There are so many Purdue fans that want to make fun of us, but are too embarrassed of their own team to do so

And all we gotta do is point to Fairleigh Dickinson in basketball.

Tom Allen “we have won 5 straight overtime games since I have been here.  It is our tough culture we have.”

Completely disagree.

Just because Dobson is hamstrung by the contract doesn’t mean he’s blind or has shitty standards.

He isn't hamstrung by anything. Could easily tell Allen and Bell to take a hike tomorrow. He won't. I don't see him telling Allen to take a hike at the end of the season.

Please explain this one 

A competent AD would have already forced a change at the OC spot, at the very least. Dolson knows no matter how much the football team sucks, Indiana athletic department will continue being a top 20 profitable department. He sees dollar signs coming in and a coach that doesn't cause any problems by not being mean to players. At the very least, if Dolson cared, Bell would be gone by Monday morning.

He doesn’t have the money to do that thanks to his big brain contract extension he gave out to Tommy.

Just pull a Colorado. Do it, find the money later. He ain't getting 20 million in a briefcase as he walks out the door.

For the record, this isn’t based in reality in any way.

At some point, gotta be a bit hands on. Set standards and follow through. Iowa AD is just waiting around right now to fire their OC because Iowa sure as hell ain't averaging 26ppg.

I think it’s time for me to go to bed…I’ve hit my negativity quota way too early this season. 
That video might put me over the top.

I suppose at some point it becomes hypocritical puke all the way to the bank.

L O L.

I was entertained and that’s all I ask of IUFB, so there’s that.

Going to really hurt when Penix wins the Heisman.

Obviously wouldn't have done it here.

[Alford Bailey 13,189]

Well I’ve said for a while we are a MAC quality program…..

[Aguas 19]

Most embarrassing win I have ever seen. If he were honest and cared about the program, he would step down. If Dolson had any sense about him, he would pay the $20mm and fire him. Winning in the fourth overtime against Akron is not a win. And no the D did not look good, they looked good against a HS team. It looks s horrible all around. And Akron should have won in regulation. He should be fired and would be anywhere else. Furthermore when Lebowski posts, just because you are the best shitty coach does not mean you are a good coach. IU sucks at football and should not. It is the AD, it is Tom Allen, it is the fans that don’t demand better. Disgusted by this game and disturbed that I keep watching. Screw Tom Allen if he does not step down. He claims he loves his players, the school and the program and is single handedly destroying it.  Wait until we play the BIG 10.

He’s thrown 16 touchdowns through 4 games this season. 

IU threw 16 touchdown passes total last season. This year through four games? 2.

Total yds: Akron 473, IU 282

Have to feel for Akron to dominate a game like that and come up short.
