Well, that didn’t take long.  After an inspirational, seemingly season-changing win at Michigan State on Saturday, there is a new reality in Bloomington.  It’s the same as the old reality.  And it isn’t a pleasant one. It appears that there will be no late season dramatic turnaround as Indiana lost their third straight game on their home floor.  And there is no way to spin this fact — IU has now lost eight of their last nine games. With a home loss to Iowa on Thursday night, IU’s NCAA Tournament hopes are now firmly on the bubble the rest of…

Three former IU football stars will have an opportunity to showcase their readiness for the next level at the NFL’s annual scouting combine. Safety Jonathan Crawford, long snapper Dan Godsil and offensive lineman Brandon Knight will all participate in the annual event in Indianapolis. Jonathan Crawford became the first Hoosier (along with Godsil) and the 12th Big Ten player to start 50 games.  Crawford is one of only four IU players to appear in 50 games.  He started every game since his arrival at Indiana. Crawford shares eighth on the program’s career list with nine interceptions. The three-time honorable mention…

While a visit from Iowa generally doesn’t generate the buzz that say a Duke, Michigan State or Purdue might, that wasn’t the case in 2016. It had been a while since Iowa had a top 10 team.  In fact, you’d have to go back to the Dr. Tom Davis teams of the 80’s and 90’s to find a Hawkeye team ranked this high this late in the season.  Think of Roy Marble Sr., B.J. Armstrong and those cool all black and yellow Nike high-tops. But coming into their February 11, 2016 matchup with Indiana (19-5, 9-2), the Hawkeyes (19-4, 10-1)…

What do you know?  A home game. After spending the better part of January and early February at the airport, Indiana gets to stick around Bloomington for more than a week. First up at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall are the Iowa Hawkeyes.  IU earned the season sweep last year, but they will essentially be seeing the same team once again in 2019 as Iowa returned almost all of its production from the 2017-18 season. All of that experience is paying off thus far for Iowa.  They are significantly improved over last year and will present a major challenge for an…
