This season has been super disappointing. Not like I'm going anywhere though. been following IU football since 1987. Which that season we were one game from going to the Rose Bowl and Lorenzo White shredded us. I remember watching that game but overall I was too young to appreciate IU being in that kind of position. So last season was super special to me having mostly suffered through bad football for about 30 years.

As long as our recruiting stays on the uptick, we'll be fine. Still can go to a bowl this season even with the rough start and schedule. I'm sure Coach Allen will re-evaluate certain assistant coaching needs *ahem*. 

But in the present moment, yeah all the air has leaked out of my balloon. Let's unleash all the frustration on the box turtles next week. 💪😎🍻

Do you think if IU hired Nick Saban starting next year, we could become a Powerhouse in the BIG?  I don't know.  I honestly think we just can't.  What are you guys thoughts?

If he brought his entire Alabama roster with him through the transfer portal, sure!

On the way to Pound Town right now. Defense can't stop them. 

Yeah I'm with btownqb. I'm not a huge fan of bubble screens either but the OL play combined with the lack of receiver separation makes it nigh impossible to consistently get throw the ball downfield.

Is that 1 shot per play, or can you have 5 shots on one play?

Clearly I did not think this through. 😂

New drinking game - take a shot every time the OL misses a block. 🥃

Actually no, don't do that. You will die.

It's one of those chicken or the egg things. If Tuttle can't make throws....I get why Sheridan has to dial it back. Or is Sheridan the problem? Either way....a healthy Penix masks plenty of problems but our defense has played so frickin good. Shame to be sitting at 2-4 with no margin for error for bowl game now.

Yeah wasting good defense makes me a sad bronko.

I think I'd rather hug a cactus than watch our offense. Is the OL talent really that bad or the OL coaching that bad or a combination of the two? Ugh!

I’m gonna go chop some wood. Has to be more fun than watching this pathetic offense. 

Yeah at this point I'd rather do household chores than watch our offense sputter.

Leaving as many points on the field as this team does every week typically isn't one of the hallmarks of a good team. 

Yeah it is extremely frustrating 

Clearly outplaying Sparty. Get a TD to start the 2nd half plz. 

The 2 point conversion by Philly last night had me cussing. I had Tampa at -6.5. 😥

Bears. 💪😎🍻

Guys and gals, I think we might lose this game.

I'm starting to wonder if Luke just wanted to get away from his parents.

If so, that is some 4D chess he just played. Figuratively breaking their ankles to get them to move to Florida then coming back to Indiana. 😂

RAWR PENN STATE ANGRY ABOUT LAST YEAR. Who cares. Come out and compete and don't beat ourselves with self-inflicted wounds and it will be a competitive game. I'll be very disappointed if we do a repeat of the Iowa game here.

Easy win, never in doubt. 💪😎🍻

Bears, Ditka, polish sausage...........heart attack........**thumps chest*** okay I'm good now. 

I miss the good old days of going 1-7 in the Big Ten three straight years and having to argue with people on message boards who I could only assume were Bill Lynch's extended family with multiple accounts saying we could not do better. 💪😎🥃

At this point our schedule includes four Top 10 teams. As long our season ends with a bowl game, we will be fine.

Natty and I are at the walk right now waiting for the team. 

Dude I was so close to that exact spot that I'm surprised I'm not in the photo! 😂

Hey All,

Natty, UpperArlington, and I are going to the Sept 18th game vs Cincy, and would love to get a tailgate/get together with other board members! It’s a 12et/11ct kickoff, and I would get there early to set up shop for everyone to come by. 
I don’t know if I plan to do much food, but if people want to chip in then we can get people fed and drink the day away. Please let me know if you can make it, because I will at least get snacks and some drinks for everyone. 
Hope to see a lot of you there, and I will posted this on BTB as well. 

Well I just ordered my ticket so I reckon I will hang out. 💪😎🥃

How early do you reckon I would need to get there this Saturday to snag one of those $30 parking spots to the north of the stadium? Probably will just be getting a ticket off StubHub and whatever so I doubt those come with a parking pass right?

These are in stock now. Wish I could pick the number though. For a throwback style jersey I'd definitely want #32 for AT.

I was working in Indy on that day. I recall the clear blue sky as well. When I got to work, I turned on my radio to X103 and they were talking in somber tones so I immediately assumed a musician had passed away. Then they talked about a plane hitting the World Trade Center and talking about it possibly being a small plane. Obviously things escalated from there. By the time the Pentagon got hit, I turned to my co-worker (who passed away earlier this year, rest in peace brother) and we just exchanged WTF looks. That was a terrifying moment in time where it felt like a new World War or something just broke out. Beyond surreal.

Around lunchtime our company president called us all into a conference room and we saw the actual video on a TV, did a group prayer then were sent home for the day. I went straight to the liquor store directly across from my apartment complex to buy a 6-pack of Sam Adam's Boston Ale (odd random detail seared into my brain) and spent the remainder of the day sipping on those beers while catching up on all the events on various cable TV networks.
