    Glass's vote of confidence

    Again I say, if this is the case, why is IU the doormat? Bill Mallory didn't get the 'top' players, but went bowling in year three. I guess what it takes to impress me is not signing top-rated recruits, but what happens on the gridiron after we get them into Memorial Stadium. You must admit that if we've had top 40 recruiting classes the past three years, we should have achieved at least .500 this season given the level of competition we faced.

    What are they? I'm sure they are team bests, and include most uniform and helmet changes! LOL!!!!!!

    Glass's vote of confidence

    If this is the case, then why are we still the doormat of the big ten? Coaching? Bill Mallory may not have brought the "top" recruits, but was able to go bowling year three. So far: Year. Overall Big ten big ten division ranking 2011 Indiana 1–11 0–8 6th (Leaders) 2012 Indiana. 4-8 2-6. 5th (Leaders) 2013 Indiana 5–7 3–5 4th (Leaders) 2014 Indiana 4–8 1–7 7th (East) Indiana: 14–34 6–26 Total: 14–34 Given the overall weakness of the big ten this season, can you really say we are improving? Better yet, if you were another university shopping for a coach, given the above record, would you be interested in Wilson?

    T Coleman to the Falcons

    What screwed AT was the fact that he was drafted by a terrible Phoenix Cardinal team that had a rookie offensive line that left him punished. It shortened the career of a great, durable college back that held touchdown, game yardage, and carry stats that took decades to break. Forty carries a game was not unusual for him. For those of us around in '87-'88, and who know AT, he is one-of-kind. I wish Coleman well, and hope that if his career ends early, he can find the same contentment AT has.

    Not saying Coleman didn't do well in his time here, just that it'd be nice to see him finish the job. Interested to see though, if his departure will come into play should IUSB have another substandard season.

    You guys earned the cigar! Two big ten wins deserves some Johnnie Walker as well!

    Here's a perfect example of what college sports has come to.

    T Coleman to the Falcons

    I understand sports these days, that's the problem. It used to be that college athletes took pride in representing their schools, and valued a degree. They were team oriented instead of 'me' oriented. Thompson could have left IU early, but instead played a fourth year and continued to help his team win. Too bad college sports are not for student-athletes anymore. It's all about the money. The fact that all big ten games are ESPN or another pay network, ads are displayed in Assembly Hall, and that the hall is soon to be renamed for its latest donor is disappointing.

    T Coleman to the Falcons

    happens too often. Good player leaves ahead of his eligibility. Worse yet it is celebrated by fans. We need to get back to recruiting athletes that are COMMITTED to IU and not to a fat payday! Why can't we recruit guys like van waiters, anthony Thompson, etc...? I think it's just too much work for our current coaching staffs.

    Bears talking to Kevin Wilson

    Update: Fred Glass is also being approached to take over the vacated GM position. "Fred has done a remarkable job of attracting fans and developing IU's branding. He could fit into the Bears management team fairly seemlessly. His friendship with Wilson is already solid, which could facilitate front office interaction. And Glass' ingenious idea of tying season basketball tickets to the mandatory purchase of football tickets shows acumen and fits in well with the Bears business model." Maybe a both or nothing deal!

    Caleb Cornett no longer with the team

    And was hanging with Bill Cosby.

    Whats the buyout on Wilsons contract?

    Tell that to Bill Cosby!

    1.5 MILLION! C'mon Varsity Clubbers, step up!

    Wait until next year?

    More like a goat roper. IU football fans have become so accustomed to losing in the last 20 years, it has destroyed their sense of objectivity when it comes to judging a coach's ability.

    NO MORE B.S., FIRE WILSON!

    How many lame excuses will continue to flow to cover the fact that Wilson is just a poor coach? Here's the real tipoff, for you Wilson die-hoards, goes right to character. After giving up 571 total yards and losing to Bowling Green, in Wilson's comments on the radio with Fischer, he immediately expressed that 'in a close game like this, He told Del Grosso that we can't afford to miss field goals.' What a jerk! If that is the kind of self-serving son of a b that is running this program, it's no wonder we can't win. The man will throw anyone under the bus to save himself. How can a coach rationalize a loss in a 90 point game by saying that a single field goal should determine the outcome of a 60 minute game. A good coach would take the blame for not using the other 59:56 outside the kick attempt. Let's at least try to restore integrity to IU football by canning dumbbell, and hiring someone, anyone of honor.

    NO MORE B.S., FIRE WILSON!

    Our defense still sucks, but to Wilson's credit, he has control over his players and staff enough to get bad publicity buried before anyone can raise a ruckus. Wilson will not get us to a bowl game, and will never break .500 in big ten play. Stoops may be available for the Wilson job after this season though.

    IU vs PSU Post Game Thread

    And for you younger listeners, this downhill slide began because Varsity Club members influenced former AD Clarence Doniger to can IUs winningest coach, Bill Mallory for not getting us to the Rose Bowl during the height of Big Ten football. The Peach, All-American, Liberty and others were not good enough for us. Now we link Student Football tickets with Basketball, just to sell student tickets! What B.S. The jerks who supported trashing our upper-half football program have been passing out the Jim Jones Kool-Aid with every coach since. Let's ditch coach style points and phony talk for a REAL blue-collar, lunchbox carrying, no bullsh!t coach. Why wave the Wilson flag any longer, when we all know it's like trying to make chicken soup from chicken ....!

    Indiana at Michigan Post Game Thread

    My beef with Glass is REQUIRING students who want basketball tickets to purchase football tickets! Commie bastard!

    Stop with the fire Wilson nonsense

    Just returned from the big house. If anyone says Wilson has this program headed in the right direction, they are deceiving themselves. Today showed the utter lack of skill on the coach's part in teaching the skills and laying out strategy to beat a less than mediocre opponent. Examples; second quarter failed flea-flicker, third quarter, Coleman lined up at quarterback, time out In first half because offense did not get play in time to avoid delay, two hurried plays on the first series of the third quarter that resulted in two Coleman dive plays to the left that failed miserably. Let's ditch the trick plays and teach our team tackling, passing, receiving, and blocking. Michigan fans were laughing at our play calls even more than they booed their own! Please Glass, if you are reading this, spare IU the humiliation of another season with Coach Buffoon at the helm!

    Poor coaching, at least that is what we've been led to believe since CKW canned Doug.

    Sudfeld out for the season

    Do you mean like the 2014 season? Indiana state, Bowling Green, north texas, a weak Iowa, a weak Michigan, Penn State, Rutgers and Purdue. C'mon, Wilson couldn't go .500 against half of the 5a high schools in Indiana. His clock management skills are nonexistent, and he hasn't developed an offense that can perform beyond the front-liners. No more Wilson BS, time for the Hoosier nation to swallow its pride and admit hiring Mr. Oklahoma was a mistake!
