Seems like a good fit and the Dude has played a lot of ball, I expect he'll be really good. He doesn't have to be a Heisman contender to win big. IU should still have a very good running game, defense and special teams. I don't think he had that luxury at TCU. No need for hero ball looking for the big play or forcing it, just be efficient like Rourke & Mendoza and he'll be fine. Excited to see Hoover.

I guess the Big 12 officiating crew from the NC football game is reffing this game too? Whining about the refs is weak, but they are giving UCLA a DISTINCT advantage. Not calling their grabbing & holding but calling every touch on IU. It's infuriating. IU has played pretty average, but it's not even close to equal. If it was Hoosiers would be up 10.

Brutal, but pretty sure that is NOT what the coach drew up.

Wisconsin slipping to lower half of the conference in football & basketball would make me very happy. It's like nature healing itself.

It's good to be the king. He could take a dump on the courthouse steps and people would line up to sniff it. -
I get what you are saying, and agree the pieces are there. Both lines could be better, and the schedule is managable, not a bad place to start! Losing Mendoza is obviously the single biggest loss, but I am more worried about the Defense. Moore & Fischer leave huge voids, for their intangibles as much as their talent. True, the culture of winning and expectations are in place....at Indiana!

Bold statement! I expect a down-grade at QB, DB and maybe special teams. Gonna miss Fischer at LB too. Not sure about WR. Comparable to possibly better everywhere else. What are you thinking? Wild cards are injuries and how other teams emerge. Big question is how hungry will they be. Cig will do his thing, but human nature is what it is.

Cig is definitely a proponent of "get old & stay old"

17 games is dumb and the season is too long. The Super Bowl should be this week. But as with everything with sports now, more must be better.

Wow that seems like a long time ago! I was thinking 9-3 season at that point. That's why I don't bet. -
IUFB Recruiting and Transfer Portal Updates
Hardwood83 replied to Lebowski's topic in Indiana Football Recruiting Forum
Yep that and a dependable receiver too. I don't recall many dropped passes. Not typical to have a capable receiving/excellent blocking TE. -

When the Cubs won, I was relieved- FINALLY. But this is so unexpected. IU football has been long-suffering, but not with close calls and 'shouldas' but with complete irrelevance and incompetence. I think this NC is like winning the lottery with a ticket you found on the street. Pure serendipity. -

Excellent, thanks. Couldn't help but notice there was a lot of 'LEO' in that clip!

You sir, have an exceptionally high pain tolerance....bordering on mental illness! I am so, So SO happy for fans like you. Soak this in, you richly deserve it, and I mean it sincerely. Longtime IU football fans should have this season injected right into their veins. -

It's human nature, I suppose. There is a long way to go & lots unknown, etc, but right now next season looks liks a 4 game schedue: O$U & USC at home, @ Michigan & Washington. None are impossible and right now, 3-1 seems likely.
