need a new rule for IU football.  Coach gets a 5 minute timeout not charged between quarters.  He obviously says something to start the game, and at half time that gets the defense fired up.  The problem is they forget it by the end of the quarter.
