...and he's gone

[Dave from Dayton]

I've got it.  Some Indiana fans must turn themselves in for stealing signals.

You have to fire Allen after this disaster. Up 27-12

Next year we will shock the world!!!!!

[Brass Cannon]

Is there really a downside to a mid season firing?

[monskisprodigy]

I’ll say it again…let him go tonight.

Have Carey finish the season, and go get a DANG COACH! 

He has to go.

I don’t think anyone would believe we had any of that information. 

[DChoosier]

When was the last time our coverage was this bad for an entire game?

[Rico]

Hate losing that way but dammit that was an exciting loss!

[Lebowski]

Bummer, man. Exciting game.  

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Can’t do much but laugh tbh.  That QB lit us up all good and we never adjusted anything. 

[LamarCheeks]

We'd been playing half-way decent defense, but the offense was MIA. 

So -- naturally, the day the offense breaks out, the defense poops its pants.

There is a better chance of me waking up next to three Sports Illustrated swimsuit models  tomorrow morning than there is of Tom getting fired tonight.

Heartbreak coming at the end of an exciting game is so much better than being boring.

Did they already fire Allen

It’s amazing.  It’s hard to adjust for an opponent hiding a heisman candidate on the bench for most of the year.

After so many decades of following IU football I should know better but…..I still can’t believe how bad our defense was against friggin Illinois. Non-existent coverage, poor tackling, little to no pressure on their QB, etc. Frustrating.

This.  It was one of the worst defensive efforts I’ve seen in years. 

Now, I remember some old Indiana teams that just plain couldn’t stop the run.  And teams would just steamroll us on the ground but today this was different, mostly because it was from a similar talented team.

Been like that for 50 years of me watching IU football

 We can never have a good offense and defense at the same time. If we had a descent defense when ARE was here we would have been a very good team

The play calling in OT was just plain dreadful and we went conservative instead of trying to win the game. Just like in the PSU game where we went conservative after we got the turnover. We played to tie the game instead of trying to win
