    The fact that Bryant Fitzgerald could not play football last year is abominable. There's plenty of blame to go around, but, holy cow, the NCAA's immediate denials were appallingly bad.

    Just one more piece of evidence as to why the NCAA needs to be blown up.

    Well what is done is done. Looking forward to seeing him on the field this year.

    Looking at the schedule I would guess right around that 6-6 mark. But I am keeping my fingers crossed for 8-4.

    My concern with this year's bunch is that the starting QB's will continue to underwhelm with no one guy proving to be head and shoulders above the other two.

    Apparently Ramsey's won the job. Quite honestly, he's the one I'm least excited in seeing win it, but hopefully he surpasses my expectations.

    Yeah, I am disappointed myself.

    Looks like Ellison has been Wally Pipped. Then again, assuming Ellison returns from his suspension, the Hoosiers will have an embarrassment of riches at the RB position.
    Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.

    I am really starting to get excited about this squad.

    I'm doing my best not to get too attached to any of the guys, but Penix, Scott, and Taylor sure have looked impressive.
    One thing I've noticed over the last 5-10 years is that the talent level at IU has upgraded primarily at the bottom of the roster. I heard Buck Suhr say prior to the first game of the season, there's no one on the travel roster that doesn't at least look like a Big Ten football player.
    However, outside of Tevin Coleman and Jordan Howard(the latter of whom fell into the Hoosiers laps), there haven't been any players that really scream future NFL playmaker. One reason they've been able to whether the graduations/NFL promotions of the WR so well is that they have a lot of guys who are fringy NFL talent WR.

    On one hand, this is good. It sets a floor above where previous IU teams would fall. I don't think any team in Tom Allen's tenure will fail to win a Big Ten game for instance, or go 2-10.
    However, the next step is finding (and developing) those next level talents that can elevate the team from the muddled middle to the tier of pretty good/occasionally great B1G teams.

    Pretty spot on assessment. Hopefully as a result of what you mentioned, the next time a dynamic guy like Tevin Coleman does come through, the surrounding cast will be good enough to turn the team into an upper tier big ten team.

    Have you read/heard about the new trainers that were brought onto IU staff? They sound like they are working wonders with the athletes and could really be an advantage for the Hoosiers over some other squads of similar talent levels. Nice to see them on the front edge of player development, unlike another team that wears Red.
