If I was so obsessed with IU that I would spend time looking at their schedule and making predictions, I would be posting on the IU board.
So you admittedly have no knowledge of IU’s schedule (and likely of IU’s team in general), yet you are certain they are in for a rude awakening come conference season. Seems like wishful thinking at best on your part.
With your joke of a schedule? Should get overhyped up to about 18 before the trek toward the NIT starts.
All one needs to look at is the level of talent on other teams not named IU and then consider that IU is a team of mixed/matched players who came from losing teams, added to the IU team that was also a losing team.
Accurate post. It will be hilarious to watch the implosion when it happens. I mean it's Indinia.
You want to put something on that? Laughably bad take, and obvious you haven't looked at the schedules lol.
fair. I think IU could reach the 2nd tier (Illinois, Ohio St) if everything goes as well as it can, but not the 1st tier (Purdue, Michigan)
Why are you so focused on the strength of schedule as though a weak SoS makes IU a good team? Is a 20-10 team with a SoS of 300 just as good as a 20-10 team with a SoS of 5?
I may be in the minority, but I don't think Michigan is necessarily a top five (never mind top two) team. They are replacing Livers, Wagner, Chauncee Brown, and a really underrated Mike Smith, with top tier freshman and one small conference point. That's not enough for me.
I know that Hoosier21 is a flaming machine, but IU's double plays against Minny, Penn St, and Wisky are a major help. Can't have an off day against PU, OSU, etc., but you can have an off day against those teams and win. IU doesn't play at OSU, at Illinois, or at Michigan. That will help the bottom line without question.
The bottom half of the Big Ten is all time weak this year. Those are free games. The more of those teams you play, the better.
I think when you have this:
He is not even truthful about when he created his account- it clearly shows the account was created on October 1. But as I said in another thread- his perception of time is weird.
What exactly was I not truthful about? I created the account on Oct 1, and decided against responding on that day. I responded on Monday for the first time.... so what again was i not truthful about?
It's a very high talent level. But compared to what they had last year? I'll take Wagner, Livers, and Smith over top 50 18/19 year olds any day. The Fab 5 at Michigan had more talent, and never won a B1G title in two years (the Cheaney IU squads beat them every time).
apologies, could have sworn that you said you created the account "about 2 months ago"
Maybe not my place to give advice, but if there's a banned poster who came on your board under a new handle, shouldn't that IP address and all new handles be banned?
Guess we will see. We have seen Michigan win with freshmen before. I think it's higher end talent than just "top 50"
That's not how IP addresses work as @IUhaterade is about to inform you, given that he was caught up in a little mishap on this issue in the last few years...
Yes that is what I would think- otherwise I don't know what the point of banning the account would be if you can just create a new one. That is why I tagged @JohnnyDoeBoiler yesterday.
Right- you can not prove someone's identity just because they share an IP address with a previous poster.
Correct, and I would have no issues with a ban. Just pointing out why banning the IP address is not a solution.
Unless I guess if banning an IP address is the policy of GBI... in which case a particular poster could cause others in their home to be banned. Wouldn't really care for that policy though tbh.
Southwest Wyoming State Technical Institute could take a day off against Minnesota this year. If they win 5 B1G games Ben Johnson is a budding genius.
Understatement of the year. That person has obvious mental issues so I immediately put him on ignore.
lol. I have history on my side. Wishful thinking has been all we have heard from you for several years.
What history do you have on your side? History that includes the current staff? Archie Miller was terrible. If Woodson is even just Crean level, this is an easy top 6 finish. I'll take that in year one given what the staff is doing on the recruiting trail.
Don't treat this guy like anything other than the trolling, loosier asshat that he is.
Every year. Crean, Miller, and now Woodson. The coaches change and the players change, but the wishful thinking continues. And every year you tell us that this time it's different. Maybe... someday...
In this case you'd likely only be banning his parents who should have used the Trojan years ago.
You act like Crean had no success. Archie is the only IU coach in the last 50 years that hasn't had success. Even Sampson was well on his way to big time success before IU panicked and self imposed a death penalty.Every year. Crean, Miller, and now Woodson. The coaches change and the players change, but the wishful thinking continues. And every year you tell us that this time it's different. Maybe... someday...
But you are already bragging about an easy 6th place finish in the Big Ten. I suppose they will hand out rings and you'll be back here bragging "I-told-you-so".
