Hope is definitely not the strategy we are looking for here.

Hope in one hand, Indiana Football in the other…or something like that.

I think it's wish in one hand, shish in the other.  See which fills up faster!  IU FB is the SHISH!

Debatable whether TJ is even the better of the two QBs.

Agree.  Point I  was trying to make (and poorly worded it was) is pick one and stick with him for the rest of season.  Rotating them in and out isn't going to help any  one of them.

That's pretty much what he said, except he confused "hope" with "wish."

Constantly publicly dumping on his players is the worst of all the bad answers. 

Has Tom Allen ever blamed himself as to why the team sucks?

[Dave from Dayton]

Let's play the Blame Game!

   Pick at least one:

        1.  Scores less than the opponent;

        2.  It's the fans' fault;

        3.  It's Tom Allen's fault;

        4.  One player is playing as badly as the rest of the team;

        5.  Obviously the referees make bad calls;

        6.  Demographics; recruiting; too far to the coast;

        7.  Money; and the administration; Corso; DiNardo; Wilson; & etc.; Sammy Terry; 

        8.  Turnovers, play calling; the OL; the DL; backs; strategy; too much emphasis on defense; the weather; deflated balls; cheating; the turf; the uniforms; lack of talent; too few 4 and 5*s; lack of discipline; lack of speed; LEO +/-; the cheerleaders; the band; the stadium; soccer; basketball; golf; swimming and diving; cross country and track; drugs; culture; video games;

        9.  It's the NCAA; the B1G; POTFB; 

        10. The Little 500 and tailgating; Brown County; Indianoplace; something else that I forgot;

         11. Michael Penix Jr.;

          12.  Football is just too complicated. 

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

          13. It's Indiana!
