Back in the winter of 1970 I saw IU v. UK in the Old field house. There were fold out bleachers on the side of the court and bleachers on the end that were a little more roomy. Adolph Rupp was still UK's coach. He had injured his foot. When he took his seat on the sidelines, he placed his foot on a stool with a beautiful Kentucky blue pillow. Of course, the IU fans hooted and hollered at him. All in good cheer. This was the one and only year that Big George played for the Hoosiers. Ritter, Harris, Wright, and Downing were the other starters. UK was highly ranked and the Hoosiers had high expectations. UK scored with seconds left in regulation to tie the game. The noise made it hard to hear anything as IU inbounded the ball. When Ritter hit a half court shot to apparently win the game, the roof literally came off. But the refs waived off the field goal because Big George had called timeout. Ritter was unable to duplicate his feat on the replay and IU lost in OT. And as they say the rest is history. I guess Big George saved a Kentucky Playboy pinup that day from getting trampled that day from a vicious IU mob storming the court.

You made my DAY!

Yeah but we can't even keep good assistant coaches. How we going to get and keep a good HC?

Pass interference.

Since when did you start being politically correct?

Tua down.

Take the quarter off!

We're ahead. Mr. Flynn must have taken a powder for the first half!

A defensive stop!

You're way too optimistic.

Md. came loaded for bear, and IU snoozing.

Great offensive drive!

I hope we play Lucas more. He's exciting.

Don't watch the 1st half!

If we're going to go to a bowl, we need to win this one. Unfortunately Md. has shown much more than IU has on both sides of the ball.

Yes. Good defender and playmaker. He'll compliment X well.

I heard that was because Brad's waiting on IU to offer him the head coach job.

I am able to switch pages now when on my home computer.

Well, I was going to say that our punting has been really good.

Are you related to IUScott?

It's called "symbolism".

I think that there are 3 and maybe more games on the schedule that we can win and get to a bowl despite our current problems. Nebraska, Purdue, Maryland, and Rutgers. I know Md. gave UM all they could handle at UM, but that game is at IU. Unfortunately Rutgers and Md. getting better and we will have problems beating anyone in our division in the future if we don't start rolling.

Ratings wise our recruiting classes have increased and we were in top 25 in the incoming class. I would also observe that for the last 2 years we have relied on the portal for many skill players. I think this year that almost all of our offensive skill players are from the portal.

You are absolutely right. OL is our biggest weakness by far.

Yeah, they're just fooling with us.
