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 .

Well yea! Who the hell knows? But to say they didn’t benefit? You may be jumpin to conclusions

I agree, no point in disrupting a SAC conference. They are in their own little world. They can dominate there in the Fort. Why or who wants any more? This coming from the little sister. NHHS might just ride up and bite big brother in the ass one day.

The rivalry started when Myron moriority was hired at south from up north. He was a star athlete at St Joseph in Rensselaer. Then coached up north at lake central, if I’m not mistaken. Maybe not. But anyway he came to Bloomington and went up against his high school coach at Martinsville. Was a big rivalry game for several years, with both programs producing multiple all state players and D1 recruits. Bloomington north never has had the coaching to create a good rivalry. They came into existence in ‘74. So martinsville was always the challenge for Bloomington High School up to that point in football and basketball. Not so much now.

The reputation comes from Indiana’s own conference. Indiana deserved and earned the right to play for the Big championship. Only to have the ADs dismiss the Hoosiers as the step child of the conference. No wonder the National committee didn’t give them any respect, I don’t blame them, he’ll Iu’s own conference threw them under the bus.

Still my take on the situation.

Lafayette to Columbus, then go west young man to Bloomington then on to Terre Haute, then back north to Lafayette. That's a pretty big swath through the state. Could of, at one time, been the second best conference in the state. I guess still would have the potential to be now.

We shall see, I’m not convinced Indiana can win this game. They have a good chance to. Big consequences if Indiana loses to a team with a losing record. And we are Not going to gain much more than what we already have gained so far this year, if we in fact do Win.

Typical, adds nothing but conjecture and snide remarks.

Let’s “F” Indiana!

Yes. Kelly. He stated if the game was to be played in California, speaking for his players, he would turndown the invitation if the parents of the players were no allowed to attend their sons game. He was interviewed on the tube.

And Big Tom shouldn’t let his ego get in the way of how he and the whole program got rudely disrespected.

It a no win for an up and coming program. It will not hurt Indiana in the least to not play. USC and several high profile programs have for various reasons declined this year. Hell Kelly was turning down his game at the rose bowl. So in a let’s snub Indiana year, Big ten and bowl selection committee, I’m all for a turndown and regroup with penix for next year. Or we can keep getting push around like the step child we are acting like here. Any body see Fred Glass’s take on this? Man he really stuck his neck out, calling out the Big ten hierarchy, steeling Indiana’s HS players, and keeping Indiana beat down. Im not going to be on the side of allowing The Program to be purposefully disrespected.
