To be fair to Archie……
Yes, we lost to ISU by 21 but then massively improved to the point that we only lost to Fort Wayne by 20.

I was at the Crean vs IPFW game in Fort Wayne with Bleach Boy. It was such a bad loss, I wasn’t even mad.

But ……..Bryson Scott was arguably the better player than Blackmon if you take both ends of the court in the comparison. The Scott brothers annihilated Blackmon in their HS game. But man, Blackmon could shoot that rock. Then you had John Konchar. He was a rock star.

Yes, that was inexplicable (and Creans last season) as we beat Kansas ten days earlier and then beat UNC (#3) the week after Fort Wayne. In between the Kansas and UNC wins we somehow lost in OT @ Fort Wayne even though we had three NBA players in the front court (Bryant, Morgan, OG) and Robert Johnson and Blackmon in the backcourt. 

And then the next year, Archies first, we lost to Fort Wayne by 20 at home. A two year losing streak to Fort Wayne!!!!!

Not the bleach boy game.

...and posters still said Archie did a great job in those games.  It made me question the impartiality and integrity of a lot of posters

No way. You need to ride the wave of this I-told-you-so forever. Just bask in the glory of IU’s underperformance. I hope you never get to stop reveling in our failure. Take pride knowing that only you and those of similar intellect could comprehend the gravity of a loss to IPFW. 
 

This might blow your mind, but being a fan of a team has nothing to do with impartiality. And don’t go bringing “integrity” into it as if that has real meaning here. None of this matters, it’s entertainment. Allow fellow Hoosier fans to cheer for the team if they want to, it makes them happy.

Wild to think back at that and see John Konchar getting another deal with the Grizzlies. And the Grizzlies seem to live him. Only other guys still in the NBA from that game are Bryant and OG.

At Rugers and home Nebraska in the tough December stretch is the best we could ask for and seemingly the only conference home game without students is NW. And 4 Saturday conference home games! That might equal our last 3 years.

Haven’t done a deep dive but pretty happy with @ Illinois in January. Gives them less time to gel as a team. Will look over the schedule more but that stood out.  
 

I’d say the goal should be 11-2 or better going up to the heart of our big ten schedule.

Not that I'm terribly upset by this, but I noticed we have 2 exhibition games. I'd bet anything Xavier Johnson is getting a 3 game suspension to start the season and the 2 exhibitions (that count for half a game each) are to make sure he's eligible when we face his namesake on the road.
