Game Thread: vs. Maryland @ 3:30 on ESPN2

[RaceToTheTop 25,275]

Team rolling over.  Someone better poke them with a stick.

I hope Coby never touches the ball again. That was so unbelievably f’ing dumb on his part.

Gonna be a rough few years until Allen’s buyout goes down enough for us to follow him. 

Hopefully at that time IU fires him. If we follow him...

That's the ballgame!

Don't forget to hang up your speaker and drive carefully!

I'm not sure there was a single person that felt the hiring of Tom Allen was good at the time he was hired.  It was the cheap, lazy way out.

There is what I'm talking about.  Huge run by Maryland.  Player finishes the run, stands out and points in the face of an IU player.  No call.
I'm fine with it not being a penalty.  But it's not consistent.  The call on IU was horrible and helped influence the outcome.

I agree, there’s no consistency but I still would rather not give the ref a chance to interpret intent on a play.

There might be a reason Coby only caught one ball for TN last year, and that was in a blowout vs Tennessee Tech. Maybe Omar isn’t showing much in practice but I thought we would see him play some.

32 carries for 36 yards tonight Lmfao.

Textbook IU football.

Want to watch a high character intelligent winner?  Watch IU Ladies basketball program.  The overwhelmingly majority of times you will leave the game happy and always proud of what the Ladies basketball program represents.

And was exacerbated by the huge contract extension -- after one decent season.

The refs job isn't to interpret intent.  No one 'means' to go offsides or interfere with a pass.

Wilson was a big meanie so they went with the lovely dovey LEO guy instead of finding a competent coach.

I was convinced Tom won the race to Cool Dad's office to get the job. Then I thought around 2019 that we got lucky with not a great coach, but a good enough coach that making bowl games would be a regularity. Then Wilson's foundation broke down, we lost the better coaches in our employ to HC jobs, and now we're back where we were circa 2010.

Why are you like this, IU?

I just can't understand how every fan sees it in real times and we still have a game called that bangs our head against the wall.

A ref will totally interpret taunting or targeting.

I’m still incensed over that. You had the first down plus a couple more yards, just go out of bounds.

Great, you made one man miss, there are two more guys right there to tackle you immediately. If he hadn’t just thrown it in the air he would have fumbled when one of those guys popped him.

Huge risk for literally almost zero prospect of return.

That unsportsmanlike penalty was a horrible, horrible call.

But then, we got sliced and diced on a 3rd and 9 and had plenty of other chances. Disappointing.

Yep......he was hired for PR reasons and not football reasons.  Can't think of a single case where that worked in football.

folds his arms:  taunting.  BS.

And no, he didn't stand 'over him'.

Pretty obvious to me.

in any case should have shown a little discipline!
