I really hope we announce some investment soon, the more schools you see doing it and the more the future of college athletics becomes clear, the more nervous I get our admin is going to **** it up

Wow... the inference is that the admin HAS NOT ****ed it up yet. *mind blown*

Just feels like we are in one of this situations where there is such an easy solution and yet we are on pins and needles to see if they figure it out. We don't even have to be good, we just need to show we care a little bit about football in order to not get left behind and yet it is a real question whether or not we will do that lol.

We got left behind back in the 90's when other athletic departments figured out heavily investing in football would benefit their other athletic programs. We felt we were a "basketball school" and therefore it wasn't necessary. Indiana people also tend to have this weird inherent belief that we can be just as good as anyone else even without all the bells and whistles, which played a part in why our basketball renovations took so long to finally come to fruition. Sometimes, Indiana is its own worst enemy.

What do you mean by this?

In the 90's we were a very mediocre program, but embarrasingly better than we are now.  IU decided it was time to become better so we fired coach Bill Mallory and tried to take the next step higher.  We all cheered the decision at the time.

Turns out we just hired poorly through present day.  I feel like we're trying, we just haven't gotten it right yet.

If Allen still has a job this time Sunday evening it will be an enormous bat signal from Dolson that he couldn’t care less about football. Will be an interesting two days.

Jesus, just blow it all up. The whole thing. C’mon. The University Events guy doesn’t even pay attention.

Hell yeah! 

Mike Penix is back! We're gonna win tomorrow! The Bucket will return to B-town! #LEO

(What's astoundingly bad about this -- with all his season-ending injuries at IU, I don't think Penix actually ever took a snap against the PUs).

I see you and I raise you a promotional photo.

He blocked me(in case no one knew, IU Twitter is insanely FRAGILE) so I couldn't see but I believe IU deleted the tweet. IU football marketing is a massive joke. I mean they really don't even do great with basketball so it isn't a surprise.

I am convinced that dude is on Tom Allen's payroll or has some form of Stockholm Syndrome, super weird....agree with you LCS.

ITS TIME!

For a guy brought in as a defensive coach, he regularly kept alive the tradition of Indiana never actually having a defense.

Has to be fired by tomorrow. This showing was all time bad

Anything yet?
