Cosign RT @cbfowler: Bielema a good choice. But if he was bothered by Urban's aggressive recruiting, the SEC may blow his mind! |

Tell me, is it true that the last thing he told his players was that he wanted to go somewhere where he could win a championship? A.K.A., not Wisconsin?

And now a long-distance dedication, from one Bret to another. I guess it's true... every Rose Bowl has it's thorn.

You're delusional. Just take your #1 men's basketball team and forget about football. Most of your fan base are Notre Dame football fans anyway. |

From the powerhouse Purdue fan? Who just settled for their third choice in their coaching search?
I'll admit that IU football is easy to dismiss. But I think Wilson has them on an upward trajectory. Time will tell. |

I wonder if this internecine Big 10 squabbling is just an inferiority complex resulting from being a mid-tier BCS conference.

Not that I'm complaining (or not enjoying it), but when did Kodos turn heel?

Yes, Kodos, this is what the local stations are saying that the players are saying this.. Is it Bielema trying to start the rivalry with Wisconsin for the future when the Iowa job opens up? Is it Bielema trying to fire up the kids for the Rose Bowl by basically saying they're not good enough? I am just appalled that the dick would say that regardless. |

Agreed. The burden of proof is on IU football. But, for the first time since Hep died, I feel good about the future of Indiana football. I may ultimately be proven wrong. For now, I'm a believer. A few years ago, nobody was giving IU hoops a chance either.
IU's weakness has long been their defense. This season, Wilson has lured four 4-star defenders with a team that won 4 games. Imagine what he can do with a team that is notching more wins. Last edited by Kodos : 12-05-2012 at 09:56 AM. |

Mario Cristobal out at FIU. No, really.
The hot rumor is that Butch Davis may be taking over. |

There is definitely opportunity to improve and turn a corner for Indiana no question but its a matter of getting it done on the field. Losing lathum stings. Losing him to your team stings more. |

Obviously, they suck right now. Must be nice to be a fan of the #1 ranked team. Cuz that means so much in college bball and all.

Just giving you a little crap I've always had a softer spot for Indiana football as I was a huge Randle-El fan back in the day. IU has always been one of my favorite programs to take over in NCAA Football video games. I do agree I see some progress with IU football under the current administration and I thought it was a damn shame Hoeppner died as he no doubt had them going in the right direction. As for names I've heard mentioned for the Wisconsin opening. Other than the ridiculous Chris Peterson/Jon Gruden mentions (not picking on Mauboy over Peterson, I saw some Madison beat writer mention him), I've seen Paul Chryst, Darrell Bevell and Notre Dame DC Bob Diaco, Pitt OC Joe Rudolph. |

Hey, at very least it means we haven't lost a game yet. I'll take it. Obviously, it means less than nothing if we crap the bed come tournament time. But right now, the team looks good, and I am optimistic. |

Hell of a season for Kent State and Hazell. Obviously he has a very short resume as a HC so who knows if this season is a fluke or not, but he's got them in a bowl game for the first time since 1972 when Don James was the HC. James turned out to be pretty good (says the Husky fan) - if Purdue is lucky, they'll have gotten another Don James.

BB fits the SEC profile. If he recruit he will be a good coach there.
I was reading replies to my posts and it went from hiring a coach to a recruit going there. Not sure why. But, those guys are right, It is hard to recruit to Iowa. Thats why the coach has to coach players up. Which KF has been able to do. But, lately his game mismanagement and refusal to come into the 2000s has hurt. But I know Iowa is a good job. Its too bad many on here are so into being haters they refuse to see it for what it is. Purdue is a tough place to win. You really have to be the right guy to win at Purdue. |

Heh. I think Barry Alvarez is going to coach the Rose Bowl. I wonder if he doesn't think he can do a Bill Snyder impression once Chryst turns him down.
Alvarez to decide whether to coach Rose |
