Kinda crazy that Archie couldn’t succeed because he didn’t know how to win

Fixed it.  
 

let’s not pretend ourselves that Miller wouldn’t still be around if he was winning.

IU hosts Winthrop on Dec. 29th.

Right now on ESPN+ Winthrop 27 vs Bob Jones 13.

 

Winthrop should be winning against some dude named Bob Jones.  I’m surprised Bob has scored 13.

Starting to wonder if Bloomington and surrounding areas will be cleaned up in time for USC to get to town for Wednesday. Historic-sounding winter storm starting tomorrow.

I'd be more concerned about the guys getting back from Philly tomorrow afternoon/night in the teeth of that.

That’s a good point. I don’t really know how/if they will.

I wish nothing but safety. That being said, Philly can keep most of em.

Not to overstate, but I would imagine today had a notable effect.

Should be updated once all the games are completed, one of my favorite bracketology sites.

Evan Miya uses a stat called 'the kill shot' -- it's where a team goes on a 10-0 run.  Statistically, if a team has more 'kill shots' during a game, they will 8/9ths of the time.  IU registered their 7th kill shot of the year against Penn State as they went on a 12-0 run to start the second half.  IU has won all of their games where they have administered a 'kill shot' and in all three of their losses have had their opponent administer a kill shot.  The only game that went against the trend was the Rutgers game, where Rutgers had a 10-0 kill shot in the first half and IU did not have one.

Given the depth of talent now and the roster volatility every year I imagine we’ll be able to post this every year for the foreseeable future. I don’t see how a team goes undefeated now. Hell, that team only had maybe 6 or 8 games they had any chance of losing and they had 4 or 5 they easily could have. Now,  I don’t care how good the team is they’ve got 15 they can realistically lose. Personally, I like IU’s undefeated standard holding up longer than the Dolphins.

49 years is damn impressive, and yeah it’s now even harder to go undefeated. A team that continues to stand the test of time

Wow. I’ve always liked Garl but if the allegations in this story are true it’s hard to look at him the same. Probably time to hang it up anyway…

Wow, i just read the article too. This is serious stuff. Reminds me a lot of the MSU case, or at least has some similarities.....
