    TOM CREAN FIRED

    OK - firemeisters. Would it be OK to dial it back a bit now with this win?? Duke lost today. UK lost today ( yay!). The players sometimes do not execute. Should the bloggers demand for the those coaches to be fired? "Fire coach K!!" C'mon - way too much armchair head coaches. How many of you should be fired in your professional positions when you step in some mud? We all do at times. I do a lot of business executive coaching and all leaders have weaknesses. Not sure Crean has fatal flaws as many executives do. What many of these viewpoints do not appreciate is the responsibilities to multiple stakeholders of an AD and BB HC. Sorry but none of you could sit on that seat on the bench or you would be doing that...

    Random IU FB Recruiting Info

    Hunter Johnson just reportedly flipped from TN to Clemson. Wonder if a year from now we can get him to flip to IU and stay home...

    (2016) WR Desmond Fitzpatrick

    Am thinking we will be a very strong team next year if D steps up. And waxing Duke in the bowl will be a recruiting pull.

    (2016) WR Desmond Fitzpatrick

    Not sure why we are going after WRs with the many we have coming back who are all underclass men plus Booth, Camion Patrick and Harris. Unless red shirting is the plan for any WR recruit. Such a thing as having too many - with no PT could lose some. BTW- What happened to Hawkins who also came here from UAB? Attended Florida but has not played college ball for 2 years. Not sure he was on the field this year.

    (2016) RB Tyus Flakes

    As a poster on another forum said, perhaps he saw the competition and did what Tommy Mister did. Kids want playing time and with our returning RBs (including Howard) and incoming Cole Gest who seems like an under the radar beast, he likely made a smart move. Maybe a.mid majors program for him?

    Patrick towles

    As it is we will have a stable of receiver studs next year - will be very strong there. Need to be sure we have a QB who can connect with them.

    Am following on ESPN play by play so no TV. Who is missing the defensive assignments?? Making their QB look like a Hiesman candidate like we usually do...

    Maybe Tommy Mister bailed too early. Could use a different touch without Howard

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    North Carolina lost the other day. Fire Roy Williams! Duke lost a game - fire Coach K! Wichita State lost - fire their coach!

    IU vs Maryland Game Thread

    Just got off an international flight and in reviewing first half notice Howard is not running but it looks like he started. Did he get hurt?

    IU vs. Michigan Post-Game Thread

    If we had a competent secondary we'd be a top 25 team. Most of the TDs were uncontested gimmies. Not sure why we do not learn from that pattern all year and make necessary adjustments.

    Game Thread - Beat. Michigan.

    Today will be our signature win of the season and then we win our final contests. Our guys too often have been playing to not lose rather than playing to win - a big mindset difference that links to performance. Also - One of the writers in Chicago Tribune today remarked sardonically about our fans leaving at half time regardless of the excitement of the contest. We have a reputation...
  17. It's not impossible for us to run the table from here if we get our act together over the bye week. The receiver coverage scheme is not working so let's hope these smart and highly paid coaches have a Plan B.

    IU @ MSU Post-Game Thread

    Not sure why coach abandon the running game in 4th qtr. The freshman kid grabbed some yards the couple of times he touched the ball. Burning some clock would have given our D some breathing space. Did Redding get any carries? Did not see him. Anyway, a bye week will give Howard a chance to heal. At full strength, look out Iowa and maize/blue. Could finish 8-4. If the defense shows up...

    This just in... Antonio Allen also cleared and ready to play. Was a case of mistaken identity. Was volunteering at the food pantry when the alleged bust went down. Oh my...

    Let's talk Penn State

    If we have our healthy studs back and do not suffer the post-Missouri let down like last year we could really put it to them (PSU) in their own sandbox.
