What do they call that? Gunner or something idk. But I think we have much better talent than Simmons. And the only reason Simmons is playing us because he is older.

Only thing I have liked about Simmons is his size. He was one of the bigger LBs I have seen for IU in the last couple of yrs. however as time has gone on he has gotten slower and slower.

From what I was able to find in a brief search it depends.  A 'husky' is a LB/S hybrid, and a 'bandit' is a LB/DE hybrid.

I'm liking some of the guys we have been getting. Like Scales and Crawford. Those guys just look big and athletic.

Husky is the rolled down safety. Stinger is what they call the weakside backer. Bandit was the rush backer in Knorr's defense, not sure if they still call one of the end's the bandit.

Well hopefully everything from Knorr's time was thrown in the garbage.

I think Tegray Scales will have a big year. Would like to see someone in over Simmons. He's like the Trent Richardson of defense.

Scales and Oliver are the starters at LB. Simmons is a back up LB. Bach and Thompson are 1-2 at Husky.

Good. I thought Scales should have been starting since day 1. He seems to be arguably the most talented out of the bunch. We don't get good LB's often. I can't remember any since Kyle Killion off the top of my head.

IU gets vote in Coaches Poll.

Can you vote for yourself?

[RBB89 3,497]

Yeah, but that's not really Wilson's style.

True perhaps Hazell so that when we eventually beat them he can claim that the loss isn't too bad because at 1 time we were getting votes in the coaches poll.

Kent Sterling was down in Bloomington the other day. on his show yesterday, he talked a lot about IUFB. Here is his article on his takeaways (not turnovers, a joke that makes sense if you look at the article).

Having the 12th best (according to ESPN) O-line in the nation doesn't hurt. We have a stable if RBs a Corp of WRs. We are locked and loaded. The national exposure is there. Time to prove it on the field. And that time is NOW.

If that's not the case, then I'd guess Ron Turner; FIU's coach for motivating his team.

[X-Hoosier 529]

I'll take any vote possible lol. We had 2 votes in the coaches for like 3 weeks straight last year I think.

Pick #1 by Johnathan Crawford.

[X-Hoosier 529]

Pick #2 about 4 minutes of game time later.

I don't know about boating season.  I sold mine a couple of years ago. 

It is that time of the year, though, when I tell myself.  "Don't get excited. You do this to yourself every year.  Get all pumped up, and then spend two months depressed." 

That being said.  Spending last X-mas in NYC watching IU play football was a blast, and I REALLLLLLY want to go some place warm this year!
