Maryland trolling OSU early on. Scored to start the game and then recovered an onside kick before fumbling it back to the Buckeyes. The Terps actually got up 17-3 before missing a field goal and then giving up a long touchdown pass. They're doing it right in terms of taking risks and playing with nothing to lose, but you can't screw up the little things.

We've got a coordinator masquerading as a head coach because our genius AD couldn't be bothered to do his friggin' job.  Wanting IU to do better than that doesn't make him a cry baby; frankly, wanting IU to do better than that is an extremely low bar.

Les miles was a dying breed and there’s a reason he was let go from LSU. And I believe most HCs masquerade for a little while since I mean you do have to move up the chain from coordinator just saying that’s how coaching works. He’s a proven DC. He’s turned around defenses. He could’ve gone a few years as a DC probably but when are we as IU fans going to realize you can’t just keep hiring coaches that will use this as a stepping stone. That’s what Wilson was working towards. Then where would we have been oh probably hiring a proven sunbelt coach. Hire a guy that knows how to coach...head coaching is a learning curve....just like any industry you have to adjust and looks like he will be handing over his DC duties and just focusing on HC duties. Hey thanks for playing tho

Well, you’re full of ****. No one else wanted Dinardo, Lynch, Wilson or Allen as a head coach either. Kansas is also making a major investment in facilities so they are taking football seriously.

Are they making a major investment in facilities to catch-up or get ahead. I believe IU invested heavily in facilities but that was only to get to the very bottom of Big Ten standards. I love two way streets.

Wanting your school to do better than Tom Allen and Mike DeBord, or at the least do a coaching search, makes someone a crybaby?

Yeah considering it’s all he whines about lol. I’m sorry I was not blown away by les miles and name a coach that was up and coming that our fans would have jumped for joy about.......if we hired a non power 5 coach we would’ve said oh boy yay. And then whined it’s not a home run hire. We are going to go in and lure someone away from their low tier power 5 job. Or as IU fans you jump for joy and praise the man when he’s a DC who turned around Kevin Wilson’s awful awful defense and then when he’s hired and he’s adjusting to a HC job the same people come back around and say he’s a HS HC. Get out of here. Oh by the way if you argue Wilson recruited tons of players and was good.....thank him for the holes on both lines and the lack of recruiting. Tom Allen is actually addressing the needs of the team and trying to build an actual roster.

I didn't say a word about Les Miles.  All I said is we have a sub par coach because our should've-been-fired AD was too lazy to even pretend to make it look like he was doing his job.

Even if OSU could cone back and win today, they have effectively removed themselves from the voters mind in the college playoffs.

 

 

They'll still be on the doorstep after they beat Michigan next week.

Wow Maryland takes the lead on a fumble recovered in the end zone. 45-38 with 1:41 left. It’d be awesome if both Ohio State and Michigan lost today. They’d still play for the B1G championship. But there’d be nothing to it haha

There is no way the Big Ten is going to allow Ohio State to lose another game.

Any officiating crew that 'allows' an O$U loss gets demoted the next week. The team that was on the field when Purdon't beat them had to do IU/Minnesota. If this result stands, this crew will definitely be calling the Rutger game next week.
