Charlotte also sucks, and Florida International has never cared about athletics. So, that's three cupcake games. Though, I absolutely hate that stretch between Washington and Ohio State.

Be thankful it's not football, or else those NAIA championship contenders would shred the Hoosiers football team.

Dude, I'm pirating, full stop at this rate, and no apologies, and I'll probably even give a few bucks to those rogues if they are doing a good job. When I first joined here, I went on a little tirade on the confusion about joining internet services, but then things have only gotten worse as Spectrum (my internet provider) is throwing a fit about cable networks with their war against Disney.

Please tell me they will actually honor that.

In honor of the last coach who face planted on his way out of the program. If you lived in Wisconsin, no wonder you'd be an alcoholic - 83 The 2037 MAC Champion Indiana Hoosiers - 20

Too bad nobody has told Tom that ties were eliminated after 1995.

Now, if this was a UIndy forum, I'd comment on how impressive they were given they were picked as GLVC champion contenders and ranked in the NCAA Division II Top 20. Plus, you gotta remember they did beat Tennessee on the road a few years ago. But... We're the Indiana Hoosiers forum, so let's look at our guys, and that three point game is likely going to be a big problem this season if we keep hitting bricks like that.

Probably? More like definitely.

Tom Allen always felt conservative with his playcalling, but with the season we had and the opponent we were playing, we really should have gone all in, not just for playing spoiler, but to give the athletes a sense of pride. He just doesn't have the heart or gumption, and that will be his downfall.

Which one is this? #1,495?

"80 pound Jaylin Lucas for the win!" - Tom Allen

Big Ten refs see how bad the Lions are playing and realize they gotta step in, like usual.

I was going to joke about them playing Iowa, but they already did beat them 31-0.

Watch as we choke this game, however.

Realistically? Jason Candle, the current head coach at Toledo, and even he probably would balk at such a garbage program like Indiana.

Just be thankful you didn't order it in Kokomo or you would have gotten hair to go with it.

I mean, it's that time of the year everyone is hoping to get a free taco.

Those Weirdos Over at Happy Valley - 55 "Tonight on 'Wings'; Ah, who cares." - 14

Especially one with money.

I dunno, usually you're stuck in the bathroom the following morning.

Tom Allen on approaching the rest of the season - CBSSports.com At least he's finally being honest for a change, but you don't want your coach admitting "yeah, we're gonna lose". It's probably going to demotivate the players who likely aren't interested in giving it their all as it is.

Yeah I won. Barely made a dent thanks to skipping two weeks.

But, we've had this problem for decades. While Bob Knight was winning, the IU football program struggled to win six games every year as we kept swapping out coaches every four years until Bill Mallory showed up, and athletics was like "well... it'd be nice if we could find someone who could win... but we'll always have the Rose Bowl", and bear in mind that college football, while big, wasn't the corporate leviathan it is today. When our college basketball program was going through its down period here in the 2000s as coach after coach failed, we could have tried to invest some additional funding into the football program as an insurance policy in the event basketball ever slipped back into the single digit win seasons, but besides the obligatory stadium upgrades as a result of the Big Ten Network (not to mention Michael McRobbie's general hatred of sports in general), we just chose not to. This university always talks in riddles about their non-existent support for football. It's like, they don't want to support it, but they don't want to be public about it, either, knowing that saying it will cause them to become another UConn.

Oh, don't worry; he'll just bring in a bunch of JUCO guys and benchwarmers from the portal, like always. And then have yet another quarterback struggle as the team goes 1-11.

That is pretty much the case. The buyout is likely keeping Allen around, and even if Allen does get fired, I doubt Indiana University makes much of an effort to hire a significant coach.
