Leathernecks Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Sark said: Those years were built largely on a very modest out of conference schedule which is not much different than what we have now. In the Big 10, we were still below .500 during that 10 year stretch and that’s what has to change if IU is to really be successful. We have some tougher nonconference opponents coming up too. Cincinnati the next 2 years, and Louisville the 3 years after that. There will likely be a at least a loss or two out of those 5 games, so we definitely need to pick it up in conference games to make up for that. I'd love to see our firat winning conference record since 1993. In 2021 we pick up Cincinnati, WKU, and Idaho, and our cross over games in conference are @Iowa, @PU, and Minnesota. That's going to be a tough schedule, and those are the years we need to avoid key injuries. I think we're building the depth that we can afford an injury anywhere on the field and still be alright.

So his teams avged a record of 6.8-5.2 during those years, solid. A lot of those seasons had 12 games with the bowl though, so it was more like 6.3-5-.3(3 ties). Went to 6 bowl games, so we averaged 11.6 games per year. For the record, this post is 100% semantics lol. Overall point doesn't change. That was a really solid stretch.

Leathernecks Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 3 hours ago, BobSaccamanno said: The point is well taken and accurate. But I will throw in the notion that you could select different ten year periods. One data point that is interesting is that Bill Mallory came in 1984 and inherited a mess as Sam Wyche left after only one year. Mallory went 0-11 that first year. But if you give Mallory a mulligan for 1984, then measure his ten year run from 1985-1994, I think you get to 63 wins, or the 6.3 average. Back to the point, I think a 70 plus win decade is within reach. I think we can all foresee some good years. But we have to avoid the write-off year. You throw a 2-9 in there somewhere and it would wreck the decade. If you can bottom out at 5 wins in perhaps a rebuilding or injury plagued year but otherwise win 7-8 consistently, then the numbers should take care of themselves. I think we would have to have a massive amount of injuries to win less than 4 games in the next 3 years. We have more depth than I can ever remember. Also, just looked at the last 8 years, and we have 43 wins in 8 years. There's a shot we could get to 60 in 10 years if we win 17 total the next 2. It would be fun to eventually beat that 63 wins in 10 years mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess I could have made the adjustment to 13 games. Lol Also... you're correct. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 8 minutes ago, Sark said: None of those teams were very good then though. And IU was below .500 in the conference. Well most of their non conference schedule an included major conference teams and no FCS teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 9 hours ago, Sark said: True, but they weren’t good teams. Mizzou was the best of the group and they were bad. I seem to recall Mizzou being pretty damn good in the early 80's. As far as UK they were always right around .500 IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU played Mizzou each year from 1985 to 1992, going 6-0-2. During that time the Tiger’s overall record was 24-62-2. Let me guess...coaching changes?

The general public doesnt know how much football practices compared to games played. We cannot scimmage daily like basketball, baseball, and soccer. Thats where the whole "trust the process" "row the boat" type things originated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking little will come out about which individual players are there unless they post something on social media. I would guess most teams will try to avoid broadcasting who is and isn't there to avoid any chance of controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
