We could’ve easily complained about the lot that we have been left with but no, you never heard it all year long from the team. But from that team down south it sounds like that’s what they are left to talk about
Want your thoughts on an honest question regarding Tom Allen

LOL; you Obviously haven’t watched them play this year. They will most likely lose to even Rutgers today
Great, and fair points for sure...
I like to point out that even in their greatest season in modern history, they still did not beat Purdue!
That is not what derailed their season...incompetence...arrogance...being out of touch with reality...and the return to normal as far as college football (off-season workouts, fans in the stands, etc.) are what derailed their season.
He was not a legitimate All-Conference guy...it was smoke and mirrors (and COVID)...the guy was crazy overrated...never mind Brock Huard (who has some unexplainable infatuation with IU football) declared that IU had "the best backup QB in the nation" in Tuttle.
Again, IU does not suck (again) because Penix is out...they sucked with him as well...and they would/will.
No doubt he was confused by the fact that Rutgers colors are the same as Indinia's.
I would have thought with an empty stadium...against a "bad" team...it was as close to replicating COVID circumstances and last year that IU was going to have, and, yet...they STILL suck.
Tuttle to Rutgers connection again...this time deep in Rutgers territory.
You would think someone would have explained after the first awful pick the whole "colors" thing.
Separate matter...there either is no replay official at Indinia games (which would make sense...nobody else wants to go either), or, it is inexcusable to not have any cameras to provide a definitive angle or view on the sidelines...it happened last year (and was literally how PSU lost), and, happened again today...THAT has to be resolved and is entirely on the B1G for allowing it to be the case.
Rutgers was blatantly interfered with in the end zone and it wasn't called. Rutgers had to settle for a field goal.
I will admit I did not see this much of a collapse coming. However, it was so obvious what they did last year was not sustainable. I did think the could stay around .500.
I'm loving every second of this though. The Indianapolis media bias for LEO was nauseating. If Allen would have posted the 2 big wins against top 5 teams Brohm has this year, he would have needed an office at 107.5 The Fan along with daily front page articles in the Star throughout the week. Has he still only beaten one team with a winning record?
The atmosphere in Bloomington today is a reality check on the state of the program. It's officially dead. Recruits will start flipping over the next few weeks too.

I now know the 2nd worst team in the B1G is much, much better than the worst team in the B1G.
Rutgers 24 Indinia 3
There are probably only 1,000 Indinia fans still there in the middle of the third quarter.
Even the geese have left!

My 1st time watching Indinia this year.
It would appear that they have reclaimed their historical standing in college football.
Great atmosphere for the couple of hundred fans. They can carry on conversations at normal speaking volumns with no concern for that annoying crowd noise thing that happens at other places.

Wow, didnt know they were THIS bad. I revise my earlier statement. IU sucks.
IU football fans have been social distancing since 1950
The Reverend Coach LEO is way over his head, even as a high school coach. And LEO doesn’t play so well when you’re the worst program in the BiG, with today’s game featuring a fight among two Indinia players and a crowd in the second half of maybe 10,000. LEO Forever!
Tom Allen is undoubtedly a fine human. So was Darrell Hazell. Unfortunately being a good guy is not a requirement to being a winning FB coach.
And I fear IU is now learning that lesson and will struggle for a long, long time. Thanks for the "above the line" reply.
He may be a nice person, but the LEO stuff is pablum for the rubes. He’s just not a good college football coach, which those of us here have known for some time. I know some of you guys are starting to realize you bought a lemon, but you should’ve known better. Bitching about it here makes you look dumb.
I'll make sure the IU A.D. puts you on the selection committee for the next hire.
I’d advise your AD to give him a lifetime contract with an enormous buy out. Feel free to pass that along.
Lots of guys that can't coach a lick that are great human beings...great family men...live their beliefs...Tom just happens to be another seemingly.
Lots of guys that are outstanding coaches that have those same traits as well.
Last year was WAY more an anomaly than this year...I mean, it was the first pandemic in at least a century.
This year is far more reflective of Indinia football historically.
You will get banned, but, that is probably for the best for everyone...especially since it will happen before the Bucket game.
Sad thing is...even if trying to sabotage the process, including him (or others outside of the clueless Indinia AD) would be more productive...in fact, leaving Dolson out would be the best thing that could happen...THAT is what you should share actually.
You misspelled Indiana. Oh, wait, you're trying to be funny too (although not very original).
Dude... Suck it up and expect it. You're going to have to live with that for a long, LONG time. (Rightfully so)
Wasn’t the Tom Allen hire accomplished without a “selection committee”? What leads you to believe his replacement will come from that construct? And which football experts with Indinia ties will form at least a part of that committee? Will Fred Glass reprise his role as AD, or will he still be on tour promoting his autobiography?
"Fast Freddy" has a new gig now - he's Bob Knight's personal chauffeur:
Can anyone watch this and not conclude this guy is a caricature?
It is like a scene from a National Lampoon movie.

Not trying to be funny at all...literally spelling it exactly how it is spelled on the front of the jersey...not my fault that your own University can't spell it correctly, or, more importantly, did not care that it was spelled incorrectly.
Not trying to be funny at all (you succeeded) literally spelling it exactly how it is spelled on the front of the jersey (actually, it was just one jersey) not my fault that your own University can't spell it correctly (wasn't aware the entire University was in charge of proof reading), or, more importantly, did not care that it was spelled incorrectly (who didn't care - the entire University, and if so, how exactly do you know the entire University did not care)?
