TTT

I will just wait for the first touchdown

Love President Whitten visibility and interest in IU sports. Both, men and ladies. Cignetti IU era football success = Regular Season coaching record = win one more game than you lose. Bowl games record = win one more bowl game than you lose. Stated he has never looked at stars regarding a player and I am sure that is true. However, he does look at an evaluation on a player as most coaches do that includes a “star” like evaluation and like most coaches also want the player to have high level character. (He like everyone else wants the best rated players regardless of whatever rating scale used) or he better have them if he wants to win in big ten and that means winning above 50%.

Did IU Ladies design a game plan to play a certain way and were going to win that particular way regardless as long as they won and then use it for prep and teaching for big ten. The same could happen vs Stetson. B.K. especially in his prime unless he was trying to make a statement win a few games IU would play a certain way even if they looked awful doing it. It seems like IU Ladies were not really trying to win as in blowout in this one but more of a celebration tour game. If not, hard to tell where this season goes.

And then possibly something new will eventually come out and consolidate for a more hefty price of course.

President Whitten…Don’t overlook her deserved credit because it seems at least she is always visible around IU sports. She seems to be supportive and interested for success and likes that part of her job waiting for IU to score the go ahead touchdown and a bowl game in 2024…. with everything in total of poor play and coaching IU football still had winnable games that IU didn’t win that IU football should have played in a 2023 bowl game.

49%…anything over 50% is actually a pretty solid win % in football because there are only 12 games in a season and years ago only 10 games….especially for average range and especially especially for IU type football programs. This football thread will crack a 100

I actually thought it would be Candle light….however, starved IU football is so giddy over a warm body for a successful win vs loss coach before his first touchdown at IU memorial football stadium. Tom Allen contract extension as result of successful defense as assistant, Covid year success a couple years and players interrupting his tv interview by saying he was the best coach in the country. Hired and extended based on emotion more than rationale. The Cig interview with fans and McAphee showed student involvement and enthusiasm in JM football program. For IU Cig has potential to be a good hire based on UNpower 5 wins vs losses and energy/enthusiasm. Three or four or five years in power 5 league will ultimately tell the story. IU should be encouraged with Whitten as their president. Much better than those since and including Brand…much much better.

Simple. It’s not rocket science. Let’s Go!

Names: Jack Tripper, Janet Wood, Chrissy Snow, Stanley Roper, Ralph Furley

Inside Indiana Women Basketball Show 6::30 on Monday/T. Moren….. Rhet Weirzba and McKenzie Holmes filled in for T.Moren and both, were Great informative interviews. Rhet: Talks about the improvement of Sara Scalia defense. He also thought IU Ladies on Princeton press…didn’t attack enough but handled it letting Princeton close the scoring gap….He talked about team was tough and improved on defense vs both, Tennessee and Princeton. McKenzie: Was ask by Austin Render if she could remember her first two points scored. Holmes said how nervous she was in her first exhibition game. She credited her teammates including the guards for giving her the ball to score. Holmes credited Rhet and the coaching staff for her development as a player. Holmes talked about her dad at almost all games and his pacing. She looks for him at games. In one of the games at Fort Myers she was looking for him but couldn’t see him but could hear him talking….And she is really looking forward to going to play in Maine and how many people know about and follow IU Ladies basketball. IU Ladies vs Tennessee on Thanksgiving evening most watched game ever on Fox per IU Ladies basketball!

Spend a BILLION DOLLARS TO SEE IF IU FOOTBALL CAN BE SAVED OR NOT.

CHEERS! TO IU LADIES BASKETBALL….. POSITIVE ENERGY, JOY AND FUN

Coach changes/firings/buyouts etc most accurately buyouts because of the amount of money person losing job gets. It does extend AD and President of university/s time another 4 or 5 years. And I like IU president because of her presence regarding IU women basketball, football and other sports at IU. (Glass, Dolson, and Pamela Whitten have all been supportive of T.Moren (deserved) and IU women basketball program) (again deserved).

A new coach….If wanted Transfer portal players could change their minds if convinced to stay at IU.

Jason Candle is the man after listening to his post game interview for 15 minutes 11-1 and victory over Ball State and in recent years solid win over Akron plus played Illinois tough. Did I hear a little bit of hot head? Or just no nonsense. Definitely no nonsense. 23 ranking and very complementary of players success. And stated, “ “ ask the players, we haven’t won anything. We have more football to play and we are trying to get where we want to go.” Very Coach Teri Moren like in breaking down game and talking about players including passing game and Quarterback development and their individual work. Jason Candle is the man and would be excellent for IU. Let’s go! Sidenote: remember the recommendation by Bob Knight to hire Bill Mallory. Sidenote: Brady Hoke did not work at Michigan. However, IU is not Michigan.

Everyone mentioned as a potential coaching candidate…at the very least can make a few million bucks and move on in a few years.

# 5 Columbia City 67 # 1 Hamilton Southeastern 51 ouch!

Next man up. Since the 1950’s Clyde Smith, Bernie Crimmins, Bob Hicks, Phil Dickens, John Pont, Lee Corso, Sam Wyche, Bill Mallory, Can Cameron, Gerry Dinardo, Terry Hoeppner, Bill Lynch, Kevin Wilson, Tom Allen Of all those John Pont brought cardiac kids some Rose Bowl fun before so many teams went to bowl games and Corso brought some Holiday Bowl excitement. Then, Mallory had some sustained success worth its weight in a Copper Bowl penny and defeated some Liberty Bowl Gamecocks. Next Man Up.

And the winner is Coach Tom Allen = $20,000,000 and a new beginning on his time line and totally rid of the IU football mess. Yes, he wanted success at IU but after hurt feelings and pride licking his wounds opportunities will await him and his family. There will always be good employment for him and financial stability during his career. He will eventually realize after awhile and I am sure he already does and to a much greater extent down the road is very LEO thankful for the blessing/s his coaching career including IU has been to him. LEO

Coach Tom Allen has a plan.

Refs don’t matter. Purdue is a team that should be beat by 3 touchdowns

Punt would have probably turned out for the best

Good to see the targeted player win the battle physically

Time for Jaylyn Lucas between the tackles 4 straight times to turn ball over on downs to end game

Offense: Bargesser really jump started Princeton by her poor play offensively (created turnover situations)
