Kroger Presents: Louisville vs. Indiana For the Only Time Ever

Jeff Brohm is used to beating Indiana. I love how the commentary is like "Jeff Brohm is used to coaching here as he went to the Big Ten Championship game, while Tom Allen is used to coaching here as he was a high school coach at Ben Davis". Jeez, let us know how Tom Allen will never reach glory.

Hopefully I get this one right. Louisville Hicks 34 Indiana Hoosiers 20

In that case, I'm putting the whole of the NCAA on the tree stump as that's who I was referring to.

Oh, man, I ******* suck.

NCAA will never do the death penalty again but my God, they really need to consider it for stuff like this, especially when they did it to Southern Methodist over paying students. But then again, I've always been told through inaction that bribing poor people is way worse than sexual assault of minors so what the hell do I know?

Like, we won 41-7, but it sure didn't feel that way.

This implies the 'Mores get us in the endzone.

Indiana wins this one, but it's embarrassingly close. Indiana - 27 My Boss's Alma Mater (where he actually played in the 80s) - 21

Are we sure it goes 55? It only goes 38.mp4

Man, if you finished below ME, you really suck.

Oh, Indiana can afford it. It's just they don't want to pay because it's not men's basketball. If Woodson suddenly goes 9-21 this year, the money will be there to consider it from boosters and the media rights. But football? Nah, let the cheerleader rant about how much Love Each Other is important as the quarterback he can't decide on throws his third interception of the game.

Look, football was, is, and forever shall be an afterthought at Indiana University. If they wanted football to be serious here, they wouldn't constantly be bringing in goobers from the Mid American Conference or assistant coaches with unproven track records to coach at this shithole on 17th Street and demanding people be required to buy football tickets if they want to get primo seating at Assembly Hall. ADs who go to Indiana have to dance delicately around the subject because they don't want to outright say "Indiana football is irrelevant, and we're a basketball school" as college football is what dominates the media landscape and justifies our placement in the Big Ten, but a part of me just wishes they would so we can stop it with the charade. Then we can finally have the excuse to just get loaded every Saturday and stop caring, and I can finally give up on my quest to see one bowl win before I die. Tom Allen was brought in because he wasn't Kevin Wilson. He wasn't mean, he wasn't going to upset people or cause controversy by potentially getting a lawsuit thrown at the university for possible player mistreatment. And he got the extension thanks to Indiana having two extremely unlikely seasons that saw us thrusted into the spotlight, which now seem like the exception rather than the norm. But he's just not a good coach. He can't discipline them whatsoever to avoid boneheaded penalties, and he can't develop them whatsoever, which is why he's always dependent on the transfer portal. The worst part is that he's just too loyal to his staff. It took moving heaven and earth to convince him that Darren Hiller had to go, and by all accounts, Hiller was probably his best friend. Good look telling him that Walt Bell is just as impotent on staff as Hiller. So, Allen is here to stay, 3 win seasons and all, for at least two more years.

When IU Football is finally in the MAC.

It's no fun when you're the kayak and they're the destroyer.

This is how I've always felt like Indiana's productivity goes down when they face a challenge. Nerds.mp4

He had to fire his best friend last year, I think that was too much for him to bear.

Remember guys. $20 million. That's why we can't fire him, apparently.

Oh, no... Don Fischer is still calling?

This happens all the damn time with us; the defense has to stay on the field and put up with the offense's three and out crap, and then they get tired.

I know, it's something Walt Bell has never heard of.

But you gotta score, too.

So, Washington State and Oregon State want to recreate the Pac-12 instead of just jumping into the Mountain West. Which would be bad news for the Wyoming and San Jose State type schools. But... I don't see how, beyond the brand, those two have the bargaining power to force that. If they kept one of the bigger programs, maybe, but I don't see UNLV paying exorbitant fees just to join a failing conference.
