I really don't think Chryst deserved his fate. 2 or 3 years down the road, they could be sorry they did this... There has to be more to it. With his success and lifetime connection to the school, it just doesn't add up. Hard to see how you improve on what he did there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article surmises that it's either an in season audition for Leonhard or a head start in the Lance Leipold sweepstakes... If there was ever a "bird in the hand" scenario, this is it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those 64 years, Ohio State or Michigan have either won or tied for the conference championship 47 times... Big 2 and little 8 was what they called it back in the day... I think in my lifetime since 1970 of the original 10 of the big ten I have been 8 of those teams play in the Rose bowl. Only IU and Minnesota are the only ones not to win the conference 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Read an article dated last year that chryst was set to make $5.25 million this year and earn an annual escalator of $100,000 starting 2023. Wonder if that has anything to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 3 players from that IU Rose Bowl team, John Isenbarger, Harry Gonso, and EG White were supposed to speak at Martinsville Jr high that year. Only White showed. Pre NIL 🙂 And I always thought Terry Cole was a better back than Isenbarger anyway... 🙂🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to re-read your post because I actually first read it as "only White players showed up". Coming from Martinsville, there has always been that negative persona of the KKK about the town, especially many decades ago. I never supported that belief then, nor will I EVER! I don't live in Martinsville anymore and haven't since 1986. I believe it has changed drastically in that regard, at least what I have seen and heard, which is a great thing.

Some of the things said about the town were wrong (the Carol Jenkins murder is the most glaring example), but I can't say I never witnessed bigotry in the town...but I witnessed it in Indy, Franklin, and pretty much every town I lived in, in or out of Indiana... And I join you hoping things have changed there... I looked up the wrong player....lol. Yes I unfortunately witnessed it growing up. I remember when I was in middle school,....Martinsville did not celebrate MLK day and had to go to school. Other schools around, like Bloomington South and North did. Embarrassing and Unacceptable!

I coached middle school football in the early 80's in Columbus, IN. I can tell you that my black players were terrified when we played in Martinsville, and I had to make sure that they always were with a group when going to the bathroom or whatever. At that level, there was no monitoring what the teams did. At the high school level, with state rankings and media coverage, this wasn't a problem. Glad to hear that things have changed there. Sorry it took so long though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
