We are in massive need for positively, which like you state, was once your strong suit. You guys are going at it a little over the stress of watching the team play the same disheartening way, if I could see some real fight - tears , anything that showed these loses are at the very least being learnt to be laid back in spades at a later date, but damn if I don’t feel like no one cares. This sport is suppose to be fun and these young men should be making life long friends and memories. I’m sure I’m going crazy, I don’t see the fire I see from freaking Rutgers or any other doormat, is Indiana a doormat????? What a turn of events, and I hate it. Edit, meant to say heck no this forum isn’t bad, I’ve been to other forums, this place is different and has been since day one. I swear it’s worse now then Crean’s last season. Hopefully we all get to see IU back where we want to be someday.

Man, I agree complaining doesn’t help, if it did, Coach Crean would have hung a couple banners - closing in on matching the General. I think I’m just really down, starting to think fandom may be hurting me more then any joy I get- Hoosier fans need a much needed boost in confidence.

Look I know we’re sucking hind tit here fellas, but I’ve seen more personal attacks in the last couple months, and it sure isn’t helping the mood. Remember why we are here and what this site has meant and should continue to mean, sucking is bad enough.

Decent game between Purdont and Ohio State, last I checked Guys in black up 7.

Heck no, I wouldn’t want a hellgramite under my hat, been pinch plenty of times and they hurt. Going off on a tangent here, I’ve worked in the roofing industry since I graduated. Back years and years when I still replaced shingle roofs me and a good friend of mine would subcontract from a local company. I recall doing a roof that had wasp in the vents on a hip roof we were doing . Wasp would come out and fly around you every time we were banging down shingles, we would use our ball caps and swat them away or down on roof and step on them. Once again long story short, on the way that evening I had stopped at a friends house and raised hat to wipe my forehead and got stung dead in the middle of my forehead, one of the wasp had got in the band of my hat and been stuck so it couldn’t move or sting but I freed it to sting me when I went to wipe my head - I was like wtf. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve caught many bullheads. I think carp are good fighters- flatheads pull hard. But bluegills on micro rods are hard to beat:)

Ok, two crazy stories/ quite true I assure you. First I remember me and my older brother went fishing at the Yellow River in Bremen Indiana, my hometown, we could walk to the river in 10 minutes- the fish were biting so well we quickly ran out of bait- my brother says “ I bet I can catch on an empty hook”, needles to say he cast out an empty hook and catches a bluegill. Second story, me and my other olde brother have always fished together and have fished hundreds of times together. Spring time down here in Kentucky we like to seine rocky bottom creeks for hellgrammites / which are larvae form of a Dobson Fly. If anyone doesn’t know what one is, they are a leathery little creature with multiple legs and a pretty decent set of pinchers, smallmouth and rock bass absolutely love them, long story short, I caught a medium size rock bass 7-8 inches and reel it in- go to unhook and find I never had it hooked at all - when the fish went to eat the bait the bait had pinched into its gills and that’s how I reeled it in, my bait caught the fish 🎣. Best story and sorry it’s a poorly told and typed story.

When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here have passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass! Bobby Knight
