Now if only Darren Hiller can be hired somewhere else.

This team is going to be the death of me. They can't beat crappy Penn State in Happy Valley, and then stomp all over a ranked Ohio State at home.

IUPUI is now 357th out of 358 teams in the NET rankings. Only Delaware State over in the MEAC is somehow worse.

A solid QB for IU. I like this.

When you lose to a program that had a fanbase not bother celebrate its NIT victory a few years back and historically has been dwarfed by the football program (ironically the inverse problem we have), it's never a good sign. It's even worse when you lose thanks to poor shooting and player management, and especially after Penn State was off for weeks. This isn't time to panic, because what's the point, but... it sure feels like it's gonna be another one of those years where we struggle to an 8-10 year in conference play and have our usual embarrassment in the tournament.

Can't believe this was our first program victory against Maryland. Didn't think it could happen given how cold we were at the charity stripe. However, this was one of the things I was hoping for coming into this season, and I assume we'll be bumped up to #7 in the national rankings. This should also be a huge confidence boost to the team.

Lol, news articles are talking about how "Expensive" Indianapolis is for them SEC fans who want to make the journey up here. Indiana is one of the cheapest states in the country to live in and Indianapolis is car-friendly to a fault.

Ah, **** my life.

Man, they've been getting all the breaks.

The problem with modern-day refs is that it's a part-time gig that relies heavily on technology. These guys need to be full-time employees that should study tape and not be beholden to instant review.

Welp, Purdue's gonna win with a chip-shot.

And the Vols get stuffed.

And we're going to OT.

And the Crappy Cocktails ice it.

IUPUI had to cancel tonight's game with Cleveland State and the New Year's Day game with Purdue Fort Wayne due to COVID cases on the team. Though, given how bad the team is... maybe cancelling the season might be in order?

I know this is the "Tom Allen" thread, but is there any chance to discuss how on Earth they still believe Darren Hiller deserves another chance? The offensive line has not done a good job protecting our QBs the past few seasons and he does not seem to be excelling at motivating his players. If money is the issue, I can get that, but... it's been 5 years, and there should more than enough evidence that he doesn't know what he's doing.

More bowl cancellations: *Arizona Bowl cancelled, as Central Michigan replaces Miami in the Sun Bowl instead. Though who's to know if that'll even happen. *The Holiday Bowl got cancelled hours before kickoff.

Last time we played Valpo was... *checks records* more than 20 years ago?!

Man, screw Carmel. My old 1930s athletic gym over at Arsenal Tech has more clout and heritage than their fancy rectangle ever will.

You upload from your mobile phone? The phone's image registry should allow you to do basic edits like rotate a picture in 90-degree increments. Meanwhile, IUPUI is really making the case they are the worst team in the country, though I strongly believe this is because they have absolutely nobody who has any talent. Matt Crenshaw is way over his head this year, and I seriously hope he can get anyone who has anything resembling skills next year.

And as we all know, the worst place on Earth (besides West Lafayette) is Jacksonville, Florida.

Hawaii is pulling out of the Hawaii Bowl, meaning Memphis travelled all the way out there just for a free vacation.

Story of our lives; everyone gets to have fun except us.

What the hell, it's not like we had other plans that day.

Tech beat Cathedral for the first time in over 5 years, further causing discord in Class 4A.
