Magnanimous

It was very impressive what he did at Rutgers his first stint there. It also occurred after Miami, Virginia Tech and BC left the conference and schools like UConn were getting to the Orange Bowl due to the void left. It’ll take him five years to get this turned around, if he can.

This may sound sacrilegious but Don Fischer is possibly the worst radio football announcer I’ve ever heard. Great with basketball but we have the game going in the car on Sirius and he doesn’t tell you what is going on at all. “Throws it and caught....” first down? Touch down? Need to piece it together for yourself after he says what the play was because he provides no details.

It’s a work in progress but if IU did everything you recommend on here we’d be the Cleveland Browns in every sport.

There are no great college teams this year.

Sometimes it’s a matter of timing. We play this game four weeks ago and it’s probably a one score outcome.

Bedford having a rough game.

Fair point. Let’s only post if you’re right, which you were.

Correct!

Let’s try this again. After you guess, you are supposed to leave a hint about a new Hoosiers for everyone to guess on. I was the first Hoosier to score 2,000 career points. Who am I?

Here’s how it’ll go - you provide a hint in reference of a former Hoosier for everyone to guess, the person to guess it correctly then starts the next round with a new hint for a new Hoosier and so on. Can be players, coaches, media figures, or other notable individuals affiliated with the program. I’ll go first: I won Mr. Basketball in high school, played for Indiana and made a final four during my collegiate career but not with IU. Who am I?

I chose those teams for dramatic effect...somewhat. However, Minnesota is 1-3 to start the year with losses to Oklahoma, Butler, and Utah. None ranked but all decent opposition. What good does that do for Minny right now? What if we were 1-3 and our young guys had no opportunity to settle into a groove? These are tune up games. I just want bodies for our guys to go against in November. Get 6 or 7 wins under your belt, learn each other’s tendencies, get some confidence and then bring it in December when the competition ramps up.

There were with Dabo too!! We’re the next Clemson.

I want this team gelling and building confidence. What good does it do is to have Demezi and Jerome having to go up against UNC or Villanova right now? There’s enough meat on this schedule this year given who we have on this roster. Two years from now if we’re playing an OOC slate like this it’s an issue. Right now it’s just nitpicking.

Young team + crazy coach = this thread

Team’s chemistry has been very strong to start the season. I think these guys are going to enjoy growing together over the next few years.

Remember when this program couldn’t move the ball against a 2-3 zone?

Welcome to Bloomington Demezi!

Special teams blunders cost us the game.

That pass right there is the difference between Ramsey and Penix

PSU - 42 Indiana - 17 Our defense isn’t forcing enough turnovers this season to win us these kinds of games.

Was about to post this as well. These are young guys but I’m liking what I’m seeing already. This roster is starting to fortify itself and hopefully it means consistency from here on out. Archie still needs to start sprinkling in some more shooters, a Nick Zeisloft or two would be perfect, but we have some good assets now that just need time to mature as a group. They looked like a team today that enjoys playing together, which we haven’t seen since 15-16.

I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but to reiterate the quick release Penix gives us, Ramsey has been sacked 11 times this year while Penix only once.

I think we saw the last time our coaches ever call a designed run for him...

If I was an FSU fan and “we” hired Tom Allen I’d be furious. I’m very happy with him as an IU fan though.
