The Bucket Game: Give Me Something To Brag About! (Indiana-Purdue pregame thoughts)

The Old Oaken Bucket was first awarded in 1925. After Chicago based alumni of both Indiana and Purdue decided to establish a rivalry trophy in honor of sportsmanship or whatever. Both Alumni chapters met and drafted the following resolution to make said trophy: “an old oaken bucket as the most typical Hoosier form of trophy, that the bucket should be taken from some well in … Continue reading The Bucket Game: Give Me Something To Brag About!

Indiana Football facing Michigan State to play for an old spitter… (Indiana Football pregame short thoughts)

3-7 Indiana vs. 5-5 Michigan State. So while the Hoosiers don’t have much of anything but pride to play for, the Michigan State Spartans are very much looking to come out and continue their way towards a potential bowl appearance. With more to lose on the line, I expect the Spartans to come out of the gate and desperately look put it on the already … Continue reading Indiana Football facing Michigan State to play for an old spitter… (Indiana Football pregame short thoughts)

Buckeyes will look to show out and Hoosier Football is Pain. (Ohio State-Indiana really short pregame thoughts)

What can be said heading into Indiana’s upcoming game at Ohio State University? Vegas has Ohio State as a 40 point favorite. That is just downright program definingly embarrassing. I have had so much unwarranted faith in the Indiana Hoosiers, but alas, I have finally run out. So while I could sit here and write about how the Hoosiers could hope to beat the Buckeyes, … Continue reading Buckeyes will look to show out and Hoosier Football is Pain.

Brendan Sorsby and Dexter Williams II make their unexpected debuts as the Hoosiers fall to the Nittany Lions (IU-Penn State really short post game thoughts)

Walt Bell and the Indiana offense looked to shake things up a bit with the decision to start Jack Tuttle. It looked to quickly pay off in the form of the second Hoosier drive in this one. With Jack Tuttle delivering the TD to AJ Barner. Tying it up 7-7. Within this drive Jack Tuttle exhibited a swagger and tenacious attitude that the Indiana offense … Continue reading Brendan Sorsby and Dexter Williams II make their unexpected debuts as the Hoosiers fall to the Nittany Lions (IU-Penn State really short post game thoughts)

It may be time to start gearing up for next season Hoosiers. (IU-Penn State short pregame thoughts)

How we doing Hoosier fans? That was a long bye week where we got to sit and marinate in that Rutgers loss. We got a whole 2 weeks to sit and reflect on the current state of the Indiana Hoosiers football program. I have to say, I am beginning to think we may not be faring so well (understatement I know). I am usually optimistic … Continue reading It may be time to start gearing up for next season Hoosiers. (IU-Penn State short pregame thoughts)

Indiana Football loses at Rutgers and it’s almost time for basketball! (IU-Rutgers very short post game thoughts)

Well, it’s not every day you see Indiana take the lead with 8 seconds off the clock. What a start and injection of life that was for the Indiana Hoosiers! Things were really rolling for the Hoosier Faithful… until they weren’t. In what marks another low point in Indiana University Football history, the Hoosiers absolutely embarrassed themselves losing 24-17. Rutgers hadn’t beat a big ten … Continue reading Indiana Football loses at Rutgers and it’s almost time for basketball! (IU-Rutgers very short post game thoughts)

In what continues to be a heartbreaking season of almosts and just shorts. Indiana Football has left so much to be desired.

Taulia and the Terps looking to beat down my Hoosiers (IU-Maryland pregame short thoughts)

Week 7 is upon us, and as an Indiana fan I find myself in a familiar place. Halfway through the season, staring ahead counting out wins and losses hoping that the math ultimately adds up to the Indiana Hoosiers having a bowl game appearance. The next stop on any path to a bowl game is a win here over the Maryland Terapins. The terps are … Continue reading Taulia and the Terps looking to beat down my Hoosiers (IU-Maryland pregame short thoughts)

Indiana takes first loss in Cincy after a game tighter than the score would suggest. (Indiana football post game thoughts)

Well Hoosier fans, 3-0 was pretty great. Now we find ourselves at 3-1. Boy did the Hoosiers sure look like they may begin to make the 4th victory push of the season thanks to the Shivers touchdown and subsequent stop by the Indiana defense to start off the 4th quarter. Starting that game with a Bazelak overthrown interception wasn’t the best. Just like he’s been … Continue reading Indiana takes first loss in Cincy after a game tighter than the score would suggest.
