    His girlfriend works for doctor’s office but she’s just now showing symptoms. He’s an estimator and is in and out of houses all day. He also lives very near a casino and had been near it. His symptoms were not as long lived as mine- he’s back to regular life. But, it has to be him, as the other 2 in the office got same symptoms at same time I did.

    How are the rest of your co-workers? And do you know how long their symptoms lasted?

    The number of transfers at IU is not unusual. It just sucks because we don't have as much depth as some of the bigger programs. I was not surprised by Gest's or Ronnie's decision but I'm definitely puzzled by Sampson's. He was looking at an extended role this upcoming season with the possibility of being the lead back the following year.

    After having a bye week last week, your 24th ranked Hoosiers are back on the field on Saturday to take on a Penn State team coming off of a loss to Minnesota. Penix is done for the season, so it will be up to Ramsey to run the offense the rest of the season. The bye week should have afforded Ramsey with additional reps and maybe time for coach DeBoer to install a few more wrinkles in the offense. Our defense has been playing better over the last couple of games but they will have find a way to slow KJ Hamler down. While no one seems to be giving us a chance at an upset, I think this game might be closer than many expect. It will be interesting to see how Penn St. responds after their first loss of the season and knowing that next week they have to face Ohio State.

    We are currently a 14.5 point underdog and ESPN's Football Power Index only gives us a 10.0% probability of winning on Saturday. Bill Connelly's SP+ metrics gives us a better chance of pulling the upset at 26%. In terms of overall SP+ rankings:

    Penn State (8-1):

    • Overall: 7
    • Offense: 11
    • Defense: 8
    • Special Teams: 14

    Indiana (7-2):

    • Overall: 19
    • Offense: 15
    • Defense: 35
    • Special Teams: 9

    Its Spooky Season and the Hoosiers bowl eligible! This week we welcome the Wildcats under the lights of Memorial Stadium. Although Northwestern boasts one of the most experienced defenses in the conference, their offense has been dreadful this season ranking last in conference. According to the coaches, Penix has practiced this week but will once again be a game-time decision. But Hunter Littlejohn should be back for Indiana this week after missing the last two games. Let's hope we can pack the rock and get a good crowd behind this team! 1993 (26 years!!) was the last time we won 7 regular season games. We are currently an 11 point favorite and ESPN's Football Power Index gives us an 81.0% probability of winning on Saturday. Bill Connelly's SP+ metrics give us a slightly better probability at 87%. In terms of overall SP+ rankings:

    Northwestern (1-6):

    • Overall: 76
    • Offense: 126
    • Defense: 13
    • Special Teams: 97

    Indiana (6-2):

    • Overall: 23
    • Offense: 14
    • Defense: 42
    • Special Teams: 14

    “I’m very, very happy for our kids and very, very happy for our fans, because like Tom said tonight, we’re sick of talking about how close we’ve been, one to a signature win and two to qualify for a bowl,” Glass said, speaking shortly before flying back to Bloomington with IU’s traveling party. “To hit both of those things today at Nebraska was particularly gratifying, particularly knowing Nebraska’s staff had no respect for our program.”

    Glass declined to elaborate on the implicated lack of respect, beyond saying, “They know, and I know, and our team knew, and I’ll just leave it at that.”

     

     

    thought this was interesting...

    If I remember correctly, shortly after he was hired Frost made a comment about how he would love to have Indiana on the schedule every year.

    I don't know how these figures are contrived but after 7 games, I'm damn proud of where this team currently stands. 
    From Bill Connelly himself:

    "What is SP+? In a single sentence, it's a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. I created the system at Football Outsiders in 2008, and as my experience with both college football and its stats has grown, I have made quite a few tweaks to the system.

    SP+ is intended to be predictive and forward-facing. That is important to remember. It is not a résumé ranking that gives credit for big wins or particularly brave scheduling -- no good predictive system is. It is simply a measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football. If you're lucky or unimpressive in a win, your rating will probably fall. If you're strong and unlucky in a loss, it will probably rise."

    Its October and the Hoosiers are one win away from being bowl eligible! This week we travel to Lincoln to face the Cornhuskers with hopes of winning our 3rd consecutive conference game. Nebraska is coming off a bye week but both teams are nursing some injuries. The quarterbacks for both teams are game-time decisions. Nebraska's leading RB (Maurice Washington) has already been ruled out for Saturday and backup WR/RB Wan'Dale Robinson is coming off an ankle injury. Coaches are hopeful Hunter Littlejohn will be back for Indiana this week after missing last week's game. We opened as a 1 point favorite but the line has since moved in Nebraska's favor (currently -2.5). ESPN's Football Power Index gives us a 52.3% probability of winning on Saturday and Bill Connelly's SP+ metrics give us a better probability at 68%. In terms of overall SP+ rankings:

    Nebraska (4-3):

    • Overall: 46
    • Offense: 44
    • Defense: 61
    • Special Teams: 126
    Indiana (5-2):

    • Overall: 22
    • Offense: 17
    • Defense: 41
    • Special Teams: 17
