There's no way to ignore these results. When Bill Lynch's last three years are better than yours, you know your time is coming to an end. UPDATE: and I was the first to give him a pass in 2021, that was an abnormally bad "break" year. But three seasons with 2 or fewer BIG wins is not good enough.

I haven't been excited for a game this season since Louisville and I can't imagine looking forward to a single game until he's gone. Some friends and I planned to go to the Wisconsin game but we decided it's not worth the time, money, or energy at this point.

Fired yet?

 

No? Ok. I'll check back in tomorrow.

LOL.  I am "patiently" waiting for word myself.

It's being discussed, just got to come up with the right number and start figuring out what money we will have left to pay a coach.

He should have to pay us for being forced to watch the last couple years.

I know it doesn't work that way but it's been brutal.

I can't watch it anymore. But it was a beautiful day tailgating

They are easy to watch with the proper amounts of beer, whiskey, and herb.  Or at least it makes it tolerable.  Who am I kidding?  I watched Ohio St. Saturday.

Myself and one of my friends from IU had the OSU game on the tv and then just threw our game on the laptop in the corner and left it on mute. Didn't even leave that on after the 3rd quarter lol

I heard the stadium was pretty empty yesterday for a homecoming game. Indiana likely isn’t winning another game this season.
 
If Dolson can’t buy him out or if Tom doesn’t walk, the season ticket buyers will be down to its lowest in history. I mean they were selling season tickets for like $70 bucks at Costco before the season started this year! 
 
Nonetheless, I think this is Tom’s last dance. He’s walking away or Dolson will pull the plug. 

Doubt he wins another game. Penn State will beat us by 50.

If only this year's games were 15 minutes long!

Some have already mentioned this but I will be very surprised if CTA is IUFB's head football coach next year. If he is then it lets everyone (coaches, recruits, fans, conference big wigs, media, etc. etc.) know Dolson gives zero poops about football. Folks are no longer interested this season and money is being lost for the program because of it. At this point, it's about dollars and 'sense'. Have him stick around for another year and lose more money (millions) in revenue or go ahead and make the business decision to take losses up front and hope with the right hire recoup those losses in a year or two. 

It's disappointing to say the least. I was watching the Washington game against ASU and noticed some familiar faces coaching on the sidelines and just shook my head. This wasn't the first time I've experienced it and it won't be the last. I'm an IUFB fan and this is how it works. We fans taste a small amount of success and that success moves on to bigger paychecks and better opportunity.

Doesn't really matter at this point. Certainly not for this game.

In response to a game that was never competitive and saw a Penn State walk-on throw for 100 yards and a score, Indiana coach Tom Allen said "we need to execute and score more".

CTA leads off this list.

Well, at least Dolson doesn’t have to come up with Jimbo Fischer money.

Wow. It's the first time in memory that we have led the nation in anything, and the first time I can remember something about IU football (in this case CTA's seat) described as "scorching."

I am trying to control my excitement over that announcement.

IU has been eliminated from B1G lol
