Periodically during the Indiana football offseason we will update you on the news and notes involving the IU football program.  Of course if there is major news we will provide that in real-time. Here’s the latest with the Hoosiers. INTRODUCING KALEN DEBOER Tom Allen introduced IU’s new offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer on Friday.  This is what the new playcaller said about his offensive philosophy: “Yeah, well, it’s going to be all revolved around what it takes to win, first of all, and there’s a fine line between excitement, right, and putting people in the stands and getting people excited about…

When the season began Rutgers was a near consensus last place prediction in the Big Ten. Now Indiana goes to Piscataway in late January in desperate need of a win….and they are just a one point favorite.  Worse yet, even that one point feels a little suspect.  This is what it has come to as IU tries to snap a six game losing streak on Wednesday night in New Jersey. Can you call this game a must win?  It’s impossible to know that right now, but with a trip to East Lansing looming next, it sure feels like it. Here’s…

Something different today — we take a satirical look at the current state of IU basketball. Yes, yes we know how that headline can be read. Honestly, with the way things are going right now, there is truth in either way you want to interpret it. Things have gotten nasty in Bloomington, and big blowout inducing runs have been the culprit.  The runs are a manifestation of everything that is wrong with this IU team right now, but if you had to distill it down to one word — they stink. Indiana head coach Archie Miller said that this team…

Former IU basketball star Damon Bailey was never about individual accomplishments.  The consummate teammate, the Heltonville, Indiana native has said on multiple occasions that he just wanted to win. And win he did.  In high school he led his Bedford North Lawrence team to the state’s final four in three out of his four seasons.  The Stars won a state championship in 1990. When he left IU in 1994, he was tied for the most career wins as a Hoosier (108) with Quinn Buckner. Over the course of racking up all of those wins, Bailey of course accumulated several individual…

If you ask anyone who the top college basketball coaches are right now across the country, Michigan head coach John Beilein is highly likely to be mentioned in the top ten, if not the top five. With two Final Fours and an Elite Eight appearance in the last six seasons, the Wolverine head coach has earned it. But it wasn’t always that way. 46-53. That was Beilein’s record through his first three seasons in Ann Arbor.  Although his contract had just been extended, the masses were howling in 2010 for the Wolverines to fire him. It wasn’t just the typical…

Make that six in a row. This 2018-19 Indiana season has tanked so far and so fast that it is beyond comprehension at this point.  Visions of Phinisee buzzer beaters and a seven game winning streak now seem so distant — it’s like it never happened. How did we get here?  Quite simply, this Indiana team has regressed — and regressed significantly.  There is no confidence outside of Juwan Morgan.  Not in the ability to make shots, not in the ability to run the offense, and not in the ability to get key defensive stops. In the end, Indiana suffered…
