The Indiana football program announced on Monday that its spring practice season will begin on Tuesday, March 9. The program will also host its pro day on April 2. IU has yet to announce whether it will hold a 2021 spring game, and if it does, whether fans will be permitted to attend. Indiana held four spring practices last year before the remaining sessions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hoosiers are scheduled to open the 2021 season on Sept. 4 at Iowa.  You can see the complete schedule HERE. https://twitter.com/IndianaFootball/status/1363912206195322887?s=20 Indiana also announced the jersey numbers for…

This isn’t going well.  And it could end worse.  Much worse. Looking ahead at the two “easy” games remaining on Indiana’s schedule — Rutgers and Michigan State — the Hoosiers have already lost to both of them.  At home.  Decisively. And then there is another road trip to face a Purdue program that IU hasn’t defeated in five years.  Five years.  You already know all too well that Archie Miller has never defeated the Boilermakers since he took over the program for the 2017-18 season. Indiana’s only home game remaining comes against a top-5 Michigan program that Miller has also…

Like just about everything else with IU football, it has been since the late 60s since we’ve seen this. Indiana’s basketball program is floundering, while the football program is fresh off a season in which it appeared in the AP top-10 five times. Head coach Tom Allen’s Hoosiers finished the 2020 season 6-2 with wins over Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin, and the expectations are that his team will open the 2021 campaign ranked inside the top-15.  It has been a major turnaround for a program that has historically been thought of as one of the nation’s worst.…

After a dominant start on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, it was difficult to imagine how Michigan State would survive against Indiana.  Now it is difficult to imagine how Indiana will survive Selection Sunday. The Hoosiers dropped one they couldn’t afford to lose and put their postseason hopes in serious jeopardy with just four games remaining in the regular season. For weeks the question has been — how can Indiana start faster?  Against the Spartans IU figured out the beginning part, but sprung a new leak at the end.  Now Indiana will once again try to patch things up and find…

It has been a while since we have seen a Michigan State team with a resume like this in February. The Spartans haven’t finished below .500 in Big Ten play since 1997, but that is where they appear to be headed in 2021 barring a miraculous late-season recovery. Indiana has won three straight over Michigan State, and another win over MSU on Saturday would mark a fourth win in five games as the Hoosiers look to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. It’s the Hoosiers and Spartans in Bloomington for a Saturday afternoon matinee. GAME DAY ESSENTIALS Michigan State…
