The IU faithful win out. @Hovadipo, @mamasa and I were one point from a perfect game. The first two along with @IU Scottgot Illinois' score right while @WayneFleekHoosier and I got IU's score right.

That’s an L I’ll take everyday!  Way to go Gent’s!

[DChoosier]

Very happy that my prediction put me in last place.
Or, as Dean Wormer said……I achieved a score of “0.0”.

[LIHoosier]

@IU - Kaulie like a few of us last week was one point away from a perfect game, getting IU's score right amongst all the 2 point fails. The overall scoreboard reflects the better result of the 2 games so far.

So close to another perfect game. The turnover on downs at the IU 3 gave Cincy no choice but to score and ruin perfection. A three-way tie for the win this week for @IUFootballEndlessMisery, @MemphisHoosier, and @thebigweave.

A laundry list of folks got IU's score right; @Dave from Dayton @Hovadipo @IUc2016 @IUFootballEndlessMisery @MemphisHoosier @Napleshoosier and @WayneFleekHoosier.

Only @thebigweave got Cincinnati's score right. @WayneFleekHoosier takes the overall lead going into the meat of B1G play.

In previous years I almost never predicted an IU loss in football.

Last week it gave me no pleasure predicting an IU loss to Cincy.

I remember being excited when in High School.  Football was really fascinating.  Looked forward to competitions on Friday nights.

Then I attended IU.  Met Jade Butcher and others in classes.  This was just after the Rose Bowl.

I had season tickets as a student.  I may not remember correctly but I attended about one winning game a year...after joining the Navy in '71.

So many losses through the years.  Drove up to Bowling Green OH a few years back.  Knowing that IU would win.  We didn't.   Matador defense, no pursuit, mailed it in.

I have a theory about IU football.  Why IU loses so very many games.  It is kind of simple but it is based on a few contributing factors:

  "The key is not the 'will to win'... everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important" -Bob Knight;

  Demographics - IU should be able to recruit favorably especially in Indiana however the 3 major universities in Indiana puts each of those teams at a numerical disadvantage (inside the state of Indiana) to the likes of an OSU and the larger population in Ohio and the lack of another major;  and

 The inability or unwillingness to attract and keep a head coach and assistants that are of top quality in recruiting, in game generalship, and have the other attributes necessary for success.

Plus, being in the B1G east is really daunting and puts a crimp on post-season achievements.

Just remember what Lee Corso said: "When you are lousy, you have to learn to be funny."
