IU vs Penn State Game Thread - 12:00 EST ESPN

No. And sorry, what's the positive side of the game? I would love to hear it!

Hit me with some of our positive history in the last 20 years too.

We didn't risk our two best players getting hurt even worse to win just one game. That's a positive in my book.

Why are we burning all the redshirts

Oh and no one died. And we weren't attacked by Bane.

 

Us acting the way almost any team in the country would have acted in a particular situation isn't exactly impressive.

Well how does being negative about every bad play do? We have our 3rd string QB in, our 4th string RB in. What else can we do? They're doing their best out there.

Mike majette or whatever. He was an athlete/QB/do it all in hs. We flipped him from Maryland I believe

Great job guys! I think we can hold them below 40!

Here is my take.

Oh, ok. Not sure, thought he had already burned it, but not sure.

[JSHoosier 19,844]

Let's go Danny Cameron. Come on guys lets send some positive vibes to happy valley. This team needs it.

This team needs a lot more than just positive vibes.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Here is my take.

Penn State would love that. They really want to hire CKW.

[indianato 157]

My buddies autocorrect changed xander to Todd. Funny stuff.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Good trying friends! They probably could have gotten the first anyway, but I like your fight!

[lucel15 3,052]

He could have but I can't remember. I just don't like burning good athletes. Especially when you have other rbs lol

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

Here is my take.

I think the stafff looked pretty hard at Juco and HS Qbs for this very reason. They didn't find anyone they believed that would help them win.

[Old Friend 8,389]

Why do we keep running the ball sideways?  Why do our coaches keep getting penalties called on them (is that two or three this season)?   Why do we seem to find ways to give the other team points?  (Penalty on Latham in the first half)   Why is Diamont so inept 90% of the time?   Why are both Sudfeld and Howard dressed if they're not going to play?   Why don't they (seemingly - it seems every time he gets beat he has no help) ever help Fant with a safety?  Why was our first half 1st down play calling so completely inept?

 

We are the Chicago Cubs of the Big Ten.   

 

We're developing depth, but don't have depth yet.  Cameron looks like a much better college QB than Diamont.   There's some hope, but damn....Indiana looks awful, and all it took was taking away two players.  PSU was without their top 2 RB's today, and Ohio State won a national title with a #3 QB who looked terrific.  Difference between a program and a team trying to build one.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

It's Okay guys! That's 4 fewer points than they could have gotten! Still just a 3 score game!

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

Great job guys! I think we can hold them below 40!

Jesus, did you expect us to win if Sudfeld and Howard were both out? I know you didn't so I don't know why you're being so negative about the outcome right now. This team still has a great shot at going 7-5 or 8-4. Negativity isn't needed. 

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

Jesus, did you expect us to win if Sudfeld and Howard were both out. 

I don't understand, so like, if you expect to lose you have to be really really happy about all the bad things because you expected them anyway?

 

And I expected us to at least not be embarrassing. Play to our QB and RBs strengths.

 

It looks like no one told CKW that Suds or Howard would be out either.

[JSHoosier 19,844]

Shut.The.F.Up already! Damn dude! Negative Nancy over here!

This team has looked awful today.  There's no sugar coating it, we've sucked, bad.  We're fans, not cheerleaders, we're allowed to discuss both the positives and the negatives; in this situation there aren't many, if any positives, and a bunch of negatives.
