Kilroy Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Yes. We had only won 1 conference game going into that game. What a pathetic time for the Big Ten. Though, I think we're mixing up the Wisco games. They beat us 83-20 back in 2010, that wasn't our near championship season, that was 2012 (Bucks undefeated season). They only beat us 51-3 that game. It was a 62-14 thrashing in 2012. So many of those, its hard to remember. MartintheMopMan and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 Quote

I remember Wisco's scores decreased at a perfectly linear rate, so I should have guessed I was missing one. Same margin of victory though! Kilroy and VO5 2 Quote

Surprised we actually beat Wisconsin 5 times in a row within my lifetime. Pre/Early-Alvarez they were pretty terrible. I assume that's when we beat them 5 times in a row. Everyone beat them back then. Unless you're really really old. Edit: Oh man. The winsipedia page for Indiana is super sad. Edited September 28, 2015 by MartintheMopMan Quote
HoosierReb01 Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Everyone understands that we are about to lose 5 of the next 6 right? No. I'm not a loser and I'm not going to count the losses before the games even played. I understand the tough parts just starting, but we need to toughen up to meet it. You might be right in the end, hell, it might be 6 losses in the next 6, but until each game is over, its still winnable. Let's let losers do the negative thinking.

jmhbone Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 In 1979, the Hoosiers were 7-4 under Lee Corso and won 4 of their first 5 games. They lost to a very good Colorado team by one point or would have been 5-0. They ended the season with an exciting win at the Holiday Bowl over BYU 38-37. HoosierReb01, RBB89 and HoosierAloha 3 Quote
akhosrof Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 I don't think the significance of our 4-0 start can be overstated in regards to recruiting either. I read on Twitter there will be a lot of recruits at this game. The game will be sold out, if we can simply play OSU close, many prospects are going to take notice and want to look into, and possibly be a part of, what CKW is building. jmhbone, HoosierReb01 and Parakeet Jones 3 Quote

Hell, let doom and gloomers hit the road and let fans have fun and root the team on. Upsets happen every Saturday. Its why the games are played.

OliviaPope40 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) This is the first time in 25 years that we have been 4-0. Edited September 30, 2015 by OliviaPope40 southsidehoosier and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 When was the last time IU fans could let their imaginations and expectations run wild about a good season? I agree the next 6 games are going to be rough but live a little! I want to see how the team competes against O$U before writing them off in all of the next 6 games. If somehow IU could hang tough against O$U and then get a win @PSU that would be the next step for this team. From ESPN Despite losing against O$U, our projected results actually improved from last week per ESPN. Quote
HoosierReb01 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Our odds actually dropped against Purdue. Quote
The Ola Depot Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Our odds actually dropped against Purdue.Probably because of how they played against MSU Quote
HoosierReb01 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Probably because of how they played against MSU Oh. I'm sure. Also why MSU is number 3 now. Surprised they didn't drop another spot or two. Quote
The Ola Depot Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Oh. I'm sure. Also why MSU is number 3 now. Surprised they didn't drop another spot or two.They're 4 in AP. The top 5 had a pretty bad week last week so there wasn't much movement for just barely winning a game. Quote

Kilroy Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Don't you feel stupid now? I mean, it looks like it will be 6 of 6. You way overestimated us. So no faith against Iowa or Michigan? One complete game is all it will take. Quote
Brass Cannon Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 So no faith against Iowa or Michigan? One complete game is all it will take. Complete Game? From IU football is that a thing? Quote
mhoban Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 It's not impossible for us to run the table from here if we get our act together over the bye week. The receiver coverage scheme is not working so let's hope these smart and highly paid coaches have a Plan B. ThompsonHoosier 1 Quote
