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

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.

No positives?! We just got 20 yards! Go team!

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

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

Goodness, you're just trying to be annoying now aren't you?

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

I'm being positive? Is that a problem too? I just don't know what you guys want! Is there a way to please you?

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

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

If we burned his shirt just for this game, then yes, its probably a waste. If he was somebody that was going to make the field anyway, not so much.

[Miller'sTheMan 1,652]

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.

You don't need to be happy but at some point we get the negativity you're spewing every post. There is a happy medium I have no idea why you keep going to the two polar extremes of each side.

I've heard CKW heats his house with burning redshirts.

Welcome to interacting with other people. Sorry we're not all what you wanted Dad.

You're a piece of work.

Great catch! A little closer in bounds and that would have been close to a first!

[HoosierAloha 30,026]

Poster personalities are fun  :lol: :no: :popcorn:

[JSHoosier 19,898]

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. 

I remember there was a poster on this board that said we could win without Sudfeld or Howard.  That aside, there is a difference between losing and looking awful and we've looked awful.  The defense looks like it we brought Doug Mallory back, no running game but that's because our second string QB can't play the position.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

No more having to face Hackenberg this game!

I mean if you don't like it don't read it. Its just an opinion.

Ohio State looks great!

[mdn82 25,510]

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.

How does the Cubs come into this rant? Can't wait to hear this gem.

We lose a lot. That seems similar.

 

But, we're doin' fine now!

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

The game ended and no one else got injured! We did it!

The offense played terrible, but there is only so much you can do with your back-up QB and star RB out. I think everyone can see Zander isn't ready to play yet.

The offense didn't play terrible! They did great! Don't be a negative Nancy.

Dude, you're annoying and show the mental capacity of an immature kid.  You're supposed to be a member of the mod team and this is how you represent yourself and them?  You're better than that.
