And TV Ted Valentine in 1992. I don’t think a lot of people realize what a truly great team that was.

Shocker.

I actually thought about him. Obviously some baggage there, but I think we need to make a splash like that if we’re ever going to make the football program consistently relevant.

Woody apparently didn’t clog any toilets.

I’m not condoning what has come out regarding what he did, but I just wonder what the rest of the story is. I find it hard to believe he just decided to drive through Taco Bell at 3 in the morning to cuss some people out. Did he pay for an order and then they refused to serve him? (a common occurrence these days at fast food restaurants, especially with mobile orders). Whatever happened, he certainly needs to understand the danger he put himself in with the way he reacted.

I’m not defending Allen. But Kevin Wilson sucked as a head coach in every way possible.

I love how Kevin Wilson has become such a great coach here. He was 8-32 in the Big Ten before Tom Allen came, lol.

Back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, I always bought Street & Smith. Even way back then, they’d have probably a first through fifth team All-Americans (25 players) and then they’d have several pages listing high honorable mention and honorable mention. It was the most comprehensive I knew of back then.

He’s the starting QB for St. Francis in Fort Wayne (NAIA).

And he’s no Jawaan Howard.

Just to pass time before the McNeeley announcement, I used my NET-like computer model that I posted here during basketball season on college football (FBS-only games). These generally track fairly close to the human polls, but not this year so far: (Indiana is #97) 1 Oklahoma 2 Ohio St 3 Penn St 4 Washington 5 Michigan 6 Oregon 7 Florida St 8 Texas 9 Notre Dame 10 Duke 11 Mississippi 12 North Carolina 13 USC 14 Alabama 15 Oregon St 16 LSU 17 Air Force 18 James Madison 19 Georgia 20 Kansas St 21 Tennessee 22 Miami FL 23 Clemson 24 Utah 25 Iowa

Well, we started out good. Maybe this week we change to longer practices to help keep the intensity level up for more than one quarter.

I’m the last one to get on a message board and bash coaches. But if there is one thing I’m extremely disappointed in with Tom Allen, it’s our (lack of) defense. I thought defensive acumen was one thing Allen brought to the table. I’ve read the arguments that a better offense would help the defense. While I understand that, I’m not sure I agree it would make much difference. I look at a program like Iowa, whose offense has been terrible, probably worse than ours. Their defense scratches and claws and keeps them in every ballgame, even against really good teams. That’s their culture. That’s what I hoped Allen was bringing to Indiana. That’s not been our culture since long, long before Allen, I realize. Our culture has always been closer to “when things go bad, throw in the towel.” Unfortunately, even though he’s supposed to be a defensive coach, Allen hasn’t had any success in changing that.

Amen

He’s actually a good offensive mind.

It was just called the Bob Knight Show. We got it on Sundays at noon. Some may remember the time in 1981 when he had a donkey on as a guest.
