Indiana Football is the losingest football program in history among Power Five universities. That’s where all discussions about IU football must start. Fans who head to Bloomington on game days have become accustomed to winning tailgate parties, even if it means never setting foot in Memorial Stadium. That has been the state of Indiana Football for a […]
Indiana University Football has been an oxymoron since the beginning. Minus a few glorious years under Bo McMillan and Bill Mallory, and that glorious run to the Rose Bowl in 1967 that virtually no one alive can remember, IU and football have never gone together. Big 10 Football Media Days begin at Noon today, and […]
Finally. Indiana University announced today beer and wine will be available to fans attending football games at Memorial Stadium. For decades, students and alums consumed beer and liquor with vigor before leaving their tailgate for the stadium. Many fans, already having a good time at the tailgate, would refuse to head into the stadium because […]
Player names are returning to Indiana Football jerseys, and that is a very good thing. For the record, at the time of the change a year ago, I was a big fan of taking names off the jerseys. Favoring the collective over the individual is the principle lesson of football, so it made all kinds […]

There comes a moment in each of our lives when we learn our most important legacy is in how we help others. That time has not come yet for former Indiana University quarterback Brandon Dawkins.

There are university campuses across America where the anticipation of another college football season will charge the atmosphere. Students and boosters will count down the hours to kickoff. Bloomington, Indiana, is not one of those college towns. At Indiana University, people will go about their business, attend class, and instead of charging the atmosphere, students […]
Nothing wrong with IU athletic director Fred Glass’s fast twitch administrative muscles. “Fired Wilson, hired Allen, let’s get lunch!” Indiana Football coach Kevin Wilson resigned today, and I’m pretty sure he was asked to. The cost of that resignation? Exactly $542,000, according to Glass. At least we assume that quid pro quo. Mutually agreed to […]
Hard to blame Indiana University football coach Kevin Wilson for imploring fans to stick around for four quarters during games at Memorial Stadium. If I could see half of the listeners flip their radios off at 4:30p, I would be disappointed too. Wilson asked fans to stick around this Saturday as the Hoosiers face […]
No undergraduate student on Indiana University’s campus was alive the last time the Hoosiers went to a bowl in consecutive seasons. Indiana remains the losingest program in college football history. So did Indiana coach Kevin Wilson lose his mind/slip a cog/have bubbles in his think tank when he boasted about the potential for his sixth IU team […]
