    POTFB 1/14 @ 7 PM FS1

    There is absolutely, never, EVER, an excuse to lose to f***ing Purdue 8 times in a row. Absolutely inexcusable. These aren't great, or even that good of Purdue teams either.

    IUBB @ Wisconsin - 1/7/21 @ 7:00 ET on FS1-TV

    Seriously, the B1G can suck a ******* dick. I hate our refs so much.

    Had it. Good effort. We started missing shots, and the refs are too much to overcome. Good effort tonight.

    IUBB vs Maryland - 01/04/21 @ 8:00 on BTN

    21 points in the first half. 0-9 from three. Archie knows offense like Crean knows defense.
  5. Or start an investigation into our football program for some bullsh1t reason.
  6. Jeremy Hollowell Ronnie Johnson Terone Johnson Hanner Perea Austin Etherington Kelsey Barlow Donnie Hale Tell me you'd want even 1 of the above kids on our team. All of them from Indiana.
  7. That's a really good pick-up, both for OL depth and PR as a program. We're an attractive option for transfers looking to get some good playing time for an emerging program. Hopefully we get some guys on the DL as well.

    Oscar Tshiebwe stepping away from WVU. Seems to have regressed during his sophomore year, maybe he needs a change of scenery. Boy I wouldn't mind Archie making a run at him. I remember we were involved with him briefly.

    9 B1G teams currently ranked in the AP top 25. IU is not one of them. We definitely have an uphill battle to finish in the top half of the conference this year.

    1-0 this week

    Despite an 0-2 start to conference play, the season is still absolutely salvageable. It starts with beating Penn State and Maryland to even out our conference record. Also need to just freaking beat Purdue. I also think it's likely we could steal a few on the road this year with fans not being in attendance, therefore much less adversity to deal with in other teams' venues.

    What Can IUBB do to Revive Your Excitement/Confidence?

    If Bruce Pearl could stop cheating his butt off, I'd say hire him yesterday. He has a unique ability to inject a lot of life into a program, which is desperately needed at IU. The only downside is we would almost certainly end up on probation, if history is any indication.

    What Can IUBB do to Revive Your Excitement/Confidence?

    I'm not ready to cut ties with Archie, but I'll admit my confidence in the direction we're heading is shot. Worse, my interest in IU basketball has never been lower. Maybe it's because the coronavirus taught me I can live without sports, who knows. We are clearly not winning the recruiting battles we need to. Losing our top targets to Creighton, Georgetown, and Purdue is quite a gut check of where we are as a program. This is a problem because it doesn't appear Archie is going to be coaching circles around anyone and finishing in the top 5 of the conference despite having lesser talent. Part of his philosophy is "getting older". How many of the guys who have stayed in the program have truly gotten better? It pains me to say this because I like the kid, but maybe Rob Phinisee just isn't that good. It doesn't seem like he has what it takes to be a starter on a team that's trying to compete for conference titles. Has Al Durham gotten any better? We're just not any better than we were 4 years ago as a basketball program.
  13. It's ridiculous to call the Outback Bowl a no-win situation for IU football. We haven't won a bowl game since 1993, so that monkey needs off our backs immediately. I don't care what bowl, or who it's against. Throw out the records of each team; the history books will say (if we win) we beat an SEC team in a January bowl game in the state of Florida. That is positive momentum for the program, especially since Tom Allen is trying to expand the footprint of our program and recruit in SEC territory, specifically Florida.

    (2021) SF - Aminu Mohammed to Georgetown

    2021 class has gotta be the biggest disappointment recruiting-wise in recent memory, based on expectations. No disrespect to Logan Duncomb because I think he'll be a really good player for us. But man, all the in state talent we were in on plus Mohammed and Mason Miller. Huge whiff.

    Neither. Agent stuff.

    I saw that happen live, it was quite odd. I almost didn't believe what I was seeing. One of their assistant coaches was consoling the kid like he was a child. Oh, and some rumors out there on Brooks. Basically he may be ineligible currently, the calf injury is a cover.

    Welp I'd say it's about time to head over to Rupp Rafters.

    (2021) SF - Aminu Mohammed to Georgetown

    Georgia doesn't get that scholarship to give until Fall 2021. If he wants to go to UGA and enroll after the semester break, he'll need to pay his own way for a semester.

    (2021) SF - Aminu Mohammed to Georgetown

    Not all 5 stars are created equal. He doesn't have to sell everyone on his top 15 ranking. His numbers are video game-like though, and his measurables and athleticism are off the charts. Aminu would make us better, no doubt. We should all be ecstatic if he comes to IU. We really need recruiting momentum.

    (2021) SF - Aminu Mohammed to Georgetown

    That DJ White/Eric Gordon team would have been in the Final 4. Follow that up with Armon Bassett and Devin Ebanks. Those teams would have been really good. Frustrating.
  21. Correct, as well as the Oral Widemouth Center. Glad McRobbie tackled the important issues.
  22. "Being honest, I haven’t educated myself well enough on Adolph Rupp or just the whole situation at hand to really give you my thoughts on it, from what I do know, I would like to see a name change." Just a hunch, but those boys who marry their sister cousins might have a problem with someone who literally admits to being completely ignorant on a subject, yet catapulted himself to the forefront of knee-jerk reactions and fake do-goodism by declaring his support for the endlessly slippery slope of changing a building's name because "muh feelings".

    (2022) PG Bruce Thornton

    Just don't understand how an Ohio State can pull that off but we can't. Pulling an out of state 5 star is no problem for them. DJ Carton leaves, no problem, just snag Bruce Thornton from SEC country.

    Hopefully Georgia, worried about Purdue with their momentum recently though. Has he even visited IU or PU? Can't remember who else is in his top 5.
