Yes, there are games that we can point to and say they're winnable...but they're also then "loseable", if that's even a word. And we have more history and experience in that than we do in winning. I still point to the Mallory years. It ain't like it was pre WWII. We can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we have a good chance of reaching 6 wins. I'm just stirring the pot. But I'm not nearly as certain as some folks here seem to be. There are no easy wins for us.

I have been thinking about this alot. Granted that history is not on our side. Which can taint one's perspective. And it was not just the Mallory years that we can point to for hope. But even when I was a student. During the 1967 season, IU faced four top ten regular season opponents, losing to only one. Mallory gave us hope. But back in 1967 we could not believe what was happening, as IU lost only that one game prior to the Rose Bowl.

But here is a interesting tid bit. 120 years of IU football. Only twice have we been ranked in the AP preseason polls. Two consecutive seasons after that Rose Bowl appearance.

jblaz13 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I'll gladly take even a 1 point IU win this Saturday, but unless/until it happens I'm living in the real world with my actual prediction if/when I make one. I highly doubt they sleep on Indiana this weekend because Urbs has gained quite a bit of respect for Indiana Football thus far in his tenure at OSU. Plus, unless I missed something, they still have Kevin Wilson likely reminding them not to overlook IU. You never know though and kids are kids. They read and hear the stories of their greatness all week, and who knows maybe they sleep on IU anyway. Not anything I would bet on happening personally, but I won't completely write off IU's chances to shock them and the CFB world either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry. Yep...the Purdue win was extraordinary. The entire season was, no doubt. Things went downhill until Mallory...outside of a bit of joy with Corso. There's no reason to think it can't happen again...I guess. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I assume that Purdue team had hall of famer Bob Griese. I wonder how the heck IU lost the recruiting battle for him from the southern part of the state (Evansville). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't an All-American that year, he was in years to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You heard it here first. Why I let myself become emotionally invested in IU football I’ll never know. You, , my friend hit the nail right on the head. Another dismal year and with who we have on staff the future is not so bright. In my opinion it is time to go out and hire the right person for the job no matter what it cost. Allen needs to go back to high school and coach the freshman or j.v. teams. He is out of his league. Glas needs to be held accountable for his bonehead hire.

You can't blame guys for feeling this way. How many winning football seasons has IU had since 1958? ELEVEN!!!! How many since they fired Mallory, the best fb coach IU ever had? ONE!!!!We have zero fb tradition. We have finally caught up in facilities. Yeah, we have a true Hoosier for our coach and he has ties to Florida and he's evidently a good man...all helpful, great points. But we have a huge negative ball and chain attached to this fb program in our losing, which is our tradition unfortunately. The B1G also screws us by not realigning the two divisions. But realistically....how big a change would it make? Maybe a few more wins, which might get IU to a few more bowls. Who knows? But the program is fighting a long ugly history...and that is what causes some to feel 8760, in my opinion. Yeah...we're still a bad football team. And the beat goes on. Or should I say...the beat down. 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosier8760 Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Allen is Bill Lynch 2.0. An above average assistant who rode a decent head coach’s coattails to the job, should never have been hired, and is in way over his head. He will be dismissed and likely end up as the head coach of a middling D2 or D3 college football program, sounds like someone else I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosier8760 Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Proud of the way the kids fought back, and I cannot believe or I should say I CAN believe that our piss poor coaching staff would call Gerry DiNardo style three runs up the gut and punt when we have a chance to win the game. Completely went away from what got us back in the game. but that’s Tom Allen and Mike deBoard and Company. I’m gonna throw Fred glass in there as well; his time has come and gone I would be totally fine if they gave him his walking papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy06 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I imagine Glass is going to have a ton of empty $70 seats vs Maryland. If we go into the bucket game still with 4 wins it will be a Purdue heavy crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
