    Allen also has these bonuses built into his contract.  Decent chance he could get an extra $500,000 or more this year.

    $50,000 for being B1G coach of the year, and $100,000 for being national coach of the year.

    An extra $200,000 for reaching a NY6 bowl.

    $150,000 if we win the conference, and $50,000 if we win the B1G East.

    $100,000 for reaching a bowl, and $50,000 for winning a bowl.

    It would be cool if Coach Allen earned all those bonuses.  And shared part of them with his assistants.  LEO

    And Wommack is basically running Allen's system with some of his own personality put into it.  They both learned it under Wommack's dad.  I think if we do have to bring someone in, we would be able to keep the same system and Allen could help to keep it running well.

    Coach Allen has said that he leaves the defensive play calling up to his assistants.  However... near the end of the Wisconsin game.... Coach Allen said he called one defensive play.

    Mile, everyone on this board respects you! In my opinion, you are our Coach Allen!

    Thank you jeff.  Quite a weekend for the mile family in terms of sports.  Not only did IU knock off Wisconsin... after going into the game as 14 point dogs.  But our local high school (Cherry Creek) added to their treasure chest of hundreds of state championships in multiple sports (written up in Sports Illustrated at one time)...by going undefeated and winning the state FB championship.  By the way. Myles (love the name)... an Iowa State commit..... never played on offense.... till the last two games of the season.  His coach...Dave Logan... who played in the NFL at one time.... said he has never seen or had a player that could excel at any position on the field.  Kind of wish IU could have gotten in on Myles Purchase.

    That picture hurts. 

    I have been my family's pet mortician since I was about 15 years old.  I have been tasked with burying more than I can remember.  

    But the family farm I will inherit has a special place for all of them. 

    Sorry for your loss. 😔

    Bless you.  The mile family actually has a small tombstone in the back of our yard.  Made by a man who used to make them as a living.  Has our first dog's name. And her birthday and death date.

    Retired down here in SC about 11 years ago. The whole state is nice. Charleston gets flooded easy like N'Orleans, but there are a lot of nice places to visit and live. We happen to live in Aiken (west side of the state, not far from Augusta, GA)

    Spent a week on Myrtle Beach in the summer one year.  The humidity was horrid. Stayed inside except for early mornings, and late late at night. I am glad you like it.  However I could not live there.

    On Dec 25th 2014 our Siberian Husky Hoosier was born.  I bought her as a gift fir.my wife but it was not long until she was Aydens. She has been there through all the rough times. She would give Ayden hugs every day after school. 2 years ago she started having seizures. She has been on meds every since. They have done a great job of controlling them. She would still have a few each month. At 4:15 am our beloved HOOSIER had a seizure and never came out it. She passed while I held her. I have loss several dogs in my life but this was Aydens, HOOSIER was family. I stayed with her until 800 until my wife woke up so I could break the terrible.  No one in our family is taking it well. Just wanted to share.

    I WILL post some pics later of her and Ayden over the years.

    RIP HOOSIER 

     

    So sad to hear.  I know what it is like to lose a dog. We have lost several over the years.  Takes time to recover. However... we continue to get more.

    This past week, a friend of my son.... dog went blind literally  over night.  They are working with him to cope.

    They are going out of there way to make sure these guys play because they are playoff teams.

    I hear ya.  But Denver might have been able to jump into to mix with a win on Sunday.... had not the NFL pulled the rug from out of their legs.   Only positive was Denver not getting shut out.  465  consecutive home games without a shut out.

    They have a wide receiver that started 3 years in college. Imagine the nfl tries to postpone it.

    Hinton is the WR. Also, looking at RB Freeman taking some snaps as well.  The thing is that not one of the QB's have tested positive, but came in contact with someone who tested positive. And then were sent home by the league, for practicing without a mask on Friday.

    My oldest daughter (36) tested positive today...

    Said she's feeling ok, can't taste anything, and has a low grade fever...

     

    I hate to hear that.  It's one thing to hear about some one you don't know. But quite another thing if it is a family member.  I wish her well.
