We're already lost. No way we can compete against Duke. Oh, wait. This is football. As long as IU is willing to spend money, we shouldn't lose a HC candidate to Duke.

JSHoosier Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 I could see him wanting to coach the bowl game and IU wanting him to get started here. Like I said I'll reserve excitement, I fully expect IUFB to disappoint. Quote

IUrocker Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 Cig is also probably well aware that if he comes here and it works out like he’s gonna plan on doing, it’ll make him look like a God here with how bad our history in the sport has been. He’ll be way more of a savior figure being a success at IU than the likes of Duke, right? He’s got something to prove and proving it at IU will be more special than Duke I would think.

TTT Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 49%…anything over 50% is actually a pretty solid win % in football because there are only 12 games in a season and years ago only 10 games….especially for average range and especially especially for IU type football programs.

If someone can get over to the Stadium tell Dolson now is not the time to play hardball. We have the guy. The fanbase has never been this excited for an IUFB candidate. Just pay the man and let's go.

Popular Post Chris007 Posted November 30, 2023 Popular Post Posted November 30, 2023 Also after we Cigs if you want season tickets now is the time to get them. We have 8 home games next year mostly in Sept. & Oct. plus if you get them before Dec 31, you will get two extra tickets to the first two games. Remember Bloomington in Sept. & Oct is beautiful. If you are at the game, your not home doing chores that your wife thought up. thebigweave, Trish, Home Jersey and 6 others 9 Quote

LamarCheeks Posted November 30, 2023 Posted November 30, 2023 We're down 3 and and have first and goal at the 1 with a minute left. Do we ... Get a TD and the win? Take three knees and play for the tie? Run four plays up the middle, get stuffed and lose? I have confidence we can still screw this up. Quote
