It was probably directed at me and I have no problem with that. My post wasn't directed at you or any of the other knowledgable IU fans that post realistically about their teams. It was to those fans that talk up IU football, take shots at Purdue football, and then disappear when your season hits the skids. I was surprised there was not one thread about the CMU game. Although we just won a big game, our team is no better than last week. Our program is down and may be for awhile. We Purdue fans will continue to talk about the team until the season is over, for better or worse. I suppose it's because we have had some marginal success under Tiller and our expectations are higher. |

The guy picked last in gym class

Was that the San Francisco Rice-a-Roni Bowl or the Dannon Vanilla Yogurt-Firestone Tire Bowl? |

It was the Alamo Bowl, when we were ranked 16th and Oklahoma State was ranked 24th. Great game. I know as an IU fan you aren't used to December football games. Edited by dçamden03, Nov 5 2008, 07:34 PM.

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Here's a question for our Stat-dog, when's the last time IU beat a football team that FINISHED the season in the top 25? |

Pretty tough for that to happen. Usually, a ranked team losing to IU will knock them out of the top 25, ruin any hope you had of achieving your season goals, take team morale to an all-time low, and result in a second loss to a team of lesser talent. It's science. |

I think IU has suffered some this season because teams like Iowa haven't taken them lightly. Purdue bball might suffer from the same effect this season. |

dc - Are you sure we were 16th and Okl. St. was 24th? I'm thinking it was the other way around...but I don't have any resources handy right now. |

Ah, thank you. I didn't remember us getting that high. I just remember it took a long time for us to finally get into the rankings because everyone kept saying that we didn't play OSU or Michigan that year. |

Creative Title Here

I think in 1999 IU beat Illinois who finished 24th. We also beat Wisky in 2002 and I'm not sure if they finished the year ranked because they weren't ranked going into their bowl game but they upset #14 Colorado. So maybe they were ranked afterwards? Probably not, but I'm sure they at least got some votes. |

Usually...but right now Northwestern is ranked 24th. This week they host Ohio State, then they go to Michigan, and finally host Illinois. Does anyone know Bacher and Sutton's status this week for NW? If those guys are healthy, I think they have a shot of OSU. |

No clue on Sutton, I'd bet he REALLY wants to play though, as he was the all time Ohio state HS rushing leader when he graduated and OSU didn't recruit him. I don't know if it matters with Bacher, the backup played fairly well against Minnesota. NW has a shot to run the table, it'll be tough to though. |
