    IUFB: No Divisional Format Starting 2024

    Absolutely- print up the shirts & hats! I know the Purdoo game is protected, but will it necessarily be the last game of the year still?
  2. Tucker should tattoo "Don't hire me" on his forehead. He is not only a sleeze but apparently dumb too.

    (2024) - PG Boogie Fland to Kentucky

    Are any of the 3 realistically one & done?

    IU vs UK back on

    Agreed. Will Cal even be around for all of this? Will Woodson?

    Yep. " HARDEN VOL. 7 BASKETBALL SHOES $160" to be exact.

    IU Basketball News and Notes

    I like this since the 80's were the best decade. Plus the more recent shoes were non-descript crap. If IU has to wear Adidas they should at least look like Adidas. What are these? They look like terry cloth left-overs from a low budget Sci Fi movie.

    Only a Class C misdemeanor? Pfft, sounds like team Captain material for KU.

    (2024) - Liam McNeeley to UConn

    Not questioning what you are saying, but asking 'why?' What is the advantage of making a secret committment? I can see a few days or a week to set-up some kind of announcement or reveal (although not my thing.) But beyond that....what am I missing?

    (2024) - PG Curtis Givens III to LSU

    .....To never be heard of again.
  10. Bell's bad play-calling is only equaled by the terrible execution by players. Dropped passes, incredibly stupid sacks. Sheesh IU is a dumb team all around.

    I'm cheering for an epic beat down, like 63-0. #1 sick of hearing about CU #2 not a fan of Shaduer.

    That is good stuff! Of course looking at their freakish beasts like Edey and Haas it could be the island of Dr Moreau!

    Absolutely, not buying Newton @ 6'3" either.

    I think that is reasonable though. A lot of new &/or unproven players = skepticism. IU has talent, now they have to prove that translates to wins. Mich State is in a similar situation, but Izzo's history of covering for sexual predators, I mean success, gives him the benefit of a doubt.

    His point is, 'you get hit in football.' That wasn't even the 'dirtiest' play in that game. The fact it resulted in an injury doesn't mean it was automatically unacceptable. Why aren't you as concerned about Sanders attempt to poke the CSU player in the eyes? He could have permanently blinded him!! Your outrage seems unwarranted based on the circumstances.

    Agreed, but he's a big personality and is the new shiny thing, it has been a compelling story so far.....I am calling my shot that his approach is not sustainable though. I'll call my shot and say: A) CU is gonna wilt under the constant spotlight, losing at least 4 games and B) Deion won't be at Colorado in 3yrs. I am not sure if he's a good coach or not, at Jackson St and so far at CU he's gotten by on superior talent. Good win at TCU, but struggled at times againsts overmatched NU & CSU at home, actually shoulda lost Sat.

    SEC does look very pedestrian. That brings up a question, who looks like a really good/great team though? I haven't watched Michigan, USC, Penn State or Washington(!) yet. Georgia, Texas, FSU, OSU, ND....none of them look like #1 to me. I am SOOOOO ready for Bama to lose a couple more games and be out of the discussion. DO. NOT. LIKE.

    They Fired Tom Allen!

    Oh man, I would have to puncture my ear drums to keep from hearing that unbelievably annoying, gravely voice!!

    They Fired Tom Allen!

    I am not one that is advocating for him to be fired, but will answer any way. If IU makes a bowl this year he is completely off the hot seat and likely gives him a couple more years at very least. IU football expectations are very low. Now, do I think that is gonna happen? ..........
  20. Defintely seems like a ND player under Brey. Hope not the new regime though, I'd love to see him as a Hoosier since he can shoot and I grew up in Greenfield.

    They Fired Tom Allen!

    I just confirmed, per Indystar: If, for example, he were to be fired without cause following the 2023 season, Indiana University would still owe him more than $20 million. Beginning Dec. 1, 2024, IU’s duty falls to just 50% of that remaining income, a substantially smaller amount. Termination on that date, for example, would require the university to pay Allen a little under $8 million, and that number would fall under $6 million a year later. In other words, nothing is gonna happen until after 12/1/24.

    Well, sure but I don't think the biggest issue with your proposition is with IU or even money. I can't imagine any scenario where Meyer returns to a job the level of IU. Can't hurt to make the call though.
  23. The IU offense is pretty discouraging, but in effort to be positive, the O line has improved a couple of levels. Granted it could not possibly have gotten any worse, but still.
  24. Not as fast as they are moving downfield. 2min scoring drives will keep the D fresh....ugh
  25. Yeah, he's not real imaginative, is he?
