February and March are usually quiet months for Indiana Football. News from the football program usually creates no more than a small ripple across the Hoosier state. Not so much this year. Yesterday, we found out that freshman running back Sampson James entered his name in the transfer portal, but that might not have been the […]
The quarterback room at Indiana University potentially got a little less crowded today. Incumbent IU starting quarterback Peyton Ramsey has entered his name in the NCAA’s transfer portal for the purpose of finding a new home for the 2020 season. If Ramsey chooses to leave Indiana for a program he perceives to a better fit, he will […]
Indiana University football coach Tom Allen tweeted the image to the left on Sunday, and I don’t agree with a word of it. Many responded to the comment I attached to a retweet of Allen’s message with indictments of our soft society and calls for people to read the right books, listen to the right music, […]
Indiana ran out the clock on a brilliant 13-play drive that ate the final eight minutes of the game against Michigan. Of the 13 plays, IU ran the ball 12 times. If Indiana had been ahead by 25 instead of behind by that many at the time, fans would be thrilled. To sit in the […]
Indiana lost 34-27 today in Happy Valley and Hoosier fans are celebrating. All over social media, IU fans are talking about how far this team has come and how this loss shows the progress the program is making. That’s the same thing they’ve done for the last half century of mediocre to poor Indiana Football. […]
I’m sorry. I was wrong. My evaluation of Tom Allen as Indiana’s football coach has been proven wrong by the 6-2 record the Hoosiers have put together this season. There is still work to be done, but 6-2 gives the Hoosiers bowl eligibility before Halloween for the first time since 1993. If Indiana can beat […]
Indiana beat Maryland 34-28 yesterday, putting its season win total at five. For those IU grads who had trouble getting through M-014 (a non-credit basic math course), that leaves the Hoosiers one win shy of bowl eligibility. With games remaining against Nebraska, Northwestern and Purdue – games Indiana has at least a 52.3% chance of […]
There is this feeling in my gut that criticizing Indiana University’s football program is unfair. Indiana fans have nothing but hope to keep them coming back to Memorial Stadium – well, hope and beer. It hurts to write a post that doesn’t help IU fans hope. Hope in IU Football has almost always poorly invested as the […]
