You may be right . I have a little bit of a different take on the situation. This program ,basketball,was in similar shape as the football program was before Wilson took over. Crean literally could not coach players, 5 years in, it was obvious when we ended up with two, 2! now, top five picks in the NBA draft. And didn’t get past the sweet sixteen. That’s when he had his walking papers but was given a 2nd chance. And AD Glass lost respect.So recruiting was his savior first 5 years, then his Achilles. He alienated all indiana HS coaches and lost all the all stars to various other schools. The situation ,little Ryan Miller took over ,was in shambles to say the least. And A situation no reasonably established coach wanted any part of after, Sampson and Crean eras. So the time frame is at least 5 years for Arch, in my mind. To accumulate and form a team here. The defense is getting respect from other coaches around the league . Also the one and done thing makes it a little harder on a unproven coach. He continues to sign top Indiana kids, keeping them away from OSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, Etc. which is crucial to the success of the program. All schools know Indiana boys can ball. Indiana is not to far off on talent but I think next year will be a big bump in production for the program. The confidence is just not there yet ,as you can see the way they finish games this year. Let’s give it another few years here.

1973 maybe ? A guess , but along time from 1987 to the 2000 team. KY has been kicking butt.

Haddock had a good run with his old buddies from the villages , woods and green, at Woodburn.

yea little sister to the east

Irishman will provide information Where did he come from?

It was nice to see 3 Indiana D1 schools land in the top 25 in the AP poll. Although I think Ball state was under ranked by 5-10 spots. Conversely Indiana was over ranked by several spots. Not so sure about ND. though.

Ryan Walters hired from Missouri for DC, in addition to Tony Peterson, you already knew from Appalachian St. As OC.

Wow , check out the assistants hired by the new coach. illini will be the new big dogs of the west , soon!

BS

We drop significantly Lol

Boy IU is really in the driver’s seat now , recruiting wise

They were put into a no win situation. You called it. If they would have won , you would hav said they beat a 4 and 5 team , big deal! Paper tiger.

Not a paper tiger. That is condescending

Agreed, A&M Oklahoma ND have a lot of ground to make up , to be mentioned. Clemson doesn’t have as good of defense as Indiana

Now all The Hoosiers have to do is win the damn game

So? I don’t think the gap is between two schools.

Have you been watching the sugar bowl?

Entertaining to day the least. I’ve seen it before, won’t be the last time either. Not a world shattering event. Emotions! Football , basketball even baseball, this stuff Happens. Why make a huge deal on here about it? Good god!

Well the people on here say the bowls are used as recruiting tools. You don’t think so? The

Don’t like. See Irishman.

Good point, has to be proof.

Thanks , ok. I slapped myself back into reality. That dirty no good rotten sob rat dip ship.................. never did like him

Poor Indiana!

Fred Glass said it right, The good ol boy AD's in the big ten want no part of the Indiana's rise in football. They've feasted on all of Indianas highs school talent forever, and don't want it to change anytime soon. I'm kind of changing my mind about Glass, thought he screwed Wilson at the time but these comments have got me liking him a little more. lol

I’m still pissed off , don’t pretend Indiana didn’t get dissed for the conference championship game. Then when the National committee was trying to determine where Indiana should go for a bowl, they deferred to the Big Ten butt hole AD’s decision to replace little sister with Big Brother Ohio! How can National give them any count, if their own Conference AD’s don’t .
