"Didnt have zip on the ball"... literally someone sitting at home watching the game on TV would be the only ppl making a comment like that.

I was there the entire game. I am not all that sure it would have been a bad decision in a dry game.. rain game maybe, Timian didnt help him at all by not coming back, so yeah I'm making an argument against it. You said the WRs "bailed him out" .... no, they played well in the conditions, Ramsey didnt need bailed out because he didnt do anything wrong. Ramsey simply couldn't launch the ball downfield because of the conditions. It was brutal. Ramsey has been so solid through 2 games.

Could be the best possible conditions and you still don't throw off balance and against your body. Argue it all you want. I never said the kid played bad.

I'd like to see them open the playbook up a little more with him so we have a better idea; right now it's some saying the playbook is closed because he's so limited and others saying he looks more limited because they don't open the playbook much.  I still fall more in the latter camp because we've seen him make good throws downfield both last year and early on this year.  Passing is definitely something he still needs to work on and as a RS soph he's not a finished product.

And that INT was horrible.

I'm in the latter camp as well, because like you said we've seen him make good throws downfield before. We've consistently seen conservative playcalling from the staff so I don't think it's because they doubt Ramsey's abilities. That just seems to be their approach. I didn't see the INT last night, but I've seen enough from him to know that poor decision making is rare for Ramsey. 

He's not Nate Sudfeld, but he's not Zander Diamont either. He's played 10 games so far in his career. He's thrown for 1,558 yards, completed 66.9% of his passes and thrown 15 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. The NFL isn't going to come calling with those numbers, but we don't need that level of quarterback. If Stevie Scott is legit then we just need a quarterback that can keep the defense honest and limit turnovers. He's shown himself capable of doing that. If we miss a bowl game this year I don't think Ramsey will be the reason why.

It could very well be the case that Penix is better than Ramsey right now. If he is, play him. But we have a very small sample size for Penix. We've seen a handful of series against a conference USA team that likely didn't game plan for him.

True freshman Micah McFadden too, he was a tackling machine in high school. I think he will be a great linebacker by the time he's done at IU.

LBs were better last night than game 1. Thomas Allen is good.

To be perfectly honest I think Allen kind of looks like him too.

Our Football program can handle that personality. We haven’t “been there done that”.

That basketball program doesn’t need rah rah to sell it. Just want a consistent winner.

OT why do I feel like we have seen this in a different sport in some ways.

[OliviaPope40]

There is a young man who walks the sidewalk of Las Vegas Blvd. in Vegas who will let you do this for $25.00.  I asked a Flamingo Casino security guard about it and was told more women than men in total numbers attempt but cowboys with pointed cowboy boots or football/rugby built men have rendered him unconscious on more than one occasion.  What a way to make a living!

Today all I’ve seen is people ***** and moan about coach Allen running over to the students and high fiving them.....on all platforms of media. If that really bothers you....do you really care about IU football getting better and did you watch last nights game. Despite the awful weather that team fought and finished, yet that’s what you’re judging his coaching on.....high fives.....lol then screw you “football fans”. Tom Allen once again wants to be here. He wants to see this team win and most teams in the past would’ve gone fetal position and found a way to lose that game. Allen cares for his players and he cares about the fans, he doesn’t just care about “football” because that’s what “football guys” do. At IU you actually need a coach that cares for all facets behind the team. Maybe if fans actually showed up in good weather games.....as well....people wouldn’t be calling him a cheerleader.....those fans and students deserved some type of thanks and y’all wanna moan about how he did it....I thought it was awesome and he actually shows he cares. If this was CKW he would’ve gone out afterwards and gotten drunk and cussed fans out. Lol get a clue. Support a man who wants to be here. Knows how to coach defense and most of all cares for fans and his players.

And with Ramsey.

And 100% with Coach Allen.

I agree with Lucel. I actually really liked it. And I know the players loved it. It was cool imo.

I can think of less painful ways to make money.

I agree I loved it. I like when Crean did the stuff too. It’s great to see people enjoying their jobs and enjoying coaching at Indiana. Especially when it’s coupled with a W!

If you play against Greyson Allen, he'll do it for free!

If Tom Crean could’ve coached defense well and gotten in-State high school coaches to favor him, then the wacky celebrations would’ve been just fine; maybe even beloved.
