• "Believe? Not really strategy either."  - Stuhoo

Wanna know what a good strategy is? Some talented recruits pristinely executing creative play-calling. THAT'S a strategy.

Believe in Rod (and Justin!)!

If they can use that chain during the game they might have a chance simply by injuring all of the Michigan players. Other than that...not really.

Heisman winner Penix if things continue on current pathway….talking about a guy taking advantage of opportunities, overcoming IU obstacles presented before him and excelling with  competent coaching and program.

In the meantime led by T.A., staff, and program trying to throw rocks at a wall and hope something sticks…..after what has now turned into several years of finding and losing QBs they are still trying to figure out how to even practice (compliment to players meeting giving guidance to T.A. and staff on something that should have been set before T.A. was even hired (wasn’t that a job interview question) and still looking for a QB.

Players wanted more "good on good" and less scout team during the week.

I know we played Michigan, but it certainly didn't translate.

It's IUFB; "good vs good" really just means "MAC level vs MAC level".

Well, we started out good.  Maybe this week we change to longer practices to help keep the intensity level up for more than one quarter.

If the change was made sooner maybe we could've beat Akron in 1 OT, or even regulation.

Throw a Brinks truck at a big name, and give him the keys to the whole thing! Take your loss with Allen, and don't let big name say no.

Bloomington deserves/craves a solid football program. It's so damn beautiful in the fall, the rest of the country needs to see it! There's nothing lacking (alumni, fanbase, $,donors, etc.), besides a complete commitment from decision makers. Our other programs are making Bloomington a destination for these highly ranked kids, why can't a top coach do the same?

I don’t understand why we are the most profitable without anywhere near maximizing profits from the most profitable sport.

It's easier to be profitable when you're extremely cheap. So how many of the schools behind us double our revenue? They just spend more.
