My Dad played in the 1959 game in Lincoln, 23-7 IU win. Yes, That was the corso scoreboard game. LOL Sorry DT but you are in error on this. The scoreboard pic was supposedly taken against Ohio State in 1976. I say supposedly because no one can produce a copy of said picture. Lee Corso was and is a showman and was trying anything to get people to be aware of Indiana football. In the 70's you may remember that the Big Ten was often called the Big Two and the Little Eight.

itiswhatitis Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Other than DT does anyone give a crap about grammar any more? These days people are too used to texting. Grammar doesn't matter in texting. Conversational communication with our fellow human beings is becoming a lost art. I would type "L O L" but it's more sad than funny. Quote

I’m a numbers guy, so it kind of goes with the territory. Then again, I have always fancied myself to be quite the scribe, so if any grammatical error occurred, I’m sure it was because it was in the heat of the moment... Quote
Gipper Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I also put ketchup on my hot dogs, leave the toilet seat up (which really irks Mrs. Gipper), pass on the right, and cut tags off of mattresses... 1 Quote

Just an observation about how things are going in society. At my work, the break room can be full of people. All of them (except me) are looking at their cell phones and NOT talking. Really weird. If you say something to one of them, they give you a look like, "don't bother me I'm playing a game or I'm texting or I'm watching a stupid cat video". I've often wondered what would happen if cell phone service was lost for just 24 hours. I think some people's heads would explode because they wouldn't know what to do. 1 Quote

I also must warn you I speed, take the Lord’s name in vain on occasion, embellish every now and then, and drink the milk past the due date. I did find a bag of frozen vegetables 5 years past its expiration date! That went in the trash, though—crazy not stupid. Quote

itiswhatitis Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Meanwhile back at the game, IU picks up a needed road win. One more win and they should go bowling. Allen has a luxury having 2 starting qb's on the team. 2 Quote

That was a quality win....Maryland is not an easy out and had their backs against the wall playing at home....they needed that win. IU wasn't pretty at the end and I thought a little conservative on offense....but it worked out. Yep, I agree. Was a bit concerned they were going to give it away there at the end, but got the pick to seal it. Ramsey or Penix, pick your poison. Penix is a little more athletic and that's about all the difference between the 2. Quote

Penix is a little more athletic and that's about all the difference between the 2. Ramsey is a very good passer. Penix is an elite passer. He shouldn't be running at all. Just after the commentators said Tom Allen wants his QB's running more, Penix ran and was tackled hard......... result? Out for the rest of the game. He should remain a pocket passer and if forced to run slide baby slide. But, having said this IU's weak spot was and is it's defense. They will stand up a RB for a loss one play, then give up 40 yards the next. If Penix can't play against Nebraska, who is the backup? Reese Taylor? Quote

If Penix can't play then Ramsey is the backup. I don't get your question. Quote
