My takeaway from last night is simply this. I don’t mind getting beat, but I really dislike the team I root so hard for to consistently beat themselves. That’s what IU and Tom Allen are at this point. We still only recruit in the bottom third of the conference which leads to lack of depth. We play kids before they are physically ready because they are the more talented player, which leads to injury. To make things worse, our coaching staff acts way in over their heads, as if the real HC got tossed by the refs and the football equivalent to Shooter from Hoosiers is tasked with leading the team. 

Allen has a TON of work to do in the offseason (Hiring a solid OC and recruiting large OL/DL holes on the roster) to keep this program at present even and even more work next year to grow it to a relevant level. Hopefully he has a network of solid coaches he can rely on to help him through his clock management and in game adjustment/awareness issues. Time will tell and I’m certainly rooting for him that he will.  

Well after going back to bed and getting another 4 hours of sleep, I woke up, and was hoping the game was a bad dream.  :)  

That was an awful way to finish off a good season. 

Talent wasnt the reason we lost that game

This is why 5-7 wouldn't surprise me. There's a far better chance we flub up a game against Ball State or UConn than upsetting a ranked opponent. 

Good job Tom Allen on wasting all the TO’s.

Every time I sell myself on Tom Allen he has a game that makes me re-think things

Why do I put myself through this?  

Incredible meltdown, even by IU football standards. 

Nope, everyone but the IU coaching staff.

This is frighteningly starting to remind me of our Peach Bowl game years ago against the Vols. ... If we don't sustain a drive here, we're cooked. 

Right where we want them...red zone.

I always thought Peyton was named after that famous quarterback, Gordon Ramsey.

When was the last time Indiana won  a bowl game? 

Yeah, but IU hasn't won a bowl game since 1991, either.

In case anyone was wondering, Ramsey’s dad also coaches in Ohio

Props to Wikipedia for helping out the announcer dropping a Kilroy's reference.

That is very true.  BUT a WIN will feel much better than an L. 

Someone please screen capture that incredulous Vols fan while the long-suffering IU fan behind him sits looking really annoyed.

WHOP's biggest play was in the wrong direction,.  :(
