rico Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Better get used to this. From another board: I get the point you are making about why that is the worst loss, however, I think Indiana clearly had the worst loss yesterday. Indiana fans and the program spent the entire offseason beating their chests, saying they were one of the best teams in the country with one of the best head coaches in the country and one of the best QBs in the country. They got complete manhandled by a likely solid Iowa team, but nothing special. Penix had a horrendous game. All of that goodwill from last season is bye-bye.

B_A Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 They'll bounce back and make up for it these next 2 games. Tom knows how good this team is. Coaches will be earning their paychecks now. We will see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier51 Posted September 8, 2021 Report Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Take care of business this week then beat the Bearcats and that goes away. 👍 Teams have bad games, the Sooners looked underwhelming against Tulane, Clemson scored three points, Northwestern and Wisconsin both looked bad so did UNC and Washington, who lost to Montana. It is how you respond to those losses that define your season. 👍 Edited September 8, 2021 by Hoosier51 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt, this was the most anticipated opener for me spanning 30 years. From the misspelled jersey to unranked is a hit. Coach has always coached up the underdog, and they will learn from this. Get better each day...the talent is there from players to coaches. Fans are hungry...take back the season. Long season, reset and shock the country! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo123 Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Penix aside with the horrible calls. If we don't get Ty Fry fixed we have to give someone else a shot. I am going to ask again. what happened to Linebacker James Miller #8 Why the ---- did he not play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not the gift that keeps on giving? If quarterback play was good IU would be 2-1, if it was great they would be 3-0 ranked top 8. It's been bad unfortunately so we sit at 1-2. Oh what might have been. Good thing is there is a lot of season left and enough high level teams to prove last year was not a flash in the pan. After 3 weeks that's all I keep hearing from the doubters Edited September 20, 2021 by Billingsley99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the first time we've ever had a night game there? It's infinitely harder to win in that stadium when the fans and students have had all day to get tanked up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've usually been given the Noon ESPN2 slot....so I take this as a compliment but it doesn't help one of the hardest schedules in the country playing nightgames there. Especially after beating them last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 We weren’t winning a national title anyway, so whether we finish with 2, 3, 4, 5 losses….doesn’t matter all that much. If we do finish 7-5, some are going to say we underachieved, we regressed, blah blah blah. When’s the last time we went to 3 consecutive bowls? Regression my mildly oversized white buttocks. Nothing is ever a continual path up. There are hitches and setbacks along the way. The “static” team goals for the next 2-3 seasons should be beat Purdue and get to a bowl. Anything beyond that is just kvetching. Do that, and now we have a legitimate recent history we can point to and build on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 At this point our schedule includes four Top 10 teams. As long our season ends with a bowl game, we will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU878176 Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 We really need to be 3-3 after the MSU game, which will mean beating WKU and MSU while most likely losing @PSU. If we can get to 3-3 we have a reasonable, although still quite tough, path to a bowl game. It will be extremely difficult to become bowl eligible, however, if we find ourselves at 2-4 while still having to play UM, OSU, improved MD and Rutgers, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
