I think it's karma for so many students missing home games early on last year.

We're not going to go bowling if Lagow remains our quarterback, imo. It's doubtful we will if we bench him for another guy, but at this point we have to try someone else. Even if it's just for a quarter or two. Every game Lagow has a few possessions that make you go "see, he has the ability to be a starting Big 10 quarterback, he just needs to bring this for four quarters." But he never does. He'll look good for a little bit, turn around and throw a pass right to the other team, and repeat.

I'm a senior. Rutgers, Michigan State and Purdue are the 3 Big 10 games I got. I got North Carolina too so I'm pumped about that. The other 7 are the early season games against schools I've never heard of. Hope College, Houston Baptist, Southeast Missouri State, SIU-Edwardsville, Mississippi Valley State, U-Mass Lowell, and Bellarmine. After I first posted I was looking at our schedule and it looks like I got 3 of our biggest home games so I'm pretty happy with my overall ticket package. I was just surprised at first that I only got three Big 10 games because it felt like I got a lot more last year.

Have any other students gotten their tickets this year? I feel like I got much worse tickets than I got last year. I wonder if student ticket sales are up this year.

I don't know if there's anyone who would come here that would be a clear upgrade over him. I don't think he's a bad coach by any means. Recruiting seems to be improving overall. We have athletes on the field who look like they belong in the Big 10. His play calling drives me crazy though. He does things over and over again even after it's clear they're not working. I'm just worried that we're going to stay in this "getting better and coming close" limbo for forever

I'm starting to lose confidence that Coach Wilson is the right guy. Is that crazy?

We don't think Zander is a good qb. We know who he is as a player and that our offense is limited with him on the field. It's just the fact that Lagow is obviously not the answer and we need to try someone else if we want to salvage the season.

The answer probably isn't on our roster but we have to try something different if we want to salvage the season and go bowling. I'm not big on blaming one guy for a loss, but I feel that blaming Lagow for both today's loss and the Wake Forest loss is reasonable. We can't afford to lose games where our defense plays as well as it did today. Zander would severely limit our offense but honestly right now the offense is really limited by Lagow's inability to throw the ball to the right team. Wilson runs the same plays over and over again because he can't trust him with much else.

Agreed. I personally think Zander is a pretty awful quarterback but we're not getting anything from Lagow either. Give him a series or two at the start of the third and see what happens.

So that's what happens when you do that forward throw thing!

Wth is going on. The play calling has been bothering me for awhile and this game it has been absolutely terrible. If Lagow can't handle the full playbook then get someone in who can. Our defense has been outstanding and we decide to just lay down and surrender on offense.

I didn't realize that until I started reading this thread lol. No cable for me so I've gotta work with what I've got unfortunately. Being able to hear the crowd/no commentators is pretty cool though imo

Anyone watching this game with the skyzone cast on the ESPN app? I've never watched a game this way before but I'm really digging it.

If only we could combine this year's defense with last year's offense :(

Ummm, what? No strawman argument here

I don't agree with immediately releasing a guy if he's charged with a crime. This situation is different since Enis admitted to the crime, but in general I'm not a fan of it. I wouldn't want to be in a situation where I lose everything I've worked for and my life is ruined because I was falsely accused of a crime. It's easy to say cut the athlete immediately and that IU is under no obligation to give an athlete due process when you're not the one with your future on the line. Just because it's technically true doesn't mean it's right.

Agreed. I think a lot of the criticism comes from people, myself included, who love IU basketball and football but don't really care about IU's other sports very much. He's doing exactly what an athletic director should do, I just care about iufb and iubb more than IU athletics as a whole so a lot of the things he does go unnoticed. I don't like the new name at all, but it's whatever. When you donate $40 million that's what you get to do. At least "assembly hall" is still included.

I think being far away from the Indy area will be very good for him. He should be someone who really benefits from being able to focus on football 24/7, I hope he keeps that undrafted chip on his shoulder. He always seemed like a nice guy from my experiences with him, hopefully he's got a long career ahead of him.

If you know an IU Bloomington student they can get you a student ticket for $10, I did it for a friend last year, but I'm not sure if IU students from other campuses get the discount.

On the iufb website it says he rushed for 1,938 yards and 23 touchdowns his senior year of high school. Of course big 10 football is a different level but it looks like the foundation is there. It still seems like a weird move, though.

Yogi lives to fight another day. Great to see. Hopefully summer league got rid of his jitters.

http://btn.com/2016/07/20/dienhart-ranking-the-big-tens-top-10-defensive-backs/ Redshirt Jr. Rashard Fant was ranked the #10 DB in the Big 10. I'm really hoping for a big year from him. Outstanding kid.

So how are the Suns at Troy's position? Would he have a better shot with them or another team?

I don't know if I would call it an embarrassment for them. I think that what happened to us last season at Duke was embarrassing, but no one would expect these guys to compete with them. They're missing out on both a cool experience to play in one of the best venues in college basketball and an opportunity to improve by playing against a top team.

I forgot all about this law once the media quit talking about it a while back. It sucks that the Albany players are being punished for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with.
