I know we're in a downward spiral right now, but it man, it's like watching paint dry. I actually watched the end of the game just to get a look at the young guys who came in. Cooper Jones lined up at DT. Carter Smith at RT. Those two stood out to me. Several others, including some young OL and LB, were out there. I would love to see us hit jucos and I guess the portal for D line in particular but also receiver, running back, and O line. As bad as the line is, with a new O line coach and some promising young guys, our bigger need may be the skill positions where we lack playmaking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 It's going to be extremely difficult to justify keeping Allen around if we've now reached the point of giving away free tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefftheref Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Just watched a replay of the IU/MSU game in 2016 which we won in overtime. We looked like a football back. Lagow was the quarterback and I really enjoyed the play calling and the toughness that team showed. It's too bad Wilson had has issues and was fired. I really think he was building and improving the program and would of been successful. Maybe Dolson should look at him again!

Like I mentioned above, this isn't an unusual circumstance for a home game on Thanksgiving weekend. Students are not on campus, so they need to get as many people in the stands as possible. Obviously being terrible doesn't help, but this in not abnormal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in school, season tickets were like $50 and most students gave them away or didn’t go. IUFB student fans have always been apathetic. Obviously sucking doesn’t inspire many.

Hoosierinbham Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 1 hour ago, rico said: I am suddenly feeling better about the Purdue game. The o line is looking better, and Dexter adds another dimension to the offense. Bell seems to have slowed the pace of the offense, and that takes some pressure off the defense. Win the bucket, then go make some upgrades. Maybe some season ending momentum convinces certain guys not to transfer if they were thinking about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 The offensive line did play better! Dexter looked awesome. The OC will need to open up the passing game to even out the offense, but we definitely looked better. All about hitting Juco an Portal for upgrades for next year! Would love to beat Purdue!

Artesian_86 Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I know I'm wishful thinking about a bowl this year. That ship has sailed. It's almost impossible for IU to be considered for bowl, even if we beat Purdew Saturday and finish with a 5-7 record. I found this article, posted 6 years ago, about possible bowl eligibility with 5-7 record scenarios.... https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/ncaa-bowl-eligibility-6-6-2016/ I'd love to see IU get an opportunity for a bowl.... Again, wishful thinking on my part. What a great story that would be. Edited November 22, 2022 by Artesian_86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the guys play wide open in a home game, play spoiler to little brother, and possibly create an opportunity. Zero pressure on us. Go get some guys! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The practice time is huge. Often overlooked, but a player who spends four years at a program that makes a bowl every year gets an extra season of practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
