I think Michigan State may end up being worse than IU

All your years though? The bowl game against Oklahoma State…last year? There have been a number of occasions under Kelly that they have done this. The USC game at ND 3 years ago, I believe is another.

ND has a history of getting out to fast starts then going passive to try to hold on to a win. This is another exaample. Remember the 3rd and 17 run by BYU from deep in their own end of the field. The missed 2 point conversion looms large now as well.

Pyne looked good in the 1st half. Hel looks a lot more comfortable. Love seeing Mayer getting the looks he is.

Michigan showed up in the 2nd half, and IU's play calling did nothing to adjust to the pass rush. Bazelak is taking too many hits.

It happened during a commercial break, so I don't think anyone ran into him. The sideline reporter used the term seizure, so I am guessing he just collapsed; still no reason given as to why.

So many mistakes and to be tied at the half is not what anyone expected in this one. Really hoping Mike Hart is ok....great dude and great coach as well.

Don't blink

He ain't wrong 🤣

lol The coach at the end of it.....hilarious.

R has options. It is a 10 yard penalty, they can choose to re-kick from K's 30, or if it is touched, 10 yards from that spot. If there is no touching, it's a loose ball foul and goes from the previous spot.

Taking my wild guess, the key is the ball was not touched and had not gone 10 yeard when K initiated contact. So yeah, penalty on the kicking team. Had R touched the ball at the 47, then no penalty call for contact.

Some great memories guys. I was in junior high when our coaches took us to the IU Illinois game. While it was cold, we had a great time. IU barely beat them, but a win is always a win. I think that was Mike White's 2nd season? Lonnie Johnson had a solid game, but we were able to get behind the bench....he was having a blast, chatting up everyone around him...on the team and in the stands.

Anything that gets donated is appreciated; no judging of those who don't from those of us on the admin side. There have been a number of very active people over the years who have not donated. We have even had people promise to pay, or use a donation as a bet and not follow through......no big deal though. Seems that things always work themselves out.

This is pretty cool to see just how much alike these two plays are

I agree 1000000000%

The story was there were a couple schools considering him before the extension was signed. I don't believe they were in a power 5 conference though. Outside of the buyout, at that time, it was the right move. It's easy for some to look back now and say that was a poor choice, or even not the best choice, but it really was a good move based on the results of that time. It had even been discussed here that the constant turnover of coaches, including the head coach was a factor in IU's problems.

A few will say it does show IU is willing to spend money on the program. But with buyouts like that, there may not be much left to bring in a coach who could really do something for the program.

And with that buyout, someone better be having a chat with the AD and anyone else involved in saying, yep, looks good,

Anyone have Mark Cuban's number? I got a new phone and lost my contacts. The concern now is the bigger picture. Do guys in the locker room pull the team together? Or is it falling apart? The rah rah stuff, while it is genuinely who Allen is, can become noise with the way this is going. Just like a coach who tries to be a hard ass. I am not sure either extreme is good for long term success of a program. Losing on a regular basis creates a level of doubt. Just like a virus, that doubt can spread quickly.

Seems to be a lot of uncertainty in Madison. If Leonhard is just an interim solution, I do think UW is a program that could attract some really good coaches. Crazy to think that when I was in college, IU and UWM were regularly competing for bottom spots in the conference and just as crazy to see what Alvarez did with that program. I have LONG (Long before Allen or even Wilson were named HC) said someone in Bloomington needs to at least be consulting with Alvarez on how he built that program, and sustained it for so long.

Who would NOT want to sit down and have a few drinks with Mike Leach. This is classic https://twitter.com/AlyssaLang/status/1576583051114876928?s=20

The run game is still solid. The passing game is still out of sync. It is too late into this season for the QB and receivers to not be on the same page. The deep pass game is still non existent; not sure why they try so often to go deep any more. Props to the best in the business in Bellichick. Outstanding game plan on both sides of the ball.

DK Metcalf with the tweet of the day lol
