I’m honestly not sure how you could watch that game and not point to the effort. The amount of times we didn’t even attempt to get rebounding position or didn’t release to the ball was just sad. At least 3 of 4 times we were complacent with grabbing a rebound and it ended up being a 2nd chance 3. Miami crushed us on 2nd chance points, and I don’t think that they were a great rebounding team.

Based on the Minnesota player's reaction, I expected the replay to show a pretty clean play. It was not...he got a large chunk of his forearm and wrist before making any contact with the ball. Very clearly a foul that is going to be called basically every single time.

It’s almost as if you had this written up before you read any responses. I don’t see a single over-the-top post.

It's barely worth your time to resell IU tickets to most games. I originally bought season tickets to accrue points, which an IU employee sold me on doing. I live in Chicago and don't have a car and can't go to most games. The first year, I sold the tickets to make some of my money back (definitely did not come close to turning a profit). Now I have tickets with my uncle and just give them to him when I can't go, and I honestly don't care because you make so little money selling the tickets. Kind of seems like a beggars can't be choosers situation to me. You should be happy anyone is willing to buy them to watch this awful product.

Not to be overly argumentative here but I just looked it up and it was a 2 year extension with a salary of less than 400k per year. Maybe there are other inclusions in that contract that would make it higher but either way, it’s not the same universe in terms of a payout. At some point, the amount of money matters.

Easy to say when it’s not your money. First you have to find the boosters with the cash and second you have to convince them there will be a return on their investment with improved results. IU is not exactly a destination for coaches that would give you faith in #2.

I feel like there are very few things in life you can know without a shadow of a doubt. But I feel very confident there aren’t IU boosters that care about football enough to pony up 25.5 million to buy out Allen after this year. His contract was a byproduct of irrational exuberance and puts us in a terrible position short term.

I don’t disagree with either of those assertions. But it’s not yesterday’s win that’s prolonging anything. It’s his contract.

I don’t really understand this comment. Allen’s job is not on the line, at least not this year. The contract situation trumps performance issues for the foreseeable future. Let’s just enjoy the win.

Do we still think this is a “program on the upswing?”

Do you have anything to validate this? Deland's own words, logic and common sense would all point to you being the one who has no clue what you're talking about.
